Hey. What a weird week. School has been amazing. I think it's been because of early morning seminary. I know this is so cliche, but it honestly does make my day 10 times better. I don't have very many classes with friends. And this seriously bumms me out. Less chances to socialize with people. Less chances to....I dunno. But honestly, even tho I only have a few classes with people, school has been wonderful. I've been so happy. Honestly, I get to the point where I can't even talk because I'm so happy. I just don't know what to say.

And then I come home. I really don't want to sit here and complain, so I'm not going to. If you really want to know, come and talk to me. I'll just leave it with this: home is not as good as school.

I have young womens tonight. Joy. I love young womens. Note sarcasm. At least it's not home.

Yeah. That's about it.
adios.

New Beginnings

Wow. Today is just a start of new things. Awesome. School started, but you all know that. It was actually pretty cool. Got up early for early morning seminary, and that was great. Seminary seemed really short tho, I mean, it's only 45 minutes. But it's still good. I get it everyday, instead of just every other day. The classes were pretty good today, I didn't really know anyone in the first two, but I'm good at making friends. ;) So it shouldn't be too bad. One thing that worries me is that I have a book for each of my first 3 classes today. In AP History, I can just leave it at home. But in Spanish and Adult Roles CC I'm pretty sure I need it in class each day. Photography is going to be AMAZING! I think it's going to be so much fun. I'm way excited. Tomorrow is going to be a harder day than today, I have Human Biology, English AP, Pre-Calc H, and Guitar. I'm pretty excited! It's gonna be another great day!

After school today I hung out with Alan and Jaron. It was really fun. We just sat and talked. That's all. And it was probably the best part of my day.

Kyle's started up his blog, and so there will be a link over there --->

anyway, I gotta run.

I'm Going to Disneyland...Again....

I was talking to Thatcher last night. He asked me how I feel about Disney. Now, if you know my family, you know that my mother is OBSESSIVE. She absolutely loves anything and everything Disney. That's just the way it is. Our house, our cars, our...everything...is disney. I think I've been on a total of...well, not very many...vacations that weren't Disneyland/world. So here I am, setting the record straight.

I guess the way to say it would be, I like disney. But I don't love it. We'll start with Disneyland. Disneyland is fun. It's fun going with my family, and I think it would be amazing to go with friends. But would I be ok with going on a vacation to somewhere other than a Disney park? Heck yes!!! I would love to go to Hawaii, or to Washington DC again, or maybe to California and go to the beach instead of Disneyland. I mean, that's all we ever do. Another thing. Disney movies. I really really love some disney movies. Like Aladdin, and Hercules, and Beauty and the Beast. They're my favorite disney movies, especially Aladdin. But then there are movies like Pinocchio and Bambi and Dumbo. I'm not saying I dislike these movies (actually, I HATE Pinocchio) but what's the point of owning movies we never watch? Why do we have a case filled with movies that I've seen once, and will probably never watch again? Yeah. I do not know the answer to this question. And neither does anybody else. Something else my family is known for: wearing disney clothing ALL THE TIME. When I was little, it was cute. But I'm not little anymore, and I prefer not to wear mickey mouse shirts 24/7. OR when my mom thinks it's cute to wear matching mickey mouse shirts. Yeah. I don't think it's so cute.

Soo now you know the truth. Next time you're about to say "Courtney's obsessed with disney," rethink it and say "Courtney's mom is obsessed with disney." I would love to go on a normal vacation. I would love to watch a movie that isn't a disney cartoon, and I would love to not have the same Pirates shirt as my mother. But she's my mom, and I love her. And thats the way things work in our family. It's not a bad life, just a different one. PS...some of us are planning a trip to Disneyland next summer, anyone wanna go? ;)

I'm Just Glad to Have a Glass!

Ever get one of those nostalgic feelings? Remembering the good old days, and bad old days. Well, just the old days. Things that you did, or should have done, or wanted to do. Well that's how I've been feeling today. Ok, more like for the past five minutes. Life is seriously good. And always has been. Sure, some times have been harder than others. But I made it through, and I learned some major life lessons along the way. It's just been amazing.

Seriously, how could my life be any better? Sure, I've got history homework I should be doing, and sure, school starts Monday. But I'm gonna see my friends EVERY DAY!! And I can drive. YAY! I mean, everything is so great.

Happy Day

Hi! Courtney is back to 100% happiness. If not 100%, maybe it's 99%. Anyway, the point is that things are better. I worked on some history homework yesterday. I got about halfway through a timeline. Yay me. I'm gonna finish chapter one today. That's my goal. It's just so hard to concentrate! But I guess I better get used to it. My schedual is finalized. So that's good. I spent almost all day yesterday at T-ville. It was quite fun. I hung out with the drama club. They make me laugh. :D Today should be a pretty good day. Nothing huge to write about.

Home At Last

Yay! I'm home! And I won't be going to Logan for a little while. So that's good.

Ya know, suddenly I don't feel like writing. It's waaay too hot. And I can't concentrate.

...To Be Continued...

I'm back. Sure, it's a day later. But so what. Today hasn't been the greatest. That's right, little miss optimistic had a bad day. Tomorrow should be better. I have young womens in an hour. I have no clue what we're doing. Supposedly going to some park....I think it's combined. Well this should be fun.

This post sucks.

Missing You! And You! And You!

Hello All. I'm in Logan...again. Well, it seems as if everyone who has been at scout camp is getting home today! YAY!! My cousin's back, Alan's gonna be home in about a half an hour, and I think Thatcher's getting home soon...I think.

Well, here I am in Logan. This is the 4th time I've been here this summer. Total time spent in Logan this summer (including this week): 4 weeks. Desired time spent in Logan this summer: 3 weeks. I wanna come home! I love Logan, I really do. But I just wanna be home!!! Everyone should call me, cuz I wanna talk to people. Seriously, call and I'll answer. Umm...The only reason I'm writing this post is cuz I miss everyone. So yeah. Call me, IM me, text me. Whatever. Just talk to me! I'm lonely!

I might actually get some homework done while I'm here. Well, I'm gonna try, anyway. So yeah.....I get home on Tuesday. We should do something. Movie night, anyone? So I think the Video Game Party is on. I'm thinking the 22ish? Somewhere around there. How's that date for people??
I better run.
Adios

Don't Leave Us!

Ok, this is a post just for Nick. Cuz he's all "i'm not blogging anymore." So I thought I'd write something just for him.

10 Reasons Why Nick Should Keep Blogging:
10-Because everyone likes to read blogs
9-Because Nick's blog is cool.
8-Cuz Nick's blog has really cool stories on it.
7-Cuz Nick is one of the consistent bloggers, and he should keep that going.
6-Cuz if he quits blogging, then he's a hypocrite.
5-Cuz he complains that people don't blog enough.
4-Cuz he's really good at writing.
3-Cuz if he doesn't blog, then the world is a sadder place.
2-Cuz he's really good at writing.
1-Cuz if he doesn't blog, then Courtney gets bored faster.

There ya go, Nick. Ten reasons why you should keep blogging. Blog lots and lots, cuz you're just that cool.

Alright everyone, here's an idea. I'm thinking a Video Game Party. There will be Halo, just for Thatcher and the Halo Geeks. There will be Kingdom Hearts (1&2) and there will be Animal Crossing. As well as Smash Bros and any other game people want to bring. We'll have a minimum of 3 TV's set up in my living room, and if anyone wants to bring another and make it 4 TV's, go for it. Let me know what you think of this idea. If no one wants to come, then we won't have it. There will be food, and drinks, as always. So yeah, that's my idea. What do you think?

And...that's it for now.
I'm out.

I'm Baaaaaack!

Hey guys, sorry about not posting for so long. I was in Logan for a week. Yes, Logan. Get over it. I went for Utah Business Week. Basically, what that is, is a bunch of nerds who get together to learn about different aspects of business, and have fun at the same time. I made a bunch of new friends (yay me). I went to 2! dances, and had lots of fun. It's funny, when I left I was really sad to be going. I really didn't want to go. I was gonna miss my friends, I wanted to stay here and have fun. But as the week went on, and I made more friends, and I got closer to those friends...well, lets just say that I was really sad to leave this morning. Really sad. But I did not cry. So take that, Kris.

At UBW I really felt like a city girl. Most of those kids were from 1 A or 2 A schools. There was a kid named Ben who had 180 people in his whole school. My friend Maili had 75 people in her grade, and she could name all of them. Insanity, I'm telling you.

Man, I barely got any sleep this week. I was never in bed before 11:30, and I was always awake before 6:15. Last night I went to bed at 1:30 and woke up at 5:15 to watch the sunrise with some friends. Corny, I know. But I might not ever see these people again! We wanted to make the most of our time.

Oh, Gosh. I have to get working on my history homework. I'm almost into panic mode. Seriously. This is bad. School starts in 22 days? or something like that. Wow. I think I might try and work on it today. Or not, I'm pretty tired. Um...well, since people seemed to like the part of the story that I've posted so far, here's a bit more of it.

Cameryn awoke to sunlight streaming through the window of her bedroom. She stretched, and thought more about the previous night. She hadn’t tried to write in a long time, partly because she didn’t want to, partly because she knew she couldn’t. After standing in the rain for what had felt like mere minutes, but what had actually been hours, she had come inside, soaked and exhausted, and gone to bed. She had lost count of how many nights she had spent in the same way. She slowly got out of bed, and began the morning routine. Shower, dress, hair, breakfast. She looked in the mirror, examining her reflection. She didn’t use make up. She liked to think that she didn’t need it, and truthfully, she had never really learned how to use it. But what did it matter? The only person she really needed to impress right now was herself. She shook herself, mentally. “Snap out of it!” she said, out loud. She knew she needed to get over it. It had been long enough. What she needed, she decided, was to go out with some friends. This made her brighten. Friends. She hadn’t gone out with her girl friends in a long time. She would call Alyssa! She picked up her cell phone and started going through her phone book. A slight frown creased her face. And then she remembered. When he was in her life, she hadn’t needed friends. She had shut them out, and they weren’t willing to remain friends with someone who had treated them so badly. They had warned her about him, telling her that he was no good, that she would get hurt. Their words had only made her mad, and she had let them know it. She had said harsh things, things she hadn’t meant. She had driven them away, and now she was alone. Completely alone. She hit “yes” on her cell phone. She would call Alyssa anyway. She needed to apologize. She needed a friend.

Well, there ya go. It's not action, it's not adventure. It's probably boring. Let me know what you think. Be honest.
