hello 2012

and good bye world. or maybe i should wait and say that until december. it's hard to believe that everything has gone by so fast. but perhaps that's because of pressure and stress. my life has been one big ball of crazy lately. how much i wish i could just continue on with christmas vacation with staying up late and sleeping in. but december has passed and the school was cruel enough to make us come back on the monday after new year.

during new years i didn't really have time to think back on anything that happened during 2011. my eve was filled with apples to apples, nerf guns, surprise attacks, cards, and candy. while my day was filled with muffins, late christmas presents, more apples to apples, and homework that i procrastinated on. so now that i'm bored to death back in school i'm able to remember all the things 2011 brought me.

aida. passing my senior project. a very potter musical. a cardboard goat named sir reginald remington the fourth. a cardboard grave stone with the words "ass entering system" on the side. red wigs, rapture circles. two cedrics. a cho chang on crutches. members of the pit who doubled as actors. the best brownies i've ever eaten. coke. my best guy friend becoming my son. urinetown (it's a musical and it's not as gross as it sounds). mother roles squared. a frying pan. the last year of lit camp. doctor becky in the shakespeare garden. british accents. irish accents. ocean city maryland. duffy dancing. my best guy friend moving to ohio. four months of summer vacation. four months of little women. past costumes being reused. ap english. three english classes at once. being accepted to all the colleges i applied to. waltzing to harry potter in the middle of hershey park at night. finding a friend who dislikes roller coasters as much as i do. experimenting on canvas. and crazy antics with great friends.

there were a lot of good times in 2011 along with some sad times. but life moves on and 2012 has come to give people a fresh new start. it's going to be crazy being it my senior year and then going off to college in the fall. i just hope that i will get as many, if not more, great memories this year before the calender runs out and i get a christmas card saying:

"merry christmas and goodbye"
