The Worst.

This title can pretty much sum up the last few weeks here. I'm the worst at writing on here, the weather has been the worst, and Keith owns a shirt that says "You're the worst". Which he decided to break out of the closet this last week and wear it with pride. hahaha. That boy always keeps me laughing. School is going well here. I am halfway done. 5 1/2 more weeks of school and then I can finally go home to the sunshine and beach. I'm not going to lie, the past 3 weeks have been hard ones. Every other school is getting out for summer and I am still here for awhile...with the worst weather ever. I have been more homesick these past weeks than I have since I came here in January. I miss the sun and my family and just San Diego in general. It snowed at the end of May and has been rainy, windy, and cold since then. Definitely NOT warm. There are good things about this place though. I promise. My classes are all really fun. I love them actually, which is rare. The only one I'm not very fond of is science, but Briana (my roommate) and Keith are both in that class with me soooo I get through it. We all have A's in there and if you know anything about my past science grades that should be a shocker.. It is ridiculously easy though. haha the kind of easy that actually bores you. My teacher looks like Dwight from The Office, so we pass time by making Dwight jokes. We sit in the back of class so we don't interrupt his lectures. I guess I do kind of enjoy that class. But it is still towards the bottom of my fun list. That's all there really is to say about the learning part of being here...

Outside of the classroom I feel like I always have something to do (It is usually homework, but surprisingly not all the time. I have discovered that if I just go do my hw after class or before eleven at night, it actually gets done and leaves more time to hang out! hahaha). Keith and I are both playing lacrosse up here on competitive teams and both our teams are undefeated! He usually plays goal in the second half of his game and ends up saving his team every time. Keith likes to drag me to the field on days that we don't have practice and have me shoot on him. It's probably pretty funny to watch since I end up hitting him more than a few times which I don't think he enjoys...yet he still drags me out there with him. It's all good though, I enjoy the extra practice and fresh air. I actually really like watching him play since I have never had the chance before. He is an amazing goalie! Our games are on the weekends so we don't usually do much other than lacrosse, a movie, and church. haha. I am glad I am playing up here though...and that I forced Keith to play too since he is having fun now. There really isn't much more to do around here. There is a mall in Idaho Falls but I have decided that I don't need to spend anymore money and Keith has decided he is sick of waiting while I try everything on. hahaha I think both my parents can agree with him on that...

I had a hair fiasco. Most of my family knows about it, but I will share it again anyways. It is funny now that its all over. Well last semester I dyed my hair brown so this semester I decided I wanted to go back blonde. I went to the Paul Mitchell Partner School to get it done. The girl that was doing my hair asked what I wanted done to it so I told her. I wanted to go back blonde and get 2 inches trimmed off. She told me that would be easy enough so I trusted her. hahaha. Shouldn't have done that. It took 5 HOURS to dye my hair and when they finished rinsing it I was shocked. It was yellow/white. NOT what I wanted. Just wait, it gets better. She then started cutting my hair. Mistake again. Instead of the 2 inches I wanted off, my hair is now 4 1/2 inches shorter. I was a little upset at the end of that appointment. haha. I walked out at 11:30 and when I got in Keith's car he did not say a word. That's when I knew how bad it was! He later told me he thought I was wearing a wig when I walked out!! hahaha thanks Keith. We ended up going back the next day and through the tears and many complaints, my hair got fixed. I am happy to say that it is back to normal now :)

I think this is enough for one post. I really really really will try to get better at this. I am so excited to go home and to Utah for the 4th of July to see my family. I miss the beach, the sun, mexican food, being barefoot, laughing with my best friend Lauren Soppe, my family, Pizza Port, my own bed, and basically everything else about Cardiff by the Sea. I have many things to look forward too! All the things listed above as well as one more...Maren is having a babyyyy! She is so excited and so am I! I get to be an aunt to a cute little nephew and be there when it all happens. I can't wait for the new addition!

Well, I will write back soon :) love you all!
