Arizona

These past 5 or so months in Arizona have included some of the best experiences and happiest times of my life. I am loving school and the social atmosphere as well as all the wonderful people that surround me. I have been having a hard time writing on here as well as in my journal so I am trying to figure out a way to encourage myself to write more frequently, but we'll see what happens. I had the best time these past few days with the Flake family. I was able to enjoy spending time with their family for the Thanksgiving weekend and it was a great and fun experience. I'm really grateful for their example to me and that they allowed me to spend time with them these past few days. I have several performances this week with the institute choir, so I am looking forward to that as well as to the end of the semester which is drawing near! I can't believe how fast time is going by! After finals I hope to be able to get a job to make some money and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can figure out a way to get money or something so that I can stay in school next semester as well! Anyway, everything is pretty awesome, but it's getting late and I better go to bed! Hopefully I write again soon! :)

Newfound Desires

So, school ended this week for me and at the beginning of next week I have E2 camp, so I am pretty excited about that. I have also decided that I wanted to get my blog back up and running again and hopefully write at least once a week on it! Today I went to the Phoenix museum of art with Anika and had a pretty good time. My favorite exhibit was the firefly exhibit. It had a bunch of hanging lights in a pitch black room and they were hanging at different lengths and there were mirrors on every side of the room. It was a really cool experience. We almost got lost in there for a bit, which was fun as well. Anyway, I highly reccomend that exhibit to anyone that comes to the Phoenix area!

Snow Day!

Yesterday was the second Monday in a row that we had school off because of snow, which was awesome, but at the same time they now have to reschedule the blood drive. It would have been awesome if it was today because today is national square root day and the last time I donated blood was on 8/8/08. Maybe I will just wait until pi day instead. Haha. (Yes, I am a huge geek and forever will be!)

College Woes

So, I have been accepted to both BYU-I and ASU but I am having a terrible time deciding which one to attend. I am leaning towards ASU but both schools have so much to offer and BYU-I is way cheaper. This weekend I plan on fasting and praying about it and hopefully receiving an answer so that I can get ready for orientation and buy my plane tickets to ASU in April if I have to. My intended major is aerospace engineering, although BYU-I does not currently offer that as a major.

At least one good thing in my life lately is that I am still slowly losing weight. Over the past month and a half or so I have lost 18 pounds and I am half way to what I want to be for a weight for graduation! I am using an amazing website called sparkpeople and I highly reccomend it to everyone. You can keep track of your calories, what you eat, your exercise, and there is a great community of people to chat with on the website. The site has you set realistic goals which is another plus! If you do sign up, my username is jugglerchic so that you can tell them I referred you! ;-)

Anyway, I can't wait for school to be over but I have to pick up the pace on doing homework because I keep falling behind. Hopefully at the end of the school year I will be able to post more often on here! Toodles!
