Mariah's Nerdy Notes

Hello Interwebs! So....this weekend was SUPPOSED to be the big launch of my YouTube channel. Please not the supposed to be. Apparently I am not as technologically literate as I thought I was....or as eloquent. If you ever wonder if you're socially awkward, record yourself making an introduction video.

It was awesome to see them and the air was clear and fresh and really cold. I tried Moroccan food which was delicious. Alright enough about me.

O.o Anyways... December is an exciting month here at Nerdy Notes HQ and BUSY. Like super busy, like unbelievably uncontrollably busy. I have a business trip this week, which I didn't think I was and then on Thursday told me I was leaving on Monday. Don't worry. There will still be a blog on Friday. I shall preservere...that and I have a paper due the following Sunday sooo....kinda have to have my laptop on me because I don't get back until Saturday. Then the Winter Solstice is coming up, which my family is super excited about and then Christmas which the future in-laws and the fiance are super excited for. We
