Sister Bird
It has been a couple of months since I've been on this thing...I don't even really know where to start to catch myself up on the last two and a half months of my life...
School
Went really well this past semester. I kicked butt in my Visual Media Class. I had two projects that were deemed "Best in the Class." Can I just tell you how amazing that felt?! They were both hard but turned out great. One was an inspirational poster I made. We had to use a quote and combine at least two pictures to make the poster. I quoted Nietshcze...
"It is no doubt possible to fly, but first you must know how to dance like an angel."
I had an old roommate take pictures of me dancing outside. Yes, it was in Idaho, so yes there was snow all around. And I was barefoot. And the pictures rocked. Hard core. If you want to see the psoter and pictures, go look at my facebook.
The other project that rocked was a New Era I designed. We had to make the cover and three body pages. I had so much fun with it. Mine was voted Most Likely to be a New Era. That's a huge comliment seeing as some of the other ones were just amazing.
Oh, and my last project was sweet too! We had to do a personal project and use all three programs we were taught this semester (Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop). I made a sweet DVD cover, like the sleeve. And I made the cover for the actual DVD. It's supposed to be for a DVD that would showcase my dancing. So the sleeve has some sweet pictures on it and I made a graphic out of myself that looks amazing and put that on the actual DVD. Again, I had way too much fun with it, it rocked, and people in the class said they were tired of me making them look bad. haha. Yay me!!
Um, boys. I dated my FHE brother for like a month after I broke up with Cortney. I thought he was an amazing guy. He was real good to me until the very end. I don't know what the heck happened, even still. All of a sudden he was gone, back in California, and I still haven't heard from him. That was well over a month ago. Weird. Anywho, he ended up being a jerk so it was real easy to get over him. Thank goodness, I was tired of having to get over guys!!
Like a week after I came home I met a great guy. Like really, just about everything I want in a man. Seriously. Nice, good looking, very spiritual, driven, fun, outgoing, business minded, self motivated, successful, hardworking, caring... the list goes on and on. Yet, it didn't click. I don't know why. I think it may have clicked for him, but not for me. He thought so highly of me, and that's never really happened. For once I found someone that thought I was amazing and it was so refreshing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I only want guys that think I'm amazing because I think I'm amazing, it's just nice to have someone tell me that I'm doing things right. It's something I've always worried about and to know that somebody recognized that and appreciated it was really really nice. We went on a couple of dates and I wish things had been different. He really is a great guy and any girl would be dang lucky to end up with him, but I guess it won't be me. Maybe I was intimidated because I didn't have to do the chasing for once. I'm used to having to work hard in a relationship and really putting myself out there for guys, but this time I didn't have to. Maybe it turned me off, I don't know. But we still talk and hopefully we will hang out again soon.
Now I'm home working at my dad's office. It's okay. It's decent money but dang, I really better end up with a job I love. I don't know how people allow themselves to get stuck in jobs they hate. I loathe getting up every morning and there's no way I can imagine doing this for the rest of my life. College and hard work there really sounds good to me now seeing as it will help get me a job, and eventually career, that I love.
I'm having a great time with my friends and soaking up the sun at the beach. I'm going tomorrow! I'm getting super tan and loving it. I do miss Idaho though. I can't deny it. I love it up there. I love the people, the school, the freedom... man I miss it!
Now for the big news! I'm going on a mission! I'm starting my papers on Sunday and I'm doing it! I'm not pulling out this time. Too many times I've pushed the urges to go in the back of my mind. Not this time. I'm terrified but excited. I can't wait to see what happens; where I'm going, who I'll meet, how much I'll grow... I'm sad to put school on hold for a year and a half but you know what? That's called sacrifice and the Lord have his life for me and there is not greater sacrifice than that. This is the least I can do to repay him for what he's done for me. So I'm going. For 18 months I will serve my Lord and my Church. My papers willl be turned in ASAP and I will leave ASAP. Yay!!!
