SUMMER.

Summer time is almost here and I can't even believe it! It has been an eventful last month. Here's something I have discovered:

Real life is freakin' expensive!!

Okay, so story time. Thursday night my friend and I were helping move our friends boxes of stuff to her apartment so we could use my parents truck the next day to take them to the storage place. So basically we were transferring a million boxes from a dorm to an apartment in a little two door Acura. All these boxes were really heavy, we were lugging them out of the back seats, out of the trunk, up the stairs, all through the parking lot and LITERALLY three different groups of able bodied MALES walked by and...

oh yeah, they just kept walking. Thanks for the help guys. Between our grunting and heaving and generally looks of exhaustion they must have thought we had a handle on everything. And my lack of hope has yet again been restored! So my friend and I moved all the boxes again the next day and drove ourselves to the storage place all by ourselves! We felt like real live grown ups!

Alright, here's some pics of the week.

here's some foot drawings and of course a little sketch of ashton!

the aftermath of an all night study session!

Okay, I hope everyone finds this as funny as I did. But if not, you will at least find it as ridiculous and odd as I did!!!

This banana? spaceship? was driving down Campbell today!!!!!! RANDOM!

Okay and here's some more random pictures I thought were funny lol.

Story of My Life.

Today, so dramatic, if I had been in middle school still I would probably be in tears. Now I am just laughing, but here let me set the scene for you.

11:10am: Me, my starbucks, and my under-eye circles are peacefully sitting in astronomy class. My blonde friend swoops down to sit next to me, also sporting some sleepy eyes. So, both of us are struggling with this horrendous class due to our teachers complete lack of the ability to teach anything! We are working in our "textbook" which is actually a workbook that we are just magically supposed to know how to fill out. So we did what we knew and I closed the workbook waiting for our "teacher" to start "teaching" again. Please picture my teacher. He's like 40 years old. He wears basketball shorts and a t-shirt covered in paint to class. He says the F-word and many other colorful phrases more than any HBO character. He calls us all stupid/incompetent/retarded anywhere from 12-18 times per class. Today, this ever so pleasant man walked over to me and my friend. Please keep in mind this class has over 600 people in it and also that this man has a microphone with him.

Okay, so the scene has been set. Now here is what should have happened in a functional classroom:

Teacher: "Did you girls finish the activity?"
Sara: "We finished the ones we understood, now we are just waiting for you to go over the rest of them."
Teacher: "Okay, great. Which ones didn't you understand and let me help you with them for I am the glorious and ever knowledgeable teacher you are spewing money at to actually teach you things! So let me do just that and teach you this meaningless garbage so you may pass my completely uninteresting general education credit that will have no affect on your future whatsoever!" Insert teeth bearing grin and general enthusiasm from all involved parties. 


What actually happened in my unbearable class;

Teacher: "Why the hell are you two just sitting here?"
Sara: "We did the ones we knew-" does not let me finish my sentence
Teacher: "What? What? The ones you knew? That doesn't even make sense. That is not even proper english. The ones you knew..." Insert disapproving huff over the microphone to be enjoyed by all of centennial hall. 
Sara: "How are we supposed to do this workbook if we don't understand them? We were waiting for you to go over them." Insert disgruntled Sass here.
Teacher: Turns to look out at all the students. "Jeez, you guys are all going to fail this final. I can't believe that." proceeds to mock me in higher pitched voice. "Did the ones we knew... Whatever."
Walks to the front of centennial hall and never goes over the workbook. Needless to say I wanted my foot to EXERT a FORCE where the SUN don't shine until this balding, divorcee saw STARS. And that my friends, is the extent of my astronomy knowledge.

So in front of 600 other students I was mocked by a "professor". They were all on my side, by the way. This man is baffoon. He claims we all started out as "hairless apes", but he's the only one who's still bald with no manners. CAN'T WAIT TO BE DONE WITH THAT CLASS!

25!

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL :]

Okay, I'm gonna be serious for a little bit. It's not secret I have had a bit of a rough year. Especially last semester. I'm just going to say there was this kinda of an "Aha moment" where everything just clicked for me! And I am a happy camper and feeling confident in myself. I realized who I do not fit in with, who I don't even want to fit in with, what makes me happy, what doesn't make me happy and most importantly I don't need some dumb boy to make me happy. Besides, I already have an excellent father and he does a mighty fine job of taking care of me! So in the spirit of Easter I decided to write a list of 25 whoppin' things I am thankful for! Even though I clearly have THOUSANDS of things to be thankful for!

1. Mom and Dad. What can I say? You guys rock, you're normal and just plain awesome and take the absolute best care of me!
2. My big bro! Always lookin' out for his sis even a billion miles away.
3. My big sis-in-law! Also always looking out for me and doing a wonderful job raising boys that I have no doubt will be amazing gentlemen!
4. Living in America! (Err, Northern Sonora :p) where I have the opportunity to go to school, work, wear jeans, and do as I please!
5. Good friends who have been there through thick and thin!
6. Cute little G dog and her fur-face!
7. Even though I complain about these living conditions, I am totally lucky to have a warm place to sleep and be!
8. Going through some pretty awful junk, surviving, and coming out strong as ever! (Not that I want to ever do that again!)
9. This lovely cup of coffee next to me I am currently stirring with a plastic fork!
10. My man beater in my desk that will ward off any homeless men/creepers/lurkers!
11. My two and half nephews that are by far the cutest children I have ever seen in my entire life!
12. White baby seal and his spotless record (knock on wood) of keeping me very very safe!
13. People who read this and (hopefully) get my weirdo sense of humor!
14. The sloo of country music I just bought with my Itunes card in my easter basket!
15. The fact that I still get an Easter basket!
16. Getting into the graphic design program and feeling like my hard work and all nighters were all worth it!
17. Seeing the result of all this school in the future!
18. Knowing what I would like to do with my life, but feeling confident that whatever happens its gonna be just fine!
19. Being in good health!
20. Aiden and Ashton's little phrases that pop into my head and bring a random smile to my face, "look a dis!"
21. Arizona's gorgeous weather!
22. Summer coming up!
23. Reese's eggs! (You know they are the best form of Reese's available on the market.)
24. Being able to sleep once again! (Thank God for deep breathing and the gym!)
25. The thing I most appreciate without a doubt is my family! They are literally the most amazing people I know (and I know quite a few people!) La mia famiglia è molta bella as they would say in Italian! So thank you all for being indescribably amazing! Love you all! Miss you all!!

Mom- Get ready for a good drive Saturday, I got a ton of new country you are going to love!
Dad- Here is my most recent project since you were wondering what I have been up to! It's a little bit hard to see the details on the picture but I will be bringing them all home in TWO WEEKS AND THREE DAYS!!!!!! :]

It's basically my hands drawn with charcoal and they are supposed to look like they are pressed up against glass. It's supposed to be a symbol of being "stuck in a box" or being shy when you're around a lot of people. You know these art people and their obsession with concept! lol I am gonna have to redo the background though because someone decided it looked like a lava lamp and my teacher was not pleased with that brilliant analysis. Thanks guy with more piercings that me! lol

Oh and how cute is our dog?!

Okay, now there is one thing I am, however, NOT thankful for! I have to give a SPEECH on a Michael Moore film! That is just so many of my least favorite things rolled into one! lol. YUCK!!!
