The clouds couldn't hold it in anymore!

It is snowing. Again. It looks very beautiful when it snows, I just wish I did not have to go anywhere in it.

In 17 days, I will be 23. I can't believe it! I imagined this time of my life to be different when I was younger. 1. I was hoping I'd have traveled out of the country by now 2. I thought I'd have my bachelor's degree and be a working-girl. The statement "life never ends up the way you planned" is true now more than ever for me. However, I'm so happy the turn that life has taken for me. Sure those two things I still wish were true at this very moment; but at the same time, I'm glad to be where I am! Now I know what I want to do with my life. It is getter there that's the hard part. I would not change it for anything. The complete quote to say is this : "Life never ends up the way you planned...it's better!"

I have started to imagine what life will be like after college. Maybe someday I'll go back to school and earn a Master's Degree!! Let me not get too ahead of myself, though. When I graduate, I imagine that it will not be easy to get a job the way the economy is unfortunately. I would LOVE to work with kids, maybe live in another country teaching...who knows?! It would be terrifying yet so worth it.

Carl Jung once said "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."

This quote means more to me today then it would have meant to me yesterday. Recently, a co-worker of mine has been driving me crazy. The things they do seem to push all the right buttons to make me annoyed. However, yesterday I started thinking about reasons why he may bother me so, and now he bothers me less! It is not up to me to be critical of others. I just need to suck up my annoyances and life every moment. Maybe they have been having a bad day. I should not make it worse.

Wow, today I have been on a rambling rampage (and it is only 10 am, yikes)!

The snow must go...ALL OF IT!

This morning I woke up to snow! It was snowing when I went to bed last night, too. I understand that it is good for Utah to receive so much snow; but these are the times that I wished I lived in a warmer climate. I wish I could just curl up in a blanket at home with a good book or a movie and some hot chocolate. To my dismay, I'm sitting up on campus working/ doing homework until later this afternoon.

On the upside, it looks prettier outside now than it did this time yesterday.

Who want's to be Right as the Rain?

I think I say "hey, how's it goin'?" Way too much. I have become a creature of habit, shoot!

The weather has been nuts the last day and a half. For the first time ever, I experienced freezing rain. freezing rain=DANGER!! To all those who have had to embark out into the cold, I hope you do not fall, or get hurt.

Tonight I'm going to see ADELE!!!! I am stoked! It was a Christmas present for my sister to get tickets. And now two of my other friends are going as well! OH man I'm excited...

internships and etsy

After talking with a friend about getting an internship, I have been looking. I have found six, yeah that's right SIX that I'm going to apply for and see what happens. The one that I really, really, REALLY want is for a non-profit organization in Washington, DC. Who knows if I even have a chance; but just by applying I'm improving those chances, right?

I've also become a little obsessed at looking at Etsy on Friday mornings. Here are some things that, if I had money, I would buy...

Amen!

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today we celebrate the life and impact Martin Luther King, Jr. had on America. He reminds us of what it truly means to be an American and fight for the rights and freedoms we now have in this beautiful country. For him, I am so grateful.

It's great to be an American

life

Life in Logan is pretty swell.

I mentioned I was going to put up pictures of Logan, or at least my life because of living here; for it would have turned out differently if I had not chosen to come up to school at Utah State....

Happy 2009!

Life seems to get the best of me. So I apologize for not being consistent at writing on the blog.

After much consideration (more like after sitting in the same place for 4 hours), I have decided that with my hopefully last year living in Logan that I am going to capture the city with my camera. Logan has been one of my favorite places to live. It isn't exactly tiny, but it is not as big as Elk Grove, either. There is charm to Cache Valley and I want to remember it. So if you see me holding a camera and looking really focused...that just means you will probably be in a really good picture!
