No sorry to disappoint but I'm not really updating. I'd like to find some way if possible to transfer entries from my xanga onto LJ though. Anyone know if it's possible? I like the privacy settings better. But to make this post not so bland, I'll just copy and paste my latest entry onto here :)

It seems as if every year I need holiday decorations to remind me of how much time has passed. I was buying drinking water yet again at the Walgreens right next to the campus and I was shocked by how early they put out all of the Christmas merchandise. Not that I'm in any way upset by it, it just seems as if I've only just arrived in Berkeley. It's a funny feeling.
Although it's 1:30 AM right now, and I have a paper due friday I decided to update. I think I should make a point of doing this more often so that I can remember more things about my first year in college. It's always fun tracking how my written voice changes from junior high all the way to college.
Thanksgiving is coming up pretty soon! I'm so excited to be flying back home for the holiday. I can't wait to step back into my house and just finally see my family again. Hopefully I can convince my siblings that we must put up the Christmas tree on that friday. I'm pretty much an old lady when it comes to the holidays. I get so giddy about everything. In the later half of high school, I pretty much lost most of my enthusiasm about the holidays. I mostly treated it, at least mentally, as another task to check off on some list in my head. But now, I'm just concerned with making as many memories as possible. That's what irks me about being camera-less here in Berkeley. I can take no photographs! I'm usually the person who's taking all of the pictures at all family and friend occasions, so it's pretty much driving me nuts. Hopefully, I can do something about that when I go back home.
So lately in my life, nothing much has been happening--as usual! This past week I've been feeling very recluse and isolated from everyone. I personally don't mind the solitude, but I know it's not healthy. Daylight savings has been causing me to get take out from the DC nearly every evening, so I don't get a chance to talk to the same people I used to talk to as often. Oh well. It gives me a chance to catch up on House and Pushing Daisies lol.
Speaking of Pushing Daisies...I adore this show! It leaves me feeling content every time I finish an episode. It doesn't have that effect that say, 24, has on viewers. If there were a DVD set for this show, I wouldn't sit there and watch all the episodes straight in other words. Lee Pace is adorable. I love how quirky and quick-witted everyone on the show is :)
Okay, anyways, I should get some work done on my Donne paper. Goodbye.
