Week two is almost in the books, and as I sit here bored I decided sense this week has kind of been a crazy one, that I would maybe do a blog post now, and then one probably on Sunday as well. I really like this whole documenting my college life. It makes me feel like even though I'm so far away from home, my friends and my family can still be here with me and enjoy this new journey a long with me.
I love how we only go to school for a week, the worst week ever, and then they reward us by giving us a day off. This year I spent my Labor Day doing something I wouldn't ever of even thought of doing if it wasn't for some new friends, and us being so close to such an amazing place. I had the opportunity to hike up Observation Point Trail in Zion. Well it definitely wasn't like anything I ever expected, it surely was a good time and a great way to spend a day off of school!
The hike was a total of 8 miles. At times I felt like it was trek all over again, and I just wanted to shoot myself in the head and turn around! A lot of times though we would see old people coming down the mountain, and all I thought was holy if they can make it to the top I better freaking be able too!
Oh ya know, I figured sense I never had done this before I'd get in some pictures. Im pretty sure we also hiked it in the hottest part of the day, no worries I needed the work out!
The whole group! :)
I absolutely loved it, even if my legs were completely dead tired, and soar for a few days!!!
Having motivation to go to school was hard on Tuesday. My alarm had went off and I had hit snooze probably 5 times, no joke... but my favorite, well one of my favorite things about college is the fact that I really don't have to get ready. People go to class all the time in there sweats, and t's, so I basically jumped on that bandwagon and rocked the athletic shorts with my t bird shirt.. I definitely hit the requirement of college student. After my one class on Tuesday.... So so tough :) I basically caught up on life and school... ect the end with tuesday it was basically lame...
While deciding what to bring at college and what to leave at home, I made a good choice by bringing my basketball shoes. I hadn't played ball, stepped into a gym, or even considered playing. After much prodding by some friends, I put on the shoes and went and played. Holy cow, was it fun! I think I forgot for a little while, or a long time why I even started playing basketball, but it definitely came to me in the gym. It was definitely street ball, and whole bunch of guys and only a few girls.. I must say we girls held our own, and dominated!... I already have myself a nick name... The crazy baller from bear river :)! These people didn't know who I was as an athlete, or even my background so it was kind of nice to just start fresh and kind of make a name for myself in a sense. It was nice to finally feel like I was good at it again. I don't that was just a random food for thought kind of paragraph!
I have decided at college my least favorite thing in the whole wide world is food!!!.. I knew I liked to eat when I was at home, but that was really never a problem. There was always, although I maybe thought not, there was always food to eat. I had to go grocery shopping, because I physically had nothing to eat... In a way.:) Oh and now I have realized that I spend 90% of my time eating.. I seriously need to take up a hobby that doesn't involve food, because well its freaking expensive :)!!!
I can't even begin to count how many times I went to taco time during high school. It was kind of like, well whats for lunch, taco time duh... well now that college has started I have decided that, even though i do love me a good sweet pork burrito, I would rather spend my money else where. Today, being the awesome person that I am, I cooked lunch for me and Rylee... needless to say I am a champ, and we made it through yet another meal.
Yes, we have ourselves some Mac and Cheese, with salt and pepper, some deal pickle chips, and yes the famous Maverik drinks!!!... Although, the maverick runs were something that you could say, was a tradition in high school, we have continued to keep them going at college.. They are a reward you could say for making it through another day as a poor picked on college student.
This picture was taken specifically for our friends in the counseling center back in tremonton.. :) hope you're jealous, and missing us!!!! ... and our daily maverik runs/ taco time visits/ bring you food whenever you want... :)
To our Mama Kim and our Favorite Counselor ever... (Ms. Biggs thats you) Love you two!! Don't be having to much fun in the counseling center now that we're gone, and also well that one person is gone as well!!!
You all probably by now have lost interest but thats alright, thats the one good thing about the internet, this is never going away :)... if you're bored and not interested it will always be here tomorrow, or whenever:)...
One last thing... I have been a little sad in my room right... its boring I only have a few pictures, and random things, so I have been trying to be as creative as possible, and also find things on pinterest... that our INEXPENSIVE, because I am a poor college student, without a job.... but this is the latest and greatest that is hanging on my wall.. its lame I know, but kind of a need, hopefully it will help me stay organized and keep up to date with little notes, and things that I should remember and prepare for!
..... Keep smiling my friends :) I love you!!!
