Good luck with the surgery and speedy recovery, No 6!
It is the ski slopes & celebrations for us to start the New Year rolling, and some interesting new adventures look set to unfold in January - so our resolutions are to appreciate the journey and enjoy!

2016 is apparently going to be one second longer than 2015 was... The last minute will have 61 seconds!

Oooh - extra reading time!
'Father Time and His Pattern Book' is a great story to read on New Year's Eve.

You want to say that 2016 AD is 86401 seconds longer than 2015 AD. .Rob Houghton wrote:2016 is apparently going to be one second longer than 2015 was... The last minute will have 61 seconds!

Re: Our good and new intentions for 2017!!
Happy 2017, everybody! Here's to writing 2016, trying to turn the 6 into a 7, failing miserably and writing the whole year out again.
In 2017 I plan to continue getting better at my studies (2015 was a really bad year academically), have a rewarding summer job, visit old friends and make new ones, and see more of America. Because I miss my family so much when I'm not in Bangladesh, I'm hoping to make enough money over the year to make a week long visit home during the summer worth the cost - it's really hard coming home only once a year, and I don't know how my older brother has managed to live in Canada without once leaving for the past 2.5 years!

You're doing so well, Ming. Hope you manage to see your family again soon. I must admit that even going away from home for a fortnight, and I get home sick.

Good luck with your studies in 2017, Ming and I hope you manage to earn enough money to enable you to spend a week with with your family in Bangladesh during the summer.
