'Tis The Season

     Well here we are again, Christmas time is in four days and with that it's time for self-reflection.  Last year I remember being in Chile and wanting nothing more than a white christmas.  This year I might not get my white Christmas but surprise of all surprises, my family came up from Chile!  I never really considered I could get the best of both worlds.  Well this year I can drive myself around which comes in handy when you have a job and friends and just want alone time.  Ginny (my car) is kind of like what my room used to be.  Also my brother's friends and my brother have come back from their first semester of college...it's weird. 
    Speaking of college, I've gotten in a couple of places and the more acceptances I get the more lost I become.  All I want for Christmas is to know where I want to go.  A lot of people either applied early decision or had a very clear first choice; needless to say I'm beyond jealous of them.  Who knew I'd be here, blogging and thinking about college and Christmas.  My Christmas list was pretty simple this year but very clear so it's easy to follow.  I want a couple new CDs, a couple new books, knee-high boots (I mean I am a typical teenage girl after all), and some nail polish.  But again, I'd switch all that for a clear choice of my future.  I'm a bit terrified of picking the wrong thing.  Also I always said I wanted to go somewhere where I don't know anyone but I never really took into consideration what that would do to my current friendships.  I'm scared my best friends won't be my best friends anymore.  I'm scared because I know that's basically inevitable.  Hopefully all works out.  I still have time to worry about it and at the same time I still have time to worry about nothing, being a second-semester senior and all.  Wow, me, a second-semester senior.  Things happen fast, and this Christmas break, as short as it may be, will be unforgettable, if for nothing else than the simple fact that this is the last Christmas before everything changes.  I want to go ice skating and I want to see my friends.  I want to see all my friends, so that I have at least one more memory with each of them before I go add more friends to my life. 

    So Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Survived-the-End-of-the-World, I hope you have an amazing end to 2012 and an even better 2013 (you know, the year I graduate high school)!
