i'm already done.

Three more classes to go.
One more paper to turn in.
One more day of work.

And then put me on a plane to Florida. Where I can pretend that I don't have to take 4 finals. Even though I do.

Tomorrow.

I finally found the testing center today.

christmas memories

Overall, I've noticed that the Christmas Holiday tends to spawn commercialism and stress in the majority of all participants. Breakdowns occur, fights happen, and there are lots of tears. Thankfully I can say that this Christmas has by far topped the others in recent years.
This year I will remember Jeffrey's hilarious personality and excitement as he suddenly transformed into a 5 year old with ants in his pants, desperately excited to open his presents.
I'll remember being surprised with Harry Potter 7 part 2, the only surprise I got, and the one I loved the most.
I'll remember buying myself a whole black wardrobe for Christmas so that when I (hopefully) get a hostess job at the restaurant I'm working at now, I'll have suitable things to wear.
I'll remember eating SO MUCH amazing food, both at home and at Grandma's.
I'll remember spending time with family and enjoying their company.
I'll remember how Cammie and I had the hiccups ALL DAY LONG. They switched between us. It was out of control.
I'll remember having a date with HP. Parts 1 and 2. Happening now.

Merry Christmas to all!

that flighty temptress, adventure

My Thanksgiving break was spent watching a lot of Bones. An exorbitant amount actually. I feel kind of pathetic about it actually.

And now I'm back in Rexburg for three more weeks of chill and school. And I have some goals:
1) Continue my Facebook fast and limit media to a negligible amount.
2) Avoid the grocery store by eating all of the rest of my food. And perhaps going without a little bit.
3) Do away with procrastination. Get homework done early and with a chipper attitude.
4) Pass all of my seven classes.

I'm ready to truck through til the end. And then, starting January 4th, I become an official Cougar. I feel great about that.

Oh also, fun fact for the day. I'm thinking about becoming a humanities major and doing study abroad in London next year. And I'm going to Harry Potter world over spring break. Way to the yeah.

troll bogeys

Wand: Check.
I'm ready to face my troll.
Also, check out my hair. I full out straightened it for the first time in months. It's terrifying how long it's gotten.

ps, i dropped the simple joy in the title...it was too complicated.

However, that doesn't mean that I am not recognizing the simple joys in my life.
Examples; my job, babysitting my favorite kids, watching bones with my sis every night (although I dont' know how I've managed to escape nightmares. Watching a show about death and grossness right before bed and all), my job (which I'm sad to leave), listening to Harry's adventures at work, paid lunches on the clock, popsicles on break, heading up to Rexburg for my FINAL semester, the future.

I have such great things going for me right now. It's unreal.

I'm so excited to embark on my final sprint at BYU-I. It's been a great experience up there but I'm SO EXCITED to leave it. I'm excited to go meet new people, date new boys, do new things. It will be a lot of work, 18 credits, a (very) part time job, new apartment, new roommates. There's a lot of unexpected awaiting me. The only thing I know with certainty is that as soon as I get comfortable, something happens in my life to make me struggle, writhe, wiggle, fight, and eventually come to accept something new. And that my friends, is how we grow.

simple joy: harry potter

My co-worker and I (since we are the same person), share a deep and passionate love for Harry Potter. We talk about it all the time, discussing each little nuance in detail.

This week we started listening to the Harry Potter books at work. We finished the first one yesterday. What a great idea. Work flies by and I look forward to heading back to our mosquito infested, humid warehouse type area just so I can enjoy the world that J.K. Rowling has spun with another true fan. Yes, we get made fun of like crazy, but it's so worth it.
