Dear Finals Week

This is indeed a bittersweet time for the both of us seeing how this is the last week that I will be here at Snow College and will be doing school for a little while. Thank you for making this week very relaxed and stress free! :) Here is what I have going on this week.

Monday: Haircut. Human Biology Lab Final. Packing.

Tuesday: Free Finals Breakfast. Pick up finals from Child Lit, First Aid, and Early Childhood Development. Packing.

Wednesday: Human Biology Lecture Final. Packing. Midnight Breakfast.

Thursday: Packing. Cleaning.

Friday: Packing up the car. Cleaning. Saying goodbyes.

Saturday: Graduation. Leaving Ephraim to Lake Point. Unpacking :)

It really feels like this week is more of a Spring Break or something. Not much going on with my life this week.

2 years at Snow College

I've spent my last 2 years here in Ephraim, Utah studying all these different subjects to be able to graduate with my Associate of Science. I have about a week til Graduation. Time is flying by. Here are some of my favorite memories from the past 2 years here at Snow.Finals week last year, Sheri, Alaina, Justin and I sat in front of a black light for hours drawing on our faces. It was so much fun and I remember being fascinated that highlighters were bright under black light.Melanie, Dani and I went down to Richfield for one weekend to watch a the play "Footloose" and to just see Richfield and Glenwood. It was a fun weekend. :)

Sheri, Alaina and I become White Ninja Cats for a day. I remember Sheri scaring me when I came out of the bathroom! Good times! Lots of fun!Janessa, Lacey, Sam and I last year made Phil, the bunny cake. :) It was around Easter time last year and so we made the cake for our own little Easter party. It was a really fun night that night. These girls are my best friends and I love them to death!

October this year. There was a beautiful thunderstorm going on outside and I was having a gloomy day. I decided that I wanted to dance in the rain, my roomies joined me. We all got soaked but it was well worth it!

One night Bianca, Victoria, Kaitlyn and I decided we'd watch the stars. We went to the practice field and watched the stars while taking fun pictures and listening to music. Loved it!

This day and this whole weekend was a blast. We went to a concert in Salt Lake City featuring Allred, He Is We, and The Rocket Summer. The next day Kaitlyn had 3 photoshoots and we just tagged along. It was a fun weekend where we relaxed and enjoyed ourselves.

Cinderella

Lately I've been feeling a lot like Cinderella. I have 3 weeks of school left before I'm done here at Snow. I've been busy with work, work, work.

I've also been feeling more of the emotional side of Cinderella as well. In the book Cinderella, she's pretty much alone and does all the housework while everyone else is on top of the world. But I do have the attitude that Cinderella has.

I know that I'm not fully alone here at Snow. I have my Heavenly Father to turn to. I also have Brittney, Janessa, and my Mother to turn to when I'm feeling low about my life.

I'm not going to lie. This semester has been the hardest semester I've had in all my college life. I feel like I can't talk to anyone anymore and if I do, people would just take it the wrong way.

Phillipians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

Books, Books, Books!

For my Children's Literature class I have to read 125 books. These books go on different genres like picture books, informational books, poetry, chapter books...etc. So far I've read about 68 books. I have 13 books in my room that I am going to read so when I finish those it'll be 81 books so all I need to do is read a bunch of children's books at the library. This is all due in about a week and a half. Yikes. I can do it! 23 more days til I'm done here at Snow College! WOW!

Colors Everywhere!

Like a lot of other people did this weekend, I went to the Hindu Color Festival. It's an Indian celebration of how they welcome spring. They welcome it by chanting a song and throwing colored chalk everywhere. I went last year with my friends and I knew that I wanted to go again. This year was a lot of fun! Of course, when hundreds and maybe even thousands of people throw colored chalk at people and in the air, it covers you completely! It is kind of funny seeing when you shower afterwards and the water is purple for a few minutes just getting all the chalk off your skin. Good times! I'm going next year!

Poems

For my children's literature class I had to come up with 5 poems of my own. I'm not that great when it comes to doing this sort of thing but I'm proud of what I've done. Here are the poems I wrote. I hope you enjoy them! P.S. My professor was so impressed with my first poem that she used it for sharing with the rest of the class. :) cool huh?

Fear

A clown at a carnival

A bee on a flower

A cop driving by

Loneliness

A snake at your feet

The end of the world

On top of a tall building

Monsters in your closet

Falling

Fear

My Bed

I shimmy into my nice, warm sheets

As my head and my pillow gladly meet.

I look out the window and see a moonbeam,

Wondering what I am going to dream.

I close my heavy eyelids and suddenly yawn,

Knowing all of the days worries are gone.

For tomorrow, my fiancé and I will wed,

But for now, I’m madly in love with my bed.

My Dad

Father

Protector, Counselor

working, loving, joking

Together forever as family

Mike

Scooch (my cat)

Kitten

Allred

Yup I met John Allred back in November. Awesome guy! :)

If any of you that are reading this post have NEVER heard about John Allred, Well now you are going to listen to him. He is an amazing LDS musician who plays really good acoustic music. He just barely played a new song that I am in love with! Click HERE to listen to it! Enjoy!
