5...4...3...open sesame- Happy New Year!

Hmmm, I'm all done archiving and fiddling with things. I'm very proud of myself, but I'm way ahead of schedule. It's gonna be a long time until midnight now.

I didn't get my room cleaned. Well, there's always Spring Break. I suppose if I have to have a resolution, that would be it. I might add something about procrastination, but I think that's way too easily broken, and besides, that's not too big a crime. It's not always a bad lifestyle decision anyway- a lot of times it saves me a lot of bother. Don't ask me to name specific instances, just believe me.

I keep wishing our school years ran with the year, that way you could talk about the year as one great lump, rather than "Was that 92-93, or 93-94? Well, let's think, what did I get for Christmas that year?"

School starts on Thursday. Yeah, what a clever move, send us back for two days and then a week and then finals. In that amount of time I have to learn everything there is to know about Chemistry. Why can't we do like Ankeny and have finals before the hols?

I am so glad I'm not 13 anymore. I was just reading this chick's diary, and I said to myself "wow, is she ever spastic, what's with that?" It's funny to think that I thought I was incredibly mature when I was 13, and I think I'm incredibly mature now. I hesitate to think of my opinions of the current me in a few years.

It's been a pretty good year though, all in all.
