Happy New Year! I really wish I had kept a more up-to-date diary of last year, because I can only remember about two or three interesting things I did all throughout 2025. Oops. If only I had... a website... with a diary built in... that I could use to keep track of the goings on of my life... oh well, maybe next year!
2026 has already been going pretty well for me so far. I've actually been eating consistently! I've got a really bad track record with not eating enough... it's not an eating disorder per se (hell, I'd love to be eating more frequently), but it's more a nasty combination of a high metabolism and a non-existent appetite. Which, to most people, might sound great! It is not great when you're trying to be over 105 pounds. Ugh. My goal is to try and hit 120 lbs before my birthday in August. Eight months should be enough, right? I'm just hoping my metabolism doesn't start burning off all the pounds I'm trying to put on before then...
My spring semester starts up in about a week or so. I'm still going for my arts degree, but one of my professors is also trying to put me on to a Science Communication minor that's offered at a different campus. I did some science-y work over the summer (not saying where as to not dox myself), and I ended up really enjoying it! I never would have thought I'd have enjoyed anything to do with science... let alone have been good at it. I mean sure, it's fascinating at all, but I was always horrible at chemistry and biology in high school. I thought I was just too art-brained for it all. If it came down to it... I don't think I'd mind swapping things around to be a Science Communications major and an arts minor. Maybe. The big downside of the minor is that it's offered an hour away by car (can't drive) and three hours away by public transit (hahaha, no). I've been talking with some people to see if I can do the entire degree remotely, though. My fingers are crossed...
Relationships are weird. Good weird. I'm still engaged in that ~homosexual activity~ with a certain someone that I mentioned back in my October 2024 entry (oh god, it's been a year already... hold me, I feel faint). We stuck the QPR label on our relationship back in July and we've been going strong ever since. I'm hoping I'll actually get to fly out and see her once my semester's over... if my paycheck allows... I'll be spending most of the summer working anyhow, so hopefully that'll cover the cost of a hotel room and round-trip flight. It'd be worth it to get to see her again.
My New Year's Resolutions: Gain weight! Eat more! Try to get good at cooking? Work out, maybe! Research how to get good at kissing people when the last kiss you had was a chaste peck on the lips in ninth grade! Watch at least one movie a month! Be competent!
