MOOO-ving!

Today, I left my family's house, got into my car, and drove away for the last time in a long time. I'm moving to Virginia! I can't even wait. :) I'm in Denver tonight, staying in a hotel with my younger sister, my traveling buddy. We had a blast today, and it has definitely been an eventful day! Pictures are sure to come. :)

Highlights:
- I tried to toast garlic bread on the oven in our hotel suite, and burned it. Our hotel room smells like burnt toast. :(
- I may or may not have coaxed, yelled at, and petted the dash of my car trying to convince it to make it up the mountains to Vail.
- In Vail, I felt like a rockstar, simply by association.
- We stopped at a gas station called the "Loaf 'N Jug" where we were greeted by a prompt on the gas pump screen that read, "Are you a sooper card member??" I laughed so hard I nearly peed.
- I stopped at a rest stop literally called the "No Name Rest Stop" I have photographic proof. Neat!
- My sister and I have an creepy awesome love of N*Sync, and we definitely sang every word of every song of one of their albums.... the rest to follow tomorrow on the way to Missouri. (We can even hum the instrumental interludes, and voice the sound effects. :P)

I'm excited for my new life, but sad to leave the old one behind! I love all my friends and family in Utah, and also in the blogosphere. Thanks for all your support!

Productivity Fail.

I decided that today was going o be the day I was super productive and spend a few hours at the library working on schoolwork. I dropped my friend at work, and decided to call another friend and stop by at his house to say goodbye. He was working, so I offered to take him out to lunch. Productivity Fail #1. An hour and a half later, I parked on campus and walked into the library. Lo and behold, the internet isn't working. I sign in again and again, reload, refresh...... nothing. I'm so frustrated at this point that i just click on my blog link, figuring nothing will happen. The productivity gods are against me. Blogger is the only site that will load. :) Fortunately Unfortunately. Productivity Fail #2

I love/hate finals week. I love it because I feel like the only calm person in a sea of stress. :) Because I'm in online school, I get to schedule my finals. Whenever I want. It's super bomb. However, there are people EVERYWHERE. I've never seen so many people in an on-campus library on a monday morning. It's kind of ridiculous. (OK, I know it's not morning, but in the world of college students, noon is early.... crack-of-dawn early...) Also, every stinking person in here is clogging up the "hi-speed" wireless internet with silly academic stuff. Thank you, I'd much rather be on facebook. Productivity Fail #3.

Let's be honest, I just wasn't born to be productive. But I was born to have fun, and that's all that matters right? :)

Hey! It's Okay Fridays!

It's time for Hey, It's Okay Fridays, inspired by Amber over at Airing My Dirty Laundry One Sock at a Time.

Hey, It's Okay....

... to change the order of your online classes to avoid a 15 page research paper, even if only for a month or so.

... to mock/laugh at all of your friends because they have finals, and you get to schedule your own and space them out through your semester.

... to (blatantly)ignore your roommate when she's being obnoxious.

... to be late to the chiropractor EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

... to talk to your favorite aunt about inappropriate things.

... to eat out twice a day in the name of saying goodbye to all of your friends.

... to avoid packing, even though you are moving in one week.

... to be ridiculously excited over something as simple as seeing a real-life firefly for the first time.

Introducing.... Hey, It's Okay Fridays!

So... Amber over at Airing My Dirty Laundry One Sock at a Time started doing a weekly feature called Hey, It's OK Tuesdays, after she was inspired by a column in Glamour magazine. I decided to jump on board and let you know a whole bunch of things that are OK. Enjoy!

Hey, It's Okay...

..... to be ridiculously excited about driving across the country solo. It's an adventure!

..... to quit your job a few days early so you can spend some extra time with someone you know you have no future with.

..... to compare Justin Bieber to an ultrasound photo... they're about the same age, right?

..... to wish you could speak another language solely so your friends couldn't have secret conversations right in front of you.

..... to spend an hour doing word searches because you just can't bear the thought of going through (and getting rid of) more clothes!

..... to crawl into your best friend's bed at 11:00 am in an attempt to wake her up, and end up sleeping there until 7 pm, when she wakes you up so you can go away and she can go out.

..... to be super forward with members of the opposite sex, because you know you are moving in less than two weeks, and you no longer care about your boring reputation (and you want to be remembered as "saucy")!!
