New Year

Honestly this year was filled with both good and bad, on one hand I'm glad to see it go but on the other I am not.  Lets start with the good things.  Turned 16 and got my drivers license, put on 2 really good shows with my friends/family in the theatre department, went to my first Warped Tour with one of my best friends Cameron and to this day that remains one of the best experiences of my life, there's just something about being in the crowd and seeing those bands in real life and feeling the energy (Already have tickets for 2015), Started working in the maze at Cherry Crest Adventure Farm, got to spend a week in England with some really great people, and I received a full ride scholarship to study here in France, something I wouldn't have been able to do without a scholarship so thanks again to Jenny and Mike.  I have a wonderful host family and friends here and all is going well.  The bad, because as The Doctor says  "The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. Hey. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant." This year I lost a very good friend, Dan, he will forever remain in my heart and the hearts of everyone who knew him.  He was the kind of person who literally had no hate in him, he just had love for anyone and everyone, he was the kind of person who I want to be.  After years of discord my parents finally split up which was hard for me to deal with, I also lost my Grandfather while I've been here in France which sucks majorly. So yeah, the good, the bad and the ugly, Even though I have left many people at home I feel that this year apart will only reveal who my true friends are, I miss them yes, but I know that I am going to be home in just 6 short months.  Happy New Year to everyone, peace and goodwill to all.
