I hadn't realized how long it's been since I blogged until I went to look at something on my blog today. I think the biggest reason is just because nothing has really been happening. I had to take this semester off and for the last few months my life has mostly consisted of watching Netflix and reading lots of book...and then sleeping. Lots of sleeping. And in between all of that going to doctors and getting icky tests done.
Lots of changes are going to be happening over the next month. For one, I'm permanently moving back home. Well, sort of. I'm moving home, but moving into my own place, which I'm SO EXCITED ABOUT. In fact, I started picking out furniture today. Now this of course started out fun, but ended with my mom and I screaming at each other. I get the feeling that's going to be happening a lot over the next month. We just don't think the same way and therefore we both have very different ideas of how we need to get everything I need for my apartment.
I'm transferring schools and changing majors. That's a big change. But I'm actually really excited about that too. I love being an English major, but I realized that it's not going to help me with what I want to do, since that recently changed as well. So, since the career goal has changed, the major must change too.
Most importantly, I have to change my lifestyle a little bit, which is why I chose to move back home. My body doesn't handle stress well. I've always known that. But I guess over the last couple of years I've chosen to ignore that. I took on way too much and though I loved every minute of it, it wasn't healthy. So I'm taking a step back and trying to focus on the really important things and also trying to be more careful about taking care of myself. That's why i decided to move back home. Starting fresh gives me the opportunity to re-evaluate everything and focus only on the important stuff.
I've also started making YouTube videos. So far, they all kind of suck but that's okay. It's something I've always had an interest in and now seemed like a good opportunity to give it a go. Right now I'm only making videos once a week and once I go back to school who knows if I'll be able to stick to that. But I'm going to try. Which means I probably won't be blogging as much. However, if the YouTube thing becomes too time consuming, I will definitely be coming back to blogging. Besides, just because I'm no longer an English major, doesn't mean that I have to stop writing. Writing is my thing and sometimes it's just easier to write it all out rather than talk to a camera. In fact, I'm quite horrible at talking to a camera.

I'm looking forward to this new year with lots of new changes and goals. Hope you are too!
Happy 2012! :)
