Life Lately

Hey, guys. Guess what? I didn't fall off the face of the earth. Here I am! And here's life lately:

First off, I graduated!! whoohoooo!
On Thursday, May 30th me and 600 of my closest friends ("closest friends" being defined as the people I have literally spent the last 12 years of my life with) graduated from Dear Old AF High.
And here are some lovely photos of me and my friends and family on that day:

Me and the bestie.

The Fiends.

The Family, minus our missionary.

My Sr Trip took me to NYC! where i ate the best food in the whole world and walked the Brooklyn Bridge and saw 5 Broadway shows and went to the 9/11 memorial and stood in Time Square and got soaked to the bone in the pouring rain and walked through Central Park and took the Subway/learned about public transportation and ate hot dogs on the front steps of the MET where i had the biggest migraine and and and SO many other things. I'll spare you all the photos, but i will include a few:

Time Square.

The New York sunset from the top of the Rockefeller building.

New York in the rain.

The hallway of strollers in the Manhattan LDS Church building.

A lovely photo of The Lake in Central Park. Don't those row boats look fun?!

The largest piece of pizza i could find.

The friends who are more like family.

And to finish off, the NYC skyline.

Well, that's life lately, aside from Smoothie King, rodeos, concerts, and boating.
Sorry it's been so long.

been too long.

here's the thing.
i feel like i haven't written in forever.
sorry that i'm a fiend.

the school year has already taken it's toll on my sleeping habits and most of my other ones too.
sleeping 5 hours or less is getting normal again.
stressing over homework is getting normal again.
and procrastination? yeah that one has just always stayed normal...
(yeah... i should probably do something about that....)

so i don't really know the reason for this post, but i just kinda needed to post something on here.
(mostly because i was going to face severe consequences from Em if i didn't, but i mean: it's fine.)

ok, but really. I just had a news flash yesterday that might be in any sense noteworthy.
so i've been workin' at SK since the first week of July, 2011, right?
and now, there are only three of us there that have worked since then.
it's freakin' me out a little. I'm the second "oldest" employee. I feel like i should know a little bit more about my job by now but i really don't.... oh well. maybe I'll work on that.
also, my bosses just hired 5 new people and i've been training them this week. so that's weird too.
i feel all mentor-y and it makes me nervous 'cause it's gonna be my fault if they end up... not good.
(here's hoping they don't hate me yet.)

Any-who, on a completely different, but ok, not-so-different note: I love my job. Mostly because of these lovely ladies below. I love these girls. They just bring so much SUNSHINE into my life. ;)

If you ever wanted to know, this is what the SK girls do when it gets slow ;)

[ok, lil' explanation about the vid. so this kid keeps calling me sunshine, right? well i was telling them about it (and they were teasing like any good SK employee would) and i looked outside. Of course, it was a cloudy day. So, like any good Marley moment, i busted out singing that first line: "I got sunshiiiine, on a cloudy day!" basically we had our very own "my-life-is-an-actual-musical" moment and i was TOO pleased. so i made them do it again for the sake of memories.]

anywho,
senior year is looking bright so far.
i'll write soon :)

your dreamer
