It's been awhile...

And I mean a long while. I've gotten back on the grind and am on top of my homework, grades, school, work etc.
I'm entering some new chapters in my life. I added Women Studies as my second major at the end of spring term last year.

I really like the classes and the theory behind women studies...it's so different than what society portrays it as. This term I'm taking a Gender & Science class and while I'm not a big fan of science, when I think back to my grade school biology/chemistry days...did I EVER learn about female scientists? No.

I'm still doing New Media Communications as well, which I love. I've branched off from print journalism and am now entering the unknown waters of TV journalism. Yesterday I went to the beginning of the term Student Media Meeting and instead of signing up for the Barometer as I usually do, I signed up instead for KBVR (Tv Station) and more specifically Beaver News.

Maybe if I stick to my rigorous New Year's Eve Resolution and lose enough weight to be back down to my high school size (size 9 by the way and thank you very much), I can even start to learn what it takes to become a successful news anchor. I added a PAC class this term which had me working out like I hadn't since my athletic days in hs. It was hard but I couldn't deny that I felt good afterwards.

That, coupled with the realization that I just might be lactose intolerant (which has changed my diet considerably) is enough to make me start dropping pounds. I got a head start on my resolution during break, where thanks to depression (R.I.P Rebel) I was able to lose about five or six pounds.

Let me put this into perspective for you. I will never be skinny (I'm a curvy girl, sorry Media World) and it's not that I hate myself...it's that I want to be more confident and comfortable than I already am....plus losing weight will make clothes shopping not such a hassle anymore.

And I want to be healthy. End of story.

So as I enter the next part of my life, the part where I turn 21 but still recognize where my efforts shall still lay, the part where I become media literate in ALL aspects of media, the part where I gain awesome internships in both my majors, I hope to keep on top of the social media, and keep all of you entertained with my (interesting? maybe...) life.

Love!
