Welcome back to post-holiday life, Persephoneers! And welcome to the Year We’re Not Bored, two thousand and twelve!
Today’s Lunchtime Poll is all about new beginnings. More specifically: even though the year is yet young, there might be a few big things coming up in the course of the next 12 months that you already know are happening. What do you know is yet to come this year?
For me: the big one is that I’m getting married! I’m also ecstatically stoked to see the new things that’ll happen this year here at Persephone.

I have no idea what will happen in 2012, but I am just excited for the possibilities. 2011 sucked (earthquake, Mr Cesy’s brother dying) so I can’t help but be positive for what 2012 will bring. Â Bring it on!
I’ve had a similar attitude, and so far things are looking up.
I’m taking the next step of the Foreign Service Officer testing process (the oral assessment) next month!
zomg! Good luck!
well, my lease is up in june so i’ve got to find another place to live. Â might think about a job change later on this year, too. Â i SHOULD take the GRE at some point if i intend to go to grad school in the sort of near future.
sigh. stress.
on a happier note, my guy who lives quite a ways away is coming to visit for a bit this month and also later this year. Â whew!
Man Visits! Always a bonus.
Best of luck with the move/decisions/GRE stresses. Moving on up!
I’m excited to take a year off from school to teach and figure out what kind of doctor I want to be. Â I need the break, so I can’t wait for June to get here.
That’s really exciting! Good luck!
I am graduating with my masters in May, hopefully getting a real people job, and even more hopefully moving somewhere that is not this place for said real people job. I will probably get engaged, too, but I am making sure that 2012 is a whole lot better than last year.
Your user name is accurate.
Yay! Wedding!
As for me, we’ll hopefully be having a cross country move as my husband’s department was “let go” just before New Year’s. I am looking at the opportunity as a new beginning, though. We’ve been watching to move to the San Francisco area for a while, but safe, cushy jobs kept us where we are. We’re in a better place than a lot of people who get laid off, I’m in a better emotional state than I was a year ago, and, really, this is just allowing us to do what we’ve been too scared to do before. Also, I’m turning 30 in July, so it’s a great year for great things!
Westward, Ho!
Greetings from the Bay!
I think, whenever we move out there and get settled (like how I’m speaking in ‘whens’ not ‘ifs’?), there should be a Persephone Meetup!
KymG (who is around here somewhere) is also a Bay Gal. Hip-hip!
I’m graduating from university in June! I’m excited but scared because I have no idea what to do after I’m done classes.
Congratulations and good luck!
I’m getting married as well!!! And going to Oregon to finally visit my best friend and her fella. That’s all I’ve got so far, but my really looking forward to both events.
Yay, left coast! Yay, wedding!
I look forward to teaching a college class for the very first time. I am a bit intimidated, as I am a young’n and I will probably be teaching people the same age as me, but I am working through that by developing an awesome professional wardrobe and telling myself I’m at the front of the classroom because of my education, not my age.
That is so exciting! I taught my first college course at 22, and it worked because I didn’t take any shit and I knew what I was talking about. You’ll do great!
