Cali Trip Photos + Filling in on the goings on...

Here are the California pictures I promised a very long time ago.  It was such a fun trip; super relaxing - just what I needed.  Anyone who wants to go in the summer time - let me know - I'm going with you!



















Well, so sorry for my leave of absence.  It has been a crazy couple of weeks.  I don't even know what to tell you about first.

My Shakespeare midterm was an exciting feat.  4 essays.  Single spaced.  Analyzing all of the plays we have read to DEATH.  (I've decided I never want to read Hamlet, Othello, or Merchant of Venice ever again.  I'm hopefully done with them for life.  However, since I am an English major, that probably will not be the case.  Oh well.)  It was really really hard to get these essays done.  She gave us two weeks to do the essays - However, I spent one week reviewing, and decided to spend the other week writing.  However, that last week, I didn't have ANY time to write.  So I wrote it the weekend before it was due - I even pulled an all-nighter (my first ever, as sad as it sounds) to finish it.  I averaged about 4 hours an essay.  Yuck.  Because of that, I refused to do any readings for that class this week.  I needed a break.

The rest is not as dramatic - I've had tests, and survived them all.  Now, I just need to bide my time until finals.  The sad thing is finals will not be as bad as these last few weeks of midterms.  In fact, finals as of right now, are looking like a piece of cake.

I'm itching to move back home to Lehi.  I miss my family and I'm tired of having no money.  One more month!  I'm going to try and quit Robert's too.  I'm convinced that place is sucking the life out of me.  So, if any of you hear of any job offers near Lehi for the summer that pay well - let me know.  I would greatly appreciate it, and love you forever!  I've got one I'm looking into right now - the pay is $10, but I don't know if there will still be an opening next month.  Even then, it's not going to give me enough hours.  I would still need a part time job on top of that.  Yay for money.  Not.  I hate money.  It's so dumb - can't I just knit you a sweater, and trade you for a book?  Can we go back to that?

Lastly, I'm thinking about serving a mission.  It's been on my mind a lot since September.  I was thinking I wanted to go in December, but now I'm thinking probably not until next year - I'm not quite ready yet, haha!  It's a big decision, and I'm not sure what I want to do.  I still have a lot of thinking and praying and talking to certain people before I decide.

So, now you're all caught up on my life.  It's still boring.
Happy Sunday!
