In my 24th year of life I've done many things that I never thought I'd do. I went to London alone for Frank Turner's concert, which accounted both for travelling alone and going to a concert alone. It really allowed me to see everything under a new shade. I also went on holidays alone to Budapest in what is probably one of the craziest last-moment trips I've ever had. There I found out that I can actually make friends pretty easily and that you don't need to know someone to party with them. I also found out that I felt more comfortable while surrounded of people who spoke English than when they were Spanish speakers. I went to a music festival for the first time (past time) and discovered lots of new music realizing that you don't actually need to listen to the whole discography of a band to see them live.
Regarding my "work" life I keep on with my path to the PhD and every time my thesis seems more complex, but also more fascinating. I got to present a poster at a congress this July and it was one of the more exciting experiences of my life. I don't think I've ever learned as much in my whole life. Going there and walking around taking notes, making mental connections, it was awesome, and more than that was being in front of the poster with people asking you stuff and feeling that your work is worth something.
And finally, and maybe the most exciting news of all is that I moved out of my parents house and became roomates with one of my oldest friends. It's weird how much moving out can change the relationship with your parents, I mean I never had big fights with them but sometimes I just couldn't stand them, and now they see me as a real grown up. It's one of the best feelings in my life.
Well, I guess that's it. So little for such a busy year.
