I finally did it!

I deactivated my facebook account! Sure, it's still there and all I have to do is log in to see it again, but I'm okay with that, because I don't plan to be done with it forever. I just need a break from it for now...for a few reasons. Mainly, I miss real life...I miss how people used to actually talk to each other, and not just post on each other's walls. I still have email, but I need a break from the whole facebook scene.

And today is Saint Patrick's Day! I was invited to go to a party tonight in honor of the day, which I'm wicked excited about, because this day is not celebrated enough out here- I guess there aren't enough Irish Catholics here, as opposed to Boston. It's hard to find anything Saint Patrick's Day-related in stores, too. Trust me, I looked. Oh, and I have another thing to add to my bucket list: be in Ireland on Saint Patrick's Day sometime.

We're working on the waltz in my dance class. It's pretty awesome...because I learned it in 180, and now I'm learning it again in 181, but this time it has a cowboy twist to it. Like, instead of adding a flourish with our hands out (as in 180), we put our hands on our hips or belt buckle during those moves. I love dancing, but I think I've found my favorite kind during this class, and...no surprise here, it's country dancing. I just wish I went dancing more often than I do...and that people at home knew how to do this stuff, so we could go dancing at home too. Maybe I should just go to Nashville again!

Alright gotta go be Irish.

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...

The end of an era

So in about an hour and a half, I'll take my last final at BYU until after my mission! Exciting! Bittersweet. This week has had a lot of ups and downs already. It's never easy saying goodbye, but it's harder knowing I won't just come back in September and see everyone again. Today was my last day on the job at Heritage Halls. Thursday will be my last day on the job at BYUB. Tiff and James both leave tomorrow, and Hilary and Courtney both left today. Alex left yesterday, so...after tomorrow I need to find people to play with that I don't normally play with. Oh well. On Sunday, I went over to Courtney's and Hilary's place, and we had a last hurrah before Steph left for home on Monday. She goes to Jerusalem next week! Saturday evening, I went to Salt Lake and met up with Emma Koller there, one of my good friends that I met at EFY when I was 14, and haven't seen her since...4 or 5 years ago! So it was awesome to see her and meet her boyfriend! ...
