perfect day

This is an older post from awhile ago.

Yesterday was awesome. I slept in till noon (hey! I deserve it! I wake up early every day now..), went running, hung out with Nicki (she got me an AWESOME thermos mug that is exactly ME), went OUTDOOR CLIMBING for the FIRST time with Austin and Landon, then India Fest (which I've wanted to go to since freshmen year), YoZone deliciousness afterwards, and topped the night off with Seinfeld.

Climbing was so fun! I was way super nervous beforehand... because I didn't want to die and I didn't want to look like an idiot. I didn't really know what I was getting myself into. So we went up to Provo Canyon (Rock Canyon? Are they the same thing? I don't know) and hiked up about 20 minutes, then started. The first climb I did was super hard.. it was crazy, at one point I fell off and swung around the face of the rock, which was kinda scary. But I finished it! Then we climbed up a little bit and Landon and Goff climbed this way harder one.. it was fun, we were pretty high up to start with and just hanging on this cliff. Crazy. Then I climbed a few more easy ones-- one was really fun because it had this huge crack that you just shoved your hands into to climb up. All in all it was amazing! It was beautiful outside, climbing was way fun, it really is more fun than a gym... because you're climbing an actual side of a mountain! I hope I get to go tons more!!

Then we went to IndiaFest in Spanish Fork. I've heard about it since my freshman year here, but never got to go. Finally I did! It was pretty fun, there was dancing inside the temple and things for sale and there were llamas outside (which I got super excited about) and we watched a movie/play thing then afterwards which was hilarious and silly and then they lit this huge thing on fire! It was part of the story. Just enjoy the pictures. It was intense.

All in all, a good day I would say.

new job. balloons. parking.

My new job is going great! I haven't missed a single draw yet. It's so awesome getting to draw a bunch of times instead of just the few a week. Today I kept overshooting (having to pull back the needle to get the blood going) but at least I never missed.. haha. Good times! And everyone's so nice and I got balloons as a welcoming gift and it's just awesome.

What sucks though is that parking around my apt sucks, I wasn't lucky enough to get a parking pass for the complex, so I don't know what I'm going to do... I might have to just walk to school from the health center then drive home after school when hopefully parking is a bit more freed up. We'll see?

Remember when in middle school and high school sorta, people got their friends balloons on their birthdays and it was like a popularity contest to see how many friends you had? I loved getting the balloons. They're all so pretty and always to celebrate a special occasion so you know something cool happened or whatnot. I love my balloons, even though they deflated pretty quick. Haha.

Off to class and internship and more work! Busy busy busy.
