Passing my driving test back in April was a positive I guess, despite taking much longer than I would have liked. I haven't actually driven a car since that day but that is purely because I don't see the point in paying for the insurance for something I don't actually need yet.
Finally left school back in June too which I personally saw as a positive. A-level results were just below what I had said I would have liked so I did beat myself up a little bit, but I did best in the subject that I cared about most which, after the goings-on from January to July in the first year, didn't seem possible.
The extended summer also meant that I was able to take advantage of my bus pass being valid until the end of July, so took advantage of it and had a few days out on my own which was actually really nice. Far better than just being stuck in the house all day which from then until now has been the case.
The only negative point that is worth mentioning here is that, 6 months after departing the education system, I still haven't got myself into anything permanent. I can easily turn it into a positive in the sense that I am able to carry out some of the regular tasks around the house, but that isn't a strong cure for the boredom of just been stuck in a house all day. I suppose it makes for an easy New Years Resolution, and one that I should actually be able to stick to for once in my life!
As a point relating to this forum, I've noticed that I've been contributing a lot less this past year, mainly reporting rare & odd workings that I've seen out and about. I don't particularly know why that is, but is a trend that I can only see continuing.
