What's going on these days in the life of Lara.
Okay. It's been a while. Here are just a few (thousand) thoughts I've been having. And a story to start off with. Enjoy. Or just don't, and wait for more pictures.
Today started out with me walking out of the shower, wrapped in a towel, into a room full of men. They were painting. This is in my new apartment, south of BYU, rather than West (it makes a big difference, I tell ya). Fast forward half an hour and you would have found me dressed, the power out (whoops - didn't time that one well), the computer guy over to fix our internet (out for a week+), and a shipment of desks arriving. Oh, and the men painting. But it's all over now, our internet works, the walls are painted (which makes me feel oh so much better about this apartment), the power is on, and my room finally completely unpacked and moved in.
And right now I'm taking a break from math. Ya heard. I haven't done math for years, and all of the sudden I'm in Family Finance at the Y, which means I have math homework. Not a big deal for the math people out there, but I AM NOT ONE OF THEM.
Oh, which brings me to the bigger decision and commitment I made last weekend: I'm going to school after all this fall. Wait, what? That's not news because you never knew I was thinking of not going? Oh, right. Well, all summer, while I wasn't posting anything but pictures, I was deciding whether or not to quit school at the Y, join UVU for their culinary program (still a possibility/plan for the future), or just to work for a year. Because I was sick of school. And dance. But three days before school started I decided to go back, and I'm feeling good about it. BYU is cool after all, and dance is good (though still having to focus on not getting caught up in the drama of it).
Moving on.
About half of all the friends I have ever had are either married, engaged, or having babies. Or their second babies. This is the truth. I cannot go onto facebook for even a day without seeing that more people are engaged. Everyone.
The other thing, babies are having babies. BYU is covered in children pushing around strollers full of babies that they made. Wait, what?
Here's something I realize over the summer: DO NOT DATE OTHER GUYS WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GET OVER A PREVIOUS LOVER. Seriously, though. They know, they understand. It's embarrassing, and just downright mean. And you don't really get it till months later. But this is just something I realized, nothing to do with my own personal experiences, ya know. Just, uh, guessing.
Also, I got really great advice from my dear friends, the Longhurts, on dating. Well, more specifically on kissing. Heather left me with this little tid bit before I left: When in doubt, kiss. That's what I always say. New idea for Relief Society plaque projects: "Return with honor.... when in doubt, kiss."
Moving on.
My professor (a man) for my Intro to Family Processes class today showed us clips from Pride and Prejudice (A&E version), Fiddler on the Roof, and Anne of Green Gables. What up!
The stairs on campus kill me just as much as they ever had. Maybe more. All I know is that once I reach the top I'm out of breath, purple, and sweating up the heezy. It takes an entire class period to cool off, because on top of having to hike the stairs, it's 90 degrees outside. Ugh. I'm ready for fall and Christmas (literally just listened to a Christmas song or to. No judging.).
Okay. I think that makes up for all the commentary I didn't have during the entire summer. Here, let's finish it up with a cute video or two.
