The Highlights

On the 4th of July, a huge scientific breakthrough was made. After 40 years of trying to create this particle to prove it's existence and function, it finally happened in Geneva. The Higgs Boson was momentarily recreated using CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. Basically the Higgs Boson is the particle that gives matter mass. Without mass the universe, including us, would not exist. Nicknaming the Higgs Boson 'The God particle' was a bit of a jibe at the religious folk... it was the God particle that created the world :P 

Katie Taylor winning gold at the Summer Olympics held in London this year. She was just amazing... don't get me wrong, the rest of the Olympic squad were great too... but Katie was just unforgettable!

Barack Obama won a second term in The White House... to be fair, America would have been the biggest laughing stock if they voted Mitt Romney (a fricking MORMON!) in as president. Voting for someone like that would be anything but progressive.

My personal highlight was finishing college... I'm a chemical & biopharmaceutical engineer bitches!

The Lowlights

Aurora.. the mind-boggling mass shooting in a cinema in America. In Aurora, Colorado, James Holmes opened fire at the opening night of The Dark Knight Rises killing 12 people and wounded 58 people.. it can be a really crazy world sometimes!

Sandy Hook Elementary school.. another crazy gunman shot up an American primary school killing even little  school kids!

My personal lowlight was the passing of my Dad, Alfie, on 3rd December.
