etc. III

Anyone ever heard of The Hunger Games? Well my mom has been trying to get me to read the trilogy for a while now. Me being as stubborn as I am, had no desire to read them. Fearing that it would be like Twilight (which I am not a fan of). But once my mom told me it's not about vampires, I decided to give it a shot. I'm only on chapter 9 right now, but I am already in love. At least, with Peeta Mellark... 'the bread boy.' Is anyone else currently reading/have read any of the books in the trilogy? I'd LOVE to know what your thoughts are!

Another thing, I posted a few weeks ago that I finally made an Etsy! I will be selling hand-made dream catchers of different sizes, here's a sneak peak. ;)

ect part II.

I have officially graduated high school as of Feb. 14th, 2011. I am so relieved! Even just 6 months ago, I honestly didn't think I would be able to do it. But I did and I'm extremely proud of myself. Getting my diploma has been one of the most challenging things I have ever done in my 17 and 1/2 years of living. I'm just happy that I can finally move on to college. I think what I'm going to do, is get my general classes done at Dixie State (with an additional class of Phlebotomy) untill I can afford to pay for a bigger, and better college. That way, I'll have a well paying job untill I make my way there.

These last couple weeks have been pretty decent. I made a new friend, which was wonderful and exactly what I needed. I'm finally realizing what life is all about. It's not about having a ton of friends, going out everynight, and trying to fit in. It's about being happy. Being happy that you're alive, and healthy! (Okay, in my case not so healthy. But healthy enough to still be alive!)

I have been going to church the last few weeks. I had an appointment with my bishop last Sunday, and we talked about how I would get my diploma the following day. I have never seen someone get so excited for my well being.

I hope everyone had a good Valentines day. I sure did!

Once again I have not been blogging as much as I'd like. So many things have been going on! In the good sort of way of course.

I have overwhelmed with school, but I am finally graduated. All my hard work has completely paid off. Believe it or not, I have written an award winning essay, and I was granted a scholarship to DSC. Which, isn't the school I want to put my focus on, but it will make it easier by not having to save up as much money as I thought. I am so excited, I can't even put it into words! I finally did something for MYSELF.

I have been trying so hard to grow out my hair. I want it short, untill I see some girl with long flowing dark hair. It makes me jealous, I have no idea what to do really.

Other than that, nothing else has been going on. Anything interesting happen lately? I've sort of been out of the loop.
