The last couple weeks of school have been pretty crazy - preparing a resume, cover letter and portfolio, mid terms, tests, REVIT house project, I was sick all last week, snow(yik)... but I was able to make it through everything until SPRING BREAK!
Not a moment too soon. Only once in my University career have I taken a really cool out of state trip during Spring break. The Interior Design dept. organized a trip to
Chicago, IL back in '07 and I went. It was so great! Highlights from that trip were - Millennium Park, The Cloud Gate ("The bean"), Art Museum,
Merchandise Mart, Riding the 'L',
Giordanos Pizza(AMAZING), seeing
WICKED at the Oriental Theatre... and then white chocolate peanut butter cheese cake from
The Cheese Cake Factory afterwards... Hershey's store,
Hancock Tower, Million Dollar Mile, Shopping at
H&M,
Oak Park - Frank Lloyd Wright, going to Columbus, Ohio for the day, more Frank Lloyd Wright buildings... okay every day was a high light :)
This year's Spring Break was off to a busy start. I had class in the morning, then drove up to Richmond and stopped by the Pepperidge Farm outlet, then ran home and packed. I had enough time to go to Ogden and do some laundry, catch up on some
Man vs. Wild with my brother and then drove down to Alpine for my friend's wedding reception. It was held at the
Alpine Art Center... I may or may not have driven past it and had to stop and ask for directions. Google Maps let me down a little on that one ;) Then afterwards I drove to Payson.
I had a blast with my cousin! (Well it is always a party when we get together!) Saturday we made
cheese cake(brownie crust, peanut butter and milk chocolate chip base, then cheesecake topped with melted chocolate! YUM!) and then went to volunteer at the MTC. She was a trooper. I love going to volunteer there and practice my bahasa. We also got to see our cousin who works there so that was fun. Haven't seen him since he got married back in Dec. so that was nice. Then we went back to Payson and cooked dinner, some of my cousin's friends came over and we ate, and played Compatibility and Rummy. Good times were had by all. ^_^
Sunday was good. Went to church with my cousin, she taught Sunday school and did a fantastic job. Then we watched the fireside online. We also watched Fantastic Mr. Fox - I love that movie so much. You have to appreciate dry British humor to find it funny. It's a fun one to quote too. My cousin and I are movie quoting Queens. - Main quotes from things we watched this weekend - 'I'm sorry Shawn', "different", "if what I think is happening, is happening... it better not be", "it was your cousin's idea", "it's so fluffy I could die", "Life is short, and you are hot", "What?!... What?!?"
We also love music - songs from this weekend Heart breaker(sung by Ryan Kelly) -Celtic Thunder (well all the songs from The Show), Bug a Boo - Destiny's Child, Songs by Cascada, Somebody to Love - by Queen, Me Love - Sean Kingston, Heart breaker - Tiao Cruz
Monday I went to school with my cousin until lunch time when I drove into Provo and went out with a companion of mine, then was able to see a bunch of missionaries from my mission. Tuesday I went to school for the whole day with my cousin... I love her class! Then she had a meeting after school so I went back to her apt and made mini donuts :) I had dinner in Provo and then came back to Payson to decorate the donuts, pina coladas and the Italian Job.
Wednesday morning I drove back up to Ogden.. we got up early because my cousin had a meeting before school. That was rough, I was so tired! Then I unpacked a bit and checked things and then went out to lunch with my brother and Grandparents at the Greenery. For dinner we all went out for my Stepdad's birthday at Famous Dave's - that was fantastic. I love BBQ!
Today was a slow day. I spent a good chunk of it applying for internships. I've been trying places in Salt Lake City, Phoenix and Yorktown. So we shall just have to wait and see. I'll be working on that again tomorrow for a while. I know it'll work out but I can't help but feel a little antsy.
Over the weekend, I was told that I need to get me a man asap. I disagree. I am fine living the single life right now. I have big plans and goals. I am doing what I am supposed to, working hard in school, going to church and busy living life. I have a lot on my plate. Now, don't get me wrong, marriage and family are a goal of mine -but that's not something I can do by myself. So for now I am focusing on what I can control. And when it all comes down to it, I am happy single. I am happy with the way my life is going. I don't need to wait until I have a husband to live life and be happy. Life is good. This next year is going to bring lots of opportunities and changes in my life and I am excited for that.
