20 is a Magic Number
It really is! I am having a blast, and I've only been 20 for a week. I've been able to spend a lot of time with friends and family. And I'm not gonna lie: I got some pretty cool stuff. I also rearranged the living room (again), and I did it all by myself because it was a spur-of-the-moment idea. I feel very proud. Of course, I asked for validation from the one and only Hot & Spicy, and she gave it to me heartily. Megan gave me shelves for the living room wall, and they're the exact same ones that Amanda had up before, so I was able to put them up right away. They were perfect. I also decided that I really like getting cards for my birthday. They don't have to be anything amazing; I just really like the notes people put in them. They make me happy.
The semester is over. It has been for a while, but I haven't written since then. I did so much better than I thought I would! It's the Sudoku, I tell ya. It kept me from falling asleep in class. It was also the fact that I had awesome teachers. They were all usually pretty great. The falling asleep problem just resulted from my lack of going to sleep at a decent time every night. Sleep sometimes feels like a waste of time to me.
Payson Pool is now open! Hooray! I love that place. It's brand new, so it's super nice, and there are a lot of fun things to do. I don't start working there until next Monday, but I might stop in if I can. I am so excited for summer.

The Checklist
Ya, this is hilarious. But I'm also seeing it happen over and over, especially being here in P-Town. Too many people just wanting to go to the next step in their lives and not caring to see what could happen in between.

Underneath the Blacktop
Right now I'm in Moab with some of my favorite people ever. This is my photo summery of what we've done.
There were three vehicles being driven out: one RV and two Jeeps.
Dave and I were driving the Big Brother Jeep. It's pretty cool.
These are the adults on the trip. They are so fantastic! I love them.
The next day Dave had to do his taxes (haha...), so the rest of us went to find a park. We found the coolest one ever! It was full of musical instruments.
Me and Mandi took really good care of the kids.
Next we went to Arches, and it was super windy! But still as beautiful as ever. We also became Junior Rangers. I was pretty excited.
Today we went Jeeping. :D Mandi and I were in one Jeep with a few of the kids. Linda decided to take some cool pictures, too.
It was a ton of fun! I have a lot of videos, too, but I don't want this post to go on forever and ever. Plus, I think there are only a couple people who would watch and enjoy them. But they are fantabulous (that was for you, Mandi). Yay Moab! I love it. I'll get to drive tomorrow, and will perhaps have more to blog about. Hopefully nothing TOO exciting. ;) I'm out!

I love music and stuff
The Fray is coming again. And I'm going. Hooray! Anberlin is also coming again. I'm still deciding about that one.
What a busy week! On Saturday morning Gordon and I went to Temple Square to do some stuff there, like watch the Joseph Smith movie. It was awesome, as always! After that we went to the Festival of Colors at the Hari Temple in Spanish Fork. We got there at 3:45 and met two of the uuinnis and friends and watched the dancing they had going on. By 5:30, when the colors were thrown, the place was packed and people were still coming. I heard about people parked almost a mile away! It was so crazy. There was so much colored chalk, too. When it was thrown it was impossible to breathe, as Megan had warned, so I ended up with color lung. It has healed for me now. I hope it's the same for everyone else who was there. I still keep finding pink powder everywhere I go. :)
Yesterday I donated plasma and almost passed out. I had left, but then I went back in to change my next appointment, and I started feeling dizzy. They took good care of me, though. I lived and got free crackers.
My computer also decided to pass out yesterday. It had been getting slower and slower over the last couple of weeks, and last night I was doing homework, and all of a sudden my computer froze up and beeped at me. It's done this before, and sometimes if I just wait it will come back to life, but this time it didn't, so I finally just powered it down to deal with it later. When I finally got around to it, all of the information stored on my computer was in the wrong place, so some programs wouldn't work until they were reinstalled. I didn't do too much with that, but I found my information and backed up everything I didn't already have backed up to CD just in case it disappeared while I was trying to fix my computer. This took a few hours. I then restarted my computer, and surprise! everything was just like it had been before. Firefox remembered my tabs from when my computer froze, and my documents were all where they were supposed to be. It really was just like an April Fools joke. My computer thinks it's so clever. Too bad it got the day wrong. :) I think I'm going to go get my computer checked out today. BYU is doing a free PC check today. Hooray! Perfect timing. And now everything is all backed up for sure, so if they do anything, I'm a-okay.
If you read all that you deserve a cookie.
In Anthropology we're watching a movie about the evils of Wal-Mart. Yup.
