last week.

Last week was crazy! I am so happy that my ling. senior capstone paper is finished and turned in! That was pretty much what my life revolved around. I didn't even go to Ingrid when she came to town on Thursday and she's my all-time fave singer! But that's ok, my friend couldn't make it and I didn't want to go alone. After late hours at the lib, four hrs of sleep over two days, and lots of stress, my paper was what I consider to be pretty damn good work, if I do say so myself! Friday at approx. 2:05, my life got a lot less stressful.

Friday night, I went to a cultural night that the school was having. Is it weird that I like stuff like that? because not a ton of people wanted to go to it. anyway, just as I got there, my friends were leaving!
I would have stuck around and browsed alone, but lately, I have not wanted to do anything alone! That in itself is weird because in the past, I've been completely content to go to activities, the store, even movies by myself. I find it funny how people can change and we don't even know it til we really step back and think about it.

Saturday, I spent most of the day in k-town getting everything ready for my house warming party! It was so so much fun and I am pleased with the turn out we had! The company and the food were great; I think people enjoyed themselves :) I was glad to see everyone! Alexis(haven't seen her in forever!) was going to come, but didn't which I was a little sad about, but that's okay. Also, a friend from my dept. was going to bring his roommate that my friend likes and they didn't come! I was sad for her sake because she was really looking forward to it. Guys and their excuses. I thought their reason for not coming was valid, but then I saw some stuff on facey b newsfeed afterwards that tmade me think only part of that was true. I wish they would have just told me they weren't coming and/or didn't want to come, especially when I saw my friend on Monday and he told me they were coming. I prefer honesty to the excuses.

Today, we're in Price visting the fam. My mom's uncle Brennon died last Tuesday, so we came down to visit everyone. I thought my grandpa would still be really sad, but he seems okay. The topic of death is strange to me. I never really know how to react to it. I've never had someone close to me die, so I really don't know how it feels or how I can help comfort those who were close to the person.

This week, it's the last week of classes and I have a couple of exams and then two finals next week on actual finals week! Then the end is here! I can't wait for summer. The other day my roommates and I were talking about what we were excited for most about summer and mine were: no school (only if I choose to not take two classes over the summer!), looking for a new or second job, crossing stuff of my life to-do list and the best of all--summer walks and drives in the evening/night. I love Utah summer nights and how calm they are. Perfect for hanging out, etc. I will miss them when I jet out of here for graduate school.

Good luck to all on finals, and to my friends who have (this past friday) graduated, and those that are graduating, congratulations!
