Thought this picture was cute, which one are you?

Well, Christmas break is over, it's back to school again tomorrow. Back to early mornings, teachers, binders and homework. And to tell you the truth, I'm kinda bummed out about it. This next month of January is exam and summative month, which equals stress and lots of work. Also, I really like having the whole day to just relax and have fun with family and friends. Though I knew these two weeks would soon come to an end.

It's interesting though, I'm really looking forward to February. That's when semester two begins. That means new classes with new people and new teachers. It's almost like a new school year, a new start. February is also the month of my birthday, my 16th birthday! So even though I don't look forward to January, I have to just take it as it comes in order for February to come.

So right now, I just ask God to help me. For Him to help me to be more happy and thankful for school and everything that comes with it. And to help me stick to my new year's resolutions. Especially the ones about not procrastinating, and living a bold courageous life for Him. ♥

Heigh ho, heigh ho, it's back to school I go ...

2012

it's a new year. another chapter in the book of life. a chance to change things. the future. it's many things. and i'm looking forward to it. looking forward to what adventures i'll experience. the places i'll go, the things i'll see. all the fun memories to be made. the giggles and laughs and smiles i'll share. the journeys that are in store for me. everything.

but before the clock strikes midnight, i still have some time. time to think about this past year. the milestones i've passed. the things i've achieved. how far i've come. i can also think about my plans for the new year. resolutions and such. so here's a list of some things i'd like to work on/do in the new year:

• read my bible more often and spend more time with God
• go on a big trip somewhere super duper fantastic
• not procrastinate as much with my homework and other things
• maybe get a small job to make some extra spending money
  
• post more often, ideally at least once a week
• spend my time more productively and wisely
• learn to not be afraid to take risks and chances
• keep on writing and loving it
  
• live a courageous and bold life for God

What are your goals for the new year?

Happy New Year Everyone!

Out with the Old, and In with the New!

Notice anything different? Yup! I got a new header and button! I've been wanting a new look for a while now, and then I received a lovely comment from Kelsey over at The Flip-Flop Farmgirl. She wanted to start a design blog, and needed some blogs for her portfolio. She asked if I would consider having her do a blog makeover for me! I thought about it, and agreed! Working with Kelsey has been great! And look at her work!

New header and new button, but still the same girl who loves to write, and a bunch more great posts in store for you all! Also, if you have my button on your blog, please feel free to grab my new one! So what do you think of the new look? Please comment with your thoughts! ☺
