Hello Readers!

Sorry that I haven't updated in forever but I've seriously been insanely busy. I took finals and they went pretty well. It was so amazing to finish my freshman year at BYU. I liked my time there, but I'm glad it is over. I really need a break. And I would say that working at Disney World could be considered a pretty good break :]

I took my finals on a Friday, the same day that my mom came in town. It was so exciting because I hadn't seen my mom since Christmas Break! I went to the airport where my sister, Julie, sister-in-law Amy, and nephew Jack were all waiting! Then all of us went to downtown Salt Lake City and checked into our hotel! Kelli joined us later as we went to Buca di Beppo to carb load! The next morning my mom, Amy and I got up super early and made our way to the start line of the SLC Marathon. The race was huge. There were like ten thousand racers.

It was a really hard race for me. I usually enjoy the first ten miles, and then the pain sets in, but not this time. I was feeling awful from the very beginning. But it was such an amazing race for me because even though it was one of the hardest things I've ever done, I felt so amazing. I finished in 1:59:36... my goal was to finish in under 2 hours. I just barely made it and it was such a thrill! I don't know what is wrong with me, maybe I am just an emotional person, but I was super emotional at the finish line! After the race we all headed back to my sister, Kelli's apartment. The next was just a lot of fun. I mostly just hung out at my sister's place with my mom.

We hung out and just had a lot of fun. We went and did some shopping, watched movies, and hung out with family. I saw my aunt and uncle which was fun because they are leaving in June to go to France on a mission for our church. I then went back to Provo to say by to the friends I had made my freshman year of college!

It was good to see them and I really hope we keep in touch with them next year!

That weekend we spent some time at a different aunt's house and babysat my nephew! He is so cute. We went bowling twice because he absolutely loves it! And he's pretty good. He totally beat me both times! Buttt.. I do have to say that he got bumpers and I didn't! haha.

On Sunday morning I flew to Houston and got to hang out with my Dad for like a hour. It was so good. I hadn't seen him since Christmas either. I missed him! I then caught a plane to Orlando, met up with my friend Laura and then we stayed at a hotel Sunday night. We woke up really early to catch a bus to Vista Way apartments to check into the Disney College Program! It was so fun. We got assigned to our apartment and moved in! The apartment isn't that great. But 2,800 people all from the disney college program live there and it's a really fun social place!

After we got moved in we went onto Disney property and got fingerprinted for background checks. Tuesday morning we got went and registered some information. They gave us a lot of information and then checked us for the "Disney Look." Pretty much just make sure you don't have too many piercings or tattoos and such. Well one of the requirements is that you don't have any extreme hairstyles or colors. Well apparently mine was too intense because they made me dye it. So now my hair is officially brown! Wahoo! Seriously Disney is super hardcore. If you do anything wrong they will kick you out of the program. Good thing I'm not going to do anything crazy or scandalous! Anyways! I also had a swim test for lifeguarding and I passed! Very excited. I found out that I am working at Port Orleans Resort. I will move around a little bit, but that is my main spot! I start training there tomorrow! On wednesday we got our passes that let us into the parks as much as we want! So of course we have been going as much as possible! We've gone to Magic Kingdom and Epcot so far... but we will make it everywhere eventually! Here are some of the friends that I've made so far!

It's been fun to meet people, but I'm glad that I came with my friend with Laura! I will be posting more about my adventures at Disney World! Miss you all!!

Updates.

So much going on! Yes, if you were wondering, it did snow again last night. Yes I realize that it is April 13th. This has got to stop! But that's okay! Finals week is upon us! Today I had my last classes! No more classes until Fall! Reading days start tomorrow. Hopefully I will be ready for all of my finals on Friday and I can just go ahead and take them. It's going to be great. I got a feeling... mhhmmm. Hahah. Anywaysss. I began packing yesterday. It is so insane! So. Insane. It's really weird to see my walls bare. But it's getting me more and more excited for the semester to be over, to have a week with my family and then be in Florida! Luckily my sister lives in Utah and I'm going to store my things there over the Summer. Very convenient. She's so nice to put up with me and let me store my stuff there!

Saturday night I decided to go on a run because I really needed to. I was planning on running six miles but as I began running I felt so great. I decided I could go further. I ran eleven miles. It was great. By the end I could feel some blisters coming on, but I wasn't too worried because I get blisters on my feet a fair amount but they are never that bad. They usually go away within a day or so. But when I got home after my run I took my shoes off to see bloody socks! The blister on my left foot was awful. I could barely walk on it. Here is a picture of it. This was taken on Sunday so it was even worse the night before.

So yeah there's on my right foot too but that one doesn't bother me at all. Sorry my feet are gross. And sorry if that grossed you out. haha. But yeah I'm just really hoping that I feel fine by Saturday because I am running the Salt Lake Half Marathon. And that would stink if I was in pain the entire time! So this Saturday my goal is to run the 13.1 miles until two hours. I'm not sure I can do, but I am going to try!

my weekend.

Was kind of crazy, in a lazy kind of way. On Friday night went to my sister's house to hang out with her and to get away from the dorms! It was great! I spent all of saturday at her place too! We watched General Conference on tv. General Conference happens twice a year and it is where the prophet and leaders of our church talk to us. It's four hours on Saturday and four hours on Sunday. So I was able to watch those at my sisters! Saturday night I went home to get new clothes to wear. I also checked the mail and found that the new phone I ordered came in! I ordered it on ebay for $10. My blackberry finally bit the dust :[

As you can see, it has been through a lot... So now I have this phone until June when I get a new one. It is taking me a while to adjust to not having a qwerty keyboard! On Sunday I awoke to find that it snowed. AGAIN. That's like three times this week. It srsly needs to stop! It is now officially April, which means the snow has got to stop!

But it's okay because I will be out of here in three weeks! This is my last week of classes! Next week starts finals! And to make sure that I am productive, I have deactivated my facebook account. Even though I only did it yesterday, I am already feeling like I am so much more productive. I have gotten so much done!! I feel great. Last night I registered for my Fall classes! I am taking:

Chem 351M (Organic Chemistry for Majors)

Math 313 (Elementary Linear Algebra)

Phscs 121 (Principles of Physics 1)

Soc 111 (Introductory Sociology)

Rel C 355 (Judaism and the Gospel)

It's only 13 credits which is less than I have been taking, but I think it's a good load because these classes are really fundamental for me so I really need to focus on them!

11 days until my mom is here and my semester is over! and then 12 days until the Salt Lake Half Marathon. I am determined to break two hours! I was running a lot until I starting getting the first signs of shin splints. I've been taking it easy for the past five days. I also got new shoes so that should help. I think that tomorrow I'm going to try running and see how it goes!

Confession.

I love the biggest loser.

I don't follow it religiously or watch it every week, but when I do watch it I am so emotional. Like what is wrong with me? I bawl practically the entire episode. These people have struggled their entire lives with weight, and seeing them at the end of the episode when they see how much they have lost.... I like lose it.

This is the reason I rarely watch this show with people, because they're like what is wrong with you? I'm not really sure. But I love this show. Even though I don't have a hundred of pounds to lose, this show is so motivating for me: To become more active and lose the twenty pounds I do have to lose!

Seriously to me... This people are such an inspiration!

That is insane! I love it. It makes me cry a lot....
