I have noticed that nearly every time I update my journals I start out by saying something along the lines of "sorry I haven't updated in so long, it's just that..." and I then proceed to lay out my excuses. I will try not to wax long and dreary about that, I will merely state that college and work take up a ridiculously large amount of my time. However, winter break means that I can finally find the time to upload some older photos as well as taking a few new ones. Thus the hodgepodgey batch you are seeing here.
