wow its been a while....

okay, so it has been forever since i have last posted a blog. gosh, so much has been going on, i have had no time!

well, about 3 months ago i got an internship at Intel as a software application developer. its cool, because my supervisor is my Bishop from Glencoe ward when i was in it. its been really fun. i have learned a lot, and i get free soda as well! :) its really nice because i get to chose my hours that i work. during the summer i am going to try to work full time if i can.

man, i cant believe i am 18 now....its kinda weird. although i had a wonderful birthday. i spent almost 4 hours getting my hair done and getting my nails done. it took forever, but it was worth it! believe it or not, I'm a red-head again. i kinda wish it was a little lighter of a red, but i still like it the way it is.My dad got me a 4GB flash drive, and some new clothes, and a new watch. i also got an amazing camera for my birthday!! my parents always know what to get me. i love them so much. this new camera is helping me a lot with my senior project, which is on photography. i have to put together an album of all my best photography artwork. its been really fun doing something that i absolutely love for my senior project.

I'm almost 2 months away from graduating from high school!! i cant believe it is so close! this the time where i am really stressing about school though. there are so many projects and speeches i have to finish before the end of the year. and everyone says that senior year is the easiest year of all. well, i don't agree. it is one of the hardest years for me. well, it will be worth it when I'm all done with high school forever. :)

another decision i have made just recently is to disable my texting on my phone. shocking right? the reason is that i just could not afford it anymore. i mean, i know i have a job, but i realized i need to be saving that money for college, and for more important things. my car broke down last week, and my laptop isn't working anymore, so i need to save up to fix those. college is just right around the corner, and i need to prepare and save up for that. i try to be responsible, and i try my best to make good decisions, i just hope im doing good enough to keep me on track.

Over the past 3 months i have gotten to know my new ward a little better. when i first moved into the ward, i was the only Laurel. now there are two more. Its so hard for me though to actually talk to the girls in Young Women's. everyone says that i will get to know everyone once I'm in the ward for a while, but it just doesn't seem to work for me. oh, and did i say i have been called to be Laurel class president?? i guess heavenly father wants me to be a leader, because in the past i have been president in Mia Maids and Beehives as well. its just weird because being a leader is the last thing i want to do. i did some research and i found that i may have a phobia for socializing. lol the only way i feel comforable with speaking to people is through writing. isnt that weird? oh well, i know god knows what he is doing....


anyway, i dont know how often i will be updating this, but i just wanted to let you know whats going on in my life.
