New Years

Can't believe how fast the years fly by. Seems like only a month ago I started Gr11, now Gr12 is looming on the horizon! The last year of school...

As exciting as it is nearly being finished with school and so on, it's also kind of scary. Scary 'cause we're about to be thrown out of our safety nets into the big bad world to fend for ourselves and realise that all those fairy-tale dreams we held so dear in our childhood are a lot harder to achieve than we ever dreamed possible.

We've got to decide what we want to do with our lives. Decisions, decisions! What to study, where to study, wether to study further. How are we going to pay our bills? Like a game of "The Sims" where your family moves in and then realises that to have money, you have to work for it. Work- imagine that. Call me spoilt but the notion of working in a job that requires no qualifications and is of minimum pay is scary...

Yep, it's a scary world out there, and boy do we realise that when we start nearing the end of our school careers. We've got to earn our keep, and give up on little luxuries- for a while anyway.

Let's just hope we are all successful in whatever we choose to do and that we all study hard this year and do the best we can :) Here's to 2005!!
