Why Do Today..

what you really should of done about a week ago?

I am probably the ultimate procrastinator. As of right now I am celebrating the recent defeat of my AP English project. It is due tomorrow. And I totally just busted that thing out. And my reward for a good night full of work?
An even better night of sleep. If my head ever makes it to the pillow, that is.

Four days of school left and we are on Christmas break. It seems like just yesterday I was dreading preparing for my first day of junior year in that locker room rather than driving home after practice and going back to bed. I can't believe this first semester has sort of flown by. It's incredible. It's a little frightening as well. But I'm excited anyway. There's that little kind of satisfaction you get from drifting into the unknown. Teetering with the things you've never experienced. I guess school is good for something.

As of right now I am in a state of content. I am torn on the inside, however. There are a few things going on in my life that are making me really stop and think sometimes. Nothing life or death though. Nothing that needs intervention. No, no. Teenage thoughts that just sit in my mind, like birds on a wire - they just stop and stare.

I suppose I'll have more inspiration to write tomorrow. Maybe? Maybe not. Nobody knows quite yet.

All I know is that I'm very ready for the holidays to begin. I'm ready to be with my family. Be with my friends. Exchange the gifts, smiles, and do what we do every Christmas week. And then off to New Years Eve. Something that I also look foreword to. Something that stays in constant mystery. Constant anticipation. Something I expect, this year, will be the best out of all my last hours of the year to date.
