Favorite Inmate Farewell spells FIF...

Well, this is it. The last night my favorite roommate, Shay, will be here. She's leaving me behind to follow her goals in Salt Lake. We became pretty fast friends and decided that we would have been great companions if we had served a mission together. I'm really sad she's leaving, she's been the ray of sunshine in my other wise overbearing apartment. She's like the Trapper to my Hawkeye. So, this is my goodbye to Shaylene Blackburn. My good friend. The comforting side is that I can see her again and hang out with her some time.

To celebrate our friendship, tonight we made gooey brownies and banana splits. They are so so good! Yummy in my tummy. It was fun eating them out of alcoholic beverage glasses (champagne and shot glasses). Hey, they had to be used for something.

Summer...

Yay warm weather! Yay shorts and no shoes! Yay summer school and confusing decisions... oh, wait Maymester and my online classes are just around the corner. I'm so stoked, ok not really. I'm tired of classes. But they'll be over soon. And confusing decisions... oh yeah. Were do I want to live for the next couple months? Logan, PG, Philly? Where do I want to work? The pool, a restaurant, a bookstore? Where will I live in the fall? Provo or Logan? I don't know what to do with myself. On the bright side, Philly and Logan are really inconvenient for all parties included so I probably will stay in PG for a bit, but that doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun. There are so many factors in every decision, I don't know if I can analyze them all. Or if I even want to anymore. Maybe I should just focus on the next week (yay finals!) and think about all of this after graduation. On the best of the bright side, Philly is coming here for awhile. My sister and niece are flying in and I get to see them tomorrow!! And that really is a bright side. I'm very much so looking forward to seeing them. It will be a nice little break after all my homework I have to get done tonight. See you soon Annette.

19 or 9?

While the boys were out feeling the Spirit, me and my girls had our own adventure. We decided to have a photo-shoot, but Chann didn't want to look hot so we settled for looking like little kids instead. I think the little kid hair got to our heads. Not only did we look the part, we acted it out perfectly as well. It was fun being a 9 year old again. We played on the monkey bars, swings, slide, little horse rocking seats (on which I got pathetically stuck) and we even played dress up. Conference brings new fun things every year. When the boys are away, the mice will play. . . I mean, girls.
