yaaaAAAaaawwwwnnn!!!! *long night!*

So I couldn't get to sleep last night.  I've been looking for a new job (not that $7.50/hr isn't great...hahahaha) and  for some scholarships (I started looking into Study Abroad programs....wouldn't that be awesome?!) and I kind of lost track of time till 3:45 AM.  I tried to go to sleep but I ended up just laying in bed staring at the ceiling for 20 minutes instead of sleeping.  So I got up, put on some exercise clothes and went for a walk.  I ended up going a total of 9.2 miles (I Google Mapped it when I got home...check it out!).  For those of you familiar with Provo, I walked from the Glenwood to Provo Canyon and back (you .  I'm tired now, but if I go to sleep I'll miss the incredibly busy day ahead of me.  So instead of sleep i'm going to hop in the shower, go give plasma, go to school, then go and do all the other stuff I have to do...and till then I will nostalgically remember my wonderful bed.  Wish me luck!

The beautiful view I had while walking...except for the ocean, clouds, and lack of mountains, it looked just like this...just kidding, but it was fun to be awake the same time as all the birds and watch as the sun (hiding behind the big mountains) brightened the whole sky before you could even see it.  For a while the sky was this absolutely beautiful cotton candy blue/pink mix...it was pretty...subtle, but pretty!

Oh, and if you hear of any job opportunities near me...let me know, ok?!

Adios!

Happy official first day of summer!!!!

Ok, yeah, I haven't posted in forever, but for starters there hasn't been much to post about besides my overly abundant number of shortcomings and secondly my computer was MIA for about three weeks.  But I wanted to wish everyone an absolutely fantastic premier of summer.  Longest day, most sun, festivals at Stonehenge...oh the joy!  So yeah, that's about all I have for today!  Have an utterly fantastic, amazing, awesome day!
