I'm a senior in high school, have everything worked out for my college for next year and cannot wait to go out and start a new life. I'm majoring in Business and Japanese, with a minor in History and possibly Italian or Chinese. I love Japanese - it's my passion; the language itself is absolutely gorgeous and learning new vocab or grammar makes me literally giddy. It's an addiction. I also love regular high school things - going out with friends, TV, AIM, internet, concerts (*adore* them), and reading books by authors such as Dostoyevsky, Dickens, Orwell, etc (what, is that not a normal high school thing?)

I found this site back around Thanksgiving 2005 when I decided I really needed to stop sitting on my butt and slowly but surely gaining weight. I did well until late January and had lost 5 pounds, then life and school got harder, I stopped the diet/exercise and became frustrated with myself and the way I was handling things. Starting early April, I'm back on track and doing better than ever. I want this to be my lifestyle - I don't want to see myself in a couple of years, with an extra Freshman 15 and maybe a Sophmore 20 packed on top of that.
