I'm alive...kinda

Every new year I tell myself that I'll blog more.

But guys, I'm serious this time.

To start of 2013 (a week late) I will talk about some new things in my life.

1. I moved back to PG and enrolled at UVU. I am so happy that I'm not in Logan right now.

2. I started knitting and totally suck but think it's fun. I hope to be able to make myself socks one day.

3. I am obsessed with beanies this winter season but only have one that I like wearing. It's a problem because I can only wear it like twice a week without looking homeless.

4. I went to a concert with Ruthie and co. Although it was zero degrees I had so much fun and I have new friends!!

5. Jake and I have been dating for a year and a half. For my Christmas present he actually stalked my Pinterest account and ordered a necklace that I had pinned. He's so cute.

I'm ridiculously happy with my life right now.

Bring it 2013.

Outweighed

I am going to be back in Utah Valley in 1.5 weeks!!

Lets make a list of things I'm going to miss about Logan.

• Maddy
• Jorge
• Kim
• Alissa
• Pizza Plus. A little.

Now lets make a list of things I will not miss about Logan.

• The devil roommate.
• My little bunk bed that I sometimes hit my head on.
• My family, friends, and boyfriend (because I'll be with them so they won't be missed!)
• The tiny, yucky, cluttered shower and bathroom.
• The toilet that is so short I'm convinced it's for elves.
• Parking outside.
• Not having a dishwasher.
• The sleepless nights.
• Having to pay to do the laundry.
• Only eating cereal because I'm lazy.
• Watching shows by myself.
• My stupid major.
• The slooooowest internet.
• Basically everything.

It's not like I'm going to live at home forever.

But I'm extremely excited to be with my family again for a while.

See ya, Logan.

Ps. I love gifs of cute animals.

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!

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.

Complaining

My brother is getting married this week!

And do you know what?

I get to be in Pleasant Grove for almost 5 whole days.

I'm super happy because it's starting to suck up here.

Reasons:

1. I'm thinking that my roommate steals my clothes when I'm gone.

2. Also thinking that she had sex on my bed this weekend.

3. Alsoo thinking that she steals my favorite pomegranate chocolates from Costco.

4. Someone used the rest of my coconut coffee creamer that I use for pina coladas.

These people don't even drink coffee.

5. It's getting cold. And it's getting cold in PG too but at least I have a fire place there.

6. I don't have a fire place.

7. I miss my family and my boyfriend and Shalla.

The End.

Sail

This video has my roommates and I rollin'

Good Morning?

What would you say if you had gotten a text from me at 4:30 am that said

"So kinda chop cheese off just to fit into the oil. All just oil :)"

Well I didn't just make that up.

(I don't think anyone could make that nonsense up)

I actually sent those exact words to the boyfriend.

I would give myself funny looks but Jake said he still loved me.

And just so you guys can get a peek at what my dreams are like,

here is a poorly photoshopped picture for you.

I am quite impressed with my half asleep spelling abilities though.

Sleep talkling?

Psh. 

Sleep texting.

Heeee Hawwww

I watched all these Disney shorts as a kid.

In fact, I just watched them again and smiled all the way through.

Donald makes everything sound like a donkey and makes me laugh.

If I had to pick I'd probably go with Kingdom of Jazz.

They's the bee's knee's.

I always wanted a cork gun because of this.

It is on a VHS of course.

Is it dumb that I still love watching my video tapes?

Jake thinks I need to upgrade.

But I still browse the VHS section at DI and get excited when I find one of my childhood favorites.

Anyone else stuck in the past?

VHS? CD's? Scrunchies? That's So Raven? Game Boys? Overalls?

Please don't say overalls.

Got some beef

I'm just going to complain.

I went home to PG this weekend.
       Came back to find all but a gulp of my almond milk gone.
Before I left I told my roommate she could use my milk if she needed (I bought almond and cow milk last time I went to the store).
       I just watched her put her mouth on my carton and drink.

NOT WHAT I MEANT!

I went to buy a parking pass and they were "out" of the ones for my building so I now get to park across the highway for the whole year. 

      It's mostly inconvenient.

I swept and vacuumed the whole apartment on Friday.

      Wait, did I do those things? 

Doesn't seem like it...

I forgot all my cutest bras at home.

      This is sad because fancy bras can make or break a day sometimes.

There are days that I want to live by myself.

But mostly with my tidy, loving, awesome family.

I miss those guys.

      

33rd day

I've been in Logan for a month now.

I miss my family and boyfriend but i like it here.

I am becoming better friends with my roommates every day.

They're all pretty weird.

But weird is good.

Also, I just watched a movie called Romantics Anonymous.
I loved it.
If you have Netflix and liked Amelie I totally recommend it.
It was sweet and funny and in French so that is cool.

If you have the time to watch it tell me what you think!

Aaaaahhhhh

I kinda miss this place.

But I never know what to post.

So here is a video of a screaming sheep.

I've watched it at least 30 times.

I even made a ring tone out of it.

I love this sheep sooooo much.

Plop

I have been in Logan for three days and two nights now.

Going on three days and three nights!

Aweee yeah.

Here are some college things I have figured out since Sunday:

1. Brand new towels are liable to leave blue fuzzies on my dried off body.

2. Noodles expand and when the box says 1/2 a cup it might be serious.

3. I am quickly finding out which shoes I like to walk in.

4. Having a telly with TLC might kill me because I love almost every show on that station.

5. I will drink water if I can reach it.

6. I have to pee.

7. My bottom bunk is actually quite cozy. Every time I lay down there I feel like a cuddle.

8. I feel like Buddy the elf when I take showers in my apartment that was built in 1892 or something.

I'm a college person!

Watery Eyes

College is less than a month away.

Why am I all of a sudden so, so nervous?

I've never been so far away from my family.

I've never known hardly anyone.

At the same time, I've never been so excited.

Let's just say when August 18th comes,

I'm probably gonna cry.
