Summer so far

As of today I am official fan of Summer 2009 Cedar City, UT. Sure it's not super easy to find fun things to do here, but once you try it's pretty dang fun.
Saturday I was not such a fan.

As you can see by this picture... I am clearly laying on my bed in frustration of indecisiveness... okay okay I know I am smiling, but put me in front of a camera and I always smile... or make a stupid face. Seriously though, I had such a crummy idea of what this summer was going to be like, but as soon as I decided to have positive thoughts about it, it got better! Just goes to show you, your attitude makes your experience!
I still haven't found a job yet, but there's a slight chance I might... stupid economy.
And Alicia is coming TOMORROW. WOOOOOO!
I miss my family a lot and it does kinda suck to think that I could be with them right now, and I could have an awesome full time job back home. But sometimes you just need to suck things up and take it how it is. This is also easier said than done. But I think it's worth it...I kinda just lost track of what I was talking about... but it sounded wise.
Well it's been lovely. Ps I still need to clean my room. Lame sauce.

Alicia is gone :(... my family is gone :(

So yesterday Alicia left me.. forever! Ok ok not forever, until Tuesday... but that's when we really have to say goodbye. I didn't even get to see her graduate because I was stupid working... and I didn't get to have dinner with them either. So on the way home from working I just cried my eyes out. I wanted to grab a stranger, look them in the eyes and say, "ALICIA IS GONE!" but that'd be a creeper thing to do so I just called my mom and told her. I know her and I will ALWAYS be friends... but it won't be the same as living with her. This is one of those excellent times to use the phrase, "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." and okay okay that phrase is true, but gosh darnit I am sad! I am grateful for everything she's given me and I don't think I would have made it through this semester without her. I remember when I first started CSIS, Kaily and I were sitting in my room and I was have a nervous breakdown. Alicia came in and read the book to me. She was so patient, nice and helpful. I really am happy for her, even though it doesn't seem like it!
This is funny... Alicia and I a little over a year ago

Alicia and I at formal (I told you I'd put a picture up of us!)

Also it's not bad enough that Alicia had to leave, Kaily left for Salt Lake on Friday and flies back to Chicago today, and Sharlene is leaving today for Salt Lake. Basically my closest and best friends are all leaving! It's okay though, I'm having a positive attitude and this summer IS going to be fun! I will miss my A Phi family though, and I can't wait for us all to return to each other... someday!
Sharlene and I... a year ago at Red Dress

Sharlene and I... and Alicia :) at Roommate dinner a couple of days ago

I'd put up pictures of Kaily and I... put I think that'd make my post too long, so I'll do that another day.

Last Day

Today is the last day of school. I did my last art project... well for 2D design at least, this morning. I have to write a paper for it too, I haven't done that yet. I really think I am in the top ten of world's best procrastinators.
Also, I love eminem's new song, We Made You. It's my new jam.
HAHAHAHA after formal Alicia said, "Why didn't we have a real dessert... I wanted Jam!"
:( She leaves tomorrow. But her, Ashley, Rachel and I had an awesome time at her cabin last weekend. I'm so proud of her and so excited to hear about all the amazing fun things she does. I can't wait for us to open up our time capsule. Summer 2019 or Bust!
Alicia officially graduates tomorrow, and since I recently got a one time photo assistant job for that day I won't be able to see her... except on a big screen t.v. That count though right? Well Alicia, I love you to death and I'll miss you bunches, but I'll still read your blog and call you all the time :).

We went out for a roommate dinner to wingers the other night. It was SO fun... even though everyone thought i was being a party pooper because I didn't want to write my hopes and dreams inside a ballon and let it go :p.

So I'm a little sad I'm not going home for summer. I miss my family SO much. July will come soon enough though and i'm SO excited for Sarah, Randy and Amanda to come out and visit. WOOOOO.
Oh, and Hannah, I hope you have SO much fun in China, I'm crazy jealous. You better bring me back a bomb.com present, and please not a shirt that says, "I climbed the great wall." Sarah gave me one of those when she came back from China... it was ugly.
All in All it's been a good school year though, I've learned a lot about myself, laughed harder than I thought I could, saw Shar's butt way more times than I'd have liked to, and made friends forever... so what if that sounds tacky. I can't wait to see what summer and fall bring!

Formal 2009

I love Alpha Phi... a lot.
Formal was a ton of fun this year! I had an awesome date. Jonathon is such a good sport and a lovely person for taking so many pictures for me! I feel bad though, I wanted to talk to everyone and him, but I felt like I had to constantly ignore someone!
Also I'd like to say that I hate when people tell you to do something and then they go and do exactly what they told you not to do. WHAT THE HECK!? REALLY?!???!!? PLEASE TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE. That's all I'd like to say on that matter... I feel better now.
Hannah, I miss you.
It's one in the morning. I want to be in bed. Instead I'm in the back room of our house on our guest bed. It's really quite frustrating when you want to go to bed, like REALLY want to go to bed, but you can't. Like you physically can not do it. I feel like I'm a patient person, but not when you mess with my rest.It's like this terrible cycle. I get tired and want to go to sleep, but then I can't, and then when I wake up I'm so tired and grumpy cause I didn't get enough sleep that I'm angry all day and then when I want to go to bed later and I can't then I get even more grumpy. Of course I can control my own feelings, but this is my blog danggit. I do wha i wan!ahhaahahhaha oh dear.
Alicia. I love you. Please don't leave, your my sanity.
I can't wait to go home. I love Cedar, I really do. But i miss my car, my job, my family and my dog way too much.
Okay well enough complaining Kady. Here are some pics from formal! Enjoy!
This is Morgan, Kaily and I (not in that order). I love Morgan! I'll miss her!

My Bomb.com date and I! You wish you were this cool :p

Ian and I... oh Ian.

I'm trying to be a sexpot.

My Sincerest Apologies

First of all why do red grapes taste WAY better than red grape juice?
Second of all I'm so sorry for not updating my blog in FOREVER. I haven't been like overly busy I just haven't felt like updating it. But as I read Shar bear's blog I was inspired. In order to make this post make a little sense I'm going to work backwards chronologically.
Last night was Relay for Life and it was SO MUCH FUN!We had a little Greek party up by the torch and watched the show Greek and played wii and had a bbq.Seriously, so fun. And when it was my turn to go on the track at 11pm I RAN THE WHOLE HOUR. I didn't even think I could do that! And, okay it was more like jogging for an hour, but i was still pretty happy with myself at the end of my hour. While I was running I kept thinking about cancer (cause that's what Relay for Life is about... well finding a cure for it) and I just thought about what a strange thing it is. I love this picture of Jonathon and I... except he looks like he's going to kill someone... eeek!

Here's another picture from last night of Shar and I and our dear friend Nick Adams. Love him to death.

Wednesday and Thursday night Shar and I went hot tubbing. We went at Stadium way and now we're both pretty sure we have some disease on our butts. Overall, I would not recommend hot tubbing there... but it was fun!
Oh also on Thursday Nick L. and I went to rescue Kaily and Shannon from the mountains by La Fiesta. They decided to go on a hike, and didn't realize it was going to snow! Ps it's been freezing cold and kinda snowy all week here :(. So Nick got her car out of the mud the first time then on the way down she REALLY got stuck and we had to call Nick's Dad. It took about two hours to get them completely off the mountains. It was kinda fun though... at least I had fun.
Tuesday night, wow I really can't remember what I did.
Monday night- oh this night was kinda eventful... sorta. I went over to Gage's house and watched Jeopardy and I am Legend and played with roommates adorable dog, that looks kinda like a tiger! It's so cute! Monday I also went to the zoo with Shar and her family! It was so fun, except I REALLY hate monkeys. They creep me out and I just don't like the way the look at me... stupid monkeys. I probably had a bad experience with one as a child... but I don't remember it. I do however like the giraffes.

I spent our long Easter weekend up at Sharlene's house. She has a total of six siblings including herself, but it was still a lot for me. I
loved that there was always someone we could do something for or someone we could talk to, but I got a little overwhelmed on actual Easter when her whole family plus babies came. It was fun but I felt a little out of place and I missed my own family like cccrazy. Everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming and I really like her little sister Sabrina. She was funny. I got to meet pretty much her ENTIRE family, and so here's a picture of her lil Sis Sabrina, Me, Shar and Her G'ma.

The weekend before Easter I got to attend the Sigma Chi formal in Mesquite! I went with Jonathon and he is just such a sweetheart. I love spending time with him, he is just SO funny... and he thinks my stories are funny, in reality they're not. I appreciate whatever laughter I get though.

Nothing else really epic happened before Easter... that I can remember. So once again, my apologies. I promise I'll be better.

Slow Mo

This picture has nothing to do with anything I'm about to say, but we always say no one reads your blog if you don't have a picture... so that's my picture^. It's from when I got my nails done. I was being a raptor/dinosaur thing!
Anyways this blog is short. I just wanted to share about how I went running yesterday (When it was snowing!... I'm hardcore like that) and I twisted my ankle. I'm supposed to be in yoga right now, but I'm not because of my ankle and I'm a little sad. I like yoga!
Alright, that's all I wanted to say. I'm in the library supposedly working on homework. Peaceeee Out!

Spring Break

WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN!
First of all let's start with a preface. I've decided as a person that I often let my emotions govern my actions. This isn't always the way things should work since sometimes my emotions aren't very logical. That being sad I've decided to make a Pro and a Con list of my Spring Break (And i just loveeee making lists :) )

7. I have a lot of laundry to do
