My groove

I put in my two weeks at work today.
It's bitter sweet because working at Pizza Plus was probably one of my 
favorite things about living in Logan.
But I am moving back to Utah county in 2.5 weeks!
I'm ridiculously excited to get into my video production program
and to live closer to my friends and family again.
Yay for happiness!

Stars

Less than a month people.

Surprises

I just applied to UVU for the spring semester.
Surprise!
I'm in the International Studies program right now and it just doesn't seem right.
On top of that, I miss my family, friends, and boyfriend.
So I'm transferring and going into Digital Media with an emphasis in Cinema Production.
I. Am. Excited.
I had always thought about doing something in digital media because 
I love editing and making videos.
But I convinced myself that it wouldn't be practical.
What kind of jobs would I be able to get?
After doing something I wasn't passionate about for a semester I decided to 
throw practicality out the window and chose something that made me happy and excited.
And guess what?
I'm probably the most happy and excited I've been in months.
So here's to positive change and to the future.

And here's my favorite cover of the week.

This is my life

Story time.

So I had just gotten into the shower. Just gotten my whole body and head of hair wet, when the fire alarm went off. I live on campus and they have this rule that the whole building needs to evacuate in the case of a fire, or in the case of idiot boys on the third floor. I quickly decided that I did not want to go outside soaking wet so I turned off the water and was on my way to turning off the bathroom lights when there was a knock on the door. The building RA had gotten to our room really fast and caught me. She told me I needed to come outside like everyone else. I moaned a little bit, squeezed some water out of my hair, grabbed my towel, and reluctantly followed her into the cold. We were one of the last ones out and I heard a little gasp among the crowd as I walked toward them. Then my annoying roommate chimed in exclaiming, "Haha OMG she's in her towel!! Lololol." (That's how she sounds in my mind). So there I stood for like 8 minutes with a bunch of strangers. My hair was dripping and by the time we were let back in you could tell where I had been standing thanks to a little puddle. It wasn't terrible, I didn't feel awkward or anything, my ears were just so cold! And I wanted to smack a couple people that were whining about the chilling wind.

So there ya go.
An other exciting day in the life of Katie.
Jealous?

The truth is

I hate living in Logan.

When I first moved here I was excited and hopeful that 
I'd make so many new friends, I'd have great experiences, I'd love my classes.
Sadly, that is not the case.

I tried to be outgoing for the first month.
I went to dances, barbecues, bingo nights, pancake parties, study groups.
But it just became hard.
I have never been that person that befriends everyone in the room.
I've had the same best friends since 8th grade.
And I miss them. I miss my boyfriend. I miss my family.
So much.
I didn't realize how hard it would be to leave the people I love.

Everyday seems worse than the last.
Maybe I'm being dramatic.
Maybe I've given up too early.
All I know is that my heart has been hurting for the past three months.

So here I am.
Alone. Depressed. Passionless. Angry
My eyes are red and blotchy as I write this post.
Longing for the place I call home and the people I cherish.

Nononono

November.
I can't believe it's November!
In celebration, here are somethings from Pinterest that I love.

I laughed way too hard at this for way too long

This is not even a joke.

This is how I feel about that fact that it's almost socially acceptable to play Christmas music.

This is probably the cutest Christmas decoration ever.
I'm so doing it on November 23rd.
