New Year

Hey Molly! I'm sorry it took me so long to post anything. I felt like I should mention Christmas and New Year, but I felt kind of horrible about it; I didn't want to lie and say "fine" like usual. So if you don't mind, I think I'll be honest.

I had a rather unhappy Christmas. I hurt my knee during my gym midterm exam so it was causing me pain during break. At the same time, my father was in the hospital. Also, it didn't snow for Christmas. =(
It was pretty much the worst Christmas of my life. We went to visit my father at the hospital; he was in the crisis ward because (I recently found out) he's manic-depressive and was in a manic stage. It was horrible. I don't know if you know anything about that mental disorder but it drastically changed my dad. It scared me how different he was (and still is to a certain extent.) My mother, sister and I had Christmas lunch at the hospital and then went home and didn't do much. Then, when we went to Church for the 7 o'clock mass, it was closed. I was so sad that night. I think it's the first Christmas that I've cried.

I had a much better New Years. I went to a sleepover and had fun. =) I just really wish it would snow by now. I'm ready for it.
Anyway, I'm sorry for dumping all that on you. You're just always so wonderfully nice (I love that about you). I hope this didn't make you sad. I just had to talk about it to someone.

Thanks for doing this blog with me. I hope you had a great 2011 and have an even better 2012! How was your Christmas and New Years? I hope they were good (I can live vicariously through you. ;) How's school going? Did you have your exams yet?

With hope for a great January,
Karina <3
