My Life

So the last time I posted, it was last semester... needless to say, the last time I had TIME to post was....

LAST SEMESTER.

So here's what I'm going to do. I am going to provide one sentence for every major event since I posted last... here we go.

I found myself in a MacDonald's in St. George on Christmas night with about three dozen other people who had the same idea while we watched Obama on the news. I went to Disney Land and stumbled upon Tom Hanks' brick/tile in front of the gates. I did the worst I'd ever done on the Buzz Light year ride just as they closed the gates of Disney Land because it had reached full capacity. I experienced full capacity at the happiest place on earth and together we all watched fireworks followed by the falling of very convincing fake snow. I started my second semester of college, and didn't understand what I was getting myself into. I took on renovation planning project competition for a real family who, if they liked what they saw, would actually use it. I analyzed a mall for hours looking for good ideas and flaws in retail design. I built a three inch spiral staircase with a slide around the edge out of wire, foam core, and tooth picks for a model of a toy store inspired by a tree house. I discovered that I'm pretty okay at rendering and perspective drawing, and the class that introduced me to it became my favorite class.  Cumulatively, I probably spent over 50 hours rendering and perspective drawing outside of class. I took on space planning and finishes selecting for a 80 year old, future parade of homes house with a partner with a time limit of two weeks. I started signing the whole first floor of Macy's because one of my coworkers decided to get some crazy biology job. I got employee of the week, and have now tripled my speed at signing. I got my roommate officially addicted to Doctor who, and I'm not letting her have the blessed 7th season until after Easter. Oh! I almost forgot to mention books I've read this year. First, I finally read Mockingjay; after reading, I threw a fit, and it took me a good two weeks to come to peace with the ending. I read East of Eden, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone; it's beautify written and will ruin your life- I, 3 weeks later, am still struggling with the book hangover it gave me. Divergent: not really my cup of tea; I wish it would go deeper into the politics and Four is pretty cool but not my favorite. However my dislike for the book might just be that I was still trying to get over East of Eden, and it's just as sinful to compare those two as it is comparing Harry Potter with Les Mis. I am seeing the movie tonight though; I hear it's better than Hunger Games- I think it completely depends on your personality and opinions on what makes a good story or not. I am now reading the Maze Runner. I went on a spert of the moment trip to Idaho Falls where I met a dog I'd been hearing about for moths and I tried on a helicopter helmet. I went to an 8 hour conference on green design. I also watched The Tigger Movie last night, followed by a horror movie, because that's normal.

And for my last thing, I watched Frozen about 500 more times because yes, it really is that good.

So I don't know if all of that was enough to justify not updating my blog for four months... I'm out of School now, which means I probably should figure out what I'm doing with the next year of my life.

Well, that's all for now... oh wait one more thing:

I wrote an essay tearing down the people who think Harry Potter should be banned from schools for my critical thinking class. There are some people in this world that look for the bad in everything they can get their condescending little hands on. Well Harry Potter taught us just how to deal with people like that. The patronus charm works pretty well... stupid dementors.

Oh, and chocolate always helps.

ttfn.
