New Year Eve and my family and I were just doing our daily things: sleeping in, doing house work, playing, or watching TV. This day went very slow and I was very happy because I love having a break, but I miss talking to my friends on a daily basis. Around 11:30 my parents called me and my brother up from down stairs to watch the ball drop down and begin a new year, but this year was very different from all the other years. Normally my family has friends over, but we spent it alone. I was thinking we are suppose to be having fun and being with our friends and having a bunch of good clean fun. It’s New Years and ten minutes after we went right to bed. This was totally weird. I was always spending this time with close friends and staying up until 3 o’clock or 4 o’clock. I was not happy to start the New Year off like this but Happy that there is A New Year ahead of us. So I went to sleep and woke up and got all nervous because I had basketball practice at 10 o’clock in the morning and it was ten forty-five. I took my phone about to call my coach and saw it was Friday. I have practice on Saturday. I was so glad I did not miss practice I went right back to my bed and listened to some music. I later woke up at eleven forty-five and started my New Years off by eating a big bowl of cereal.
