Lesson Learned

So i got back from home this monday. it was super fun and great and warm and rainy and lovely. at the same time, i wanted to stay and not come back to school. who would want to come back to 0 degree weather. CRAZIES. thats who.

So got back and i have a long week ahead of me. i have a bunch of hw. its the halfway mark of the semester and every teacher is stepping up their game. and by game i mean assignments. super fun.

I honestly have nothing else beside that.

OH WAIT. how bout the most annoying part of the weekend. so i get off the plane on time. traffic in l.a. sucks. i was supposed to meet my brother and his friends to go to a concert. they were supposed to leave at 6 and that would have been perfect timing. but lo and BEHOLD they left at 5. i was still stuck in traffic. we were coming opposite ways on the freeway so we decided to meet in the middle. before they changed freeways. well they got to the meeting spot first. i was still stuck in traffic. so they waited for me for about 20 mins. then texted me asking where i was. i then said as any good friend would say, "hey if you are antsy, go ahead with out me". thinking i was being nice and thinking they wouldnt consider it, i sent the text into the virtual world that you cant take back. well guess what? they did leave. and then guess what? 5 minutes later i was at our meeting spot. pissed. completly pissed. i was in the back of my friends car and it was awkward. the past two weeks had absolutly sucked. they were frustrating and angering. missing the concert was just the cherry on top. except i didnt get to eat the sundae. on a positive note, i got to go to my favorite resturant with my daddy-o. that was very fun and bonding. so it was ok. it helped my night be better. i love hanging with my daddy.

That is it. great and terrible. life. shibby.

oh yeah p.s. my car bettery died while i was away. thats the cherry on top of the cherry.

Soo good news!

No, not really. i wish. but i will see MY doggies on friday!!! i get to go home for the weekend! i am unbelievably excited! i am finishing my hw right now and i have been working on it for a couple of hours, okay maybe a few hours. but look at me, good student and all.

Thats all i have for today. so far.

XOXO

Forgot One Thing...

so, i forgot the most important thing.

I WON SETTLERS OF CATAN!!!

A Night of Festivites

So yesterday, many a thing happened.

1. i ran 4 miles in roughly 40 minutes. this is great for me! i gave myself 45 minutes to do it, but then around 3.6 miles i was like, "i can get this in 40". so then i sprinted so hard and fast and naked. not really naked. but... yikes. umm it was great. i felt great.

2. after running the distance, i decided to eat like a whale. i didnt meant to do it on purpose, but ali came home with a bag of goodies and her mom sent me a bag of goodies and YIKES. i have eaten like crap all weekend. not good. thats ok, because this week i shall be most excellent.

3. i made red velvet cake.... well its more brown than red. i didnt have enough red food coloring.... so its like velvet cake. its still good, just not red. also, not as good as steph makes it. she has the paula dean touch.

4. so me and my roommates were dancing and i got really excited and fist pumped into the air. well, instead of hitting the air, i hit our ceiling light. it was glass. my fist won. it shattered on my face. i came away with one scratch. thankfully. EXCEPT its on the skin between my lip and nose. pretty sweet. pretty noticable. i was bleeding and then our dancing stopped. sorry for ruining the fun and the light.

5. before the occurrence of fist power ranger punching the light, we did yoga moves. i am getting somewhat good at some poses. i enjoy the head standing ones. but they always hurt my head after a while. wonder why?

6. i finished my first week of training for a half marathon.

7. i found a new song on the piano. called miserable at best by mayday parade. its super sad and depressing, but that has been my mood this past week so its chill.

8. i cleaned the apartment. i love cleaning. it always makes me super duper happy yo. i also rearranged it. fung shweey, ya dig.

VD... What?

This did happen....seriously

my room, i have added things since this pic.

So Valentines day is coming once again. great. my fave holiday. just kidding, its not that bad. my mom always sends me chocolate! well it was a whopping -30 degrees today. not too bad i guess. i have decided i am going to train to run a half marathon. whether i am actually going to run a half marathon is still up for debate. but it will be fun to train. my friend traci wants to do a 200 mile relay run with 12 people. it sounds really fun. problem is, she is not a runner at the least. she asked me for help because she knows i enjoy running, so i was like well you are going to run at least 15 miles. you might as well just train for a half marathon. she was like well you have to train with me. so i set up a schedule and decided i might as well just train with her. plus, i really enjoy running. it helps clear my head. when i run i dont think about the problems in life, i just run. i wish i could run outside, but as previously noted, its -30 degrees outside. i like my lungs and i dont want them to freeze.

My young adult lit class is going really well! i love the fact that i can read the books i love for college credit. if i could just take this class 100000 times, i would still love it. my shakespeare class on the other hand, not my favorite. i enjoy the works of shakespeare, but i guess i dont enjoy Henry V. not the most uplifting play. but then again, when is shakespeare ever uplifting. hopefully julius ceasar will be enjoyable. my orgins of the universe class is a joke. the first 4 classes we couldnt access our textbook. its an online ebook and it wouldnt open. i still can get it open. good thing the test has been postponed for a couple weeks now. family history class. yay. its ok. i just wish i felt like i knew how to go about it. i need to get into more to enjoy it more i guess. then there is my developing world class.... gee whiz. love/hate this class. first off there are no tests or final exams! but, there is always a butt with me, there is BUTTloads of online work. on the other hand, we usually have no class on mondays (class is shceduled for mon and wed from 9-10), but there is BUTTloads of group projects. i loathe group projects. L-O-A-T-H-E. they stink. like poop.

Fun note. we had a jersey shore party the other night and i got all bronzed up. it was fun! i just like to dress up and dance. we played beer pong, but with coke. mormon style ya dig. i rocked. then i started dancing. i love dancing. but no one else joined me. that sucked. but eh, i still danced.

i am thinking of doing a semester at sea this fall. you go on a cruise ship and sail around the world for 3 months. literally, the world. i would see south africa, japan, hong kong, morocco and so much more. those arent the places i was dying to see, but this oppertunity looks soo good. i hope i can find someone to go with me. i mean i am independent and it would be fun to go explore by myself, but its always nice to have someone to share the experience with. so hopefully a oppertunity can present itself.

Overall i am doing good. not great. but content. my positives equal my negatives. i am working really hard on some goals and excited to see the results of them. wish me luck.

So whats next?

Well i am back at school with mixed feelings. It is always bittersweet the first couple of weeks because you miss home and such, and with the and such, i miss a certain person. but thats all that needs to be said. ANYWAYS! i am living in an apartment with one of my best friends, Ali. she is an amazing person who genuinly cares for me. i truly appriciate that. i should tell her that more often. i have been getting better at expressing myself! that has always been a difficult thing for me. i dont do emotions. i have them of course, they just like to stay inside. anywho, i love where i am living! i get my own room! sure, i have to sort of hike to and from school, but its honestly not that bad. only when the snow is coming sideways at your face. but the other day i was walking home, it was bright and sunny outside, and the snow just sparkled. i couldnt help but to marvel in the beauty. its so cliche and i always feel silly for saying it, but God truly knew i needed to see that beauty at that moment. i am so grateful for the small miracles in my life. the past couple of months i have learned a lot about myself. like the most i have learned in a long time. i have learned that its ok to let people know how you really feel. i would say i am a people pleaser. i just dont like to have people mad at me or not like me. i am SURE that there are people who dont like me, but its not because i was rude to them. it is probally because i annoyed them or was obnoxious. back when i was younger i was an extreme BRAT! no joke. i will fully admit it. i am not proud of it, and if i could change that part of my past i would. i was bossy, rude, obnoxious, a bully, and a million of other negative things. i'd like to say i have improved on a lot of those attributes, but i have no clue. each day i just keep trying. wow that was deep. not really, but a little too deep for my comfort.
so tonight i wore a beanie for the first time in my life. that was super fun. pictures to follow. umm i felt super artsy. hahaha but then my friends and i had no where to go, soooo no one really saw me. thats cool though. i had fun adventuring.
i think i have figured out what i would like to do with the rest of my life. i would love to be a literary agent. basically i would be an agent for books. i would find potential authors, read their work, if i think it is good, pitch it to a publishing company. i love reading and sharing the stuff i read with other people if it is good. so yeah. that is what i am working on. and that is also why i am taking a shakespeare class and a young adult lit. now i am taking them at the same time. prob not my smartest move. 38 books. just for those two classes. in 3.5 months. IM CRAZY! haha but its not that bad. at first i was really intimidated, but i am actually really excited. i have always wanted to explore the works of shakespeare. and i love young adult novels. if anyone needs suggestions, i have read seriously more than a hundred young adult books, i could find the perfect match for you.
so that is my life right now. i am hoping to go snowboarding soon. we will see.

Wowy

So its been a while, understood. So many exciting stuff has been going on! It all started when school ended in July. right after finals i met my family down in Utah for my brothers wedding. i packed my car until like 1 on the morning and then had to take a final at 7:45, then i was done with my first year of college. drove 3 hours to the place we were staying in utah and just vegged. i was lukcy to be the bridesmaid for my sister-in-law. i am glad i got to bond a little with her that way. i am so happy for bud and emily! they are so perfect for each other. after the wedding we drove to Lake Powell. my most favorite place on planet earth. we go on a houseboat trip every summer for a week and a half. that is those are the best days of the year. it is so relaxing there and you can just sit and enjoy the beauty. we had the oppertunity to go on the redic crazy cool hike. basically there were puddles of water and in order to get to the next path you had to wade through the water. well none of us knew how deep each puddle was. My cousin Andy and i had the no fear challenge. you had to just walk straight into the water. the best water holes were when you started wading through them and it was only one or two feet, but then BAM it would drop off to more 6 feet and you would just fall through the water. i cannot wait to go back on that hike!
after that i went home finally. i was so excited to be home! i just love having the comfort of my own things. yeah everyone loves home. after being home for a bit i had to find a job. that was pretty difficult. luckily one of my dads biking buddies needed someone ot work in his insurance office. so that was my job. mon through friday, 1-5 with sometimes working 830 to 1. that was my daily grind. i am glad i got to work in an office. i was the person that everyone would ask to do stuff they didnt want to do. this helped me earn my appriciation for getting a college education. i do not want to be stuck at a job like that again. yiikkes. but i guess those jobs are there to make you want to get an education.
that is about it. that had been my life for the past six months. there has been interest of a certain boy. i am pretty sure nobody read this anyways but me, i am still not going to disclose any information. just saying there is a boy i like. a lot.
well thats it, my life in a nutshell. more to come.
