friday letters.

dear shane: thanks for working so hard all of the time. you are superman. seriously!

dear next week: please go by super fast. for one, i do not want to work. and two, i would like to be in texas with the family. k, thanks.

dear spring semester: it's been...fun? not really. but thanks for finally being over. 

dear weather in utah: although i will be away from you in two weeks, i expect it to stay warm once i return. none of this eighty degrees one days forty degrees the next anymore.

dear pintrest: thanks for always being there when i've been board at work.

i've discovered that i'm super good at keeping up with other people's blogs and checking them on a regular basis to see if anything new has been put up BUT that i am super bad at keeping up with mine. oops! something to work on i suppose.

so basically this second semester of life out here in utah is much better than the first in more ways than one. for starters: i know my way around this area a ton better than when i first got here. 2nd: i know my way around school more and am enjoying my classes a lot better than i did last semester. third: although caitie philips [aka: blair waldorf] moved away from me this semester and i'm super sad about it, i'm surprisingly not as lonely as i thought i would have been thanks to mister shane sanders!

he is the new boy friend :)

we've been dating for a little over a month now and

we're having tons of fun.

this semester in school i'm taking psychology, nutrition, chemistry, and health. for the most part i like all of my classes [chemistry being the exception] and have passed ALL of my tests i have had in those classes so far :) *go me!* this next week is midterm week though, so hopefully those good test taking grades will stay up.

weirdly enough this semester is half way through, which means only 2 more months of school and then it's SUMMER TIME! :D i'm rather stoked about this! summer happens to be my favorite season, not only is it nice and warm [plus humidity in good ole tejas!] BUT there is no school! for me anyways! a break will definitely be needed by then.

so basically...that's about all that's been going on.

brett, princess abbie, alicia, and new baby brinlee are coming down in a week! i'm so excited! i haven't seen them in FOUR MONTHS! :0 pictures will be taken, laughter will be made, and fun will be had! no questions asked! :)

anywho-i have no more to say in this post...soooooo, adios my friends!

finals to now time!

so-i noticed today that i haven't posted anything since finals time. and i thought i should probably change that before i got too far behind and didn't remember what all happened.

finals about killed me...my biology one anyways. caitie and i stayed in the library for a week and a half until 12 PM-1 AM each night. it was a lonnngggg week and a half but it paid off in the end. both caitie and i got a good enough grade on our biology final that we passed the class! there was much celebrating because of it! i also passed all of my other classes as well, which i was really grateful for.

went back to good ole texas for the christmas holidays :) i love going back home now that i'm not there all the time and not able to see my family and friends on a regular basis. christmas was great, i was able to spend a lot of my time with my family which i was really grateful for!

i was somewhat excited to go back to provo and somewhat not. i miss texas so much while i'm here in provo but while i was home i didn't feel like i had a "real" place for myself. i didn't have a room anymore, none of my stuff was there. so i was ready to get back to provo and have my space again but i do miss my family and friends a lot like always. i've started a new semester at utah valley university..or UVU :) i have really come to enjoy this school a lot more than i expected. all of my classes this semester are pre reqs for me to get done so hopefully by the fall of 2012 i can apply for the nursing program and continue on the path to become a nurse and specialize in neonatal (aka babies in the nursery). so far so good with my classes but chemistry is on the fence...i have a feeling like it will be another difficult one much like my biology one last semester, but i'm hoping for the best right now. other than that things are good!

this past weekend maddie and her friend rachel came down from byu-i so it was fantastic to have them here :) i always have tons of fun when maddie comes down...still in the process of trying to talk her into moving down here..that would be AWESOME!!! anywho-here are some pictures of us from this past weekend...

there are SOCKS in the vending machines at a bowling ally

me and maddie moose :)

ha! lonnngggg story!

maddie and i at the salt lake temple at night!

maddie and shane!

sadly enough caitie also left me this past weekend to ventured off to california... :( i miss her lots already but hopefully she'll be back soon to visit. until then we plan to have skype dates to watch the bachelor and gossip girl and possibly grey's anatomy together :)

before she left saturday morning, caitie, me, and her roommate jenny (also a friend of mine) took a picture for old times sakes :)

well, thats pretty much a brief catch up of whats been going on since finals time til now! i'm looking forward to all the other fun things that will be happening this semester! :)
