grrr

THE SOUND ON MY COMPUTER ISN'T WORKING. Its not working at all. No sound whatsoever is coming out. It works if you plug the earphones in but thats it. It is not making me happy.

Having BLT's for dinner is helping a little though.

argh.

yup.

I HATE NOT HAVING THE INTERNET. Seriously. Its killing me. I am WAY to dependent on the internet to not have instant access to it 24/7. And just my luck, all 4 of my classes require to be able to have access to said internet 24/7. woot......so I have been going up to campus and to my brothers apt to use the internet everyday since school has started. Right now I'm institute building. I am soooo very glad that I didn't have my lab today so I could come and catch up with everything in my life.

I have now forgotten what I was going to write about....

oh well. School is going good. Its going to be hard. I don't know if I can handle it. Work is...we shall see how that is going to continue to go.

Oh yeah I remember. There is one good thing about my lack of internet usage. I haven't been on Facebook in ages...well except like 4 seconds ago. But I can't get on to check if 4 times a day. Which is good cause its kind of boring me at the moment. So I don't even care.

I got a new camera. And I have only taken 2 new pictures on it. Sad day. So I don't have anything exciting to put up. Wait I do!

For a while now my parentals have been wanting to add on to the house. They have been drawing up all sorts of different plans for months. And they have finally decided to go through with it and get it done. So we have a very large hole in the backyard. At least thats what I have been told. My dad sent me some pictures.

This is a very large pile of dirt. And my dogs. I like them.

This is a picture of the big hole. I think I am going home tomworow so that I can see the big hole. And my family. Its really just strange that my house is going to be so different. Its been the same way since we have lived there. Crrrazy.







ps. My apt is quite lovely. Only the dishwasher is about a 1000 years old and flooded the first time it was turned on. The plumber came a fixed it. And we can't open our mailbox.

My first day of school.

School has begun again. It feels really wierd to be back at school. I have a really wierd schedule and I have a feeling that I won't ever know what it is. My house doesn't have the internet anymore. So I am over at my brothers apartment right now. I had to return his free laundry key....that I won't ever be using. I was just keeping it safe.....His air conditioning is broken right now though and he lives on the top floor....its hot. School was fine though. blah blah blah whatever.

Work on the other hand.....I can't talk about it. I will be working with younger kids this year. And I thought that it was going to be a lot easier, but now I'm not so sure......holy cow. Its going to be another interesting year thats for sure. I have a picture of the lovely house warming guest we had come visit. My camera is downstairs in my car though....I'll go get it maybe......But he didn't stay for very long.

Its way to hot up here. I have no desire to walk down the stairs and back up to this oven. So later with the pictures.

I don't want to pay for cable tv.

post

I started work on Wed. Its going to be a lot different than last year. Different but good. Good but different. AND I GET A RAISE!! (got, get?) who cares! A raise!!! You really have no idea how exciting that is. It just made my day. And I got a book from the library. Now you really are jealous.

I moved! I hate moving. I don't know how to pack. I always just want to pack everything I own into shoe boxes. But its all good. Our new apt is waaaay cool. We have a brand new black leather couch and chair. And a nice table, and good carpet and a REAL bed. Not like that rock that I had to sleep on all summer long. (ps. they just got new mattress' today. The place I lived at for the summer, thanks for waiting until after I move out.) Me and Ashely got the big bedroom too! We have lots of crap. Too much I am thinking. She isn't moving in for a few days cause shes in Texas.....driving home. So I am roommateless for the moment.

AND one of the greatest things I think is that this place doesn't have internet but the internet from the place I lived in the fall works all the way over here. Being across the streets. Otherwise I don't think I could survive cause I don't know when the manager dude is getting wireless.

HI SHANE!!! YOU'RE REALLY COOL!!!.

ps. Michael Phelps is still awesome!

we come and we go

ahhhhhh he did it! he really did it! Michael Phelps won 8 gold medals!! so cool. really. amazing.

I am back in Logan. And cannot wait to start work and school. I am soooo very done with being unemployed. At some point I need to start packing. Maybe I should have started doing that a few days ago. But I didn't really see the need. I just have empty boxes and crap all over the place instead. I was supposed to have been able to move a few days ago but we couldn't.....I don't know.

I kind of hate the beginning of the school year because you have to spend so much money. You have to have two months rent instead of one. You have to go buy a ton of food cause you have been surviving on a half a gallon of milk and a box of cheerios for the past week because you don't want to have to move a ton of food to your new apt. All of a sudden there are millions of other things you need to buy because you weren't really sure how you lived without it for the summer. And books for school and you always have to have a few new clothes for the new year. (especially if you work at an elem where all the little kids get new clothes. i should get some too) And you decide to get your hair dyed instead of just cut!!! Holy cow my hair is really quite dark now. I shall have to take a picture sometime soon. I got my hair done though cause I got my retirement check so I figured I could spend that. Yes can you believe I am already getting retirement!! No sorry, I wish. I had a 401k when I worked at the library and since I only worked there for about 4 seconds it just loses money every 3 months or something. I should have canceled it ages ago cause I would have got a lot more money.

My brother is moving up here too this year. We even have a class together. Really I don't know how that happened. I'm not sure how I feel about it, everyone will probably think were married. So that should be interesting. I think the class involves math though so I suppose its good that I already know someone in the class who's decent at math.

Two words:

Edward and Michael.

I broke down yesterday and bought the last book in the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn. I wasn't even going to read cause I really didn't care cause I figured it was just going to make me mad. But I read the end.....hahahah.....people hate that I do that. But really people, I can't even explain to you how much better it makes it know then end of books (most, there are a few exceptions i suppose). The anticipation is sooooo much better. Cause you what happens at the end but you don't know what happens inbetween all that. (not that i don't read ahead while i am reading) But for this book I really wasn't even going to waste my time reading over 750 pages if it wasn't going to end good. I liked the Host, but it wasn't the best and I was afraid that Breaking Dawn was going to be the same. Anyways....I'll stop rambling. Overall, it was good. There were a few things that I didn't like. I might even read it again some days.

uh...can you say Michael Phelps? Holy cow, he's amazing. I had to watch his races last night today cause I was reading last night. He's crazy. And all the winning of all those gold medals...really its just to much. Makes me want to cry really. And he swims, which means he doesn't wear a shirt. And that just makes it all the better. And mens gymnastic team. Yeah, tear for them too. I just think its all fascinating.

I guess I am going back to Logan tomwomw. I haven't been up there in almost a month....which technically means I can be thrown out of my apt? Because I haven't been there in over two weeks. I don't know why they care. I paid, and I'm not even there to trash the place so you would think this was a good thing? Whatever. I think we are moving out soon anyways.

I will post pictures of dc!! But only a few, I took over 500 pictures. I got a little crazy with the camera. (ps. i got my new camera. its black. and cool. your jealous)

This is me right before I crushed the Washington Monument. This is my good friend Don that i met at the Air and Space museum. He was kind of quiet though. (I just love putting pictures up on blogger, it always works so nicely.) Mount Vernon was my Favorite. This is the Lower Garden. I am moving into the house next year. I took like 452 pictures of the Washington Monument. But you have to. It doesn't matter where you go, its always around. It rained like crazy and we chilled under a some food place for awhile. Cool rainbow. The had these cool infrared things at once of the museums. The purply blue stuff in the middle is my HANDS. And the dot about it is my NOSE. It was FREEZING in there people. Notice everyone else's noses are find. Their hands were too. And all the while I was getting frost bite. I had to buy at hoodie at the 2nd air and space museum cause it was so cold. Which made me feel like such a nerd. So I'll probably wear it all winter.

Let the games begin!

I watched the Olympics last night. I love to watch the Olympics. It always chokes me up and makes me want to cry. Like the new Visa commercials with past Olympic stuff? Yeah first time I saw the gymnastics one I got all choked up. But the opening ceremonies were way good. I watched most of it. I would have to say one of my favorite parts was the little nine year old boy that got to walk with the tall Ming person. I thought that was adorable. Yes I might have go choked up. I like the Olympics.

I have been back from my trip for a few days. I think I had jet lag a little. The two hour difference kind of messed me up. I keep walking up at like eight. Trip was fun though. Mount Vernon was my favorite. I will post some pictures when I have my camera back.

uh...I am going to Ikea today!!! Don't really know why. I just decided I wanted to go cause my gma got a catalog and I thought it looked fun. Me and Ashley (Ashely) are going. I don't ever remember how to spell her name.

aloha from dc!!

I am in Washington DC at this very moment. And I am very tired. I have been doing a lot of walking the past few days. My mom wears a little step tracker thing and we walked over 20,000 steps yesterday. In case you aren't aware. Thats A LOT. But I have been having a jolly good time for the most part. And a few not so good ones.

Here are the not so good things that have happened.

-We keep getting sorta lost. We have a GPS thing and it really is terrible. Always trying to take us on these back roads and making my dad confused.

-Its very hot. and humid. And were outside a lot. bad combo.

-Today my dad cracked the screen on my camera and its ruined. It doesn't work anymore. That was sad.

Good Stuff!!

-I love it here!

- Museums are cool. (they do get a little tiresome.) But a good thing overall. my favorites....the wright brothers section of the air and space museum would be one....and the natural history museum was pretty cool.

-LOVE the memorials. Definelty my favorite part. Vietnam, Korea, FDR, Arlington.... loved all those.

-its green.

-Today it started raining. And we were outside with no umbrella. We stood under trees and walked and little and stood under a roof of a concessions stand thinger. I got wet. It was great.

-Saw an IMAX movie on nature. was cool.

-went to really good seafood place in georgetown. I want to go back and go shopping.

-to tired. can't really go on.

lata.
