december...

It's true. Everyone has said that time flies, but I didn't really realize what they meant until the last few years. Last year specifically, I remember the beginning of the year, and then the end of the year. Just like that. I don't really even remember Halloween, Thanksgiving break, or Christmas break. All that's in my mind is how fast it all seemed to go.
I guess it's because I've more things that I've been doing. I used to not be in marching band, until last year. Or maybe it's because I've entered middle school. I don't know. It just seems like it has gone a lot quicker.
It still seems like the beginning of the school year, just getting started in everything. But it's already December. It's the second week of Advent, two and a half weeks until Christmas. I still have to buy/make gifts for everyone on my list! I thought it was still October!
About a week ago, I purchased an mp3 player online, not really thinking about how close to Christmas it is, and that I was demolishing a gift idea for my parents. I just made it that much harder for their shopping. (and if you're reading this, Mum, I'd like to say that I don't really want much) I got that mp3 player just this past Friday, a week after I purchased it. I love it!


I would like a puppy...it is December...
