...to the rest of the world, haha. Over here, it's only dinner time, but we're close (sort of?)! My dad's roasting a prime rib, which is going to be really yummy.
Anyway, a lot of stuff has been going on lately and I've been neglecting this blog (as usual)... I swear. Updates will be more frequent. I hope. A little summary of what I've been doing: Tahoe, photoshoot (that just ended up in a lot of silly faces), lots of baking and incredible amounts of eating. I think I've gained a thousand pounds this vacation. Once I get back to school, it's time to hit the gym. And the salad bar.
I also owe a million Christmas art pieces. They will happen. Hopefully, sometime in the near future.
Wishing you all the best for the new year!

Home Sweet Home
That's right. I am a lucky duck on the quarter system and am home! Although, once finals for winter quarter come rolling by, I won't be so lucky and I'll be cursing all you lucky folks with semesters.
Anyway, on Friday, I woke up at 6:30 so I could shower before my bus, which I'd scheduled at 7:30 because my flight was at... 10? I can't remember anymore, but the next bus wasn't for a while, so I had to take the early one. And let me tell you, I am not a morning person. Under no circumstances will I ever be one. So, I get to the airport, and it is packed. So I'm thinking: Wow! Good thing I thought ahead and got an early bus; I'll get to the gate right on time! Sorry, self. My flight was delayed for three hours, and once I got on the plane, we couldn't take off because all the other flights had been delayed, so there was a big plane-jam on the runway. I was supposed to be home at 12:00. I got on the plane at 12:40, we took off at 1:30, then once I got there, there was another traffic jam and I didn't end up getting home until 4:45. Oh boy. At least my parents super spoiled me once I got home and took me out for a nice dinner at a buffet, teehee. Lots of yummy steak for me!
Sunday was the Christmas concert at church and it was really great! They really outdid themselves. It was the best one I've been to so far! I took loads of pictures and I'll try to get around to uploading them sometime or another. I also went on a mini photoshoot Sunday afternoon and took roughly 40 pictures, although I dislike the majority of them, haha. That's the problem with auto-focus and self-photography. Also, it was incredibly cold and I was wearing 4-inch heels, so after a few minutes, I called it quits. I really need to start taking photos more often though, especially since I want to compile a portfolio as a fashion stylist. Every now and then, I particularly like an outfit I pick out, tell myself I'll take a picture of it later, then never get around to it. I need to be more motivated! Go, self, go! Work for those internships!
Anyway, that's about it. I plan on doing lots of baking/trying out of recipes over the break, so look forward to lots of food pictures! Love you all.

I apologize for the incredibly cruddy post I posted on Sunday, haha. I ended up throwing a bunch of tissues and string together, taping them together, and slapping watercolours on them. I'm hoping for a good grade. Please cross your fingers for me!!
Anyways, yesterday was the first final of my college career.. And it was awful. It was so hard. I thought I'd do relatively well on it, considering I'm getting an A in the class, so I was feeling somewhat confident... Then bam! I felt so lost on every single problem. I'm not sure if I got full credit on ANY of the problems... On a happier note, one of my suitemates brought in the cutest dog ever. Her name's Josie and she's a miniature poodle. And she's so obedient! She rarely barks and loves to be cuddled.
But! The main point of this post is to blatantly advertise Pinterest, which is the most addicting thing known to mankind. I spend all my time there, haha. In their words, "Pinterest is a place to catalog the things you love." You can also upload your own pictures/pins and create boards for any category you please! It's incredibly fun and makes saving the pictures you like so much easier! And there is an incredible treasure trove of amazing things on there! You can follow the boards you like, and pictures that are pinned by them show up on your Pinterest homescreen. Also, you can 'like' and comment on pins you like. Pinterest tends to be very classy and artsy, with lots of artwork, fashion, DIY guides and recipe, which is right up my alley. I looove it.
Some sneak peeks of what's on there:
Right now, I think you have to request an invite in order to join, so if any of you are interested in joining, send me a comment or something with your email address and I'll send you an invite!
Off to studying for my chem final tomorrow.. Toodles!

'Tis the Season
Evidently, I'm very bad at this whole 'updating on a regular basis' thing. I apologize in advance.
Anyway, as I'm sure you all have noticed, it is now holiday season! And let me start by saying that this is absolutely my favourite time of the year. Time to break out the hot cocoa and grandma sweaters! As soon as Thanksgiving was over, my parents and I put up the Christmas tree and I made a Christmas playlist on YouTube. And for those of you who celebrate it, Happy Hanukkah!
And, the moment I know you've all been waiting for with bated breath, here are pictures of some of the necklaces I made! More will come when I have more time.
As of now, only the Dreaming of Leaves necklace is for sale, although the price is still undetermined, haha. I really haven't a clue how to price it. $10 plus S&H?
Erk. I just realized that my final project for art is due tomorrow. Oops! Off to finish that now... Love you all! Until next time.
