College Life

Hello Starshine, the earth says hello... Ok that does not have to do anything with what I am blogging about but it was fun to write. :D

Actually I realized it has been forever since anyone in my family has updated our blog so I am going to give you something new to look at.

I have been away from home living in Thatcher to go to school for almost 7 weeks now. YAY! I really like it here. The weather is great, the people are fun, and my classes are small. I did not want to go to a school that would have huge classes so here in Thatcher most of my classes have at the max. about 30 people in them. Not too shabby. But Thatcher is not all about school... (despite what my parents say it should be..ahem dad) I do go out and have fun. I have been doing some pretty fun things. I went to frye mesa which is this place where waterfalls are going down rocks and you can slide down the rocks into the water below. That was a blast but so numbingly cold! Then I went camping out in the desert under the starry sky. The sky is so beautiful here because there are not very many lights. I loved it. I think I counted 4 or 5 shooting stars that night. There are school games we go to and institute dances. Life here is just so fun.

Thatcher would not be the same though without my wonderful room mates.

Marcie Lindblom is the girl that I share a room with. She is the one on the right of the picture and she is so cute! Jess is the one in the middle and unfortunately Iesha is not there with us. Me and Marcie do pretty much everything together. She is Amanda's age so it is like having my sister here with me it is great! She is a cosmetologist so she did a make over on me one weekend. That was a blast. Here are some pictures of that...

Marcie's boyfriend Austin came to Thatcher the other weekend with his friend Jason and we had a fun weekend together. We went camping and had smores with recess peanut butter cups instead of Hershey's chocolate bars and it was really good, went to a football game which EA won 50 zip, had snow cones, played a game called Ripple Nipple (note-I did not name this game, I don't know where they got this name from and no it has nothing to do with the title.) I kinda just looked at Marcie when I first heard the name of it and was a little concerned and she laughed at me and said it was ok and that it was a fun game and nothing was wrong with it. The game is basically the card game golf with a few modifications. It was a fun game. Anyways on Sunday, there was chalk on the ground outside so we drew chalk figures on the ground.

Marcie made Austins head really small for some reason. It was funny. Then she ended up drawing my head really big. Haha silly girl. It looks like my chalk figure has elephants disease in this picture. We all had a good laugh at our drawings. Jason did not want to lay on the ground so he missed out on the fun chalk drawing. The boys left home that night after we ate a really good diner that Marcie and Austin made, and me and Marcie hit our beds and slept like babies that night. What a great weekend.

Like I said in the beginning me and Marcie went to Frye Mesa with a bunch of our friends. It was such a bumpy and slow ride there but once we got there it was totally worth it. It felt good outside but it looked like it was about to rain. So we quickly got the the water fall slides and climbed to the top of them. When I got to the top and put my feet in the water, I was about to chicken out because the water so cold and I thought there was no chance of me getting my body wet with the water that was already making my feet numb. But i did anyways and was the 2nd girl to down. Marcie was right after me. It was so much fun sliding down the waterfall! I am so happy I did it. Once everyone had a turn going down it started to rain so we all ran to the trucks and turned the heaters on and went back home to shower and go have Fajitas over at the park. The Fajitas were so yummy! It was a great day. Now here are some pictures of Frye Mesa...

This is Marcie, Vanessa, Melissa, Hannah and Me after we went down the falls. It was so cold outside! BURRRR!

Frye Mesa was really fun. I will have to go again some day. Maybe when it is not so cold and there is not going to be rain. :D

Oh I almost forgot!! Before school even started my other 2 room mates Iesha, Jess, and I went to visit a "Haunted House" with their friend Celina. No this house is not really haunted but it has been abandoned for a very long time and it looks like it should be haunted. We found a News paper in the house that dated back to 1954. Crazy!

There now that you have seen that messy house lets show you an apartment (ahem, mine) that is a lot less dirtier. I am not saying it is the cleanest but it is a lot cleaner than that haunted house. Me and my room mates finally decided to put up some decorations in the front room last night. So here is us making progress and the final look. :D

So I hope I did not bore you too much. I just wanted to show you all a little bit of what I have been doing here in college outside of school. I really have been having a fun time. :D
