Update on My Life

Well, since the last blog post on here, a lot has happened... For one, I am now graduated from high school! Woo! It is actually quite a relief... Oh, and yes, and I've finally decided, I'm going to stay in this horrible, hot place for college... Where I will most likely have to live with my parents. It all depends on my finances after this summer with working and all. But I am majoring in Human Nutrition, which is based on the downtown Phoenix campus... Which is actually quite nice, if you ask me. I've actually split my classes between Downtown and the Main campus though.

Work... Work is a wonderful thing that somehow makes me tired. Yes, sitting in a chair and yelling at kids makes me tired. Or maybe it could be the sun. If you haven't figured it out yet, I am a lifeguard. I love it, and I love the staff at my pool. They are freakin' awesome!! We are tight, so tight that we are planning a staff camping trip. Oh, and apparently we would risk on of our own to win the Old School Challenge against Greenfield Pool (long story there). But along with it, inservice is really fun! Its amazing that I get paid for it! Hahah. It doesn't seem fair to other people. Too bad this is the last week of public swim. :(

So leaving High School, with work taking up all of my time... I am realizing how difficult it will be to keep in touch with all of the people who I want to... And to decide who I shouldn't try all that hard to keep in contact with. I know it sounds kinda mean... But some decisions just have to be made. Some might not even be made for me, for all I know. But I do know there are some people that I will always be friends with (the whole gilbert gang along with some from mesa. :) ). Its also slightly depressing watching people change now that they feel freedom from school. I don't feel as close to them anymore. Its weird... But they seem like they are becoming LESS mature.

But now a more happy subject! Marissa and Natalie came into town about two months ago... and I've had so much fun with them!! They are amazing girls! I love them so much! They are definitely two of those people that I will always be friends with! We've done so much in that time, a whole blog post should be dedicated to them. But we all know that I'm lazy and that won't happen. While hanging out with Rissa though, I've also hung out with Xochil, who is just way fun. I'm so excited for hanging out with her at ASU next year. I'm sure some great adventures are coming up there as well!

After graduation I had a glowstick pool party with Xochil, Heather, Amber, Lora and Tialene. That was fun. Then I had another one with Heather, Amber, and Whitney, which was also fun.

I did several other things... Such as visit Thatcher with Nat and Riss (saw Heather!). And then we drove up to Tortilla flat...

Took some pictures...

And we even went to Greer!

Where we took more pictures! Hahah. It was very fun.

Most of which is documented through photos on facebook, in much more detail. But now, at the end of the summer... The twins are leaving in a week. Heather left to boot camp today, and everyone leaving to college. It just seems... sad. Makes me thankful that I have friends down here to hang out with... Who aren't abandoning me. (Which brings up the fact that you, Natalie and Marissa, should go to ASU next year. No more abandonment.)

But all in all, it was a pretty great summer. :)

(Ah yes, this post was originally started in June. Its August 2nd now...)

Disappointment... And Revival

Well, there are less than four weeks left of school now!! Its getting so close, its crazy. Yet its still sooo far away, too far. But there are a few bright points that get me through my day. Such as the point that I took my first AP exam today, which means there are only three left! Hurray! And also, sixth hour is very entertaining most of the time, because of the amazing Lora. She does disappoint sometime though... Like when we were going to ditch sixth hour today, and go to Denny's instead. Well, Lora chickened out, and so we actually went to sixth hour. But she did make it up, we went to Denny's after school! Its just not as fun when you aren't ditching though... Its still fun, however. Another one of our many distractions from actually working in sixth hour is our invention,Señor I. Tuss the evil smiley. He is simply amazing. In fact, he is more than amazing. He is the emblem of most seniors, a rendition of the popular "senioritis" disease that haunts us all at one point or another at one point or another. My time is definately now. This whole graduation thing cannot come soon enough... Well, be over with soon enough. Lol.

Last week, I went to the mall with Whitters on Thursday night, which was awesome! I love that girl so much. She is so funny! And then Friday night I went to the New Global Citizens benefit concert, at which I caused Lora to buy a couple raffle tickets (bwahaha). And then the next morning I took my AP bio final. Yay... Saturday night I hung out with Hilso, that wonderfully fun girl that is back from BYU for the summer. Oh what fun! Ahh... I love fun weekends that only have one down point (which would have been the final).

...So a completely wonderful thing coming up is Rissa coming to the states in less than two weeks! I am so freakin' excited, and I can't wait to see her. I am planning to not get any sleep whatsoever once she gets here. A sad part to this is that Nat wont be here until the middle of June. :( I love her so much too!

But anyways, I am really going to try and post on this thing a lot more. Just random little things that don't mean much. But still... I've had lots of adventures that I could just ramble on about, not that any of you who are reading this would really care to see that...

10 More Weeks!

Alright, so I basically only have ten more weeks of the horrible place left (not counting spring break). And then its OVER! And while I am very, very, VERY excited for this, I feel like my future is somehow slipping away... And that it won't work out how I wish it to. Behind this, you have the fact that I feel like a crucial part of my past is... falling apart, dissipating. Why? Well, apparently all of my doctors from my cancer treatment have quit, well except for the one that I dislike greatly. There is no real reason why this should affect me... It just DOES. And on top of that, I don't know if all my plans will work out for next year.

But on a brighter note, Spring Break is next week! I really don't have much plans... And Heather might not be getting her wisdom teeth out, so that does away with my plans to taunt her by eating food. Darn it. I am hoping to get lots and lots of swimming in, though, so that is just amazing and wonderful. I might be going to Sedona with my parents and one or two of my brothers, but I'm not sure yet. I'm just happy that its a rest from school. :) Other than Spring Break... I am now the Laurel President. Its not extremely new news. But its news. And its kinda fun, actually.

Although there is TONS of stuff that I could write on here, I probably wont ever. Heheheh. I just need to post more often... But that probably wont happen either. But this post is now officially over. Peace out, dawg!

The Horizon

Well, college is quickly approaching for me. Oh boy, what excitement, right? Well, its really just been a lot of stress. I've pretty much gotten over going to school every day from 7 am to 3 pm in the noon. I was a real idiot for taking seven classes my senior year... five of them weighted. Yet another thing to add on my list of stupid things I've done. I'm planning, and really hoping, to go to NAU for college, for several reasons. I just feel that its right for me (now convincing my parents of that, will be a little more difficult). Its hard to explain... But I just know it. It will be a little hard to adjust to not living at home next year, I know, but I'll get used it it. Graduation is also nearing, they have our names on lists out in the halls of school so that we can check to see if its spelled correctly. I did have a little glimpse of hope for graduation, however short lived it was, I thought my mom might have forgotten to order a gown for me. No gown, no walking, right? Well, turns out she actually did. Darn... On a happier note, I now have a permit for off-roading! This means my expeditions out into the desert can be a little less short lived. Oh, and the spotlight works on my Jeep again. I'll find a use for that sometime.
