Almost There

Three finals down, one more to go. The worst is behind me - gone pretty well so far, although I don't think I did as 'OMGawesome' in some of my classes as I had hoped. I'm starting to hit that point where, having had so much to do lately, I feel like there still should be tons of things I need to work on, and there isn't. It's always a little off-putting.

I'm also trying to come up with a good Christmas present for my mom - I was going to get her a nice local wine, but the US Border Agency documents seem to say that if I'm under 21, I can't actually bring alcohol into the US. Never mind that it's perfectly legal for me to buy it here.

(PS, Audrey, got your card - thank you ♥!)

Argh

Whiny shallow post time! Because this is my blog, and I can do it if I want. I noticed last week that some of my jeans were feeling uncomfortably tight. So today I dragged out the tape measure to see if I was growing, or my pants were shrinking. The verdict? It is most definitely me. My hips are almost four inches bigger than the last time I measured them, in early June. I know I'm not fat, and I feel shallow for saying this, but damnit, I want my favorite pants to fit again. I can't even get the zipper on my suit pants up anymore. I don't have money to buy more pants D:

I know what it is, too, honestly. I stopped working out over the summer because I was busy and never around, and didn't pick it up again in the fall. And I've finally really hit the end of puberty, which means my metabolism has started to slow down.

I need to start working out again in January - my course-load is a lot lighter, so I actually have time. And I also need to remember that while I can prove that I can eat that whole pot of pasta by myself, I really shouldn't.
