I haven't updated in a very long time!

I'm not sure what to blog about anymore, haha.

I went to Vegas for Thanksgiving break! Shanda & Casey were there too, but my family kidnapped for the entire duration, so I couldn't meet up w/them or anything like that. I did Black Friday shopping for the first time ever -- it's really tiring, but the deals are amazing! Favorite part about my break? Probably having a PRIVATE bathroom... and seeing Madame Tussauds' Wax Museum. I was disappointed that they didn't have the Jonas Brothers. How absurd is that?

So I haven't seen snow yet, but I'm convinced I will in the upcoming week or so. I'm basically screwed because I'm always just a bit cold & never completely warm when I'm outside. I still need to invest in a down jacket (those things cost hundreds of dollars, ugh) & waterproof boots since my Uggs are probably not suitable once it comes for REAL wintertime.

I guess I'm somewhat excited to go back home for break. I won't need to wear jackets, boots, or scarves for a solid 3 weeks before I experience weather shock again in January, haha. I should really get a job while I'm home though.

I'm pumped to buy Christmas gifts for you special Maryknoll people, although I'm unsure about how exciting gifts from Boston are...!

FUCK THIS SHIT!

I don't know how to fucking STUDY!

I never had to study throughout high school because Maryknoll was a shitty prep school that didn't teach me SHIT! And now I'm fucked over because I'm actually/finally at a RIGOROUS school that requires thinking.

I feel so overwhelmed by all my courses & can't seem to comprehend why I'm not getting an A+++++ in my Writing 100 course like I usually get in English courses.

Why. Not.

I need to learn how to study. I need to find out what kind of LEARNER I am. I'm not an auditory learner because I fall asleep during lectures...

Shit.

"The Sisterhood was inspired by the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. As we all spread out across the country, we will still keep in touch and keep our friendship strong. The bracelet will pass in rotation from one member to the next, along with photos of the previous holder wearing the bracelet and a letter describing the events that the wearer endured during her time with the bracelet.

The Fellowship was also inspired by the Traveling Pants, however the blogs do not travel, the people travel. Since we are all in different places, it is a fun way to let each other know what they're up to by posting vlogs (video blogs) or regular blogs about their life, their feelings about moving to college, feelings when they get there, and about what's going on in the person's life while we are separated. Other members are able to view each other's blogs and comment and this way no one misses anything."
