2008 was much better than 2009, and I'm determined to make 2010 better than 2009 for sure, but even better than 2008 as well. Last year I finished grade 9 which was great, but nothing really happened in the summer, I lost one of my best friends, a few family members and my mom's twin brother in Oman is sick so she was gone over Christmas to be in Oman. I didn't see any of my family last year either. The only bad thing about having European parents is that everyone lives so far away. I barely know my cousins.. some I have only seen twice in my life and it's not like I have tens of cousins. I only have 5.
Anyway, this year I want to knit a lot; maybe even a couple of sweaters since I'm really starting to get the hang of it. I want to read more books, take more photos and go more places... just over all live every moment better. I live in sort of a fantasy world where I see my friends and I going places and having picnics and taking photos in the woods and laying on the beach and that sort of thing, and this summer I'm going to try and make that happen. Also, last year I didn't have a birthday party. I'm going to see if I can take my friends somewhere for a few nights (camping or something). I want to make something for everyone's birthdays as well since last year I didn't exactly get everyone something, which isn't a big deal because they don't mind but this year I'll try to be consistent.
