Take Interest, Take Notice, Take ME with you.

So a lot has happened since ACC classes ended. I wake up at 12 am everyday. Its a bittersweet relationship I have with my bed; I love sleeping in it, but when Im there too long I end up feeling like a waste in Rachel world.  Note to self: get up at 10 everyday, and NOT go to bed after 4 am. Lets see, the 4th of July was a blast. Fun with the family, friends and Carla. I love that girl, I wish I could be more carefree like her. Next week was the 12 hours that never happened. There's pretty much nothing else to say other than, we left Austin at 8 p.m and left San Antonio at 8 a.m the next morning. Hm. There was this singles dance that was somewhat fun. Actually it really wasn't, we just had to make it fun, which is why i love how my friends are. They don't get grumpy when something ends up lame, they change it and make it fun. Last week, Bronwen, Kyria and I played Rockband for 6 hours straight. Yeah. Then everyday after it became the norm: Work, eat, come to Rachel's and play Rockband. That was probably one of the fun-est weeks  of this summer so far. This week is going by super slow. Maybe its because the hours I stay up late at night add on to the hours of the next day. Or maybe its because all i can think about it Utah. Im so ready to be at my "home" away from home. 

[Start of update- So first off.... 5 1/2 week school courses= Death!!!! school is killing me softly. GOOD THING ITS ALMOST OVER WITH!!!! Any way Kyria comes back from Hawaii today and my mom comes back from Florida today.... wow everyone is going everywhere but me. I guess i just have to wait it out till Washington D.C/NYC August 8Th 2008!! Hopefully I will be styling withOUT my braces and WITH my veneers..........We will see i will keep you up date. OH Bubby[Brian Pando] got his mission call to Barcelona, Spain!! How crazy BH [Braeden Hyatt] just got his call to Malaga, Spain!! Speaking of missions, my cousin decided to go on his mission to New york. I'm way happy for him!!!-End of update.] So my new obsessions, first its
 

I bought her fragrance that I've wanted for a while and I love it. I have always been a fan of hers because her clothes are so funky and fresh. ha ha. She definantly been a major influence in fashion. My second new obsession is the Chris Brown With You cover by Ingram Hill

I'm so in love with this remake, no but seriously. So third obsession are these cupcakes from heaven, actually from a local Austin company called Toot sweet cupcakes. Seriously they are the best cupcakes ever. Please go check them out.

I'm sorry but I can't stand him. I am a huge Spurs fan but since they didn't make it I'm going for the Celtis I really hope they when game 6 so far its BOS 29 LAL 24!! Go Celtics Today was such a lazy day I wake up go to the ortho and they tell me I need to wear my rubber bands more.... blah blah. Then I beat my self up beause if I had just worn my bands everyday I could have had my braces off plus maybe had my veneers on..!! Then I went to math only because we didn't have english today. Today in Austin it was like 101 outside so Matt and I went to barton
springs!! It was way cold but it felt so good. Peace out from sk3

Summer school I thought would be so easy. boy was I wrong. Acc has taken over my life, literally, i wake up at 8:30 which to others may seem like a reasonable time, but for me its still way to early. at least for summer for a 19 year old, come on!! so i have english for 1 hour an a half not bad then MATH from 1:10 till 3:45 its killer and the worst part is is that its not hard stuff, its actually quite easy, its just really time consuming, with the stupid linear equations and sucky polynomials or trinomials or whatever. and to add to the boring-ness of the class the teacher has an accent. there is not at all wrong with accents but anyone who has taken a class from a professor with an accent knows that it can be hard to focus when they say three and it sounds like tree. "what do trees have to do with math" is what i end up thinking instead of "what the heck is y=mx+b?". Other than school my social life has hit a very low peak, meaning i have no social life. yes i do have the occasional poker nights at elysemo's or the boys at 1031, or flight of the concord viewing with ely/tmi or aubster, but other weirdly i like it. I went to see dont mess with Zohan with my dad [which by the way was HORRIBLE] and it was fun and it was a friday. I began to remember those times when i was mortified to been seen with the parentals,[especially on a weekend] but now i dont mind it at all. maybe its just a stage every kid goes through??? back to the whole liking not being a social butterfly, i guess i needed to put that on pause, so i could do the important things and not miss out by partying. hmmm

so wow, i was going though my old photos and i found a class photo from kindergarden so I look up my friends that i remembered and i found them. its so weird all of them kind of remember me but not really its sad. I asked my mom why i remembered so much of my 3 year old life and she said it was probably because it was my first time in the states so everything was my first. My best friend Maura i found her so we were reminiscing about our fun times and everything and then i found some other kids. Facebook is so amazing isnt it! everyone has it. Even my mom does, or she did. I later found out that the only reason she got a facebook was to find me and see if I was still alive, because I didn't answer her calls, lead her to believe i was dead? funny?, i know. College does that to people. its everyones first to be out on there own and try new things, i guess they just disappear of the face of the earth, momentarily. i think calling my mom and dad everyday would be hard because i would miss them even more and them calling me every day made it harder to start life on my own. BUt then again i should be better at returning calls. EKK .

funny SNL skit!!

The first amazing thing in life is the power of song. I was on PEREZHILTON.COM of course since its a daily thing i do, and he posted this video of school choir in NYC called the PS22 chorus.[check out his blog HERE]. These kids are absolutely amazing. listening to them sing just gives me the chills.[look at the kid at 1:50, his passion loves it.]

The second amazing thing in life is how talking out feeling can help so much. I had a friend that lived down the hall from me come over last night and we just talked about life and what was bothering us and be both would have gasps of "OMG I feel the same way" and it is great how I feel after "venting" it out. Its something everyone should do! 

The third amazing thing in life is change. My mom called me last night to tell me she was coming to Utah so she could drive back to Atx with me. I am of course ecstatic to be coming home, but for a brief 2 hours I had this overwhelming sense of sorrow like "I'm not ready to leave, Utah's my home" i didn't know what to do or understand why I was feeling this way. But of course I realized Im feeling the need for change and that I know its something i have to deal with!

The Fourth amazing thing in life is Evian water spray. I usually get it at Ulta but Utah doesn't even have that here, but anyway its amazing it is just a spray can that does wonders. You can use it where ever when ever. and it just hydrates the skin. I love it.  You can get it pretty much anywhere like Ulta, sephora, Nordstroms, or Wallgreens .

So today was a sad day: Elyse left to go back to ATX. I know i get to see her in a week but. this past month, we spend everyday together and then just not hanging for a week will be hard. It was weird because I remember helping her move into the house she just moved out of. It kind of felt like a movie helping her pack, I was just sitting there with the sad happy music in the background already missing that house i was sitting in. Leaving Utah is going to be bittersweet. I'm so ready to go back home and just enjoy summer and be with the people I love most, but then deep down inside I want something new. I was watching "Up Town Girls" with Brittany Murphy[One of my fave actresses] and the last line of the movie said " Every story has an end, but in life, every ending is just a new beginning", and its so true! its make me so excited to see what happens next.....

So a lot has happened since march 21 2008. Kiks came and her birthday was a success it was fun getting to see her even though i saw her a week before in Texas! we had a birthday dinner and all the kids celebrated Easter Sunday together. The next week Happy Valley, every year has this Holi festival called the Festival of colors. You throw veggie color dye in the air and pretty much party. It was a blast! The next week was conference weekend and Whitney and i got tickets from the Bishop for Saturday session! It was Whitney and I's first time. So it was amazing. The Friday before i wore a Hanna Montana wig from Bed, Bath and beyond to a party. Its something to consider trying. Its almost like being someone else for a night! Another thing to consider: spending your days in the BYU library. whats best is to squirt purell into the palms of your hands when ever you see a purell dispenser.The fun part is that on the 3rd floor there is no purell in the purell dispenser so when the purell " comes out" pretend to  "eat" it, people will stare at you strange. Its a blast. That same weekend Whitney and i got into a fight. it was little but very significant. It started out with her telling me I wasn't accepting here because of her use of language and choice of clothing. she said "even though I'm Mormon now i still am going to dress and talk the way i want to because that's what makes me.. me". To her i guess that made sense for the way she was acting, but tell me if I'm wrong, but do the clothes you were and the choice of word make you who you are? It just wasn't making sense so we talked and talked and long story short: we aren't living together in the fall like planned, and i lost a really close friend. Yes we still talk and share past memories, but the close bond was gone. For good? well i don't know. its funny because whenever things didn't happen  way it was suppose to, both of us would say, "its for the best, things happen for a reason"

so today is the first post of my new blog i thought id give it a try. Also its my best friends birthday!! 18 and she came down to Utah for it so rmj.kmd.emd. are going to party!!! That picture I made last year for her and I entered it in a contest and won plus if you click HERE  rate it I can win stuff. so please VOTE. So heres a half update on my life in Utah so far.... I went to Uvsc in the fall and it was great. I made a huge mistake by taking an 8:00 class! Haha but it was still fun. I have had quite the apartment experience. First I lived with a girl whose boyfriend was over there constantly and him spending the night EVERY night. So i got out the first chance I got. The new apartment was ALOT  bigger and I payed the same. Weird. Then its suppose to be 5 girls in the apartments and as of now its just me and Jenna. Boring. She hasnt gotten the concept of living on her own and taking care of herself, meaning, shes a mess and doesn't pick up after herself. tell me if im wrong but when you move out of your parents house, dont you learn how to live on your own or do some people have everything done for them. haha. The boys around here are the same. They either want to get married or just play around. so with that said, I've had no luck. I met this girl Whitney in the elevator and from that night on were became bestfriends. Since Kyria is in other state i need someone help me out. I love her to death. I recently just took her to Texas and of course, as expected she LOVED it lol. Who wouldn't. well i gotta go get my hair done. Im going to try my hardest to keep this thing updated. <3>
