today is my birthday!

sorry for the lack of consistent updates. my internet has been out!

life updates:
1) My Christmas was absolutely fabulous. A bunch of family came over, and I got the iHome that I've wanted forever :)
2) I got my drivers license the day after Christmas! I can finally drive places! The proctor was really, really grumpy and it made me quite nervous, but I somehow managed to pass anyway. Parallel parking is nervewracking!
3) My college applications are almost done. Just one more, plus a scholarship essay. I see the light at the end of the tunnel!
4) It's 2010, which is my graduation year! I feel like, for my whole life, 2010 seemed so far away. All the graduating seniors were "class of '02" or '03, or '04. "10" seemed like forever away, but here it is already!
5) I'm 17 today!

How was everyone's holiday break?
