2006 is currently the worst year on record, although it is speculated that there were probably worse years in the past. For example, 2001 or 2002 might have been worse, but this is not for definite. 2006 contained a lot of stress - mostly family related. But it also contained some really amazing days and events, which impacted the rest of my life. This included the decision of what degree to get, the visit to Finland, and many good impressions of how life could be (dispersed throughout the whole year).
