Turning 22
Happy Birthday to me and Andrew!!! Yay for us. The one day where we can be selfish and it's okay. But we're not selfish because that's just wrong. Anyway today wasn't terribly exciting, but over all it was pretty good. Andrew woke me up this morning at 7:45-who does that?! But I was excited to hear from him (we talked a million times today and I enjoyed it). I went to work, did some homework, and went out to PF Chang's with my roommates and some guy friends in my ward. Very fun! Unfortunately there aren't any truly memorable moments that I can share with my many readers! ;) Haha (although word is getting out-hey Brent and Greg!)

I am so much better
That is right. I am better...than my brothers at this blogging thing, and they don't even know it. It used to be that when I was bored I would blog stalk people, but it seems as though no one is updating their blogs anymore. So what am I supposed to do when I get bored in class? Well...now I write on my unpopular blog. Yay (note the sarcasm).
So today I made it to my classes without incident. My roommate's fond farewell lately has been "don't go off roading and ruining your shoes today!" Lovely isn't it? Funny incident though. My roommates and I went running a few miles yesterday and we decided to run by the sidewalk where I got stuck in the mud. But guess what? My shoes were no where to be seen! I wonder who found them and if they kept them, or threw them away. I really did like those shoes, and it made me sad to see that they were ruined...and now they're stolen! Haha, whatever though. I wish them luck with a huge pair of mud encrusted golden shoes.
Other than that I've just been living life. School is keeping me busy, even though I never want to do my homework. The boy situation is just annoying and I'm trying not to like certain people. And to top it off, I am still searching for a job and where to go after I graduate in December. So...I guess in a way a lot is going on in my life. And tomorrow is my birthday! Happy birthday to me! For once I'm rather excited for it, even though (as I joked with my twin brother) I'm turning 22, which in Mormon years is like 50! Haha (I'm kidding), kind of.
No but seriously my birthday usually sucks, last two years I did school stuff almost the entire day and when I came home I just kind of sat around and did nothing. And growing up my family didn't really celebrate our (my twin brother and myself) birthdays. I think my parents got tired. In addition we had seminary before school, then wouldn't get home from school until late (because basketball usually started the week of my birthday), and then it was musical (for our stake) time and we had practice for that from 7-9 PM. Then we'd get home and have to go to bed. Pretty crappy huh?
...so I just had an epiphany. I think one of the reasons why I don't get along with Tawnie and Merica as much as I do with Liberty and Shay is because Merica and Tawnie are the oldest of their siblings, while Liberty, Shay and I are the youngest. The older ones are used to getting their way and bossing around the younger ones. Plus we just have different personality traits. I think I'm going to have to kick this theory around a bit more.

Confused
That is what I am...pretty much about everything in my life. And I wish I could read/understand people.

Just my luck!
So I realize that it's stupid to write on here and not tell anyone about my blog, but I don't care. I just do it because I'm bored.
So today I was a complete and utter idiot. I was on my way to school this morning, running a tad late, when I decided to take a short cut. When I walk to school on mondays, wednesdays and fridays I go around the school to get to the RB rather than go up then down through campus. It seems easier, although longer. Anyway there are two sidewalks that cut through the back to where I needed to go, however one is officially closed and the other is more unofficially closed. The closed sidewalk is right next to the tennis courts, and south of the Smith Fieldhouse. The unofficially closed sidewalk is this brick sidewalk on the hill next to the aforementioned sidewalk.
I made a decision that it would be a lot faster if I cut through the unofficial sidewalk, even though for me this is a pretty rebelious act (pathetic isn't it?). As I was almost to the end of the sidewalk I realize there a ton of workers down the hill who can probably see me. I freak out and worry that I'm going to get in trouble so I try and find a way to keep going without being seen. Well next to this brick sidewalk is a ditch/canal sort of thing. I've walked in it before and I checked to make sure it was dry before I jumped in to walk the last twenty something feet. As I jump in, oh I realize that it really isn't dry. It's mud!!! And tricky mud at that. I sink in about 7 inches and then quickly pull myself back out of that mess. However my shoes got stuck...lovely. I tried pulling them out and then realized that they were a lost cause and just left them. Feeling extremely stupid, and embarassed (but glad no one was really around to see my moment of idiocy), I call my roommate and tell her I have an emergency and need to be picked up from school. I walked to where I was going to meet her barefoot, and by the time she picks me up have leaves stuck to my inch thick of mud on my jeans and feet. Lovely. Needless to say I went home, got cleaned up and decided that I wouldn't be attending my classes for rest of the day. I didn't want to push my luck.

Football games, concerts and friends
So after I was bored yesterday and started this blog I got ready and went to the BYU-UNLV game with my roommate Shay. We had a lot fun and really enjoyed the experience. A thank you to Tawnie and Scott for our tickets (not that they will ever read this, but I'm not ungrateful). Shay and I sat out in the sun and fried, but really enjoyed the fact that we beat BYU (even though it seemed a slow game-every time we scored, they scored).
Afterward went home, got a little homework done and got ready to go with friends to a private Goo Goo Dolls concert (for Nu Skin-we got our tickets for free from a friend who works there!). It was pretty enjoyable, but kind of strange since there were a TON of older individuals in the audience (only there because they worked for Nu Skin, not because they really knew the band). Anyway the concert was at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake and was really fun. Afterward went to Chili's for "dinner" at 11.
Overall I must say this was a great weekend before birthday.
Oh and in addition, I realize that people often have funny anecdotes they share on their blogs, I however am new to this blogging business (and very boring) and will most likely just share what I have done over a period of time since I find that interesting.

I can't believe I'm finally doing this
It's funny. I'm starting a blog. I know a lot of people often say to themselves they would never start a blog. What's the point? I kind of feel the same way, except I've been getting rather bored lately and I thought, what a better way to spend time than to start one and express my own life and random thoughts? Plus I figure no one's going to read this anyway.
So just to start out (if in the future I'm wondering at where I was in life when I started this thing) I am in my second senior year BYU and am graduating this December. The last few months I've been freaking out in my head and wondering what i will be doing with my life. I'm graduating with a major in History and minor in Communications. Everyone is either continually telling me that gives me a lot job opportunities, or I'm screwed and good luck! I don't know what to do. Should I stay in Provo after I graduate and get a job here, or should I go home and try to get a job there? My first preference would be to stay in Utah and live in Provo because there are so many other people my age here and with the same beliefs. However I want to sell my contract to the place I'm staying at now because I have a couple roommates who are a little odd. But I also have some really awesome roommates who I love a ton!
That's my big concern for the moment. Other than that I don't worry too much about school, but I miss having a more social social life. Speaking of social lives it feels so weird to get on facebook and every week have a new friend of mine get engaged! I'm getting to the point where I have no more single friends left. This may sound weird but in a way I'm extremely jealous. They've found someone who loves them and wants to spend the rest of their lives with. At the same time I'm incredibly sad. We're at a point in our lives where we can do anything (it seems like). This last summer I had the time of my life traveling around for two months in England, Scotland, Wales and France. I saw some amazing stuff and can't wait to travel again (if possible).
For some odd reason this morning I am feeling rather blue. I can't seem to figure out why. I'm trying to change my life for the better-read my scriptures, pray more often, and have a better outlook on life. But it's funny when you haven't been doing this it is a lot harder than it seems to start up again. And yes perhaps I should be doing that rather than blog about it...well bite me! (just kidding)
Anyway I can't believe this is getting so long. I'm worried this might turn into an online journal and that would just be a little embarassing having my life on the internet for anyone to see. Haha...but on a serious note, how does one end a post?
