The Skinny on Christmas

It's been a while, my friends. My winter break has had its ups and downs, that's for sure.

Notable events include: taking Rowdy to the beach, Christmas at my grandma's, spending time with the family, sleeping late, eating at Cheese Bunny, catching up on my reading and movie list, and visiting Castaways.

I suppose 'tis the season for changes and resolutions. I have made my own.

It is no secret that I'm a tad on the chubby side. I've decided to remedy that. I know everyone makes those weight loss resolutions and such, but I seriously think I can accomplish it. I set myself to it in high school, and actually lost some weight, but without careful attention I easily gained it all back (and then some). Contrary to what a lot of people believe, you can eat unheathily and be a vegetarian. Pastas, potatoes and potato chips, cookies...all vegetarian and all equally damaging if not eaten in moderation.

With that said, my current long time goal is to lose weight. I vow to eat healthier and engage in some sort of athletic activity three to five times a week. I don't have a specific number in mind, but I think I will realize it when I get there.

We will return to our regularly scheduled program in just a moment...

The last week of class, woo!


I apologize for the lack in serious blogging - my days have been filled with fairy tales.

I have had three important assignments due in my Hans Christian Andersen class in the last two weeks: a group written fairy tale, a group performed fairy tale, and a literary analysis of 2-3 of HCA's tales. Ordinarily I would jump at the chance to write an intellectual evaluation of "The Little Mermaid," but I'm finding it a little difficult to care at the moment.

After this week I will be able to fill your brain with invaluable descriptions of my Castaway's purchases (complete with pictures!) and the state of my holiday shopping - you know, highly beneficial information.
