New Years Day

Happy New Year! That's what everyone's saying, you walk outside into the heat of a hot, muggy, Australian summer day and you're bombarded by the sounds of a million cicadas wishing you a happy new year.

A year has come and gone and I'm just amazed, I just can't seem to wrap my head around it all. It seems really short but sometimes looking at it you realise that it wasn't short at all. The thing I have trouble getting my head around is the fact that it's only been one year that has just past. So much happened last year that I kept thinking at least 2 or 3 years past. It's just... really weird.

All and all it wasn't too bad of a year. I turned 16, got an amazing girlfriend, lost my amazing girlfriend but still remain best friends with her so that's not bad at all. Got my learners, became better friends with my friends, got to know my God better, which is totally true. Finished year 11, self-published my very first book, wrote another one that I plan on self-publishing this year. Went to my first concert (Bon Jovi you rock!), and made some great new friends. (This is not in the order that it happened, I couldn't be bothered writing it in chronological order.)

And it's day one of a brand new year and already I see it as being a busy year. I have year 12 to complete, 6 months to finish writing my new book and edit it until gleams with correct SPaG, about 70 or so hours to clock up in driving, and I'm quite sure that a great many unforeseen things will happen before this year is out. Some of it will be great and some of it will be sad I'm sure, there is not much way of knowing. But I enter this year gladly.

I wish you all out there a great year!

-Peter.
