THIS YEAR IN PICTURES :-D...makes me <3 life.
Yeah, I said I would finish apps first. I can't.
FIRST SENTENCES:
January: "Oooh.. maybe, maybe, maybe!!!" (wow. let me just clarify that the context was NYSSMA)
February: "ahh, I have so much to talk/write about... but I have so much homework, so I shall have to wait" (wow, wasn't I a good girl)
March: "yay, German trip tomorrow, so I don't have to do APUSH and can go to sleep now" (so much for that)
April: "those 5 hours sucked" (I'm so glad SATs are over forever)
May: "What Kind of Geek Are You?" (haha blogthings)
June: "BEST DVORAK TRIO performance that we did ever!" (It WAS)
July: "hm, so the museum was good (J.P. Morgan's Library-aka the Pierpont Morgan Museum)." (It was)
August: "So the playing yesterday was at a daycare that was specially structured for children with cerebal palsy." (omg. by far the closest to a "life-changing" experience ever.... aww)
September: "This is the 1st of September, what do you want to accomplish by the 31st?" (Friday Fives were thought-provoking)
October: "I rarely ever remember dreaming when I wake up every morning..." (But when I do, it's usually really memorable)
November: "Ahh, so things keep alternating between being all calm and happy and stressful and spazzy...:-/" (and I was just about to celebrate for not having the word "stress" appear yet. because I seem to have stressed less than I remember)
December: "Most Awkward Moment #2 of my life." (I'm getting strangely attached to Physics.)
