Oh Rexburg

Rexburg is seriously such a tease. Like so many guys here, it likes to make you think it's all warm (hot) and awesome.. and then you see it for what it truly is.. a cold desolate (hearted) place (person). So, that might be a joke, I haven't really found guys like that here. They're actually all pretty nice. But Rexburg still teases. It makes you believe that Spring actually has a chance to show through, and then it freezes over in a bed of cold, white, frozen water.

Yesterday, was that day. It looked like a bit of a stormy day, but nothing that looked too bad. As I sat in my work office, I looked out the window and saw a flurry of hellacious snow. It was going in all directions causing havoc to the poor students that were left outside to walk in it. When I got done with work. I put on my hood, and headed out. With snowflakes the size of 1/2 dollars, it took approximately 5 flakes to completely ruin what used to be my straight hair. I walked into my apartment, looking like a wet dog, put my bag down and went straight into the bathroom. I wrung my hair out and continued to blow dry and straighten it.

Dang you Rexburg..

I suppose one of the things that make going through days like this worth it, is to capture days like this...

* I suppose I'll put up with you.. for now.

Life as I know it

As it comes to the end of my semester, I realize, yet again I have failed to show the excitement that happens in my life. I really have to say that I feel bad for anyone who doesn't have my life. It doesn't get any better. Ok. So that could possibly be a HUGE exaggeration, but this semester has happened.

This semester has been filled with broken friendship, confusion, anxiety, frustration, roommate arguments.. and all other things you can possibly imagine. I never thought that I would ever go through this when I chose my roommates. But it happened, and there's nothing that can happen that would repair it.

But even with the negative things that have happen, there have been lots of happiness, excitement, laziness, and good ol' college fun. I may have not gone on the most dates, and I may have gotten extremely stressed with work/school, but this semester has definitely been one of learning about myself.

Without going into tons of detail, this semester has been a huge growing time for me, not just in my knowledge of secular things, but I have learned and have grown when it comes to knowing more of who I am. I have realized the type of friend I am, the type of person I am, and the person I want to become.

So I raise up my plastic cup full of milk (I have seriously gone through so much of this). Here's to this semester for being some of the worst of times, but also some of the best!

Some of my favorite things this semester:

• Basketball-My team was way fun
• A rekindled love- No.. not a boy.. Peanut Butter & Honey
• Pasta Salad, Vanilla Tart Froyo
• Rock Climbing
• Good Cries
• Lots of Eye-Candy
• English Accents
• Writing a missionary in Africa
• Miniature Cadbury Eggs (the solid chocolate, not the creme filled)
• Spending time with my best friend Brennan.. We've had SO many fun times this semester which will only continue to the next..
