Not Dead.

Contrary to what I'm sure is popular belief, I'm actually not dead.

I've just been super busy with like...finals...and working on two plays...and...you know, watching Friends reruns...

I promise I will blog more regularly over the break (which, by the way, I am officially declaring started as of now). But until then, some snippets:

• I finished my first semester of college with a 3.5 GPA. Not bad for the first semester, so I've heard.
• I was in a musical this weekend at church, which went really well. My mom also directed a play at my old high school this weekend (that I helped with), which also went really well.
• I went black Friday shopping for the first time ever! It was a successful shopping trip. Got everything I wanted. Except for one pair of boots that I had to get in a bigger size because they didn't have mine. And they're too big, so I have to exchange them. And when I went to Kohl's to do so, they still didn't have my size. So I need to go check a different store.
• I am SO IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. Christmas is in, like, a week, y'all. YAY.
• I'm almost done with Christmas shopping. Just a couple more people to go. I'm so excited to see everyone open their gifts (I'm really rocking the gift giving thing this year, if I do say so myself).
• I started this new training thing at work this morning which requires me to get up at 5:30 EVERY MONDAY MORNING. Therefore, I'm tired.
• New Year's Eve party = so happening. Invitations have been sent, but plans have not been made...I'll work on that later.
• I'm going to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags on Saturday! Woohoo!
• I won Bingo at my company's Christmas party and got a $30 gift card to BJ's, where I have never been. Cool. (I never win stuff, so it's exciting).
• I made Christmas cookies and gingerbread men and they were a hit! I will be making them again. 
• You can see pictures of all these things if you follow me on Instagram, @kholiday25. Do it!

I think that's it for now. I have a gazillion unpublished drafts I've been working on, so maybe I'll post one or all of those in the near future...we'll see.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
