Well hey guys. So it’s been like, forever since I’ve posted anything. Sad day. 

I do have an excuse though. And that excuse is……………

College.

It’s been pretty hectic, but I’m LOVING it. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done in my life so far. All 18 years, 304 days, 14 hours, and 49 minutes of it. (I did the math. Only by the time I actually post this it won’t be accurate… Oh well.)

I’m only taking twelve credits this semester, to kind of transition slowly into the ginormous load of work that college is supposed to be. Only it hasn’t been that bad for me so far. I’ve had almost no homework. I’m taking Children’s Literature, General Botany, Introduction to Visual Arts, and Book of Mormon. Children’s Lit I think is my favorite. We spend an hour and a half reading kids books. It’s amazing.

I still don’t know for sure what I want to major in, unfortunately. I mean, Fashion Design is something that I would absolutely LOVE to do, but they don’t have that major here. That means I would have to just get my associates, and then transfer somewhere that they do have it. We’ll see what happens.

Well, I better go. I have to go walk to Walgreens to pick up my oil paints from my sister-in-law who is currently at work, and then I have to go to Wells Fargo which I’m hoping isn’t too much farther.

I had better lose weight here.

Stupid crazy life.

I wish I could just die.

Just kidding.

I don’t really. 

I have been so ridiculously busy for the last… like… ever. I haven’t been able to get on and blog since… When was my last one? I don’t even know.

I think I’m going to say to heck with my stupid little outline. Unless I actually feel like telling you what I’m listening to. Right now all I’m listening to is my sister filing her nails. It’s not the most interesting thing in the world, but whatever. 

I’m kind of bored of my layout. Or whatever the heck you call it on tumblr. Is that right? Hm. Anyways… So I’m really just saying a whole lot of random crap that nobody probably wants to hear. And I think tumblr is extremely confusing. Oh well. I’m going to find a different layout thingy and then go to sleep. Goodbye!

What I’m listening to: I’m actually not listening to anything right now… I’m watching Spiderman. Good movie. :] 

What I was doing five minutes ago: Driving home and drinking a half-price cranberry limeade from Sonic. I love Happy Hour.

One thing I did today: I slept over at my best friend, Leah’s house last night. But after midnight it’s considered today right? Anyways. So one of our friends came over and just hung out with the two of us until like, two in the morning. We watched Phantom of the Opera and just chilled. It was way fun. Okay so we didn’t actually WATCH the movie, persay, but it was on. We actually spent most of the time goofing off. Austin is the kind of guy anyone can talk to about anything. Seriously. ANYthing. He decided to share a pretty nasty random fact with us to prove that he was a nerd. I so didn’t want to know it. Ew. 

Anyways… So since that was after midnight, it counts as something I did today. Because I really didn’t do much else. 

Suggestion/Recommendation: The book Fairest by Gail Carson Levine (author of Ella Enchanted). It’s super good. Here is the description from Amazon:

“Once upon a time, there was a girl who wanted to be pretty …

Aza’s singing is the fairest in all the land, and the most unusual. She can “throw”t her voice so it seems to come from anywhere. But singing is only one of the two qualities prized in the Kingdom of Ayortha. Aza doesn’t possess the other: beauty. Not even close. She’s hidden in the shadows in her parents’ inn, but when she becomes lady-in-waiting to the new queen, she has to step into the light—especially when the queen demands a dangerous favor. A magic mirror, a charming prince, a jealous queen, palace intrigue, and an injured king twine into a maze that Aza must penetrate to save herself and her beloved kingdom.”

I totally recommend this book. It’s a new take on the classic fairy tale Snow White. I will admit that it isn’t as good as Ella Enchanted, but it’s still awesome. Gail Carson Levine is amazing.

That is so how I’m feeling today. If you have that MSN smiley, you know what I’m talking about.
What I’m listening to: Time is Running Out by Muse.
What I was doing five minutes ago: Looking up ways to reduce under eye puffiness.
One thing I did today: Flipping tried to get rid of under-eye puffiness. :arg face.
Suggestion: Don’t use home remedies for above mentioned crisis. They don’t work. I just tried them.
Food for thought: Why?
Okay that was lame. I know. But I’m tired. And my eyes HURT. They’re all red and puffy. I was supposed to go with my two brothers, my mom, and my aunt, uncle, and cousins, to the temple just now, but I couldn’t go because of my stupid eyes. And I can hardly see. I really wanted to go too. I love going there. It’s so peaceful, and beautiful. What makes me sad, is that this was pretty much the last time I can go to this temple for a while because I’ll be up in Idaho at school. There is a temple there, and it’s beautiful too, but it’s not the same as MY temple here. I’m really going to miss it.
Anyways… That’s pretty much my day so far. I kind of woke up about… 45 minutes ago.
I think I’m going to go back to sleep. Since I really don’t have anything else to do…
Adios!

P.S. I may be back later with another post. Because maybe something more exciting will happen than me having puffy eyes.

So I had this idea while I was brushing my teeth a couple of minutes ago. I’m hoping that maybe, possibly, it will help me remember to post every day. (Or at least almost every day.) 

My posts will follow a certain outline.

What I’m listening to: (Music makes my world go round. =] )

What was I doing five minutes ago: (This could be interesting. I tend to blog at really random times. Like right now for instance when five minutes ago I was brushing my teeth.)

One thing that I did today: (Hopefully my days will not be so boring that all I can say is “I sat.” Or “I read a book.” Because that would be boring.)

Food for thought: (Probably some random question that I happen to come up with on the spot.)

And then we’ll see where that goes. Maybe I should have a suggestion or something… Like, a book recommendation, or a movie recommendation… That’s a good idea. It’ll give me something else to talk about, and therefore take up space. 

Okay, now I’m really going to bed. Goodnight for real!

I’ll tell you why. Because Lo (who I am NOT allowed to call by her full name) said so. 

Because she can’t make up her flipping mind about which blogging site she wants to use. And she made me follow her to tumblr. Okay not really. I was kind of intrigued by it when she showed me hers. She didn’t really HAVE to force me. 

Heck… She never really could anyways. Since we don’t exactly live anywhere NEAR each other. Oh well. 

Anyways. I really don’t know what I should be posting about. I pretty much always forget about my blogs and stuff. Then something will remind me like, a month later and I’ll go write something. Haha.

I suppose only time will tell if I remember that I even have this… I’ll probably post a few times and then kind of just stop… Like I have on my blog. Whoops…

Goodnight!
