Writer's Block: It was a very good year

Ooh, tough. I tend to look back on the past with rose-tinted glasses, so it's a bit hard for me to say...
What comes to mind for me is, in terms of academic years, my junior year. That was the year I was most productive in school and, I think, most happy.
Now, I complained dreadfully during my senior year, but it was also the year of my highest achievement (too bad senior GPA doesn't count for college), and it was also the year I got to spend a month in Europe, which I consider one of the traveling highlights of my life so far. I also ended up doing quite a bit of writing my senior year--well, okay, a forty-something page novella that was abandoned somewhere along the editing process is not "quite a bit," but it was substantially more than I'd done the rest of my high school years--and any year I manage to accomplish more than ten pages of writing and sustain interest for at least several months on a single story I view as a good year. ;)
