Yeah. . . about that. . .

SO, The other night i dreamt that I was en route to Santiago, Chile. The thing was, we HAD to get there in a straight line, and by some way or another. We made numerous stops here and there, but by the time i woke up, we hadn't made it. sad story.

In real news, 3 days til the deadline for turning in work for the senior portfolio show. I really couldn't be happier either. The sooner this is completed the better. I thankfully put myself of a pretty straight and narrow schedule this semester so I wouldn't be rushing and freaking out at the very end. I fixed what i needed to, rebuild stuff i needed to, and alls i have left to go is to print a magazine. (it's more complicated that it sounds).
Any other normal person would have just taken their file to a printing place and gotten it done, lickety-split. But, of course it just wouldn't be me if i didn't do things the more challenging way: Doing it all myself. I went on quite the adventure to get the paper i needed, and so i'm going to print it myself, 2 sided, then fold it, and then either sew it together or just staple it. I haven't quite decided yet. The printer i'm using is HUGE and complicated, and the last time i used it, it seriously took me 3 hours to print a liitle book i made. So, i'm thinking the same time or more for this one too. However long this takes, the result is AWESOME. SO, in long, it's worth it. (Plus, in my mind,for something to be truly 'mine', i have to assemble it completely by myself, it's just a product from the local Staples or Image Pro.) I'm odd.

Other than that taking center stage in life, there have been some good breaks. I went to Vegas a couple of times for a wedding and also for kicks. Here's some from the wedding trip:






it was fun. The second time, my mom and i went for fun a few days after my birthday. we totally shopped and walked 'til we couldn't anymore. Literally. Our feet hurt for a couple of days after that. haha







The b-day was good. had a party at work, then the fam. came up for some good times. i don't like the number 22 i decided though. It may be even, but it's still odd to me.
My sister competed in the Miss Native American Dixie pageant this weekend. It was really cool to be apart of that stuff again. It brought back so many memories of my time as Miss Native American SUU. She didn't get the title, but she was just fine with that. Good sport.

AND POW WOWS FOR ALL....
The SUU pow wow was fun too. . .





I guess this is what i get for being a lazy poster. A super long post. SO much has happened this month. it was a good one :D

When you're quiet, no one proves you wrong

Time is just going by! Ahhhhhhhh!

The freakout is mainly because all of my 4 years (basically) of portfolio work have to be perfect in a month exactly. scary. I'm in alright shape for it, it's just overwhelming to think about it.


So I try not to.

This stuff will be hanging in a gallery with other immaculate, perfect works. It's a little odd. but i think i will be just fine,(as my mom tells me, along with 'pray about it'). good thing for that.

As crazy as it all sounds, i have been thinking about how much time has gone by, and pretty soon, i will have NO idea what to do next. I plan on working at LearnKey for a while after i graduate, but from there... who knows. I keep thinking about this 'rush time', and how i should enjoy it while I still can. I know that as soon as i'm done, and life is cruising, i'll be bored, and i'll miss ALL of the good times. Don't you hate that?

I do.

Life outside of school is great. Work is fun as always, and Cody and I make up for lost time whenever we can. I have my little projects that keep me going, and we now teach the Gospel Doctrine class in church. It's a funny little calling because we (each) teach about once a month basic, basic gospel principles. Sometimes it's hard to stretch a topic that everyone knows about into an hour... but it works out enough. It's been fun and very strengthening to get back to the basics and evaluate what i am doing and not doing.

I feel good.

This weekend we are going to Vegas to attend a wedding. it'll be a fun getaway. Odd timing for a wedding, (especially in all of my portfolio madness). but i like a good break every now and then (more like every weekend) :S You know, being a soccer mom is sounding sweeter and sweeter everyday. Playtime, all the time. (or so I think).

I'm hopeless. haha

Anyway, I think I've spilled enough beans for now.



Long live Man Vs Wild!
