californiaaaaaa

i had the most wonderful week. it included:

going shooting in the desert
clam chowder on the pier
playing on the beach
watching the last lions (LOVE)
eating ice cream sandwiches
rollerblading in newport
not taking pictures
watching limitless (pleaaase go see it)
shooting my first (and last) revolver
almost getting eaten by a bird. and a chipmunk.
s.u.s.h.i.
going puppy shopping
a lot of things i can't remember because i'm tired
aaand more playing on the beach.

it was the most fantastic week.

i also worked on registering for spring classes (accounting, western humanities, need three more credits), had a phone interview for a job at byu (office assistant) got the job (sooo freaking excited about it), read time magazine, finished a biography about a boy with asperger's, and learned a lot about myself and what i want from life.

once in high school, my dad wrote me a note. my parents are good like that. they know when we need things like that.
in this note, my dad said "limitations are self-imposed; dream big. then, keep the dream before you."

i love that. and right now, i really and truly believe that my dad is right. maybe it's just because i've been off-track and haven't been going to school, but i am so excited right now just to learn and to work hard and to do as much as i can before i grow up. i am so excited about what life holds for me and i'm so very excited to do my very best to reach my potential.

ps only three more days in rexburg..

wake up to color

what a weekend! zack and i went to boise and the engine of my poor rav4 blew! we were thirty miles outside of boise and had to get it towed and it was quite the adventure. but we went to roaring springs saturday night and it was so fun! and then on sunday we rented a 2010 camaro (hey, we had to get back to school somehow!) and drove it home. doesn't get much better than that..

and then yesterday we had to bring the camaro back and zack brought me to the zoo on the way home! i loved it sosososo muchh. zoos are my absolute favorite, but mostly because of the lions. i'm fairly certain that lions are the most beautiful, attractive animals in the whole world. i could just stare at lions for hours. and these lions? exceptionally attractive.

i love it here so, so, so much. i have never in my life been so happy. i love my job. i literally wake up at every morning excited to go to work. i am crazy about my classes. i adore my friends. i'm pretty fond of my boyfriend. i'm wayy excited to go home, but i'm soooo sad to leave this place in the summertime!!
