Has It Really Been That Long?

Why yes, yes it has. I guess I probably have some updates to share. For example, school is done. I finished my last final on Thursday, and I have just been hanging around Provo since then. I got to see my roommate graduate. This next part is just for Hayley: I did a fist pump when they called your name and when you were on the stage getting your diploma cover. I forgot to tell you, but I wanted you to know. Anyway, I had my last day (night) of work on Friday. It was much harder to say goodbye than I thought it would be. Let me remind you about my job. It was 9pm-1am, Monday through Friday. I got to clean for 20 hours a week. In the (almost) middle of the night. When I just put it like that, though, it sounds absolutely awful. I had 14 credit hours this semester (not too bad, but a decent amount of work) which means that I was in class all day and then I tried to fit in homework and naps between my last class and work, but that didn't happen as often as I would have liked. (Neither the homework or the napping, that is.) So it was hard to balance everything. That also makes it sound bad. But my job was awesome. I made some really good friends (some better than others) and I had an awesome boss. I feel like I am going to get all sentimental if I continue, so this will be the last thing I say about my job. It was weird, boring, physically draining, and sometimes disgusting. But it was cool. So, what else is new? I'm going home to Omaha for the summer. I'm nervous to see how everything works out, but I think it will be good. I'm looking forward to seeing old friends that I haven't seen in a while, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing my family. Also, I'm seriously excited to not have school to worry about. My original plan was to stay in Provo for the summer and work and take classes. But I just had the feeling that that was the wrong choice. So, tomorrow I am heading east and I'm really excited (and nervous, stressed, and every other emotion that comes with flying across the country alone.) Anyway, I'm just rambling at this point. (But isn't that what a blog like this is for? Hmm.) Well, cheers everyone! To my Utah friends: have a good summer and try not to miss me too much. To my Omaha friends: See you all soon. :)
