Just a Bit of Catch Up

5/13/14
I've said it before and I will say it again, I am terrible at this whole blogging thing. For that matter I'm terrible at this whole keeping up with people thing. I'm not good at writting my missionaries letters, or emails.  I'm not good at talking to people in general. So today I plan to play catch up.  This will be a sum up of the big things that happened in my life as I make a better effort to be a better friend.  For simplicity it will come in a list format.

• St. Patricks day is the best holiday ever!! Irish-ness and green and I freaking love that holiday.
• I am now 20 years old.  It's weird. It's a lot like being 19, except that people look at me differently. More like an adult than a child. This excludes my parents.  They will always consider me a kid.  They literally told me that yesterday.
• General Conference is the greatest thing in my life.  Nothing can compare.  It wasn't as strong this April as it was in October, but it was amazing nonetheless.  Elder Packer and Elder Holland were perfectly blunt as usual and I'm still amazed that the news didn't rip into them as much as they could have.  Also if you have questions about the Priesthood in any way, go to that conference, read it, study it, because they said it all. 
• Teachers are very very good at putting major deadlines on the same day.  Like papers and a late midterm and a project where you have to go to a shool and teach all at the same time.  It's very stressful and is one of the reasons I didn't blog, because it would have been a complaining fest. 
• Captain America 2 was one of the greatest movies and I loved it so much.  I kidnapped two of my friends and we went to see it a week after it came out. A WEEK. I was dying and it was the bestest thing.  I had my hands on my mouth most of the movie because it was so shocking and I'm still having feels from Bucky. #HailHydra
• The 16th of April was they one year anniversary of my Grammie's death.  It was one of the hardest days in my life.  The week before in school was super duper busy and the week after was what my school dubs, "Dead Week." (More on that soon) The anniversary was on a Wednesday.  I skipped school. I took a personal day off of work. And then I drove down to my parents house and we all went to put flowers on her grave.  It was very nice, except the sprinklers were going.  And there were wild rabbits which was super cool.  The rest of the day was spent with my parents, my sister, and my nephew.  We went and spent some time outside at Thanksgiving Point, which was beautiful. The day was very nice, but it was difficult for me. I miss her terribly.  
• Dead Week is supposedly a week where teachers are not allowed to give you tests.  It is meant to give you time to study for your finals that are the next week.  It is a LIE.  This is the week where all of your final projects are due and by the end of the week you are dead.  I had two final folders, where I had to compile everything we ever learned in the class, a 5 page final research paper on any topic, and math homework out the wazzoo due that week. Not to mention the two teachers that gave me my two take home finals, but I don't complain about that because take home finals. 
• Finals week was over for me on a Tuesday, but I had to stay the rest of the week for work.  Most of my time was spent fixing and cleaning my apartment so that it was spotlessly clean for moving day.  The thing is, I didn't move.  Two of my roommates didn't move.  One person moved out of our apartment, yet we still had to make it look like no one was living there and it had to be perfectly clean.  We labored for 8 straigh hours to accomplish this task, and we still didn't pass.  It was one of the most annoying things to ever happen ever. 
• I went home for two days and then back to my apartment for the last week of work.  The kiddos went cray cray! Like it was amazing how bad it got.  We had over 60 disciplinary actions in two days.  But it was really fun and I am really going to miss those kids.  Like a lot. I actually can't wait for my summer job to start because I may get to see some of them again.  Next fall semester is going to suck because I probably won't be able to work there.  :(
• Now I am home for two weeks on vacation.  Except the kids got me sick so I have a cold too.  
• I got to Skype with Amanda on Sunday because her mom is the bestest person ever and invited me and Kylie even though it was mothers day.  I had a hard time accepting the invitation because it was a family thing, but it was super great to see her and I wish I could have seen Emily and Brianna too.  
• Yesterday my nephew had surgery to fix something. Nothing major but it wasnt fun either. So I spent most of the day at the hospital only to come back with a very unhappy baby that would not let go of his mommy.  It broke my heart to see him that way.  Except some times it was really funny because he was so exhausted that he would fall over as he was sitting.  

There.  Now we are all caught up.  I will have Kylie kick my butt into gear so that I do this more.  Again I publicly appologize for my lack of keeping my priorities straight.  And this post is pretty boring but it was necessary. Feel free to skip it. Wait you've already read it... HAHA SUCKER!!
