Well, as we know, 2009 is drawing to a close. I think a thread showing reviews has been deserved to it because for me, it has been one of the best. What did everyone think it went for them?
And I will of course start:
2009 for me was full of up and downs so I'll start off with the downs - It didn't start well when my great grandad was in hospital where he didn't have long to live and died anyway, but whilst it was all going on, I had recieved an update from one of my friends in the scouts who died because of cancer. I've had a bad year for my eppilepsy also, I had 5 seizures in total which is more than any year for me since I first had it, I had 1 seizure on a camp in Switzerland, 2 at college, 1 when working with my uncle and the last one I had at home a few days ago. I've also worked on a farm where not everything was done by me correctly and I also lost my great auntie this year too.
And now for the ups 2009 has been the best year for me for going to robot events where I have met famous robots like Mortis, Wheely Big Cheese & Razer for the first time. I also really enjoyed going back to Basel, Switzerland in easter as I stayed there with my class at school 3 years ago and enjoyed it but I had an injury the last time, so I went back to reconcile with my host family and the 2 girls I had staying in my home from the Swiss class. I went to Switzerland again this time with the scouts and had a good time despite my mishap as mensioned in the downs. Also joining Team Bud at Wigan winning the Best Improved Robot Award and Best Event of the year award, getting to see the crowning of the FW & HW UK Champion of this year which is a very rare thing to do for me and getting a phonecall from Jonno on Xmas Day telling me I had a Battle Rat, new Speedo and Transmitter on their ways (Still waiting for them ). But my best moment had to of course be, my 18th having Jonno, Swanny & Jamie from Team Terminal Damage over with some robots in one of my local towns which was really a night to remember not forgetting all my friends and relatives who came to it as well
Well, Beat that!
