Dreams

So I did get a job.  I think this means I have to cancel my Lake Powell trip which I'm way bummed about, but it's worth it.  I just have to keep the end goal in mind... Spain next summer.  Yes, I'm planning on doing a study abroad somewhere in europe in the spring and then taking a train to Spain and traveling with my friend, Zuriñe.  That's my dream when I'm conscious.
But lately I've been having horrific dreams when I'm unconscious.  Like last night, I had three dreams and in all of them someone who I love died.  They all start out great and pleasant and then right at the very end something tragic happens.  It's come to the point where I think my mental status needs to be checked.  The one last night where Josh died was the most realistic, so please Josh, don't die on me.  If you have some life threatening disease, now would be the time to tell me.  That goes for all of you.

Jobs

I'm not a returned missionary.  I don't have experience other than Tomasso's.  I am a freshman. Still.  I'm in class at inconvenient times. I don't have connections. Anywhere.
When you don't have any of these, you're out of luck when it comes to finding a job.  Even if you have other qualities that are pretty significant, like an amazing GPA, or a billion credits that show you're willing to work hard, or knowledge of a language, or really good references.  It doesn't matter how close I am to graduating, or how badly I need money, or how persistent I am.  All that matters is if I've been on a mission or if the boss, sorry not the boss because he's my neighbor, if the grouchy man hiring people is your friend. Job hunting is the worst.  I'm starting to think that going to Hawaii with my sister right before my other sister's wedding is the better option here.

Dear Runners

If you're going to run on or near BYU campus please put on some clothes.  I get it, it's hot outside.  So run at a different time.  If you can't, then continue to wear what you want, but run somewhere else for goodness sakes.  I'm not trying to be overly BYUish but when it's bad enough that even I notice it, you know it's bad.
The End

I haven't done one of these in a while...

I forgot about my music video obsession for a bit there.  Sorry about that.  But I do want to make a few comments on my recent love of foreign music.  Don't ask me why, but I've been listening to all kinds of languages recently and it's making me want to learn another language.  Yes I know that I've been at Spanish for almost my whole life and I still can't speak very well, but I'm getting tired.  I love spanish and I always will, but I feel like I've reached the point where a classroom setting wont make me speak better.  I do really well on paper and with listening, but speaking?  Nope.  I wont get any better until I go back to a spanish speaking country.  So in the meantime, why not learn another language?
Anyway, here's two songs that I fell in love with this week

The first one is Ricardo Arjona and Gaby Moreno.  They're both Guatemalan.  My spanish teacher showed our class this and then I looked him up on grooveshark for more songs and that just led me to more and more artists that I didn't even know existed. Thank you Guillermo (and credit also has to go partly to my speaking partner, Catalina).

Ok so my brother makes fun of me for the second one, the Il Volo song.  He called me a 70 year old cat lady.  It's fine.  Yes, my mother owns their CD and I listen to it every time I know I'm going to be in the kitchen for an extended period of time.

There's always something good amongst the bad

The past couple of days have been traumatic to say the least.  And this time it's not about school, though this religion class of mine isn't exactly a walk in the park which disappoints me.  But as my life's been focused on the bad, I've forgotten to look for the good.  So instead of naming off the bad things I want to make a list of the good things that have happened in the last three days:

1. I got to see my cousin before she leaves on her mission to Honduras

2. I talked to Josh on skype

3. I didn't sleep in at all and I got all the work I needed to get done done

4. I got two letters and a package yesterday in the mail! One from Covey, one from Sean, and the package from Josh.  Ok ok so the package wasn't exactly addressed to me, it was for my family so my dad made me open it in front of them, but it was still the highlight of my day.

5. My golf teacher told me I look like a pro and then asked me to help him demonstrate an exercise we were going to do.  Yes.  That's right.  It's beginning golf, but we can look past that right?  He also told me that I must have had an amazing coach.  Thanks Coach Kelley!

6. I randomly saw four friends on campus.

7. I finished my book

8. I finally took a nap today

9. Jessica R is back and I found out she's not going to the single's ward so I will have a friend

10. There is juice in the fridge!!!
