Happy New Year!

It seems like 2007 blew by so quickly! I guess that just means that I had a good year, 'cause you know what they say: time flies when you're having fun! School is going really well. I just completed a block-long independent project on Greg Mortenson and the Central Asia Institute, which builds and funds schools for boys and girls in remote sections of Afghanistan and Pakistan. With the help of my whole school, I ran a fundraiser that raised $483 for the Institute. It was a completely gratifying experience, and I feel so greatful for my education at Avalon.

In other news, it looks like my uncle is going to sell one of his horses, Reddy, who I love to death. It's going to be sad, but he's probably going to buy another horse- one that I can jump on and ride whenever I'm up at the Farm.

I celebrated my fourteenth birthday on the twenty-first of December, and it was really awesome. Complete with an advisory breakfast, a movie, and watching my teachers dance to Soulja Boy as part of the all-school talent show! Pretty funny!

Here's wishing you and everyone a super fantabulistic new year, with the hope that 2008 is your best year yet!
