In the almost year since I last wrote here, I've missed you all. It's been a busy and exciting year, but I'm delighted to be relaunching the blog as of today! I unintentionally stopped blogging last year when my life got busy. I often thought of returning to the blog but I never found the time until now.
I'll start with an overview of the last year's major events:
School-wise, the last year has been interesting. I found out that calculus is hard and organic chemistry is even harder. Struggling with clinical depression at the same time is almost impossible. I dropped a class, passed two by the skin of my teeth and thrived in other classes. This college stuff is a challenge, but nothing that's worth doing is easy, right?
Oddly enough, this semester is my most challenging and yet I'm doing my best work in quite a long time. I'm very interested in the classes I'm taking right now (except for calculus of course yawn) and I'm drawing closer to my graduation date so my motivation to succeed is higher than ever before. Studying in my field of interest, which is zoology, has given me a glimpse of what my life can become after I graduate and begin a career so my focus has definitely been renewed.
I'm very excited for the future of my education and career!
Life-wise, nothing too major has happened. Last April brought another bout of horrid allergy-induced asthma and a month of inactivity. I barely even got any knitting done I was so out of breath! June brought a big change in my hairstyle as I cut off two feet of my hair!
Before:
Last July, I turned 25, which is completely unimportant. In September I was a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding.
Funnily enough, participating in her wedding cost more than my own wedding total, though that's mainly due to the $650 speeding ticket I received on the drive down. Whoops! October 30th brought our 5th wedding anniversary which we celebrated with a trip to San Diego, California over Christmas.

Sunset at La Jolla:
Most recently, DH and I ran off to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina to celebrate his birthday weekend. It was beautiful, awesome and relaxing.
Tomorrow's post will be knitting!
