So I
have moved home from school, had knee surgery, watched a whole lot of Arrested
Development and NHL Playoffs...and have neglected to blog. I sit down to start
to write something that will make an impact, or cause someone to laugh and I
just sit and stare at an empty page. So I am sorry if I bore you to death with
this post. It will probably be really random and have nothing to do with
anything important, but hey it's a post!
SO IT'S
SUMMER. And I have officially completed a semester of college before I am even
supposed to be graduated from high school. If you were to ask me right now if
that made me feel super cool I would reply with a yes, yes it does. :) College
was so...amazing. Like seriously. To all you seniors about to graduate, make
the most of the summer and the memories with your friends but oh my stars, when
you move to wherever you're going to school...you will make the fondest of memories,
the most incredible of friends, and you will learn so much more than you ever
thought was possible. not only at school, but about life. Take it from me; I am
basically a pro at college now, obviously :) Back to the point: I absolutely
LOVE summertime but I am seriously missing Cedar City. It's so strange how it
went from being a place that was so foreign and kind of scary to me to almost
becoming home. I miss how cute my little town is, I miss knowing where
everything is in Walmart because relearning that crap is not very fun. I miss
the sunsets, and the beautiful campus. I miss having my own place and feeling
like a big kid, but mostly I miss my friends. It's not going to be the same
without some of the "glue" there next semester (cause sometimes
people decide to go on missions) but the friends I have made in cedar have
become my family. My Cedar City Family. When you are living within such close
proximity with people constantly, you bond in ways that are so different than
you could imagine. It's so great, I don't think I can stress that enough. And
it's always fun to come home with a crazy roommate story or two :)
I also
would like to point out that my summertime festivities and dreams have slowly
been crushed by none other than the big mean monster I like to call Knee
Surgery! If you didn't know I had knee surgery, I totally did. And if you did
know I had knee surgery and neglected to visit me...we are probably having
problems in our relationship. Just saying. :) Having surgery is such a
bittersweet thing, I mean do not get me wrong I am so glad to have my knee
fixed so I will be happier in the long run...and so that I CAN run, but right
now all it does is suck. I am pretty sure that if I never have to even touch crutches again I
would be the happiest person alive. I remember being in junior high and seeing
the kids on crutches and being so jealous that they got to leave class early. I
couldn't tell you what was truly wrong with me, but that thinking was something
crazy. I can tell you that much. And even though I complain my fair share about
being on crutches, or how fat my knee is, or how bad it hurts, or whatever else
i complain about...at the end of the day I know it could be so much worse. I
can still walk (well, sort of) and I will be able to walk so well once I am
recovered. It's only one surgery, it could be multiple. I have legs for
goodness sakes, thats a blessing in itself! There really is so much more
positive things to focus on than my one little knee problem, and sometimes I
forget that. :)
I also
just need to say that I am SO obsessed with my family. I have the best siblings
in the whole world, and they have children so it makes them so much better. If
you don't have nieces and nephews, wait until the day you do, then talk to me.
You will be so in love with them it will start to consume your whole life. Just
you wait. Also, I am grateful for you, dear friend reading this. You are a
blessing in my life, and I love you for it. SO THANKS :) Sorry this post was
super duper lame. I will start to be more of an exciting human being and blog
more then :)
