The first picture is of rain at school. The second one is a picture of my eye that my friend Drew took! He did an awesome job!

Tom Tom
So I broke down and got a GPS. I sort of got tired of needing one and not having one and my phone not connecting to the internet. Now I will never be lost...in topographical sense.
rain
A few weeks ago there was a giant thunder storm or rather a series of giant thunder storms. I, being the immature adult that I am, proceeded to jump, splash and run in the river like puddles until I was soaked! I had a blast! The parents of the neighborhood gave me funny looks while they called their kids in and scolded them for getting "dirty." My philosophy is that "dirt don't hurt" and water will wipe up.

Slacker
So...I have been slacking on updating my blog! Part of it is because I'm lazy and don't feel like sitting down, uploading pictures to my computer then uploading them again. It always seems to take forever, for some reason my computer won't automatically upload pictures I have to manually do it and it's a pain!
School has been going well. I turned in a 6 page paper last week for my English 101 class. I hate writing a 2 page paper let alone a 6 page one! I guess in some long, boring, drawn out way it must teach me something...right? I want to start my classes later next semester because I don't like getting up so early, but every time I think about how it would play out it always ends up working better keeping my classes early!
Today was my last day of work at the tutoring place. I'm sure going to miss those little kids! However, my boss said that if I'm available to work and she needs me she'll call me! One little boy came in with a present for me! He wanted me to open it while he was there, so I did. Then I asked if he wanted to help me unwrap it and he did. Pretty soon he was just unwrapping it while I watched. I didn't realize how much these kids meant to me until I had to tell them good bye. Their little faces got so sad and they didn't understand why I wouldn't be there anymore. It took everything I had not to say "nevermind, I'm staying." It's amazing how attached to people we get. One really nice thing is is my sister is going to work there now! One of the girls that already work there will take my spot and Crystal will take hers. So it works out great! I'm also going to miss my co workers alot! I suppose with all the moving around I've done I should be use to leaving friends behind, but I'm not. I still miss people like crazy, and wish I could see them all the time.
So I will try to get pictures up here some time tomorrow! :)

College Life
I LOVE how everyone told me to be prepared that college would be like 30,000,475,009,226 times harder than high school anddd its not! Not one bit! It's sooo super easy, I mean I'm not that foolish freshmen who thinks it will always be this way, I know it won't be. It's just amazing! I love it, I'm able to be more independent and rely on ME most of the time rather than OTHERS for everything. This way if something doesn't get done it's my fault no one elses.
I also love how I am ME again, I was sorta down in the dumps for a few months, I don't know why but I was and now I'm perfectly happy and obnoxiously crazy again. I'm also in the mood to clean, who knows why but I am, which turns out to be convenient because we have worker company next week! I'm soooo excited we have at least one worker every night for four nights! I'm sooo excited I just can't wait.
So I was looking into moving out, just because I really feel like I need some space! But that's not going to work, so I kinda just need to suck it up and live with it for the next few years! I just can't wait to be my own person and not have to be responsible to or for anyone else for a little while and who knows maybe once I do move out I'll hate it haha! I suppose it's normal though for me to want to leave my parents house. I'm pretty sure if you asked any 18ish year old kid if they WANTED to move out they would say yes...it's just a matter of being able to.
Well anyway I kinda need to take advantage of this freakish urge to clean!

I'm Thankful
Alot of things have happened lately that make me thankful for everyone I have ever met, whether it was just a quick hello in passing. If I haven't told you, I want everyone to know that I appreciate you and love all of you! Each and everyone has had some sort of impact on my life...good or bad. I feel like I don't talk to anyone as much as I should, and it's not because I don't want to. It just always seems like those people will always be there so why not talk to them later, when in reality there may not BE a later.

Hillary's Accident
Teen Dies in Car Accident Coming Home From Reno
LAS VEGAS - Hillary Lavoie's parents say they'll miss her smile. "Her smile, just seeing her everyday, not being able to hug her," said Hillary's mother Tina Lavoie. "She has three siblings, and they can't wrap their heads around this. They don't understand why she was taken at such a young age."
Hillary died in an accident Sunday while returning home from Reno with two of her friends. The car she was in rolled over. Hillary wasn't wearing her seatbelt and was thrown from the car.
"I just have a hole in my heart, and I don't want anybody else to go through this," said Hillary's father Brian Lavoie. "If we can prevent one lost life, one lost teenager's life, just slow down, follow the rules of the road and wear your seatbelt. She was ejected from the car… It's so important that they follow the rules."
Hillary's Facebook page is flooded with posts remembering her. Her life was just getting started. Hillary turned 18 earlier this month and studied psychology at the College of Southern Nevada. She graduated from Shadow Ridge High School with honors in May. Classmates voted Hillary most spirited and homecoming queen. She was also a varsity cheerleader.
"She was funny. She was outgoing. She was everybody's best friend. She would do anything for anyone," said Tina Lavoie.
Ironically, Hillary's father didn't allow her to start driving until recently. He was worried about teens behind the wheel. A vigil is being planned for Sunday.

Life
Right now life is going...I'm in school full time and work part time! My classes are sooooo easy and I love it, I know it will get harder but I'm taking advantage of it while it lasts. I'm also thinking about changing my major, right now my major is nursing. I'm thinking about diagnostic sonography (ultrasound tech). The reason is is I never looked into anything else besides nursing and there is soo much out there! Right now I'm babysitting some super duper cute kids, a 1.5 year old boy and a 2.5 year old girl! They are really sweet and awesome kids! Tomorrow is a funeral for one of my elementary and middle school friends, she was killed in a car accident on Sunday. I don't know if I'm going yet or not, I didn't know the family and I hadn't seen her for years. It's hard enough thinking about it let alone actually going and seeing her...
On a more positive note I have an interview on Tuesday! It's for this place where as a babysitter they will set me up with families either full or part time! I really hope they hire me because I would absolutely love that! This way I would just have to take care of the kids instead of making little kids who have just barely turned three try to do math or reading.
Im starting a diet too!!! I really like it so far!
