The Best & Worst of 2010??

So a friend asked me the other day, what was the best thing and worst thing that happened to me in 2010?

They are fairly obvious, right? You know me, I cant just list one...

Best things:
Going back to school
R&R
Making some awesome friends
Learning how to be independent again

Worst things:
DEPLOYMENT
A year away from my best friend
My 1st surgery, scaring the crap out of quite a few people, one in Iraq
Learning how to be independent again

So Everyone, list ONE word to describe 2010!!

And PLEASE scroll down a little bit and take the small poll on the right side of my blog. Thanks!
