Oops...too long

So this is what happens when I wait far too long to write on my blog (and in my real journal... I did a lot of catching up last weekend on the train!). I get so far behind that it's a daunting task to catch up. But oh well. So here are the highlights. I left Provo and came back to NH. Tiff Tiff wrote a blog about me...it was sweet! :) I took the train across the country. I went to the Atlantic Ocean on my first day back at this end of the country. I have a job and income! I've been really busy, even though I am not in school. And the lowlights. I left Provo and my friends there... I don't have many here, because they are all out west! I haven't finished cleaning my room yet! So yup, that's the summary! :) I'll put up some pictures...because we all know a picture is worth a thousand words.



James and Tim and I went on a bus adventure the Tuesday before I left Provo. It was awesome! Natural studying for my geology final, which went pretty well. I took a ton of pictures, but here are a couple. We also got to weigh the bus, at a weigh station. That's not something you do every day!




After we got home from the bus trip, Tiff and I had a photoshoot. Again, many pictures, with only a few on here. In this last one, we did somersaults as we took pictures. It was fun. :)


Tiff and I show off all the glowsticks we accumulated from all the Divine Comedy shows we went to this year... I never missed a show! We had such a huge collection by the end of the year that we didn't even know where to keep them.


A couple days before I left Provo, I went to Bre's and John's wedding reception. They both looked great, and so happy! It was a happy occasion!


This was taken from the train on my way home. It's cool because you can see how the sand dunes built up to this rock. WHOA!


Colorado, on the way home.


This is for you, Rachelle!


Mississippi River!!!!


Iowa...


And once on Long Island, we went to Fire Island Light! I LOVE THE OCEAN!!!



Steven and me at Fire Island


And then we went to the top of the lighthouse, and this was the view. The island has grown 5 miles in the last 150 years...GEOLOGY!!! :)


You ever seen a lighthouse light up close?


Then back in NH, we partied for James' birthday! We didn't have the fireworks or beer pong, though...


And then James left for Alaska :( So of course we took pictures...

Then the poking and tickling began.

Whoops, looks like there are only two survivors! :)

So those are some visual highlights! The summer is off to a great start. And it's even better that I have a job... I was fearing that I'd be unemployed and a bum until June, when I start doing EFYs. And my trip to Alaska starts in 13 days! Woohoo! Well, I need to get to bed sometime before tomorrow, and I have a couple of things i need to do before then. Tomorrow will be another long day. But a good one. It's good to be home!

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 ...

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r...

Hamlet

One of my favorite scenes from Hamlet (which is probably my favorite of Shakespeare's plays) is right after Polonius is murdered. I love the literal yet sarcastic reply Hamlet gives to King Claudius at his inquiry to the location of Polonius. KING CLAUDIUS Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius? HAMLET At supper. KING CLAUDIUS At supper! where? HAMLET Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but variable service, two dishes, but to one table: that's the end. KING CLAUDIUS Alas, alas! HAMLET A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and cat of the fish that hath fed of that worm. KING CLAUDIUS What dost you mean by this? HAMLET Nothing but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar.
