Tom, this is for you ;)

So practically the only person that whines to me that i dont write enugh on my blog is my cute uncle tom :) so bud, this is for you!

Lets see. December 22..you'd think..OH! the kids are all out of school because its christmas time, and schools cant be THAT mean to the children...HA! i wish. yes. i will be attending school until the FREAKIN 23 OF DECEMBER. that is..the day before christmas ever (which in my head is better than christmas) so..screw them!

I also found out that i hate driving. Well, you see. I hated it before i even told you this, but the fact that there is about 234236 million inches of snow on the ground, and the people refuse to plow the roads that i drive on..it really makes my life a lot harder then i should be! and i mean A LOT.

5 minute drive to the gym? 20 minutes

15 minute drive to school? 30 minutes (BUT! i was on time :) )

but all is well, because i am escaping on SATURDAY. horray for mexico. horray for partying in mexico on new years. horray for working my butt off and serving these people like nobodys BIDNESS! (business...)

Also, when i get home (January 3) i will go to sleep that night. and when i wake up, it will be my 18th birthday. have i even thought about this? no. thinking about it brings me to tears...

all i want for my birthday is to be 1 for the rest of my life. so please reverse time and make it happen. or i will sulk for the rest of my life, and you'll be sorry. verrry very soorry.

doom on birthdays though. i really hate them because you build up this great thing in your mind that these friends that you really dont have all of a sudden pop up and make it the best day of the year and you are so happy and you have all your dreams come true and you just make up this huge fantasy...but then in reality you get a pair of socks and a text from your grandma, and 6 people write on your facebook wall that say happy birthday. but they really dont give a crap. the only reason they did it was because they saw it pop up on the side when they logged on to stalk some boy thats in their math class, but they've never talked to in their life.

so doom on the thing they call birthdays. (:

ALSO WHY IS IT SO FREAKIN COLD EVERYWHERE I GO.

also...

eh actually that's all.

Just a little update :)

welp, i am pretty sure i have a total of 0 people reading this anymore, but i dont care! i am still going to write my little heart away because I WANT TO! (:

1. guess who FINALLY quit red hanger?! :) MEEEEEEE! i have never been so happy in my entire life!
2. i hate..hate..HATE. stupid winter. i hate being cold. i hate going outside. i hate being inside (because everyone in the world refuses to freakin turn the heater on) and i hate the fact that mrs. pay turns the air conditioner on during tech center!
3. i am addicted to mylifeisaverage.com--seriously addicted.
4. if its going to be so darn cold, why cant they freakin make it snow?! WHAT THE HECK.
5. its almost my birthday (: january 4, dont forget!
6. VIVA MEXICO POR CHRISTMAS. i leave the 26. heckkkkk yeah baby.
7. my brain is exploding out every hole in my head. why you ask? i'm pretty sure its because i am so smart that its just growing, and my head wont fit it.
actually..its because i freakin have a brain tumor i bet.
8. yesterday, i tickled a goat, a cow, a chicken, a camel, and 3 sheep (: they loved it.
9. if i could drink hot chocolate for every meal, i would
10. stop bringing me so much food- i'm getting fat.

i have nothing to say.

i have nothing to say anymore. except i just wanna give a shout out to BRECK. because i love him :) aka we're the best friend in the world and we're so funny and cool and exciting and interesting and popular and all the good words in the world.

but anyways, forreals. school needs to be done right now. but i am officially 25% done with my senior year. that means, in 75% i will be done, and ready to .MOVE.OUT. but i am pretty sure everyone is ready for me to do that one

i am transferring out of chinese :) at first i loved it, but really...like we havent learned ANYTHING new, and my teacher is so annoying, and i got 0/13 on my quiz, so therefore i am taking the easy way out and being a teachers aid! which will be exciting because, how can it not be!

other then that everything is pretty great!

except for my job :) but that's always been bad. but now it's REALLY bad. can you believe it's been a year since i've worked there? A YEAR! i just cant even believe how fast time flies, and i wasn't even having any fun at all!...strange.

umm. oh so big news...I AM GOING TO THAILAND THIS SUMMER! yeah yeahhhh!!!! i am pretty much so excited i cant even contain it! :) i mean, it will never be able to compare to the love i have for kenya, but really. it's freakin gunna be way fun :)

and then going to mexico over christmas. oh the joy my life brings me :)

anyways, if you want to give me money for my trip i wouldnt mind. because little dry cleaning girl has no money. of course.

boo for red hanger.

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 :)

boring summer days...

so what comes out of my boring summer days you ask? well...

1. a lot of sitting around :)

2. phineas and ferb aka best show ever :)

3. i make cakes!

so this is my result of my lazy tuesday...

the worlds bestttttt book of mormon cake.

made for the seminary teachers (by me), just to kick off the new year, and to show them how exciteddd i am to study the book of mormon, and maybe (secretly) to gain some brownie points so they'll forget to mark me absent once in a while ;)

whoever said i am no handyman, obviously knows nothing.

ehm. TADA. yes, i put this lovely piece of work together all by myself, and might i add it looks absolutely fabulous in my lovely bedroom.

and i am talking about the lamp. yes.

oh and plus. if you can see my shelf above my bed, i totally africanized it. it's quite impressive if you ask me. you should come by and take a gander one of these days :)
