Done!!!

I am done with Winter Semester!! It feels so good to be done with finals and all. I get a week off, then I am back to more school, but Spring term should be much easier, at least that it what I am hoping! Now I am going to get tan this summer, and try and make some money, if I cna find a good job, which is proving harder than I had hoped for...

Roommates

Well, I realized that I don't have any pictures with all my roommates! This has been a really fun semester, but I haven't documented it... at least not the times with my roommates. I wish I had my camera, but I did just find out that it is fixed and will be receiving it on Friday. So that is good to know! I do wish it was one day earlier because Morgan is leaving to go back to Idaho tomorrow, and I don't have any good pictures of the two of us, but I guess I can just use someone else's camera. This one picture that I have I actually stole from Kim's camera, it was us all dressed up for church on a beautiful Sunday, I hope she doesn't mind, but I wanted to post it... Now, let me explain a little about each girl in order from left to right...
Alyssa: She is way fun! We get a long great! We are planning on living with each other next semester so I am happy. She says the funniest things, always making us laugh! She is also great to talk to. When I am confused I know I can always go to her and she'll help me. I don't know what I would have done without her this semester.
Me: Not much to say... I am amazing!
Kim: She is my actual roommate and I love her! She has the craziest ideas, but it is always fun to hang out with her. We took dance classes together for the past 3 semesters and I always loved having a dance partner. She is going to be a great design advertiser someday... I am not sure if that is the correct term, but she will be great!
Morgan: She moved in to our apartment in February, but I am so glad she did! She always has a ton of guys around her, but it's obvious to see why because not only is she gorgeous, but she is one of the sweetest girls I know. She actually goes to BYU-I but was in Utah for her semester off. She makes me laugh every time I talk to her and I love s
eeing her smiling face! She is amazing at everything, even though I don't think she'd come out and tell you that.
Alison: Amazing. I wish I could somehow make this a poem, but I can't speak or write as well as she can. She is creative and very loving. She is so trusting of people and I admire that. She loves to bake and knows way more people than I could ever imagine. She has such confidence that I love it! She will be a great missionary and I am excited to see where she ends up going.

Why?

Why do people do stupid things? My good friend just got broken up with for no reason! It makes me so mad because I hate seeing him so sad! She said she was ready to marry him and they had a ring all picked out and her parents were all for the marriage, but then she completely flipped and changed her mind and broke up with him. He would have done anything for her and he treated her like a queen. I don't get what she was thinking. I just wish I could understand so I could help him. It is when things like this happen that I realize how important it is to communicate and love someone enough to tell them when you are scared and just how you feel. anyways, I was just frustrated with how she broke up with him, and I know it isn't me, but I am hurting for him! I just want him to be happy.

Festival of Colors

Saturday I went to the Festival of Colors! I believe it is celebrating the coming of spring! We went and had bags of colored corn starch or flour or chalk... whatever the stuff was, and when they lit the bonfire we all threw the colored stuff in the air and jumped around! It was crazy!! It was fun though. I thought I might die a couple either from people trampling on me or from the dust getting caught in my throat, but I'm good now! Now I just have a couple of bruises on my feet, but all good! Also, there were llamas next to us, it was great, but no pictures of them. We looked pretty bad after it was done because all the colors had mixed in the large crowd of people and jumping, so we look really bad, but it was a good fun experience! Russ, Lyssa, Josh and I... and the random couple next to us in one sweatshirt...

Picture Personalities

Today in my Modern Dance class we went to the Museum of Art. Our reason for going was to depict one of the pieces of art into a dance movement. I loved all the paintings, but my favorite pieces were the photographs and the sculptures. I seemed to get more emotion and feeling from them then from the paintings. I went back home and I was looking through my pictures and I found that each person in my family can be expressed through a picture. Some maybe kind of random... but I liked it...
My parents: Best friends forever
Andy: Caring, loving, and easy to talk to
Me: A little bit crazy
Conner: Constantly on his hands and willing to be daring
Mckay: Bright and perfect in every way
Maddy: Perfectly relaxed and chill

Happy Easter!

What a great holiday! We are so blessed to be able to rejoice today because of everything that Christ has done for us. He suffered so that we might return to Him and our Father in Heaven. He was resurrected and we will be too. It is great to remember that life doesn't end here on earth, it goes on for longer than we can imagine.

It is kind of a weird day to me because I have never not been with my family on easter. I was lucky enough to go home last year because Andy returned home from his mission the Friday before Easter. I'm not doing the traditional easter things like looking for eggs, but I am able to focus on Christ and the meaning behind the holiday. I look forward to going to church today. I hope everyone had a great day and was able to spend it with family.this was from last year's easter week with my grandma and grandpa Carey, but until my camera gets sent back I can't add new pictures, but I like pictures, so I'll just keep adding ones from awhile ago...

What the heck!!!

Yesterday started out great! I had to show a piece of my original choreography piece to my modern dance class. I forgot what I had practiced and prepared, so it turned out all funny, but it was over so i was happy. Well, then I went to my history class and all was fine. I came home and got stuff done. I felt it was a productive day. I then went to work and then a geology test review and I was happy because I got out an hour earlier than I do every other day. I thought other people would be happy that I was home earlier too, but I was wrong. Maybe I should have gone back to work for the last hour. I am not a mean person, I only want others to be happy. I want to help others, but I don't always know how. Why do people have to get irritated with me? Am I really doing something wrong all the time? I'm not perfect. I do love my life though and I do love who I am. I love other people and I really just want them to be happy. Gosh, I just want to scream today, so this was the one way I could find a place to get some of it out. I know this must make no sense, but I am ok. I just hope everyone has a good day and smiles a lot.
