creepy much?

baha. i love it when i find out people read my blog...it just brightens my days...especially my bad ones ;)

BUT! i guess this is my moment to promote my kenya trip!
(i think everyone in the whole world (of america) should do it, honestly)
today i did a presentation at my school for some seniors about it, and i was all excited and what not and i was talking about it blah blah blah, and they just were watching me like i was the biggest nut job on the face of the whole entire earth, but whatever. i love it.

anyways. if you want to get involved, go to youthlinc.org
you can go to more places than just kenya! they have mexico, and peru, and thailand, and kenya! it's absolutely amazing! it requires a lot of work and dedication and...passion. but believe me it's worth it!

in kenya...i taught in the school classes. we set up a soccer league for all the schools, and took over balls and jerseys and taught them drills and how to make a bracket so that they could have their own little tournament sorta thing! then we also helped start to build a secondary school. and we helped in the hospital, set up a library for the community, we threw a carnival, we did cultural exchanges. we went to church and visited peoples houses and farms and..bah! there is so much! i really need to one day post my journal entries. sorry i havent talked about it AT ALL. i am a horrible person. but i dunno..it's so hard to describe the feelings and events and like..everything i saw. and i so badly want to put it in words, or capture everything i saw and felt in a bottle and give every single on of you a piece of that because it brought me the most joy i have felt in my entire life.

AMAZING I TELL YOU!

it is official.

i am so horrible at this blogging thing. so boo on me.
i have so so much to say but i can NEVER find the time to do it!plus i hate these stupid computers that we have so, i try and stay off as much as possible.
but hmm..lets see the important news for ya'll
1. humanitarian trip to mexico with the family for christmas! i'm so so super excited you dont even know!
2. i'm signing up to go to Thailand with youthlinc next summer!
3. i adore school. seriously. i look forward to it over the weekends, and it's never hard for me to get out of bed. it's just the best thing that ever happened to me! i only go to bingham half day, then i go to the tech center for my business management training program...and let me tell you, it's a lotta bit like heaven on earth. the teachers are amazing, and i've met soo many freakin awesome people! it's just so great.

but at the school, i am taking chinese (yes, yes. it's true. i will be fluent. i looove it!) umm seminary (BOOOO), government (which totally sucks. i am so glad i took ap classes my other two years of high school, because honestly..this class is so painful), and daycare (aka i love it).

then after tech center (which doesnt have air conditioning by the way) i go to worky work (which i am soooo close to quitting. all i need is just another job) then i come home, eat. and sleep. then have great dreams of waking up and going to school again! it's just great :)
