Long Time, No Blog

Hello, world. Actually, I won't be surprised if no one really reads this. It would serve me right for not blogging for so long. So much has happened lately. I'm not sure if the world around me is changing, or if I'm changing. Or maybe nothing's changed. Who knows.

School is insanely busy. I'm in the musical this year, as well as concert choir. As a musical cast we've been preparing for the musical lately (duh), and as a choir we've been preparing for our veterans day concert. There have been days that I've had musical rehearsals start at 2:30 and go until at 5:30 and choir rehearsals start at 5:30 and go until 9. Needless to say, it's quite exhausting. But I know it's all going to be worth it. The end products will be amazing, and I will carry these memories with me forever.

Last year when we registered for this years classes, I would have sworn to you that I had picked easy ones. Now I'm not so sure. Things are definitely a lot more difficult than I had planned on them being, but with that said, I wouldn't trade it. My classes are fun, and I'm learning things. Not just academic things, but things that I'll carry with me throughout my life. Things that I'll use after graduation.

Work... another challenge. Those of you who know what I do know that what I do is easy, and works well with scheduling. The only problem has been trying to find that time to work at all. I've had to greatly reduce my hours, which has greatly reduced my paycheck. I thought junior year was expensive, but senior year is definitely leaving a hole in my pockets... The smaller paycheck is not helping. But hey, the musical is almost over and then I can get back to my regular number of hours, maybe even more. That would be exciting. :D

Things are happening so quickly lately. It's hard to explain. I have one friend married, and one friend who leaves on his mission in December. A very, very dear friend who is leaving in December. I am so excited for him. Only good things can come of him leaving. But at the same time, I'm going to miss him desperately. But we've worked things out... I'll write to him while he's gone, and when he comes home he's coming up to Utah State with me. Wow, 2 years, tho. It seems like forever!

Do you realize that in August I'll be moving? I'll be away from home, in a place that I've known since my childhood, yet it's a place that is new and exciting. I'll be accountable for me. No more running to mommy and daddy when things get rough. It's up to me to be the good girl, it's up to me to be strong. I'm excited. I can do this. :D

This is my 100th post. It's taken me over a year to get here, and that's ok. I still love my blog, even if I don't get to add to it very often. It's a fun place for me to come to. It's a fun place to remember and a fun way to look back on all that I've been lucky enough to experience.

Maybe I have changed. I don't know, it's hard for me to tell. I just see the me that's here in the present. It's hard to remember the me in the past, and it's strange to imagine the me in the future. :D Am I making any sense? Probably not. It's a good thing this blog is for me then, right?

Anyway, I've got to run. I have the ACT tomorrow, and my dad should be home from Vegas very very soon. :) Much love to everyone, hopefully I'll get to talk to you all soon.
