Good Bye November...

The last time I posted, I was complaining that October had gone by too quickly. It's been a couple crazy weeks of worrying and stressing myself out and not getting on the internet via an actual computer. November is nearly over and I have approximately 10 days left of living in the State of Utah. I'm still a little stressed out about the money stuff and the packing thing, but I think I'll be okay if I just get the packing done and not think about the money stuff.

Anyway, my last day at work was a little bittersweet. I wasn't expecting to miss my Harrisville peeps so much, but it's starting to weigh on me a little bit. There are a few select people that I will miss but on the whole, I got the email addresses and looked up the people I wanted to keep in contact with on Facebook. It's a little weird that I didn't have to wake up today and go to work. My internal clock went off early but when I realized that I didn't have to get dressed or brush my hair if I didn't want to, I went straight back to bed.

As for Thanksgiving, my younger brother and his wife and my sister came up from Salt Lake for dinner. We had sushi, tempura and a few traditional things as well. We were all definitely stuffed by the end of the night. My oldest brother and his family stopped by before heading home to Rexburg. All in all, it was a good night.

Well, I don't know if I'll be able to post again while I'm still in Utah. Hopefully once I get up to Oregon, I'll know more of what I'm doing with myself.

It's Okay to Be Sad

I'm sitting in my room nursing a 7-up because I ate too much cheese with my dinner. Being lactose sensitive, edging on completely intolerant, totally sucks. Sometimes dairy doesn't bother my stomach too much, but I guess eating cheese on a completely empty stomach wasn't the greatest idea but damn, that artichoke and spinach cheese dip was delicious. Was it worth it in the end? Meh..I could go either way at the moment. I just had a memory pop up of my first swig of raw cow milk. It was delicious and totally didn't make my stomach hurt. Anyhow, at lot has been swirling around my brain as of late. Here is a bullet list of the swirling mess: When I left UVU a little over 10 years ago, my GPA was a 1.95. When I came back in the fall I had to fill out a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) report thing to 1.) get my financial aid released, and 2.) promise to get a C or better for the remainder of my time at UVU. Well, I barely got a D in sociology 1010 class in the fa...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...

Reasons

So, you remember from the last post when I said things were "a-changin'"? Well, they are. I'm moving to Hillsboro, Oregon. ETA: November 1st, but probably November 4th so I can at least finish the pay period instead of leaving in the middle of it. Anyway, here's a quick list of things I bet you didn't know about Hillsboro: *It's near the ghost town of Idiotville, Oregon. Real place. Wiki or google it. *What Draper, Utah is to SLC is exactly what Hillsboro is unto Portland. Almost the same place. *Has AMAZING parks and waterfalls. *All voting is done by mail. Secretly, I'm a little bummed about not getting a "I voted" sticker. Okay, so I could only really think of 4 things that you might not have known about Hillsboro or the surrounding area. Oregon as a state though, is pretty dang fantastic. I'll finally be able to partake in the Goonie-for-the-day festivities in Astoria. While there are many reasons why I'm moving away, the main rea...
