the first week of classes finished pretty uneventfully. I'm surprised by how relaxed I am about the whole transfer process. There are some things about the UofU that I actually like. It's kind of nice to be anonymous and not feel like you have to be/act a certain way. I always felt limited in my shyness at Covenant but that aspect of school is ( Read more... )

i started classes this morning at the u of u. it is already freaky. first of all there are swarms of people everywhere you look. it's like being in the airport at christmas time everywhere. then there are the crazy "christians" with signs shouting at students as they walk by about the love of jesus being the ONLY love in your life. they are ( Read more... )

Yay!! so erin and my sister are the only ones who know how cute this place is because they've been there...but I got a job at the beehive tea room. this means that I get to wear pretty dresses and skirts and serve tea. i'm so excited. corrie especially would like this job i think ( Read more... )

15 credit hours at the UofU only costs $2,354.68

tonight i looked up what classes i would take in the fall at the U. katie will laugh. it's all science classes and spanish.

i just don't know what it will look like in the end.
but i would be able to pay for it entirely by myself.
and get my own apartment next spring.

last weekend it was rainy and 60 degrees and I couldn't help but think of puddle jumping with katie. le sigh. I was housesitting for these people from my church who have two dogs and two bunnies and I mostly recovered from my irrational fear of rabbits. tom and i rented two terrible movies though and made lots of break and bake cookies ( Read more... )

being at home has been an interesting few weeks already. it's an adjustment to have my parents around, good food all the time and my puppy everywhere. mostly i'm happy. i need to go find a job today. i put it off all last week because my sister was here visiting but now I really must find work. school started and has been okay. i miss being ( Read more... )

huh...mostly that is what i've been thinking for the past hour. my hard drive crashed on my mac this weekend. my entire belief system has shattered. how could a mac powerbook fail me? so depressing. more than that I lost my entire modern britain paper the night before it was due, because i don't back up, because i had a mac. now i'm trying to ( Read more... )

t-minus 25 hours and counting until paper is due. am officially freaking out.
is it strange that in order to write a good paper i need to talk to myself out loud
as if I were giving a presentation about it and then write what i'm saying.

ican'tthink.ican'tthinkanymore.

i just got a sunburn. my brother is supposed to be coming in town except his phone got stolen so i have no idea how i'm supposed to know when he gets here. working on my paper turned into taking a nap in the sunshine (hence the sunburn). no idea what's happening with school next year. trying not to worry about anything and just put one foot in ( Read more... )

i am ready to go home. but the thought of changing again, saying goodbye and leaving again-i don't have words for it. so i do the same thing i did at the end of last year which is listen to damien rice, go to the gym a lot, laugh when i can and work hard until the end. and when it's over, walk away the best that i can expecting nothing else.
