Oh Christmas!

December is here. It almost seems as if the month came and jumped on my back to surprise me. I didn't even realize that December was coming so soon, and so much is going to happen this month!

First, I get to find out two college decisions this month. One from Fordham, and the other from CORNELL! I am so excited to find out these two decisions because Fordham seemed to show a lot of interest in me that they extended my application deadline over a week because I had not submitted it, and Cornell is my number one school. And as you may already now, if I get accepted to Cornell, then I am one hundred percent there because it is the school that I want to go to. AGH! So I don't want to think about it too much to only find myself disappointed, but I hope for the best! If I do get accepted to Cornell, I'll probably explode all over the place!!!

Second, CHRISTMAS is coming! I'm not one to be religious since praying never had a positive affect on me, but I really am one to participate in the gift giving! I just love to give surprises to everyone and each present has intense thought put into it so it's all special to me. I really do hope that I can make or find a good gift for everyone in the family! Oh and FRIENDS! What am I going to do for them? I know that I have one birthday/christmas present idea in mind for one of my best friends, and I have more ideas for others, but for some I just feel so clueless. It's going to be so much fun though! I just wish that some people realized how much love was put into gifts instead of ripping the wrapping and then throwing it all into a pile. Oh well.

Third, December is the end of 2007!!!!! YAY! I LOVE new years! They are just amazing. Even though I made my first "resolution" last year, and none of them came true, when a new year comes, I just feel refreshed. I don't know how to explain it, but a new "mood" comes over me...almost relaxed, but thanks to midterms that won't last long. Then again, this is my SENIOR YEAR!!! I am so happy because this particular change of new year means that in 2008, I will be changing from a senior in high school to an adventurous freshman at some amazing college. I'm so excited!!! So after that ball drops, I am only six months away from snatching up my diploma and seeing a new future!

Oh boy, so this month is going to mean a lot to me, and not like any other year before it. I hope that I can see the people I love, meet new people, like I did last year, make new friendships that I hope will last for a long and healthy time, and I will be one happy camper. Seriously. How many times in our lives are we given these drastic opportunities to change who we are and explore new horizons? I have been waiting for this for over ten years when I used to watch my mom teach college classes, and I still see this year as something amazing and absolutely exciting. How else should anyone spend their life? Experience something new!

Anyways, I hope everyone has a wonderful start to December! I know mine hasn't been what I wished, but I can close my eyes and dream some good ideas of things to do!
