All this time I was posting blog entries and I ended up not even adding them to my blog page. =( Boo. Eventually, I will get the hang of this WordPress thing. I set it up last semester, but I only really worked with it when I was creating my General Education portfolio… I’ll get there.
Eli and I were going to hit the road back to Utah tomorrow morning, but we ended up staying an extra day so we wouldn’t be rushed. When we lived in Oregon three years ago, he bought this sweet, 1968, baby blue, Chevy truck. He finally had the motor rebuilt, and we wanted to take it back home to Utah so we had to jump through some major hoops to get the old bastard tagged today. I’m glad we gave ourselves the extra time. Luckily, everything worked out, and she will be taking us home on Friday.
I’m pretty excited to head back home. All of my friends keep posting photos of all of the snow. I want to roll around it. It looks so soft and delicate. I usually hate snow, especially in Kansas, but something about a good Salt Lake City blizzard just gets me super pumped. I also really want to try snow shoeing and skiing, because I have never done any sort of snow/winter sport, and I think it looks pretty fun. Maybe getting outside and soaking up some vitamin D would keep me from losing my sanity during the rest of the winter. Winters can be rough for me.
I think I am finally getting my brain back into “school mode”. Its still hard to get things done with all of these cute, little nerds running around here. I got a lot of my homework done pretty early today, though, so I got to spend some Q.T. with some Q.T.’s. It was a pretty great last night in town.
Tomorrow will be kind of a big day for us. We will be loading up the truck and heading up north to Kansas City to see my pops. We are going to spend the evening with him to celebrate Eli and my recent engagement. I’m pretty excited about that. I always miss my dad when I’m in Utah. He’s a pretty rad dude.
I’m feeling a little less stressed about school today. I just try to work at algebra a little here and there throughout the day. It’s so time consuming, and many breaks are necessary in order to not pull my hair out or scream. Algebra online is NOOOOO JOKE.
Well.. I think I’m going to have to wrap it up for the night. Its already about 2AM here in Kansas. I better get some sleep so we can get this show on the road tomorrow.
