well, well, well...

...would ya look at that! It's been incredibly too long since I last wrote anything on this blog.

I do apologize for the long absence, especially since there really isn't any good reason for it. So, I will do my damnedest to catch y'all up on what's been happening in my life. Ready, go.

OKAY, let's see! Well, since my last post (in May, whoops...), I finished my first year in college & moved back home for the summer. I spent the majority of my time back home working as a hostess, which is something that I detest more than most things. Throughout the summer, though, I got to re-establish friendships with people from high school, however not as often as I'd liked. Around mid-July, I got my second tattoo of an arrow, and I ended the month with a fresh pixie cut. When the beginning of August rolled around, it was time for me to move into my first apartment with a friend of mine, made from the previous school year. Overall, the experience was a lot easier than I'd expected, especially the transition, considering my parents couldn't stay for long that day. Getting back in the swing of things in terms of school & classes was the most difficult thing, especially since I was still getting my gen-eds out of the way, with my worst & most draining one being this past fall. But the months just kept going by faster and faster, and before I knew it, here I was: a second-semester sophomore in college. (And I bet you can guess that Starbucks played a large part in getting me through this past semester.)

Thankfully, here I am. No worse for the wear, & definitely starting this semester off on a better note than the previous one. Well, for the most part at least. (Seriously though, who doesn't have hardships & tough times? I definitely have my fair share...) This semester, I am taking classes I'm actually interested in; go figure, right?

While I still am making my way through a couple more gen-eds, I am also starting to take classes for the major I'm thinking about declaring this year. It's gonna be a fun, scary, interesting, and totally worth it semester, I think. I hope. So...here goes nothing.

Hope you all are doing beautifully. (I'll certainly see what I can do in terms of making time to post on here more!)
