Painting, Parents, and Summer Time

Well, so I had this big long blog post already written out, but then for some reason the computer wigged and didn't save it. So I suppose that we shall try again to write everything I had on here before.

So we are up to week 7 on my running schedule, but sadly I have kinda let it slide some in the past two weeks. Which I am so mad at myself. This was suppose to be my summer, but I haven't really even done much at all. I haven't ran near as much as I would have like, or gone to the gym very often, heck, I have even eaten a whole lot worse than I did during school. I don't really eat bad, but at the same time, I just don't make as smart of choices. Fore example, I haven't eaten any wheat bread since I've been home, I just eat a whole ton of white bread. Just little things like that. I have also eaten out way more than I would have liked to or then I should have. I definitely need to work on that. Luckily I still have almost two months of the summer left that I can start to do better again. I am going to get back on my running and run as much of five miles as I can this weekend, I am going to start going to the gym everyday again, which means I'll have to start going to bed earlier, and I am going to start eating healthier again. I know I will feel a whole lot better about myself if I can just do this. I know that I am worth it, and that I need to treat myself better, more like I am worth, and so I am going to get better from now on.

So we have been painting my room this summer, and we finally got it finished last night. I love it! It's green and brown, and is definitely very green, but green is one of my favorite colors. I am super excited for when I can move all my furniture back though. I am basically living in a pigsty right now and can never find anything, which is extremely frustrating. I learned though, that I really suck at painting. I pretty much get paint everywhere. All over everything including myself. My dad however, he is amazing at it!! He never has to mask anything. I hope that I am lucky enough to find a guy who knows how to do half as many things as my dad does. Seriously, he knows how to do almost everything. The other day, our vacuum shot sparks and stopped working, and like ten minutes later, it was as good as new. Crazy man!

So I went over to Josh's house last week and visited with his mom. That was....interesting to say the least. I mostly just looked and the pictures that Josh has sent and read his letters. It was really neat to be able to see the pictures and see where he has been living for the last year. Indonesia really is a gorgeous place is some areas. And Josh is doing good too. Only 10 months before he comes home. I can't believe that. It is going by so crazy fast. It will be exciting to see him again though. I absolutely love the way their house was decorated though. They had like ten clocks in the front room, which I thought was really cool because I love clocks, although I can't stand that tick tock sound.

The financial aid people finally have pulled their heads out of their butts and finally got my financial aid mostly figured out. That was extremely frustrating of an ordeal. I am just praying that I get some sort of aid, but I think I will only get loans, which sucks. I am so tired of being broke all the time. I realized that I pretty much haven't had any extra money since I started college. Now don't get me wrong, I am extremely grateful that I have been provided for and have always had enough money to get by, but it sucks to never have any to spend pretty much ever. I'm hoping that once I get back into salt lake I can find a job in a pharmacy somewhere and get pharm. tech. certified. I really want the experience so I can both see if it's what I want to do, and hopefully get into the U's pharmacy school. I really want to be able to stay in the state and as close to home as possible through grad school. But I guess we'll have to see what works out. If I can keep my grades where they are, or possibly raise my GPA just a little, and then do really good on the pcat, I should be okay. Although, pharmacy experience would really help, so hopefully something will work out for me when I get back up there.

Which I am pretty ready to go back actually. I am loving being home and everything, and I love spending time with my family, but this town if full of nostalgia, and it's making it hard to be around. Nothing is the same as it was, some things are still really good, and I'm really enjoying my singles ward, which actually isn't the one I am supposed to go to, but that is a different story for a different time, but I am ready to get back into school and get back to working hard at some things, and getting closer to being done with school. I'm glad I had the summer off, but I'm ready to go back. And then I won't miss certain people as much, because everything I see won't remind me of them.

Anyway, I guess that is all for now...

Sista, Speed, and Everything Else Randon

I can't believe how fast this summer is going!! We are already to week 4. That is absolutely insane. I still don't have a job, which totally sucks, but I'm getting by, thanks to my family letting me work for them....sad I know. Well, I don't really have a whole lot to update on other than that. My dad is running a marathon next saturday, but he is sick right now, which totally sucks, but hopefully he will be good by then. My own running is going okay, I haven't been as dedicated as I should be, but overall it really hasn't been too bad. I'm loving running with Jack. He loves it too...he's a nice boy. He just loves me so much that it's impossible not to love him back. I think that is one of the things I like most about animals. They love you no matter what. It's just nice to feel that acceptance no matter what. So this week end was youth conference so my family was gone. It was interesting to sleep in my big old house all by myself, but I only did one night because the other Sarah Beth stayed over too. I have had so much fun with her this summer, I'm glad that I get to spend time with her, we were in st. george shopping with my grandma today and Sarah bought a new laptop, which was fun. She really needed one...and really I guess that is the extent of my life right now....that is all.
