So today is Danny's birthday...He's SEVEN!!!! Wow, huh? I'm going to make him a superhero cape and send it to him soon...I really miss him!
So....I think I'm not very good at blogging...or writing...things just kind of don't seem to be working right now...and I don't quite know what to do about it. I miss my family like crazy..all the time!!! They're such good people and so much fun to be around. I guess I just need to figure things out...I don't know what those things are...but I'll try to figure them out soon!
School's been great!!! I love all my classes...I'm really loving (and getting completely lost) in my fourth semester Spanish class...maybe one day I'll be able to speak the language! Wouldn't it be so cool to live in a Spanish speaking country?! My cousin Rachel is spending a semester in Mexico city right now...I just think that is so so cool!
I was able to spend about 2 hrs hanging out with my roommates last night...it was nice! Like we were friends...it was a nice break from the way things generally are! hahahahaha
I'm probably going to give the guy's daughter (the guy I met at the airport) a piano/drawing lesson on Friday. I'm going to teach her on campus...it's a little less scary/stressful than anywhere else!
Well, I'm going to go find a movie to watch this afternoon! I hope everyone is doing great! Life is wonderful!

Inauguration day
So it's Inauguration day. Most people here at UVU seem to hardly notice or care. It's kind of funny to me, because when Election day rolled around everyone wanted to vote or prove something by not voting, but today no one bats an eyelash as our new president is officially put in office. I just find that a little interesting.
I'm actually kind of excited/interested to see what happens next for our country. Maybe it's because I'm, as some people tell me, naive or, as my parents (and some other people) say, not politically opinionated. I think it's because I try kinda hard to be optimistic. I think that if the president has our respect, even if he doesn't have all our same view points, we'll be ok!
So...even though I'm not the most political person in the world, I think that our new president will be kind of an adventure for the US! So...yay!
Gosh I'm lame, but that's how I feel and it's what I think. Even if I don't have the facts or reasons to back it up, my opinion is that right now seems to be a kind of important time for our country...Every time we get a new president is an important time, but right now it kind of feels like the world is watching us, waiting for us to succeed and support our leaders, or fail and politically bash on the new guy (like what happened a lot of the time with Bush). So, that's all...happy Inauguration day!!!
