Happy New Year!

I had a pretty low key New Year this year. I honestly can’t remember the last time I didn’t go to a party on New Year’s Eve, but this year was a little different. I rang in 2010 with my mom and dad. It was pretty boring but nice in a way. I laid around in my sweats and just had a lazy night. We watched Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve in Times Square while eating very good food. I can’t say that I’m sad to see 2009 go. Drama is probably the thing I hate the most and I had no shortage of it in 2009. When you spend nine years with the same group of one hundred kids, tension builds and drama happens. There were some very good times, though, especially at the end of eighth grade. Our class trip to Cedar Point, Graduation and the after party, and even just the excitement of graduating and moving on to high school all made 2009 a year to remember. However, I‘m ready for a fresh start in 2010. Over spring break, I’m turning fifteen and going to Disney World. Disney World in Orlando is my absolute favorite place in the universe. I’ve been there many times before and have wanted to go there for a while, but never worked out with scheduling. I‘m also super excited for the summer Global Ed. trip to Berlin, Prague, and the Swiss Alps. It should be a blast and a wonderful way for me to meet new people. That is exactly what I plan on doing this year. I love my friends, but I want to meet some new people. I love learning about new people and their culture if it is any different from mine. 2010 should be a great year.
