well fortunately enough, december has been a tiny bit better. ok, not really, but i'm incredibly relieved because today i sent out all of my college applications. needless to say, i was ecstatic, and more relieved then i've ever been before. i never fathomed that they would be quite so easy, but they really are. so now that i have that out of the way, there's a lot less to worry about. otherwise, things haven't been going so fantastically, but i have hope for the holidays, and even more hope for the new year. i think that's why new year's is my favorite holiday. because it's a new year, it's a new place to start. hopefully this new year i won't be too disappointed. i hope everyone is doing well.
