christmas is coming

i haven't blogged in so long

i graduated high school

now i'm in college

a lot has happened

i now am a freshmas at BYU in the small town of provo, utah. i am a big girl now. i live in an apartment-style dorm with five other girls. yes, five other girls. it has been quite the transition from living with five boys and a mom to living with five girls...and no mom. i like to think i'm doing pretty well. except two of my roommates already moved out. we had a little disagreement. i'm not a very good at handling disagreements. but they have moved out either way. two new girls have moved in, and things are better.

its funny how you think you have everything figured out, and then come to realize things change. i still don't know what i want to be, but i'm having fun figuring it out. i'm pretty sure i come up with something new every day. my mom's probably getting sick of me telling her all the different things i want to do.

i'm home for the holidays, which is the nicest thing ever. literally nothing is as good as home. i love christmas. its my favorite time of the year. i have watched a different christmas movie about every other day. they're always on tv, and i stay up watching them. tonight, its deck the halls.

i'm going to try and keep up on blogging. this past semester i spent a lot of time doing nothing, now i can use that time to actually do something.

things i have done this year:

hiked the Y

kidnapped a duck

changed my major

went crazy on Black Friday

hung lingerie on our door as a decoration

got called as ward choir director

went to the ready set concert

applied for at least ten jobs

got a debit card

read the hunger games series

did ten hours of service

ate at jdawgs

tried graham canyon ice cream (best.ever)

went without a cell phone/ipod/internet for a long period of time (more than once)

bombed my american heritage final

discovered the joys of airport security, learned how to avoid the creepy scanners

survived the blizzard of the century

finally bought some sick nike hightops

baked ridiculous amounts of cookies

had a huge crush on a super cute t.a.

got angry and yelled at my roommate, then pretended i had been sleep-talking

wished i had a bedtime

spent hours watching tv on my laptop

avoided the library at all costs

missed nevada county

skyped my best friend

got holes in my shoes

laughed way too much

AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

KETCHUP

Well lets see, I have not blogged for like a century. It's not like you don't know anything that happened, since I have facebook you can kind of see whats goin on. But I don't really get to tell the stories and stuff like I do on a blog. So I'm back on for now. My senior year is coming to an end soooo fast. I have my senior project presentation coming up really fast. For those of you who do not know what that is, it's some dumb project every senior has to complete in order to graduate. You have to pick something that interests you and do it for 20 hours. I picked "Volunteering at the Hospital" thinking it would be fun. Unfortunately it is the most boring thing ever. I stand around and do random things they need like restock gloves or get ice water or straws. This year has been the year of laziness + procrastination. I probably have the most absences ever recorded in history. This applies to school, seminary, and days I was supposed to work at the hospital. So now I have 12 hours of service and another 8 to finish in a week... not good. I will figure it out though. The most stressful week is the week of Sunday the 16th- Wednesday the 19th. Sunday I have my Young Womanhood Recognition, which I have yet to finish. Tuesday I have an all day festivel in Napa called the Golden State Festival, its kind of a huge deal. Then Wednesday I give me senior project speech. But after that I am donnnnnne. That Friday we have our Senior Picnic and then the next night is Senior Ball (of which I have a story regarding, I just need to wait and get some pictures). Then graduation is on the 12th of June. I cannot wait.
