Happy New Year, everyone! I hope 2012 has been full of the brightest blessings, and that 2013 holds even more!
In a brief reflection on 2012, here are some of the biggest events of my year:

• Received a medal for my performance in my school's Group Interpretive rendition of The NeverEnding Story.
• Played a Jet girl in our spring musical, West Side Story.
• Went to New York to see Niagara Falls.
• Designed and constructed the local choral society's parade float for our town's annual Summer Celebration (and won first place for float design!).
• Visited for the first time Styx and Stonez, our local metaphysical shop.
• Got my first job, working at the library.
• Played an eccentric author in my school's fall play, Break a Leg.
• Got the part of Montparnasse in our musical to be performed next April - Les Miserables!
• Got my first-ever metaphysical books that are mine to keep and I don't have to return to the library - Witches Datebook 2013 and Encyclopedia of Spirits. 

Once again, a very happy New Year to you and yours. 

あけましておめでとうございます.
