The rest is still unwritten
I looked in my journals for this, and here's my year:
January- The beginning of a new year. Dan and I hung out a lot during the month, and it was a bit of a typical January. I didn't write much about it in my journal. There are only three entries for the whole month.
February- This is when my year truly began. Florida was wonderful. Pete and I started talking while I was there, and that was something that surprised me. I liked him for a long time before this month, but I was always too shy to actually talk to him. You can bet I was happy when I could tell he liked me. We had a snow day, and he took me out to breakfast. That was a bit of a clue.
March- Pete was in Godspell, so I didn't see him much. I was starting to get confused on whether he liked me or not, and I began wondering about prom and all of that. It was a pretty fun month, but most of it was spend wondering if I'd lost my chance.
April- I had some people over while my parents and Nick were at MTU. We played hockey at Larson and hung out the rest of the day at my house. Pete asked me to prom the next day when he drove me home from school (my family was still at Tech, so I needed a ride home). This month he finally started holding my hand, took me on a date, and gave me (my first) kiss.
May- Pete asked me out. We also went to prom and had a great time. I made drum major, and I went to the Star Wars midnight showing. It was a fun month, and the grad parties started.
June- This month brought graduation, grad parties, my 16th birthday, drivers license, drum major camp, and the beginning of summer. Tepeeing was fun, but that night was a sad too. It made me realize that Pete would be leaving for college in around two months, and I got a taste of what it'd be like when he left for Massachusetts at the end of June.
July- The first week wasn't so great (thanks, Massachusetts), but the rest of it was great. Mom and I went to South Haven (a beach) for a weekend, but most of this month was spent on dates. Band started up, so I had that twice a week too. Pete took me canoeing and stuff, and we started drum major gifts and got ready for the season.
August- I started dreading when Pete would leave, but we still had fun until he did. Then it was really hard. I became so accustomed to seeing him almost every day that I still wasn't happy by the end of the month. I wondered if things would work.
September- Band competitions started up, and I was busy. Between band and starting my co-op, I was rarely ever home. That's really about it for this month. Hmm.
October- My parents let me go to Western homecoming weekend, and I met Pete's friends there. We finished regular competitions and all of that. This is when my life shifted into countdowns. Starting this month, I saw school and everything else as a time-passer until better things would come. It was very hard on me with stress and everything, but it was a pretty good month anyway.
November- We had States and went on the Indy trip. Both were fun. Then John and I surprised Pete by having me go to Western for a weekend. It was fun, and I didn't have to wait long before Pete came home for Thanksgiving break. School gave more homework starting right after band was over, so I guess I didn't get much of a break but it's all good.
December- We had orchestra and band concerts, and I picked up Nick and Pete from Western for their break. Overall, this month hasn't been at all what I hoped it would be, but that's fine. I didn't see Pete nearly as much as I would have liked, and I was very stressed and sleep deprived by the time school ended. Pete left the day break began, and I haven't done anything big since then. Christmas was all right and I love the iPod, but it didn't really feel much like Christmas. I'm starting to think about college and everything else, but I'll wait before I seriously think about it. I don't know what else this week has in store for me, but I don't really care. I'm back to countdowns.
Overall, this year has gone the fastest and been the best of all I've had. The good times have been amazing while the bad have been pretty low, but it's worth it for what causes it all. I've found someone that will last and who I love. Next year promises to be much like this year, but this time Pete will be with me through all of it. It looks like I have another great year to look forward to, but I still can't wait until I graduate. :P
