one of my recent favorites, from Steph:

"I have the kind of blood I can give to the whole world, but I just keep going to Mexico all the time."

It may just be the sickness talking, but when I watched Kristen Wiig's farewell on SNL today I got a little bit teary-eyed. They were all fighting back tears too and it showed the intimate part of that relationship you don't see on TV. But anyways.

While  I was editing photos, I accidentally hit the wrong button, and, instead of giving my client (yes, it's weird to call someone a client) perfect skin I multiplied their zits.  Kaylee Evenson: making you look bad since 1991.  What can I say?  This is a measure of the exhaustion I am feeling.

I've been drinking lots of lime water and eating vegetables and running, and all of the while pretending that the hours aren't counting counting down.

Two things, that if I think them to myself real quick, can make me laugh.

1.  The story of yesterday at work, how between running to the bathroom to throw up, Jakob showed me a check that someone had tried to cash.  The check was just made out to "Photographer".  No name, no other details, as if we'd look at it and know exactly the person it was meant for.  Imagine going to the bank with a check made out to "Barista", or "Salesman", or even "Kid that works at McDonald's".  Anyways, the guy got real upset that we didn't want to give him the cash right away.  I still imagine this scenario in my head and cannot get over it. 

2.  A cute conversation between Ten and Leo tonight:
"Leo, what sound to bears make?"
"Loud Noises!"

I have finished my Spanish career, with a few embarrassing "ummms..." and "how do you say...?"' moments during my oral exam.  This is a weird feeling.  No more four day a week treks up to campus.  No more pretending I know what everyone around me is saying.  No more trying to remember just where in the world the dumb accents go. The thing is, though, is that I think I will miss it.  A lot.

Outside of University of Utah mountain, life is in a good place.  I love doing sound, I love more days that are meant for outside, and I love the people I get to spend my days with.

What a sappy blog post.  I feel like there is just too much to say about everything, but I'd rather keep it short.

my life is full of good things.

a photo from the cute tea shop i keep going to.

it's fun but only snobs work there so that's a bummer.

it's been a refreshing week.  i've been spending a lot of time with old friends.  you don't realize how bad you miss someone until it's midnight and you're making guacamole together.  God's timing is so perfect and humorous even.  

so about work.  my boss approved me for a month leave.  i don't have to feel ashamed talking to my coworkers about michigan now, because i signed away my paychecks to some vp today.  in other work news, though, i passed a test, which basically means i will have to be on main cash someday soon (which i have nightmares about) and can count out $10,000 in cash without blinking.  scary stuff.

about school: i will miss my classmates after my last semester of spanish, i think. the girl next to me always talks to me about what i am going to do with my life, and also tells me that i look like the kind of person that would watch indie films.  she chomps her gum, but i am starting to get past it because she is just so nice.  one more semester and i will be holding a degree in my hands.  if i will be using it is to be determined i guess.

life news.  i'm hanging in there.  and some days i still cry for what i say is no reason.  and some days i am blissfully happy.  God absolutely is faithful in my trials, big or small, and i will praise him throughout.
