I'm starting to hear the bells...

Last year's Christmas wasn't really the best for me. After loosing my childhood home, moving to the city, getting my heart crushed and almost failing our group's thesis, I thought I was never going to live to see how 2011's Christmas would be like. Thankfully, I'm here and I'm still breathing, ready to feel the holidays!

I'm not the holiest of people. I'm not pious nor am I that spiritual. Still, my Christmas theme seems to be helping me appreciate the season more. I'm happy to think about how grateful I am because even if I lost my childhood home, I got to meet and understand my Dad. Even if I moved to the city (and away from my beloved South), I got to explore "life"  a little bit more. Even if I got my heart crushed, I got my mind set on just living without thinking of someone else and even if I almost failed our group's thesis, I still passed. As I wrote in my previous post, I am grateful for so many things in my life right now. I am very grateful.

Yesterday, Holly introduced me to this show called "Awkward." and I absolutely love it. I honestly can't wait for Season 2 (as we watched the whole season in a day). It's all about Jenna, the invisible girl in high school, who gives her V-card to Matty, the jock, in their last day of summer camp. When they get back to school, she's still invisible and Matty's still the jock and a million other things happen that puts her in the most awkward situations possible (the cheerleading mean girls, the kiss between her and Matt's best friend, the winter formal, etc...) while hoping that maybe Matty will go public with her the next day.


The show is super easy to watch and unlike teen shows these days, it's a little bit more realistic (although sarcastic at times). It's not about the rich kids living the upper east side life or the girl who fell in love with a vampire. It's about a girl, the most popular unpopular one, trying to survive high school while trying to figure out the difference between choosing her head or her heart.

Grateful for Awkward.

Someone Anxious.
