16.

It is now the first day of the last month of the year. It's funny how slowly time seems to drag by until you look back and realize how quickly it passed. A lot has happened in the past eleven months; a lot has changed. I now find myself at the beginning of the last week of my teenage years and I can't help wondering what the coming year (and years) will bring. Despite the temptation such thoughts bring as far as daydreaming and sidetracking are concerned, I have to stay focused and successfully finish the tasks immediately at hand. December is always a good month and I feel that I will appreciate it more than ever before this year. As exhausted and tired as I feel, the knowledge that all the work and time I put into everything I do will pay off gives me the energy to get through it and I will have a time to reflect on it and prepare for next year in the coming weeks..
