Home At Last

Well this week was fantastic! My good friend Jordon returned home from his mission this week and on his way home from Thailand he stopped in Hawaii and I was able to spend some time with him! His dad in the stake president so he was able to release Jordon as a missionary, it was so fun to spend time with them! I feel a little bad because I feel like I was probably the WORST as writing him! But he forgave me :]
We went to the Punch Bowl Veterans Memorial (it is similar to Arlington), we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, which was fun, and so exciting. I was so sad for them because the whole time they were here the weather was really cloudy and rainy, except for thursday afternoon it got nice and sunny so we rushed to the beach and were able to catch some waves while watching so impressive surfing! It was great, the weather was perfect for the beach. I hope they had a really good time because I know I did :]
I forgot how much I missed him! He has changed! His legs grew longer (which I didn't even think was possible), he put on 40 pounds, and he is now able to touch his palms to the ground without bending his knees AND he does that yoga meditation sitting pose where your practically sitting on your feet when you are cross legged! What?!? This is coming from the guy who when we would have game nights refused to sit cross legged because it hurt! It was crazy haha but I am just happy that I was able to spend all of the time with them... even if it means that I have LOADS of make-up work to do ;) hahaha

And So It Begins!

This is going to be a long entry so hunker down, and grab some popcorn before diving into this one. I am going to start with winter break, I LOVED it!! I had so much fun with my family playing poo head, it was great I got to , and I loved seeing my friends!! Lizzy, Austin, Madi, Logan, Collin, and I all got together and did a friend photo-shoot and it was so fun (I'll put some of the pictures up), I love goofing off with them and it was nice to get some new fun and cute pictures to hang up on my bulletin board. I loved eating my mom's cooking! I was DELICIOUS :] I didn't realize how much I loved having someone else do my laundry until I came home haha it was good to catch up with everyone, and give everyone hugs. I think that is one of the things I miss most is being able to give everyone hugs. But all good things must end and I flew back on the 3rd of January.

Ok os here is Winter Semester, I'm not going to lie I HATED my first week. Let's start at the beginning. I was really excited to take this sculpting class this semester, but in conflicted with work, I didn't feel like it was a big deal because it was a lab. Meaning that, the class was was for 2 hours on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Ok so let's be real, what teacher is honestly going to be talking at the class for 2 hours 3 times a week?? Especially with something so hands on like sculpting. So I went up to my teacher the second day of class and told him that I would have to leave about an hour early everyday because I work. And he looked at me and said "No."... thats it just "no" and I said "well, not working isn't really an option", then he answered "No" and stared at me... (he is obviously not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed). So I just walked out, I didn't know what to do, I had already bought everything for the class and some of it wasn't returnable. I needed that class to fulfill me credit requirement for living in the dorms and I didn't know what I was going to do. I thought my roommate was in class so I had already started crying before I had opened the door. I was just so frustrated about being back at school when I wanted to be home. I loved being home for Christmas Break, and was having a rough adjustment period, and having to drop the sculpting class was just the straw that broke dam that was holding my tears in. I eventually just let everything out and all was well... NOT!! But I did end up signing up for a music class... so I hope that will be fun.

So my roomie and I moved rooms which is good, considering our original room was designed for only one person to reside in it. Well everything was grand we rearranged the furniture in the new room to open up some space and the room looked great. The only down side was that I wasn't used to listening to the goings on of the basket ball court, which now fills my ears every time I walk in my room. And really!?!? WHO PLAYS BASKETBALL AT 6 IN THE MORNING??? because obviously someone does because I hear them and it wakes me up to early and they play into the late night, keeping me awake. As well so it took awhile for me to adjust to the sound so it wouldn't disrupt my sleep. Well just a few days ago I kept waking up with these bumps all over my arms, and my first thought was mosquitos, but they didn't look like mosquito bites to me. So my mind jumped to bed bugs, but I have it on good authority that you can see some of the bed bugs on your mattress if you have them. I inspected my mattress and there was no sign of bed bugs... well then I was stumped until someone mentioned to me that it might be ants.... well as you have previously read, I have already had ant problems and they never bit me. But I decided to check it out anyway and that day when I pulled back my sheets (which are brown) in broad day light, I could see the little ant scuttling away... GROSSSS! I don't know why they were there because I change my sheets every week and I was just so fed up with Hawaii, after taking off my sheets and going on an ant killing spree, I just broke down. I had a god long cry and got ALL of my frustrations out in about an hour. I now have white sheets on my bed and I don't sleep with a blanket because it is brown and I don't want to attract the ants with a camouflage... But I haven't had any ant problems so far, which is good.

Well wednesdays are my extremely busy for me, and usually quite stressful and that is tomorrow, but this week as been SOO much better than last week so I am thinking that tomorrow wont be so bad. I cannot even tell you how wonderful my day was today. I got to go to Book of Mormon and I got to go to my Entrepreneurship Lecture series today, and I love both of those classes and I got out of Physical Science early today so there was just good going all around today! And I think I am going to be able to go to bed early tonight! Such a good day!! Wonderful!!
