So I realized that tonight is my last night in Cedar alone. Sarahbear comes tomorrow night. I'm SO excited. I've been cleaning my house a ton and may I say it looks about as bomb diggity as a college house could look. At least my college house. Oh! I also have BIG news! I AM GOING TO HAVE MY OWN WEBSITE! we're making it for my digital imaging class and I'm SO excited! It's going to have a lot of my art work on it, a little bio about me and any info for people to buy, commission or just ask me questions. And BTW making your own website is a lot harder than it looks. I greatly appreciate the world wide web a lot more now... plus I think it's kinda a cool thing to know how to do. Everyone can use the internet, but can you make your own site? FROM SCRATCH? I can :).
Anyways...I've recently read Alicia's blog and I've been inspired to make a list of things I want to do before I die... they are in no particular order
1. skydive
2. para-sail
3. go to a rodeo
4. visit england
4. visit india
5. be an efy counselor
6. work somewhere where I can have the experience to influence millions of people
7. learn how to hip hop dance
8. own a house
9. buy a piece of furniture from pottery barn
10. visit where I was born
11. get married
12. graduate college
13. get a Masters
14. make a quilt for my Mom
15. have a snail mail pen pal from somewhere exotic
16. do my family history/find out if I'm real royalty or not
17. take a ride in a hot air balloon
18. pet a tiger
19. swim with dolphins

Hot Down Summer In (Cedar) City
Basically Summer in Cedar has been bomb.com. I've had some rough patches here and there but overall I think it's going down as the best first half of summer EVER. I've loved getting to know people so much better, being able to spend time doing my own thang, and not working or going to school for a month was pretty fun too. I think I've learned a lot as well. I'm sad to be leaving, but excited to see what NY will have in store!
These are the girls I've spent most of my summer with. It wouldn't have been half the laughs and half the fun without them. Thank you girlies! (please add in Raquel and Kaily to the picture... mentally). Don't get me wrong, I LOVE boys, but I have yet to find one that is of the same caliber as a sister.
Oh and Michael Jackson... I don't think you were a totally sane person, but I like your music so I hope you rest in peace.
I just think this picture is cute... a couple weeks ago some of us decided we wanted to go to Vegas... we just made it to St. George.
There are so many other things I want to blog about... I guess I just need to blog more often huh? Basically I'd like to say that I'm happy with my life. I'm excited for changes. I miss way too many people to name. And thanks to everyone who has made my 1st half of summer SO SO SO amazing!

Pretty Pinche
So I'm pretty sure pinche is a verrrryyy bad word in spanish, but I don't know what it means really and everytime I ask someone they give me a very round about answer.... so I keep saying it. If I insult anyone by saying it, please forgive me.
There are two reasons I keep saying pinche a lot. First, the puppy I puppy-sit sometimes is really named Bailey, but all of the sigma chi's call her pinche and it's just so cute that I had to start calling her that.
^Pinche the puppy
Also my dear sister Jennie (alpha phi sister) and I were at a party the other night at the Chi Phi's house and everyone was a lil buzzed and they started calling Jennie, even after Jennie insisted she wasn't pinche... so then we called her pretty pinche and she was okay with that. Then someone started calling her J-money, which stuck too.
^J-money aka Pretty Pinche
Basically the reason I'm reciting this story for you all is so that you understand how FUNNY and FUN my life is right now. This story probably wasn't the best example, but it makes me smile. Seriously though, besides pyschology, my life is awesome right now!
I did realize today though that I've been away from a lot of people for a longer than ever time. Like I've been away from my best friend Hannah for what will be SIX months when I see her again. This is simply unacceptable. I've been away from Alicia for 2 months, the longest we've been separated since last summer... but we weren't SO close last summer.And I'm going to visit her next weekend. WOO!!! I've been away from Kaily bean for 2 months as well, but she comes home TOMORROW!!!! And from my parents AND my puppy and all my family for six months. and I MISS MY DOG SO MUCH!... and my family lol.
I'm pretty excited though, my sister Sarah (my real one) is coming to pick me up when I'm done with school! She's flying out from NY into Vegas and then driving from Vegas to Cedar. Then we're going to chill here for a day or two and then chill in Vegas for a day or two! It'll be so fun and I'm excited to just spend some time with her.
As excited as I am to go home I am going to be SO sad to leave Cedar. It really has become my home the past couple of months. Which is kind of sad... because let's face it people, it's Cedar City. In all honesty though I don't think I've ever had a more fun-filled summer. Everynight and everyday I just hang out with friends, we go to movies, to dinner, play card games, go swimming, go on mini-hikes, bake things, make crafts, play rockband, play mario party, go on drives, go to st. george, take pictures, watch SYTYCD and Greek, we have movie night every wed. @ 6, and go to starbucks, we go shopping, we go on walks in the middle of the night, we have KICK-A parties, we go to Denny's at 4am and watch brown bear spill water everywhere. It's so chill here, I can just walk into the Sigma Chi, Alpha Phi, or Chi Phi house and just hang out... It's hard to do that in NY when everything is driving distance away.
I complain a lot about Utah and how the people are so weird and talk weird and wear aeropostale (seriousy... WTH?) but I do love the people. Everyone is so fun.
^denny's at 4am with brown bear
^my friend alex, he's a chi phi, so nice and nice to look at ;)
Well anyways this is a WICKED long post... and I apologize, but I had a lot to catch you all up on! Peace out!

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.
