Can't fight this feeling anymore.

This is my last day in Illinois. It is funny how coming home can influence you. Since home for me is about 110 miles away from Chicago, I have been listeing to rap and such nonsense. It is weird because I usually don't listen to it. I forget how ghetto my town of Freeport is because I live in Idaho now. I always love coming back though. Everyone I grew up with is here, and it is always fun to visit with those you've known all your life. I got to hang out with my best friends, and with family I hadn't seen since the summer. It is sad to me that after I leave for Utah tonight, I won't be back in Illinois until July. I always forget how beautiful the country and landscape is here. I love it :)

Anyways, right now I am listening to Journey with my dad, admiring Steve Perry's voice. I just got home from church. Going to church in the Freeport ward is always fun because I know everyone, and everyone there knows me, and observed me as I went through the awkward stages of adolescence. Nothing has changed much. Almost all of the kids I grew up with were there. Nothing much has changed, even with the returned missionaries that just got back. Nonetheless, I love coming home. I have decided someday I am going to live close by. I definitely don't want to live in Freeport, but maybe up in Wisconsin or Iowa. I can't wait until I have graduated. I want to go on a roadtrip so bad and visit all the places that I have longed to go to. If I have money, that is.

Tonight I leave at midnight with my friends to go back to Utah. Brilliant. I love roadtrips, but this is going to be a long one. My Christmas break has gone by way too fast. I only have a week left. Then I get to go to more classes. That will be fun. Anyways, I should probably go and pack my stuff so I am ready to leave. Happy belated Christmas, and don't do anything I wouldn't do!

You maniacs! You burnt it up! Darn you! Darn you all to heck!

Well helllllllllooooooo!

A comment about the picture. It is friggen hilarious. Don't hate.

I realize that I shouldn't be blogging right now because I have an essay to write for tomorrow and a few other things to do. I just really don't feel like doing it, and I am stressing out majorly because of this stupid class. I want to take a break. So I am!

This past week has been so crazy! I have had so much to do, and so little time, and so little sleep. I honestly haven't been this tired in my whole life. Except for when I had mono in the seventh grade. That sucked. Anyways, I have had lots of homework and essays to write. I've not a single idea how I am going to live next semester with the 20 credits I will be taking.

I actually started this blog last night, but I wrote one of the five remaining essays that I needed to write. Ridiculous, right? Yeah, I know. But this is my last week of this semester so it makes sense that it is going to be stressful. I know it is only going to get harder, because I am only a sophomore. Luckily next year, I'll be transferred to Pigfarts! Just kidding. After this year, I will be halfway done with my degree. Crazy! When I was younger it seemed as if I would be in high school all of my life. It is weird to me that this is my last year as a teenager (sad, I know) and then I will actually have to be responsible! Dang! Just kidding. I guess I am sort of responsible now, since I am on my own and everything.

This blog is super random, I apologize, but I want to talk about my weekend. I did absolutely nothing but homework. I went to a party Saturday night which was really fun, until everyone was told to leave because the cops were on their way. Lame! It isn't like there was any alcohol, we were all just dancing to super loud music. It relieved a lot of stress for me. But then Sunday came, and the stress came back. I can't wait until after Wednesday. That will be when I finally can relax. Yay.

I got a couple more essays done now. It is Monday night. I have two more days of classes until testing days. Five more days until I get to go to Illinois! I am way excited. There is going to be a lot of snow, and I will be with the friends I grew up with. Can life get better? I submit that it cannot! I haven't seen them in forever, since I moved to Kansas. I don't get to go to Illinois as often as I would like.

Now that I have been working on this entry for well over 24 hours, I would like to say goodbye. Until next time, I bid thee farewell.

I still want David Archuleta and a rocketship.

First off, I would like to say happy birthday to my roommate, Lynzi!

So I haven't really blogged in a while. Well, since last week when I was in Kansas. I will update you on what has happened :)

I came back to Idaho from Kansas and completed another week here at BYU-Idaho. The week went by really slow, and I'm glad it is over.That means we only have two more weeks, then on to Christmas break. I am so excited. Illinois, here I come!

Last night was the much awaited David Archuleta concert. We got there an hour early, and there were tons of people standing in line. Luckily, we didn't have to wait to get rejected because we already got our tickets the day they went on sale. We did wait in a line to get into the auditorium though. We got in, and sat in out seats. Maquel, Larissa, Chelsea, and I all got seats on the floor because we are awesome like that.
The opening act was by a guy named Benton Paul, who I had never heard of. Apparently he is pretty popular. I see why, because he was very entertaining. I loved his music. Then, David Arculeta came on stage. It was fantastic. Everyone was so excited, so we all jumped up and danced when he was singing. I still can't believe that I actually saw him. He is such a great live performer. It is hard to believe he could sing that well while he dances and runs around on stage. He sang some of his pop songs, then he sang Christmas music. Such a beautiful voice! I wanted to meet him because he seemed so sweet and nice. He was always saying, "thank you," even when it wasn't needed. He was so adorable in that little brother sort of way. Well I am going to get ready to go get my ears pierced because Lynzi is forcing me and 2 of my other roommates to get them pierced. Okay Bye!!
