Gotta Love This Day 8]

I love the Fourth of July for a few reasons. It's a day where I get to hang out with close family friends that I don't get to see often and a day where my family is at it's most chill. When I was younger we used to go on trips around the States and on the fourth we were always either in Kansas with family, Montana in West Yellowstone, or a small town in Utah called Panguitch. For the longest time we were in Kansas every year but then one year we spent the fourth in West Yellowstone and got to participate in a parade. It was awesome because my dad loves the fourth so he (used to) dress up as Uncle Sam. A very casual, awesome Uncle Sam. He had shorts, converse, a shirt, and hat that were all flagged up and he would shave his face so he only had an Uncle Sam beard going on. I would participate in these events as well, but as Aunt Sam. I wore a white skirt, red converse, a festive shirt, a top hat like my dad's and, the best part of my outfit, a beard. They were truly great times. They only happened for a few years though before my dad's back started to basically ruin everything he liked to do. Those years we dressed up as Sam's were three of the best Fourth of July's I've ever had. There's a picture somewhere of my dad and I dressed up like that and if I can find it, I'll post it along with this. 8]

Long Time, No Update

Hello my  lovelies, I realize that it's been a few months shy of a year since I last updated and I'm not sure why that is. All I can assume for the last blog posted onto the sight is that school got busy and I forgot that I had a blog. I keep a link to my page up near my tabs so I'm not sure how I forgot that this existed, but it happened and it's over. If I remember, and I hope I do, I will continue to update this blog with posts about my life and what's going on. I have a few other blogs of varying degrees talking about other things such as college in and of itself, movies, and knitting. All of which I have not updated either. I think the website/profile thing I've updated most since February would be Twitter so I'd go ahead and follow me on that if you really want to keep track of me. I don't have much else to say except for the fact that it's nearing Christmas and I am beyond excited about that! Maybe I'll update on Christmas about what I got...

Junior Year Comes to a Close

As I said farewell to the seniors from my high school today, I realized that I only have one year left of the hell hole of high school. I love my friends and my classes are pretty cool, but the thing that makes it a hell hole are my parents and few classes and people that go to my school. I'm so glad that my year is closing. I only have three more days of class and two of them are half days. One of my earlier posts had something about where my cousin was killed by a police man, well his funeral is going to be sometime between Wednesday and Sunday and I'm nervous and sad. I'm also angry at my father because when he cry's he isn't a man about it. He starts to cry and he puts on his sun glasses and tries to act as if nothing is wrong. Well, dad, it's really weird to put your sunglasses on after you just took them off because you are definitely inside. So why don't you grow a pair and take them off because you just look like a pussy wearing them. Show your tears...

Life

Life is life is life, my friends. School is time consuming, looking for a job sucks, and getting horrible grades on tests that are for classes in your major is heart crushing. That being said, I still thoroughly enjoy the class. I realize that I need to study more and actually pay attention and care for what I'm doing in my classes. You learn a lot of life lessons in college and it is definitely a place where things come raining down on you. You have to be fast and able to deal with the shit that falls from the sky. It's hard, but if you try you can do it. I need to get my shit together, buckle down, and try as hard as I can to do what needs to be done. As of now, this includes studying for classes, paying attention in said classes, knit like my heart depends on it, search for jobs, apply for scholarships, and work out. It's so strange how it feels like things can pile up when, in reality, you can take a step back and a deep breath and realize that there are many small step...
