Chapter 2012

Hello everybody. I do hope you all had a fantastic festive season, Merry Christmas, Happy New Years and whatnot. I am officially back in the swing of things in terms of my blogging, so you should be expecting a new post much more frequently from now on, but perhaps not every single day, but you know what? It would be great if  you dropped by every once in a while to check on things. If I don't post, it's because I have been lost in the sea of all the design homework that I have due on the first way of school, and I do apologise. I really can't bear to think about Design right now, so let's move on.

Boys and girls, the future is now. This is it. 2012.

Wow.

2012 is going to be a hugely important year in my life, probably one of the most important in the greater scheme of things. It's the first year without Harry Potter, my last year of high school, my last year as a child (according to law), my last year living at home (assuming I get into one of my desired universities), my last year with many of the kids I go to school with, many of whom I love dearly, my last year with my Design class, maybe even my last full year in South Africa for quite a while if all goes to plan (there are many variations of the plan, some involve leaving if I can, you know how it is) and, of course, come 21 December, we might all just, y'know... Kaput.

It seems as though this year marks the end of many things. Many things which I will miss so much more than I can imagine right now, things which I truly love with all my heart. Things which- Ah screw it, good riddance bitches!

Just joking.

This year is also going to be the best year of my life, so far! I am determined to make sure of that! No more childish drama that the previous years have brought with them. No, no more immature cat fights. This year, I will make it my mission to make my fights worthwhile, kick ass and take names! Bitch slaps heard around the world and all that grownup stuff!

Just joking.

Okay, I'm really messing up this whole "What I'm Hoping For in 2012" entry, so I'm just going to do this:

I am experienced enough to know that one can in no way plan exactly what is going to happen in the year ahead, and that things very rarely go according to plan. I am young enough to still hope for perfection. And I am hoping that I am grown up enough to be able to see perfection in imperfect situations.

Friends, there are 366 days in 2012, which means you have one extra day. Make it count.
