Well.

It’s mid-December, so that means the holidays are here and the New Year is coming! I’ve already missed a couple months, but I shouldn’t miss December 2010, right? After all, 2010 will be my last year being a juvenile (on paper).

So basically, the feeling is both nervous and exciting. Exciting, because senior year is going to end fast (I get to leave Northwest, and the imbeciles that go there), I got accepted into a college (University of Maryland, Baltimore County! The possibility of me going to Montgomery College is pretty much eliminated! Not hating on MC, just hating on living at home -_-), and a multitude of other good things. Nervous, well, because senior year is going to end fast (I’m going to leave my friends, my childhood is ending, the mundane life I’ve gotten used to for almost 14 years is going to change), I got accepted into ONE college (what about the others? What about GW?), and a multitude of other not-so-good things.

People questioned why I feel like it’s a bit scary that I’m going to graduate, and essentially become an adult. Well, I question why they DON’T feel that way. Sure, I’m looking forward to the freedom, additional rights, and other fun things about being an adult, but I’m going out into the world on my own now. Realistically speaking, there will be more worries in the future, making the problems we had as children pale in comparison. How do mortgages work? What exactly is a 401k? How do we do taxes?! And money. Money? How am I going to pay for myself?

Anyway, this post is not dedicated to this. So now…

This one won’t be as detailed as this one, because I honestly can’t recall any notable events. Does KAT-TUN count as a notable event? Because I think about them every single day.

Come to think of it, I began the year with KAT-TUN. (I’ve told this story multiple times, so I’ll tell the abridged version just for you.) I discovered them in January, and was reluctant to like them at first (because after all, they’re a Japanese boy band. They used to wear “flamboyant” costumes, to say the least. And they’re a boy band!). But after I watched Cartoon KAT-TUN, I fell in love. And I have been a dedicated fan ever since. And I’m convinced that Taguchi Junnosuke and I would make the most epic couple in history. I MEAN WHAT?

I passed my AP exams with 4s and 5s!

Senior year began in August, and I have to say, it’s been great. The feeling of superiority is priceless and almost indescribable. Seeing as I’m not the biggest and tallest person around, it’s nice to be able to wear a blue shirt during pep rally days just to let people know how much better I am than them. I got mistaken for a freshman the other day, embarrassingly enough, but that’s neither here nor there.

I’m cramming all my high school experiences this year, as you can tell from my previous post, so I won’t elaborate on it here. Instead of going to prom as a junior, I went to anti-prom, and it was probably just as good. But this year, 2011, I will go to prom. Definitely.

Um, I won a raffle for the first time, thanks to my love for KAT-TUN. (Still can’t get over that.)

I also got a new iPod! We’re attached at the hip (err…never mind. We’re just attached.) I’m so overwhelmed by the features it has. I don’t think I’ve used all the functionalities.

Senior year hasn’t been all good. I’ve fallen into a slump twice, but I have since improved my attitude. Some of my classes were just a touch too much (*cough* AP US History *cough*), but I’m learning to deal with it. You can’t have it all…

MADLY IN LOVE WITH CHANGE UR WORLD.

Junno’s birthday is also a notable event (NOTEable. No pun intended. My first self-created Tumblr post with lots of notes.)

And now we’re here. The holidays. I make reindeer candy canes every year, but this  was the first year I felt a little…weird making them. I was taken aback by the fact that I even feel this way. I feel like I’m getting kind of old to make something as childish as that. But I figure, it’s my last Christmas as a minor, last Christmas in high school, I should make it worth it.

Wow, this was a long post. To make up for the two months I lost. Sorry it’s a bit scatterbrained, and not as organized as my 2008 year in review, and sorry it’s so laden with KAT-TUN, but I’m churning this out on a nice Sunday morning just for you. Thanks for reading! Happy Holidays! Happy New Year!!!
