Winter Break!

Sometimes the best thing about school is when you don't have to go. Don't get me wrong, I love learning, but I feel like the education system as a whole is failing. Anyways, I'm on winter break now and I feel so free. I've finally completed driver's ed, and now I have no piano or school for two whole weeks. I feel as free as a bird. I really truly don't want to leave this house or my pj's until I'm forced back to school.

Seeing as it's December 20th, I just had the sudden realization that there's only 11 more days in 2014. Eleven. Wow. I'll do my master goodbye 2014 post on December 31st like I did last year, but to think that in twelve days it will be 2015 is just crazy. 2014 was definitely not my year, but in spite of all of the downs, I did manage to have a few ups. But I'm getting ahead of myself. You'll just have to wait until New Year's Eve to read about my 2014.

Another huge milestone is the fact that Christmas is in five days! Christmas feels a bit weird this year. My family's all over the place, I'm in this strange state, I don't get any of my traditions, and in general, I'm not that excited for it. I know it seems bad that I'm not excited for Christmas, but it's just so overwhelmingly different this year. It's the first year I'll have Christmas without my dad and older brother, I'm not home, and I have to do whatever everyone else wants me to do. It's just not the same.

But all of that aside, I am excited to see my little brother's reaction to his big Christmas present. I'm not going to say what it is, in case he somehow stumbles upon this post, but even I'm excited, and it's not for me at all. This year for Christmas, all I asked for was cash and candy canes because 1. I don't need anything, 2. I hate surprises, and 3. I really need money to save up for things, but I know that my family got me extra things, and it's driving me insane. I hate surprises. I just hate them. I want to know exactly what I'm getting, and I'd rather just get it now instead of having to look at the presents every single time I pass the tree for the past few weeks. I don't even know, I just hate surprises. Always have, always will.

I accidentally opened a new tab and found myself on Tumblr for the past twenty minutes and now I can't remember what else I was going to blog about. Oops. I guess I'll just end it here.
