So good to be here! Cass and i got in at about 1 yesterday, did some shopping went to lunch and then she left, i attempted to take a nap unsuccesfully so andrew and i went to visit Preston which was horrendously awkward and i probably said like three words to him. bah. Then i went to dinner with jamie which was nice, i really like hanging out with him i am glad that we could get together. Then i went home and chilled there for a while till chris called and then we went and walked around and talked. I really like hanging out with chris, he told me he would teach me how to play the guitar which would be cool.
I went to sleep at like 9:30 last night and woke up at nine which i feel pretty good about since i got like 2 hours of sleep the night before.
This morning i got up and went running....about 2 miles i am feeling pretty good about this running thing on thursday me and Cass did about 2.5, i have never gone that far it felt really good. I also measured my waist today and i have lost 3 inches so i am happy about that. I have also lost about 5 pounds since the last time i was home so that is also exciting. ok well i am off to have lunch with the girls....

oh yeah....
I am falling for Matthew Arnold
Dover Beach
he sea is calm to-night.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand;
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.
Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the A gaean, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.
The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.

i am pretty excited about the new edition to my blog!
So jared came up today it has been good to see him he is a funny boy and so very nice. This evening we all watched the office till nine then cass and jared went to get ice cream and i didn't go with them cause i am trying to be better about eating crap especially at night time so i just hung out with daniel and tyleen till 11 when they decided to go fly kites (hardcore kites of course) with janiece and her special friend eric and since i was cold WITHOUT going outside and since i assumed they would all be back at curfew in a hour i decided to stay home. So here i am not tired and not wanting to try to sleep with no one to talk to because ( dramatic pause) I DON'T HAVE SOME MAN TO SPEND MY TIME WITH
the worst part about it is that i don't even have class till 3:15 tomorrow! I don't HAVE to sleep tonight arg whatever.
chris called tonight it was good to hear from him i sent him a cd a little bit ago and he seems to be enjoying it which makes me happy i still don't know what to do with him he keeps saying little things that are cute and nice that confuse me. i am glad i am going home next weekend so we can hang out again.
alright i am out

Like Sands Through the Hourglass...
I feel like drama is stalking me.
It only became my drama when i went home, and i am glad that i am in rexburg again and the responsibility is easing off my mind Now that i am back it has simmered down to those around me. I don't think there is anything that injures me more than seeing people i love hurting and not being able to do anything about that. I feel like that has been the theme of my life the past couple of weeks. I just can't fix people. I can't do anything to help them, all i can do is listen and tell them i am sorry, and it frustrates me.
On the other hand school is going relatively well. I am enjoying my classes.
i just wish there were some light switch i could flick to make things better for people.

Busy Busy Busy
this week has been a wee bit insane.
well more than this week last weekend too
Jared-cass' friend- came up on thursday he is a way fun guy we all hung out and everything, on friday we went to this coolplace called Green Canyon about 15 minutes from rexburg, it is a pool/hotsprings place it was way fun we went with Melissa and JW and it was so good to see them. On Saturday we decided to go to Jackson Hole. So cass and jared and I left at like one went and got lunch there and just walked around it was so pretty and a little rainy which made it better. we got home around nine had some dinner then watched star wars: a new hope it was hilarious. I really like jared he is a way cool kid i am glad i could meet him. On Sunday Andrew came up to rexburg and came with me to church and then all of us went to Mesa Falls after that Andrew and i went on a walk it was so nice to talk to him I will miss him so much when he leaves. he left monday morning it was sad a little bit.
yesterday i had a paper due so i basically didn't sleep and got it finished just in time for class only to find out we didn't have to turn it in yet but i am glad that it is finished and that i can tweak it some.
this weekend i am going home for General Conference Jared lives in utah and cass is coming down so we are all going to hang out again, i am excited to see my family, jamie, chris, and elise.
here are some pictures from the weekend it was a good time
