So Glad the Apocalypse/Rapture Didn't Happen!
You can be ecstatic now... the Mayan end of the world thing is a misconception 
The Mayan's concept of time wasn't linear, like ours is, but circular. They organized time into cycles, think of it as a concentric circle pattern. The largest, outermost circle is 25,000 years long... it's marked by the sun aligning with the Milky Way (also called the Galactic Alignment).
That's what's happening in 2012; it's not that their calendar ends, it's that the CYCLE ends. Because it's a circle, there IS no end... it just begins again. That's not to say it's not a significant milestone, it absolutely is... 2012 is supposed to mark a major shift in the history of mankind. To put it in perspective, the last time this cycle ended and began again 25,000 years ago, Neanderthal man died out and Cro-Magnon man flourished.
So, yeah... no end of the world, more likely the end of behaviors and ways of thinking that don't serve the greater good (that's my hope, anyway).
