My art is on the internet!

Hey everyone!!!!
So I just discovered something very exciting!!!
Today I was just messing around with stumble upon and what not and got to my teacher for 2D Design's website and guess what I found!ONE OF MY PROJECTS!!!! Isn't that cool?! K here it is...

In this project we had to show a transition of an object and utilize two different types of art. I think mine were realistic to representational? K I can't remember, but it's still way cool!

Idiots

we all have a little bit of idiot in us... some more than others. Or sometimes our idiot side gets the better of us. Like say you like a boy... but you text him ALL the time and it's just like Niagara falls coming out of your mouth and yeah you guessed it your making an idiot of yourself. So, let's try and remember to be less idiotic.
Anyways... summer has been quite uneventful well besides encountering the idiotic side of many people. I've loved hanging out with Kristy and getting to know her better. And it made my day when Sarah and Mikkela came to visit. Love their lives! Michelle is so funny and I'm glad she came down to Cedar for a bit too. I love talking to Alicia and hearing all about how successful "in the real world," she is.
I'm not a fan of everyone telling me I have no purpose cause I have no job. Or the fact that my mirror shattered and fell and broke my glasses :(, but other than that it's been pretty ok. I'm actually excited for school to start. I believe it's quite weird how much I love learning.
I wish I was meeting more people though. I'm done with hanging out with the same old same old and really want to do something different. Like got to Austria or something! I apologize that this post sounds so whiny. I'm sure it's not too fun to read... oh whatever.
In my attempt to be more service oriented I made a care package for my brother and his ex-companion... they were not supposed to get transferred! I wanted to mail everything in one box! So anyways here's a picture of that!

Also... sometimes I doubt my creativity and artistic skillzzzz. But recently I tye dyed some shirts and got all this dye on my hand. Instead of being peeved that it was there I explored the creativity of it. Mucho fun and now I know I'm just a little bit weirder and for sure not a scientist or something cccrazy!

And well... that's all I feel like blogging about today. Peace out

Pride



We're always told that pride is a bad thing. And I think it can be... but maybe not always. Let me give some examples
1. I am proud of myself that I have finally stopped crying that Alicia has left (and the rest of my APhi Family)
2. I'm proud that I totally changed my attitude about summer here in Cedar and have been having a bomb.com time
3. I'm proud of Alicia for doing SO well at her new real person job
4. I'm proud of my brother whose on his mission
And I'm just happy that I'm happy right now. Sure there are things I'd change about my life, but when am I not going to want that? I love my life and I'm happy where I am and am excited to see what happens and where I go :)

WOW


So I was going to add "wow" to my video tonight... but I forgot... so I thought i'd do a blog about it and remind myself to vlog about it tomorrow.
Anyways... there isn't much to say about Wow... it's almost 1 am so I recognize that I probably am not making a lot of sense. Not too much is new in my life since my last blog... Not that my life is boring, because it's been pretty interesting. And lots of fun. it's crazy not to constantly have to worry about homework and to stay up as late as I want and sleep in until whenever I want. It's pretty awesome.
I just realized some of my favorite singers/bands came from England. Like the beatles, Kate Nash, the Arctic Monkeys... sooo that's all I have, but still it just goes to prove how awesome England is.
WOW... I'm reallt tired and have nothing to say. At this point... of my life. K i'm done. I love you all.

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!
