Well, first of all, since I haven't posted since November, I will just give a quick overview of Christmas, which was great. I started off the holiday with movie happenings. I think I've seen Frozen more times than any other new movie this year. It was freakin' adorable. Also, Hobbit party, since guess what?!?! Benedict Cumberbatch starred as Smaug. Then took the Middle School Math Praxis. Here's hoping I pass it. I'm still waiting on the scores. It was a very stressful test this month. I moved on to spend Christmas in Colorado. It was great. I just was a bit lazy. But I saw family, friends and just sorta took a nice breather. It was also nice, cause I got lots of clothes (which I needed, cause mine were wearing out and I work...). Also, Wesley called... and he's officially in Korea. Gosh, I miss him. It's weird that he's actually gone.... like I'm so used to just talking to him. And we are very close. He's doing well.

All right... Now my highlights of 2013!!! Here you are:
- Spring semester: it was a nice breather. Especially since I felt like I started off the semester kind of rough. Struggling with life as a special ed major... and wow... rough beginning month to 2013.
- Spring semester continued: It turned out very well... and one of my favorites.
- Turned 21... and went to a bar... and yeah. Being 21, it's crazy....
- Worked at Trefoil for my second year, Girl Scouts of Utah for my third year... and summer camps overall for who knows how long. SO MUCH FUN :D

- Both my missionaries came home!! My friend Scott (from Australia) and my cousin Tyler (from Sweden). That was so much fun to see them both again. Not to mention all the other boys I know that came home from missions around the same time.

- Moved into a new apartment, which was a bit big, seeing as I've spent the past 2 years with my aunt Mindi. I got to meet some new roommates, which was an adventure.
- Started another semester at USU, which turned out to be awesome!! I got a wonderful group of first graders to teach. And did pretty well in my classes. Felt very good about the semester.
- Got onto USU Big Band Swing Team, Swing Set. Which has been amazing. I love the team and we've all become fast friends. We should be performing the routine soonish.... We've almost got it down.
- Met some wonderful new people that I have grown to love. Tanner, Conner, Jen, Jon, Richard, Bri (we rekindled our friendship), and of course my roommates Ashley, Callie, Lindsey and Steph.

- .... ALMOST DONE, PROMISE..... Best highlight was seeing my little brother off on his mission. He's doing very well and we all miss him. I'm keeping up a blog for him if you wish to take a look at that: http://elderwesleybuckwalter.blogspot.com/
- All the fabulous shows and movies that came out. The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary, The Hobbit, Frozen, All the super hero movies, SHERLOCK IS COMING OUT TOMORROW!!! Watching shows with friends. Supernatural marathon is still happening.
Looking back on 2013, I had a great great year. It went by very fast. I'm really looking forward to 2014. I'm hoping it will go as good as this year. I'm looking forward to spending it with friends and family that I love. This semester will be tough, but I'm hoping to pull it off.
My 5 Resolutions this year: Exercise (be active, dance a bit more), Consistent Scripture Study, Better sleep schedule (like that will happen, I'm a student), Hopefully updating a blog once a month, Keeping in touch with my brother.
Happy New Years!!!!
