- Actually go through the process of fully editing a novel. I know this has been on my List Of Things To Do for a while, but this time, I want to make it happen.
- Get a job, at least for the summer. Even if the job is only to knit a lot of scarves and hats for when everyone wants Winter Holiday Gifts.
- WRITE MORE. That is all.

The Year Ahead
I know it's only been nine hours since my birthday ended, but I guess it's time to do a Post On What I Want To Accomplish Next Year.

I already feel old...
Ways to start a birthday that are surprisingly entertaining:
1. getting a pop-rock rendition of "happy birthday" blasted at 12:00 AM by one's roommate.
Ways to start a birthday that can give one temporary heart failure:
1. getting a pop-rock rendition of "happy birthday" blasted at 12:00 AM by one's roommate.
Yes, friends, this is how my birthday started, in panic and confusion (which readily cleared up, but still). The weather decided to go up to around 90 degrees today, which is disconcerting when you realize that the temperature at this time last week was about half that number. Also, when you realize that it's April.
Anyway, though, it's very nice to be able to wear shorts on my birthday.
I may or may not be posting later; if I do, I'll see you then.

the final hours
Well, my birthday is tomorrow, and I don't know how I feel about it.
When I was a kid, I was super excited for birthdays. I would refer to myself as 'eight' in my head when I still had a week left of being seven. As I got older, the process slowed down, and eventually reversed a bit - it took me a while to start saying I was eighteen, not seventeen (I think this was partially because I had expected a lot out of my seventeenth year; after all, seventeen, thirteen, and fifteen are three major ages for main characters in YA novels). And now that I'm soon going to be another year older and another year wiser, I don't know what to do. THIS IS WEIRD. SOMEBODY HELP.
The big things that have happened this past year have included:

- knitting a prom dress
- graduating from high school
- getting a job
- hiking Philmont Scout Ranch (yes, females can do that! SCORE!)
- going to college
- meeting a crap-ton of awesome people
- staying up past 2:00 AM
- staying up past 2:00 multiple times
- finished writing a novel! (at 12:17 AM)
- getting into Doctor Who, Stargate, and a bunch of other things that have made me even more of a nerd (not that I really mind).
