Let's Commence

So, the idea of blogging seemed really good at the time. Although as all new things seem to do it has since gotten lost in the sea of busyness that is my life. Hopefully, I can return to a semi-regular amount of entries to keep the world up to date...by world I mean the few that care enough to read. : )

As first term has come to an end, I must say I am proud of my grades. Receiving straight A's with the exception of a B+ in Advanced Algebra I now have a standard to keep up. As I looked at my cumulative GPA, I realized how much I had screwed myself over freshmen year. Stupid. Stupid mistake. However, I learned from that and hopefully can avoid it in the future.

With the holidays comes the stress, love, and tradition that are so abundant in my families household. As we prepare to host Thanksgiving dinner, throw a Pampered Chef party, and decorate with our multiple Christmas trees we are learning to appreciate each others talents with less yelling than past years. I have been busy, desperately trying to organize my bedroom in such a way that I can fit in my own Christmas tree but I'm having no such luck. Good thing I've still got over a month to work it out!

With a broken camera, no money, and no social life as I've been grounded and will be for awhile--I lack a great deal of things to talk about.

alas, I shall be going off to paint my nails.

Question: What comes to mind first when you think of the holiday season?
