I'm alive.

It is true. I am alive. I know I have said this so many times, but I am positive that I am the worst blogger the face of the earth. Anyway, this is what has been happening in my life since I last blogged:

• I am now working at Seagull Book so if you need a cheesy Mormon romance novel, look no further. 
• I went on a few trips with friends and it was such a fun time.
• There is this boy...and...
• I was asked to join an Art History podcast with some awesome awesome people. It's been great. I'll post a link to the blog.
• I've been playing soccer again lately, and I love it. 
• I've been hiking lately, and it's been oh so great.
• That about sums it up.

Well, I can't promise that I will be posting anytime soon because I'm just so unpredictable, but it's more fun that way right? 

Talk to ya'll real soon.

Yes I'm a big nerd. And yes I'm perfectly okay with it.

Killer

I love this, for obvious reasons. Mainly because it is just plain AWESOME.

The holidays

I like them. They are grand. Thanksgiving was a success this year. It's always nice to be with family and friends that you love and care about. Next up, Christmas. I love love love Christmas. Mostly I love why we celebrate it. I love my savior, I love what he did for me. I know that he knows me personally, and that he loves me, that is such a comforting thought. I am happy that we get to celebrate his birth, and his life. I am happy that I get to be with family, they are my best friends. They are wonderful. All in all, I just love the holidays. Here is what I have of my Christmas playlist.

Attention.

While "writing" my paper for History, I:

1. Go on Pinterest for what I say will be 2 minutes....15 minutes later I'm mad at my self.
2. Go on facebook to make sure I didn't miss an upcoming event. See a funny video on my feed. Watch. Then watch 5 others.
3. Eat.
4. Do anything but write my paper.
5. Stare at the screen.
6. Blog. Hence what I'm doing now...

Well, I really do need to write. Curse you school. Oh, really quick news. I had an interview at Joann's Fabric today. It went really well. We'll see if I get it, and if I do, we'll see if I accept it. I'm wavering a bit.

Just for laughs. I love it, and them.

Whoop whoop.

Have I ever told you that I love the rain and snow more than anything? You know how some people get seasonal depression in the winter? Not I. I relish in the winter. Being cold is one of my favorite things. Well, I mean, being cold so that I can put on a nice sweater, pea coat, mittens, and boots, and drink a nice cup of cider or cocoa. Yes. I love this day. It's swell, just swell. Off to take my test. Wish me luck, I've a lot to live up to. Oh, also, I've decided that if I get another 100% on this test, I will reward myself with something nice. I think I will get some nice, tall, brown boots, with buckles.

 Like maybe these?

Or these? 

Break.

I'm going to have to take a short break I think...school is killing me. Not literally...but I have about a million deadlines. Sooo. Wish me luck? Thanks.

Huzzah

Done with midterms. Finished. Kaput. See ya later. Oh, what a joyous day. Gotta love college.

Oh, I got bangs. I think I like them, but it's too early to tell. I'll let you know soon, oh and maybe post a picture.

FALL BREAK. yes. could not come at a better time.

So my lovely grandma is getting rather old, that's okay, it happens, and since she is aging, it has become harder for her to do things on her own. Now, you have to know my grandma, she is probably the most independent person I know. My grandpa passed away about 7 years ago? Maybe 8? I will have to check on that. Anyway, since he passed, she has been alone in her house, except for the tenants she has living in her downstairs apartment. So she is use to doing things on her own. When the doctor told her that she couldn't drive anymore, she was distraught, but, being the amazing person that she is, she has carried on. She is in pain constantly, and it breaks my heart. Recently her maid had to quit because of family issues, so she asked if I would be willing to come twice a month to clean her home. Of course I said yes. Cleaning her home will allow me to make a little cash, but more importantly, I will be able to spend time with my grandma, because we really don't know how much longer she has left. I just love her. She is the cutest thing you will ever see. She's about 4' 11", grey hair that she gets styled to perfection, always  wearing her cute antique jewelry, oh, and did I mention that she is tiny? She is a wonderful woman, and I look forward to spending time with her, even if it's just twice a month.

That's all for today folks. I hope you all have a glorious fall break. Don't forget to thank your heavenly father for our beautiful surroundings, and for all that he has given you. 

We have this at our fingertips, it would be a shame if we didn't explore it.
