A New Year's Resolution

I know it is a little early to start making resolutions but...

Jenn L. does posts for various days (like Thankful Thursdays) which I have decided to steal! Here are mine. And though it isn't 2010 yet, I thought I'd get started today!

Scholarly Sundays - Where I shall indulge you with whatever I am reading

Media Mondays - Where I will talk about movies, music, books, or television

Tasty Tuesdays - Where I will post a recipe or just talk about something delicious

Written Wednesdays - Where I will attempt to write a little prose or poetry

Thankful Thursdays - Where I will post something(s) I am thankful for!

Fantasy Fridays - Where I will talk about dreams and aspirations or just plans

Snapshot Saturdays - Where I will upload a picture or two

I will be posting later today a bit about Peer and Romantic Relationships in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood. Are you jazzed? You should be!

November Flew By

Dear Blogosphere,

November flew right by and I didn't get another post in! I apologize.

So what happened in November?

*School, school, school and more school. It never ends.

*I went on the most delightful road trip from Davis, to Winters, to Lake Berryessa, to Calistoga, to St. Helena, to Napa, to Fairfield, and back to Davis.

*I gave my first big presentation on Socialization in the Family: Ethnic and Ecological Perspectives.

*I turned TWENTY-TWO.

*I ate the most delicious turkey and gluten-free stuffing with my family in Salt Lake.

I am thrilled because I only have one more day of class left! I still have plenty of work ahead of me, but soon I will be back in my beautiful Utah for the holidays!

Yes. I am a Nerd.

Me: "I found out a few days ago that I am a nerd."

Him: "Huh, it took you that long?"

But it's not a bad thing! Really! I mean look at this definition:

"An intelligent, single-minded expert in a particular technical discipline or profession."

Let us hope we both had that definition in mind, and not this one:

"Foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious."
