I'm over it

Why do finals have to take over my life and haunt me like a living nightmare at every waking moment!?  I'm over them.  Don't they have any compassion on my poor nerves? I know ice cream does. So much, that I might run out soon.  Shoot.

Things I get to look forward to in the near future:

  • Miss myself turns 19 woop woop!  (I don't know of anything significant about 19, other than the LAST year of teenhorribleness) ps I want this watch ruullll baaaad. 
  • Real 100% fully charged sun.  Which also means shorts, tan lines, and highlight hair.  AZ, here I come.  Whether I like it or not.
  • a ride. I'm tired of using my legs.  I don't know how people did it back then.  I know I couldn't have.  Thank goodness for Henry Ford!
  • No school for 4 months, whaaa???
  • Lots of down time with the broseph (short for brother Joseph, who coincidentally, is my brother).  I've missed this boy, and we get to hang out for long time!
  • Did I mention that school is over?!  I don't think even I understand how much this will help my sanity. 
  • I CAN MAKE MONEY.  Lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons will soon take over my life once again!!  I am a poor starving student and am getting by on the skin of my teeth!  Which brings up another good point.......
  • I CAN EAT REAL FOOD.  We all know this one should be at the top of the list. (and for good reason!  Mama Mooney is Emeril Lagasse in the flesh!)
  • I will have time to read what I WANT!  I spend so much time as it is, reading text books and scholarly garb that my mind is filled with so much smart stuff, it just wants a break to fill itself with fluffy fun stuff.  Like Pride and Prejudice stuff.  It likes that.
In the meantime I sit in Provo.  
Cold. 
Bored. 
Pale.
Hungry. 
I think I might be over Provo too.  Sorry, nothing personal BYU!

Futures

You'd think I would have thought about what really lies ahead for me by now, being in college and all, but it took me one year of college to figure out what I'm doing here.... in college.  
I finally declared my major (dietetics!  Yay!).  Registered for classes for that major in the fall.  Applying to countless jobs, basically anywhere they are hiring, and getting very little out of it.  I even applied to be an anatomy TA for the fall to get some extra service hours for dietetics, and my interview is tomorrow!  Found a place to live in the fall, which was a miserable process (thank goodness it all worked out great).  It seems like school is the main reason for all of these plans.  Hmm.  Well, I guess you have to surrender yourself to your goals, if they mean that much to you.  And at BYU, if you don't give your 100% into school, you get semi good grades, then you look like a slacker because everyone else are flippin geniuses.  It's getting easier to give that 100%, now that I've gotten the hang of it (and maybe because American heritage isn't killing me).
If all goes according to plan, my future is set!
