oh yeah. the announcement.

so this morning i did my normal blog-check thing where i just look around to see what everyone is up to and i realized it's cori's birthday. so i texted her. duh. but after the general "happy birthday!" "thanks!" thing she asked me about what my big news is. oh yeah. shoot. i had completely forgotten that people actually read this and are probably wondering about that last post. so here it is.

deeeep breath.

i'm done with byu.

for now at least.

i've been in the constant state of panic lately with trying to figure out what i'm doing with my life and it finally came down to my dad saying (in all of his wisdom and understanding) "well then sis, why don't you just come home?" and i am going to do just that. i have applied to EITC for the dental assisting program and have also deferred my place here at the Y just in case. i may sound like a confused little girl but guess what? i am. i will be heading home as soon as i get this rotten housing contract figured out and i will stay there at least through the summer. sounds random? oh, it is. sounds crazy? yeah, most definitely. but i think its just what i need. time to get my head screwed on right. so there it is, my big announcement. i'm dropping out of byu. for now.


p.s. the wallet was indeed stolen. i wish i could just kick the person that took it. really really hard. it is such a PAIN getting everything figured out with the bank and the police station and all the payments i have due... ugh. and the kicker? they spent $81 before i stopped my card... $20 of that was spent at KFC. fatties.

really?

this week has been an emotionally and physically exhausting one. i'm beat. and to top it off, my wallet is lost, misplaced, or stolen. fantastic. however, i hope everyone else is having a better start to their 2010. i'll have some pretty gigantic news to share soon, but you'll all just have to wait until its set in stone. i don't like counting my chickens before they hatch... or something like that.

reverting back...

Hi my name is Amy and I have a problem...

I'm turning back into a photoshop junkie.

In high school I had to use photoshop for 4 years for yearbook so I became fairly proficient but the 2 years between then and now has caused me to become a tad bit rusty. Well, a lady that I did some photos for requested that I make her some Christmas cards and I agreed so I went to Adobe.com and got the free 30 day trial of photoshop. I'm hooked again. I've been playing around on it ALL NIGHT. I made my new backgrounds for both this blog and my photography blog (check it out here) and a Christmas card for my roommates and me with the hankerin' to do even MORE.

I think I need help.

Happy Holidays! :)

yesh, i'm a 12 year old girl.

You wanna know where I was at 3:15 am on November 20? Well duh, watching NEW MOON! We did it as kind of a birthday celebration for Heather and Nancy (their birthday is really on Sunday) and it was a hoot. I learned a couple things though, like that I am not in any way a pleasant person at 3 in the morning or that even the "older crowd" that went to the later showing feels the need to squeal everytime Taylor Lautner's abs filled the screen. It was a good time ;)

Amanda, Nancy, Me, Brittnee

Team Emmett alllll the way! (I like 'em tough and sparkly!)

Brittnee's masterpiece, she copied the flower from the New Moon cover

The supid Cinemark people made us wait outside even though there was NOBODY in the lobby. I was so stinkin' cold!

Heather, Brailee, and Brittnee in the lobby (FINALLY) waiting for them to let us in our theater! So much excitement!

The whole 3 am thing just isn't for us. As Amanda says, "We look like DEATH"

Overall New Moon was a pretty good movie... there are a couple cheesy parts but that's just a given, it was WAY better than Twilight though!

breaking the sterotype.

I really don't know if there is a legitimate reason for me to be writing this particular post, maybe I'm just fed up with a couple things... I feel the need to break up one of these silly stereotypes that goes along with being a single 19 year old girl at BYU.

Guess what?

The boys around this place?

They really don't date.

They're in fact, really stupid when it comes to this particular matter.

I have been here now for three semesters and when I go home and that inevitable "Hey are you engaged yet?" question pops out of someone's mouth I just want to laugh. No, no I am not. By no means am I the girl that is hunting for her eternal companion, I am, however, the girl that gets sick of sitting around and waiting for that magical day when all the BYU boys will live up to all the hype and just starting asking girls on dates. I don't know what it is but it seems like boys assume that if they ask a girl on just one date then it means commitment, or even worse, a clingy whiney girl that they'll have to deal with. So untrue. A date is just supposed to be a fun way to get to know new people; it doesn't need to be pricey, elaborate, or last for hours. I guess this is just something that's been bugging me... I mean, I even caved and did the asking last weekend. Is it too much for a girl to want to be taken out every once in a while? Really?

my favorite day of the year*

*except for my birthday and christmas

Today (Friday the 13th) is national To Write Love On Her Arms day! I cannot even tell you how much I love this organization... TWLOHA is dedicated to helping teens through really tough issues like depression, self-injury, and suicide. I love supporting this cause since its such a hush-hush thing but most teens will experience some form of depression in their lives and this is an organization completely dedicated to making sure that those that struggle know that they have support. So I just wanted to get the word out there, remember to be supportive, open up and discuss these tough issues.
