Hello Everyone.

At the New Years Party this year I took a few minutes to reflect on my year and how much things had changed. This was accented by just looking around the room, which was filled with people I had met no more than 6 months ago, some of whom I had just met that night. It brought some feelings of regret and longing, but they were swiftly replaced with feelings of comfort and belonging. I had met some really nice people, and done some really cool things this year at school.

I did end the evening on something of an awkward note, however. I was reminded of how I am slightly older than my new found peers, which means when I leave for University at the end of next semester I will be leaving many of them behind. This thought has stayed with me these past few days like a bad taste in my mouth, and I hope to shake it off soon. Its just sad to know that I will be leaving this people almost as quickly as I met them.

Oh well, to another year of adventure. And thanks, to all of you, for being there for me.

I've been pretty good. Busy with dance and work, and hating school.

How about you?

I've also been pretty good. I've really been enjoying school, and I'm a little sad that I will be leaving it in about 2 weeks. I was really busy at work for a few weeks, with the Christmas rush and all, but now that the holidays are over I only get about 9 hours a week :)

Why have you been hating school?

That's great you've been enjoying school. Seems like the perfect program for you. I think I hate school because it's not interesting me anymore. I'm ready to move on, and sort of regret staying behind. But I did not feel ready at all last year...

Christmas break is over, which means I go back to work. It gets busier for me. I saw you at work one day, and I looked away and then you were gone. It was around Christmas, you were probably running around doing your job!

Well, enjoy the rest of your semester.

It is almost the perfect program for me. I don't like most of the kids in the class, and there isn't much time for me to learn anything new (it's mostly building things off of my previous experience). But, I too regret staying an extra year. I really wish I had just left to University last year.

Where are you working now? Is it the same place as before (I thought they had let you go)?

Hmm, I didn't see you. However, I was really busy during Christmas, so I probably missed a lot of people.

I will. I need to complete a website and finish one of my larger programs, but it should be fine. I hope you enjoy yourself.
