I found this on an old blog and thought it would be interesting to do this again…

1. TEN YEARS AGO (2002)
I was finishing my last year of high school. Yes, I just totally gave away how old I am. HA!

2. FIVE YEARS AGO (2007)
I was partying – a lot! Four days a week with no intention of slowing down. I had just ended my relationship with my first love. Travelled a lot interstate… to party.

3. ONE YEAR AGO (2011)
Living in Melbourne and had just flown back from Sydney after three weeks of bliss for Christmas and New Years on the East Coast. Working at the famous Children’s Hospital and absolutely loving it. By far the best job I had ever had.

4. YESTERDAY (FRIDAY, JANUARY 13TH, 2012)
Black Friday. Last day of the working week. Stayed over my dude’s house, worked and then got my haircut. Despite everyone saying that Friday the 13th is a “bad luck” day, I had a rather great day.

5. TODAY (SATURDAY, JANUARY 14TH, 2012)
