Merry Christmas and other updates

I hope you all had a merry Christmas this year. This was my first one as a college student and first time opening with the adults at family Christmas. I got a fire safe, which my mother added to my Christmas list without my consent, and a scent warmer thing I will never use. Oh well. I got warm clothes, pajamas, a sweatshirt and a sweater, boots, and lots of gloves, so I'm happy.

I also hope to start posting here for a different reason. Once a week, I will be posting a weight update. I haven't been this heavy in my entire life, and it is neither healthy nor okay.  My pants size is bigger than my mother's and she's not a small woman. I'm also ten pounds heavier than her. She's buying me a scale and sending me a dollar for every pound I lose. I need to lose about 70 pounds, so that's a commitment. It's also quite a motivator. An extra $8 a month? I'll take it. Fun money!

Anyway, that's about it for me. I got pretty much straight Bs which is okay. Religion, Satan in Literature, IOC, Stage Combat, Music Theory 1, Cantabile, composition and piano lessons- all done. 

Next semester I'm taking Literary Afterlives (retellings and adaptions in literature-doesn't sound like me at all. I may get to use my beauty and the beast research as well) intro to communication, radio production and broadcasting, Spanish, cantabile (choir) and  composition and voice lessons. It's gonna be awesome.
