Where art thou motivation?

Summer school. I loathe it. 4 classes in 10 weeks might be okay if they didn't suck like mine do. With papers due every other day. Boo on the person who came up with these signature assignments. They are kind of ridiculous to do when there is not school in session, especially when you need to do interviews with school officials. I just keep telling myself that it is for a good purpose, EARLY GRADUATION! Well accelerated at least. December is only a few months away now and if I ever get my student teaching placement for the Fall I am positive it will go quickly. Hopefully this loss of motivation is just a summer thing and not a senioritis type thing. Trying to teach high schoolers when I am not wanting to be there probably not a good thing.
But really all I want is for January to be here. January 13th to be specific. I finally get to go to the one place I have been wanting to go to. That's right my sister Celeste, her roommate Sarah and I are planning a graduation trip to England in January. Yes it will be cold, I know I have said that I hate it but it is ENGLAND!!!!! Land of Jane Austen, British accents, and British actors such as Richard Armitage and JJ Feild. <3
LONDON IS CALLING!
RICHARD ARMITAGE
JJ FEILD
All of these are well worth enduring the cold. I CANNOT wait.

My birthday was yesterday. Happy 29th Birthday to me! I love my birthday. I was babysitting most of the day and then had class. Plus an Allergic reaction. Luckily the day before I was able to have a British movie marathon. (I'm in love with all things British) I loved having my friends over to visit and watching my favorites on the screen. LOVE IT!

School Daze!

I do not post very often but it basically because I have no time. When I do have time I just want to sleep, which is a time consuming task in and of itself. Second semester of grad school is upon me, heaps and heaps of it. As a collective we heard that first semester was going to be the hard one, well let me tell you something about school officials. They lie. In comparison to right now, first semester = cake. After a perfect semester last time, I am tempted to just go for a C in one class. Which I do not really want to do but I like I said I might be tempted. I guess it is only a couple more weeks until Spring break so I can do it. "Just keep swimming" right?

I was able to go up to Utah for my old roommate Jen's wedding. I am so excited for her and Curtis. She looked beautiful and it was so great to see how happy she was. Now Utah for me is cold. And I did complain though I really did not want to, but I was kind of happy I was flying home instead of driving...though if I didn't have class I would have driven. And flying saved me from probably a thousand punches, due to the fact that Ash and I made up some games that are really only applicable in Utah. I also dropped my camera and broke it the very first night we were there...boo. Hopefully it is still under warranty, one drop should not equal broken. Those things need to have some durability. The year of the wedding has begun. Two big ones down and like 7 or 8 to go. It is only February and they don't seem to be stopping anytime soon.

Spring Break = visiting one of my most favorite families. I never know how they are going to act around me. Either like I am their best friend or their boss. They were on their best behavior the last time I was there. Let's hope that novelty hasn't worn off. It also means a trip to a different singles ward. Which I love, oh not for the boys, but because people say the most random things whenever I go to those wards. I love it. I am sure I will appreciate them someday when I looking through my journals. Utah was brilliant for my own personal quote machine, let's hope Cali will be wonderful too.

I have put off my homework long enough. Time to get busy.
