yeah...about that

so technically i shouldn't be writing this right now seeing as i'm in class. however (mom and dad this point is for you) it has not STARTED yet. i figured i'd give a quick update as to what i've been up to.
tomorrow i officially declare my major. so as to not embarrass dad i dare not give you the full name of it. however it is recreation management: emphasis in youth leadership. minoring in non-profit management. heck yes. i'm hoping i get to work with youth, or at least that's my goal. in one of our classes today we actually had someone come in and discuss some opportunities for service that would lean towards what i want to do. sweet dizzle!!
life's good. work and school consume my days and i'm actually staying up to date with my homework and everything. hope it stays that way...
have a great day, cuz that's about all i have time for....

6?!!?

um, so i have to list 6 habits or facts about myself in response to carrie's tag. sorry it took me a while. so here goes....
1. i like movies too much for my own good. it's not a healthy habit. and i like a lot of movies, but i do not actually have a favorite.
2. i play with my bottom lip when i get nervous or bored. it tends to weird some people out but whatever...
3. i have had a headache (some worse than others) almost every day since eighth grade. i went to a regular doctor and a neurologist for it. proof, once again, that doctors don't know as much as they like to think they do.
4. my favorite color is called brick red. it's something i discovered back in elementary school and was literally the crayon i used mostest. in fact the color i'm currently writing in is pretty much brick red.
5. back at home in woburn, sometimes when i got mad i would hide so when mom came looking for me she couldn't find me. i'd come out when i knew if i didn't show up i'd be in even more trouble. i had to change up a few places just to keep it lively.
6. before i can use something new, i have to make sure the old one is used up. like chapstick or a pen. i don't know why but it bugs the heck out of me. i also like to use the same pen for a certain class (like for my rec management classes i use red, i refuse to use any other color). it's just one of those things.

anyone i might have considered tagging has already been tagged. so, go read everyone else's blogs to find more about them.
x's and o's!

so...

well people, i am not exciting. i don't have pictures to show you so i don't know why you would look at my blog. no pictures, no excitement. but hey i'll try to improvise. so here goes.
since september life has become a bit more hectic. lots of work for school. i'm keeping up pretty well so i'm hoping the rest of the semester goes well. i'm pretty sure on my major now and i'm working on planning for the rest of my school life. even taking a class that does field observations that allows us to see s0me of our career options for our major. pretty nifty.
i'm also looking into a job in alaska in hopes i can make some good money so i can pay for a study abroad to new zealand. i've been talking to a couple people about it and learning some specifics to see if it will be worth it to work up in alaska. we'll see.................................................................

sadly, i will not be joining most of the family out here for thanksgiving. i have to work thanksgiving day as well as the day after. talk about a way to ruin a vacation. oh well, working won't kill me. thankfully i was able to visit nicole and chris a couple of weeks ago with katy micah and jamie so i won't be missing out on too much. i think.

so i'm just working on school stuff as of late. there's a chance i might be right on schedule, even a little ahead of it. sweet dizzle.
anyways, have a great day. sorry about no pictures but that's how it goes.

hate is a strong word

so. school. yeah, i'm attending it. i'm taking a few classes and such. i really scored on the professor side too. i really lucked out with them. they're all pretty cool and i'm excited to be taking the classes with them. no homework yet, except for reading. but that is to be changed soon. i think the first hard copy assignment begins tomorrow or something like unto that.
work's going all right too. it's different out here but that was totally expected. you can't be in utah and expect it to be anything like back home. i like it for the most part. i just hope they start scheduling me for a few more hours than i've been getting so far.
saturday i went with cris to a xc meet here in provo. i was a volunteer so they stuck me at the end collecting the numbers and putting them in order of finish. so i got to see a lot of sweaty and smelly boys. it was pretty amazing watching runners who are even more amazing than anyone i've ever seen. some high school kid did a sub 15 for the 5k. no one was anywhere close to touching him. it was amazing. my old roommate's brother and sister were both running as well so i got to cheer them on a little bit. i almost missed running, but not really. practice was fun but the races bit the big one. i hated races soooooooo much. here they didn't have any hills, which i used to think was mandatory for a course to be considered for a race. pshh, it was pathetic.
it's been great to have family nearby. i see bryce and lisa more than i think even they care to. and betsy and katy and i are all getting along quite well living together....so far. i even get to se micah and tanner a lot as well. it's like a party every day at our apartment. it's great. should happen more often.
well life is golden. so to speak. so yeah. school's gonna start picking up soon so life will continue as we tend to know it.

fo shizzle

so i'm back in utah. for school and such. out early for my other roommate's wedding. it was fun to go to the reception and see my friends. one of my fhe brothers from last year flew out for the wedding. he leaves for his mission in about a week and a half. so it was fun seeing him before he heads out.

things are kind of crazy. trying to get things squared away with my banking and tuition and all that type of stuff. trying to be responsible and a big girl. went wakeboarding first day out. which was fun. helped (more or less...) bryce and lisa move in this morning. so yeah. getting things squared away. not sure when it will completely sink in that i'm in the next stage of school.

here's to an interesting year...

so here's the deal

kid, this is weird. going back to utah in about ten days. i don't know how i can handle that....but it's all good, it should be a good year. i really am sort of looking forward to it. i should probably start going through my things to decide what i'm going to take back out to school with me.

besides that...nothing's been going on. just been working and rarely sticking my head out in public with a friend or sibling. still teaching my beamers, i have 6 in my class, me being the only teacher, but thankfully there have been days when a few would not be there. it's been fun, interesting definitely. basically i'm not planning on becoming an elementary school level teacher. or preschool. or any teacher for that matter. i don't think i could handle it as much as i like to pretend i can. it's been a good experience though. and i appreciate that.
yeah, so that's it.

oh and nicole, i got the third book in the twilight series the other day. haven't started it yet, trying to save it for the plane ride out, but i might give in....

have a splendiferous day!!!

just editing some things out...

so...i cut my hair. now it's layered and angled and not as long as it used to be. i like it though, but i'm kind of sad my long hair is gone. but it was time for a change. and mom happened to offer one. so here are the pictures....
life's still going good. working mostly, but i'm about to go read harry potter so i can finish it before nicole does. or at least that's the plan...
