Hello. It is a beautiful Thursday morning, and I have a little bit of time before my Italian class starts. I would just like to share some thoughts. (I was home all day yesterday because of this awful cold, and I had lots of time to think about some random things.)
Why is John Krasinski so cute? I watched Something Borrowed over the weekend, and he was awesome in it.
My hair has lots of split ends, and my bangs are mangy. I should really get it cut.
I don't know if I already told you this, but I have the same instructor for Italian as I did last year in 101. (It's nice because he's still cute, and I already know what to expect from him and what he expects from me.)
I'm sorry I've been such a terrible blogger, but school is kind of first priority right now. Sleep is the second. Ergo, no time for blogging.
I'm not a fan of the new Facebook. Can't we just leave well enough alone, Zuckerberg, huh?
As convenient as it was for me to live in Provo for school, I'm kind of glad I didn't move back out.
I love my Kindle. I'm so glad I decided to buy it!
I am incredibly grateful for a supporting, loving family and understanding friends.
I really want to dye my hair darker. Hopefully next week that will happen.
Oh, and I just remembered that I forgot to pack a lunch so I'm going to go buy some food from the vending machine. Yum.

My Spazzy Letter
This is a letter that I wrote to a missionary in Argentina. I've never met him, but my roommates told me lots about him. I don't think he ever got this letter, and I can't resend it because he's home now. So for some crazy reason, I have decided to post it to my blog.
Dear Elder Carter,
Ok. I know this may seem kind of weird, because you don’t know me. I was actually roommates with Sherrie Allen (Alder) and Amanda Linton (Pyne) this last year. (Yeah, I hope you knew that they were both married now! My goodness, it seems like everyone is getting married. Weird.) They told me all about their freshman year, which incidentally, also included you. Anyway, Amanda showed me the website that your weekly letters are posted to a few months ago, and I have to confess that I’ve been reading it for while now. I love that you are so positive, and I also love reading about your experiences. And, believe it or not, a few of your posts have given me some clarification that I’ve needed in my life. (See, you’re such a good missionary that you’re even helping people who are still far away!)
Well, I suppose I should tell you a little bit about myself. Let’s face it; it’s only fair. I go to BYU and I’m studying English, because I want to be an editor. If you remember, you should ask Amanda about how stressed I was over my Shakespeare class during winter semester; it was intense. Anyway, moving on. I’m the oldest of five kids; I have three brothers and one sister. My hobbies include reading, watching movies, and hanging out with friends and family. Yeah, not very original, but it’s hard to come up with hobbies on the spot! Favorite color: purple for now, it likes to change. I laugh a lot; seriously, Amanda and Sherrie can both attest to this. I think I should be diagnosed with chronic giggling. It’s THAT bad. Haha, it’s ok though. I prefer it this way. :)
I hope this is sufficient enough for now. To be honest, I don’t really know what else to say. I just wanted to introduce myself and thank you for sharing your experiences while on your mission. If there is anything I left out, let me know; I’d be happy to answer any questions you have! I hope that you have a wonderful day/week/month (I don’t know when you’ll receive this!). You (and all other missionaries) are always in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Aleesha

Happy Schooling
My book load this semester. Let's just hope I don't have to take all of these to class everyday. (Yeah, did you see the three massive anthologies?)
But, I'm excited to not be working tomorrow!
"First day of school, here we go! We're ready to learn, to get some knowledge."

Happy Burfday!
Today, I just wanted to wish my bestest buddy a Happy 21st Birthday!
You are such an inspiration to me, and you remind me that it's ok to be silly every once in a while. (In fact, you've taught me that it's necessary!)
I love our trips to Ikea, Sweet Tooth Fairy, and Plato's Closet.
I love that this has become our song.
I hope you know that I love you, too! You are truly amazing, and I'm so happy we've been able to stay friends for so long :)
Happy Birthday Hannah Banana!

It's Auuuuugh-ust
I can't believe school starts in less than a month. There goes the summer; I barely had time to do anything fun. My family is in Yellowstone this week. Yep, that's right. Without me. Work is sucking the life out of me and won't even give me a break. Such is life, I know.
So, what's been going on with me? Nothing really. I'm working three jobs at the moment. I've also been picking up a lot of extra shifts so that I can pay for my stack of books I need to buy for the new semester, and hopefully, I will have enough left over to buy this toy for myself for my birthday. I'm such a nerd, and I love it!
Other than that I have, started running again, written a spazzy letter to a missionary I've never met before, been inspired to do some creative writing, ordered a new book from my favorite author, and watched a stack of chick flicks. Boring? Maybe, but at least I've been keeping myself occupied.
All in all, I'm ready for a change, but I just don't want that change to be school. Can I just drop everything for once and go be with my family in Yellowstone? Because that's exactly what I need right now. Sigh, oh well. Anyone up for a trip the week before school starts?
