So there is a plus side to not having a full-time job....

.... you can play a lot more. :)

I don't really have any pictures from my adventures as of late, but it's been fun. I'll work on taking more pictures.

First, I finally got around to seeing Avatar this week. I had seen the trailer a long time ago, and I was excited about it.... fantasy and sci-fi movies tend to be my favorites... but I couldn't get anyone to come with me. Heather finally came with me this week, and I LOVED it. Admitting this may make me even more of a nerd, but that's okay. :) The 3-D was great, as well.

And then there's always dancing on Wednesday nights. I'm part of the country swing club at USU, and I must admit that it is some of the most fun I've had in Logan. I didn't think it would be at first, but I was proved wrong.

It also finally snowed this week!! yay! Over two new feet of snow in the mountains so I finally got to go snowboarding! It was so much fun to play in the powder with my friends. I'm a little bruised, but it was so worth it. I remember now how much I missed snowboarding.

On a side note, I had an interview this week. It's a historian position in town, so if I got the job I would be writing about the company's projects, updating the website, and things like that. It's actually the third one I've had with this company so wish me luck!

Now, I realize that blog posts need pictures, so here are some from my trip home a few weeks ago. :)

When Life Throws You Changes

Okay, so here's the deal... I've had this blog set up for literally years. I was just trying to avoid using it as long as possible, but then I graduated and got bored. So, I thought that using a blog would help me fill up some time, and it will at least help me keep up on my writing skills. :) I am actually kind of bummed that I'm not going to classes today on campus with everyone else.

Well, I graduated in December, with my lovely degree in English. I'm still not sure exactly what I will be doing now, but it will come to me. I have a very part time job as a Publications Assistant on campus, so I need to stay in Logan long enough to fulfill my commitment there. I'm currently looking for another job. One, so that I am not so bored all day long. Two, so that I can pay for all of the other changes in my life.

While my parents were in town for my graduation, my dad and I spent two full days car hunting. Man! I tell you, I never want to do that again. It's so much work, and sales people are so annoying! I did win overall, though. I bought myself a 2002 Ford Focus. The best part? It's an awesome green! I just have to re familiarize myself with driving a manual, but it's going well.

And, just this week, I moved out of my grandparents house, by the command of my father. I must admit that I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I value my independence, so this is a good thing, and my roommate is one of my good friends. She's great and the apartment is in the Blackhawk condominiums in Logan and it's really nice. On the other hand, I have a very hard time dealing with change. And, I think it's kinda silly to move across town, away from family, to start paying rent when it's not necessary. Oh well. It will be a good growing experience for me and I guess that's what matters. :)
