Hi kids!
How is going the new year?

I've just come back from Bilbao. I went to see The Darkness live. The gig was awesome and I had a great time with my friends. Such a nice way to start 2016. Although not everything is fun, since Alan Rickman's death made me sad. I've been a Rickmanist for at least fifteen years, and I'll miss him deeply. Now back to the books and the library life.
But before, let's look back and review 2015. 

 Bullet; Black Bullet; Purple Bullet; White END OF THE YEAR SURVEY - 2015 EDITION  Bullet; White Bullet; Purple Bullet; Black 

1. What did you do in 2015 that you'd never done before? I wrote a TFM (research paper), I got a master degree, I taught history in high school, I got my dog Orión, and I tested two board games. 

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? For 2015 I want to keep working in my musical and photography skills. To give my best in my master and TFM. And to write down the set of topics for my public examination once and for all. Point Right I believe I did and gave my best in my master and TFM, and I've been working in my photography and archivist stuff. Not so much in my musical skills. For 2016 I want to write down the set of topics for my public examination once and for all, and to keep exploring my photography.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth? No.  

4. Did anyone close to you die? My friend and former university teacher Jesús Liz, and my grandma. Both deaths deeply sadden me. 

5. What countries did you visit? No abroad journeys this year.

6. What would you like to have in 2016 that you lacked in 2015? More discipline. 

7. What date from 2015 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? Trip to Asturias, Burgos' fiestas, ACNIL's pirate convention, enjoying LUL in León with friends, Tanabata, testing Puzlone and Ludi Gladiatorii... They were all fun. Also the day I had to stand up for my TFM. It was nice to remember I am capable of great things.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Working hard in my master, and at last starting to work properly in my archivist stuff.

9. What was your biggest failure? Still fighting with apathy. 

10. Did you suffer illness or injury? No.

11. What was the best thing you bought? My Sushi Go!, the Starfighter Ecplipse Visual Norvel and lots of make up (Naked 2 by Urban Decay and Chrisalys by Kat Von D eyeshadow palettes, Studded Kiss in A Go-Go, Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Lolita, Sephora Lipgloss in Pretty in Pinky, and Rouge infusion in Petal by Sephora).
 
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration? Tom Hiddleston's.

13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed? I got angry about someone's creepy and desperate behavior but not appalled, nor depressed. It's more like the struggle between punish the evil myself or let it go, because people like that deserve nothing.

14. Where did most of your money go? Make up, books.
 
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? My dog Orión.
