While it is easy to do, it would be foolish to define the New Year as full erasure of our past. We are products of our accomplishments and our mistakes, our pride and our regret. At the beginning of the month, I asked you to write a list of your New Year's resolutions, but this year I would like you to write a letter to me about who you are now and who you were as a child, describing how you've changed. Please turn this task in to the desk in the front hall by Saturday, 25 January 2013 before 11:59pm in your time zone. Mark the envelope with 'djtask10'.

Don't be so unwieldy in your person that you continue to make the same mistakes and find yourself in an circle of staticity. The New Year is the perfect motivation to make changes in our habits and ourselves, so your next task is to write a list of resolutions for the New Year and turn it into me at the desk in the front hall by Sunday, 5 January at 11:59pm in your time zone. Please mark the envelope with 'djtask9'.

As the holiday season dawns upon us, I believe the house needs some more decoration. I am interested in how you all would decorate the house, so here is your chance to express a bit of creativity. I will assign you each a partner and each pair a room, and you will be expected to decorate it. You may decorate it however you please and for whatever holiday you celebrate. Please complete this task by Saturday, 14 December at 11:59pm EST.

Kitchen: Cara & Gavin

Front Hall: Chandler & Cassandra

Living Room: Emmett & Caden

Stairs: Brooke & Tate

Library: Sadie & Klara

Dining Room: Lilia & Annie

Study: Kyle & Alex

Given that several of you are American, I find it trifling no one attempted to orchestrate a celebration for the Thanksgiving holiday that passed just days ago. Certainly there must be something for which you are thankful. I would love to know what it is, so in a genuine letter to me, please share for what you are thankful. Please write this letter before Saturday, 7 December at 11:59pm EST, and turn it in to the table in the front hall with the words 'djtask8' written across it.

I did not believe it too difficult a task, but you have proven me wrong. Do not fret, however, because I have found a new task for you, and I made sure not to require you to write a letter this time. Your new task is to sleep outside in the garden until the end of this week on 29 November. I do hope the chill does not get to you.

With love,

Juliet
