Derrrrrby

Yes. I made this. The super-duper final/second cut will appear on www.cityweekly.net

WOOP!!

Give me another year and I will try to follow in my mothers...skates...

100th post

I may be celebrating prematurely but...
Guess who announced their tour dates today for the European leg of their tour.
Guess who's playing in Croke Park in July 24th?
Guess who is going to Ireland this summer?
THIS GUY!

My weekend was...eventful.

It started out with me being miserable because I hated Zack's new roommate. Oh, allow me to back track. Since his mom got remarried, she's been living at her new husbands house. Long story short, Zack and Erin and his friend moved in until she can sell it.

I hated Zack's friend. Absolutely. Bleh. He's a recovering drug addict and I found him annoying as crap until I got to know him and it turns out he's pretty cool. I'm still giving him a shot.

However, Erin is not moving in anymore because of...technicalities...

SO

On Friday I saw Watchmen, on Saturday I saw Paul Blart (I am ashamed), and on Sunday I saw Push. I only liked Watchmen. Oh well.

Um...I think that's it for now. I would just like to say I love Zack so much and I am so glad he is here for me when I need him. He is always so great to talk to and he always makes me feel better, no matter what my problem is.

BTW, Sydney, did you hear Dakota Fanning is going to be Jane in the New Moon movie?

Accomplishment

Sometimes I look at my parents and wonder if people expect me to be as accomplished and awesome as they are. I am very proud of my parents and I'm glad they are mine, but I wonder if I can be that awesome too.

I think I'm setting up an interview to become an intern with the Utah Legislature. I don't think I'll get it, but there's no problem with trying. That's how I got into Westminster, I tried when I didn't think I would get in.

I guess what I'm saying is I'm going to try to be as accomplished as my parents, and then some.

I better get to studying...

New Room!

Squee! I am so pleased!

Across the Pond

Bleh, what a weekend.

On Friday, I spent a lot of time not working. Instead, I took time to look at study abroad options. I've wanted to study abroad since I was a senior in high school and I figured it would be nice just to look. It looks like the U has options that go to England and/or Germany, and those ones I'm super interested in. Then I ventured outside the University of Utah website and found some sites and found a program that goes to....Trinity College in Dublin (!!!). When I went to Ireland a few years ago, I came up with a dream to go to Trinity College in Dublin and I think it would be so great to go!

I was so afraid to talk to Zack about it though. But, he supports me 100%, no matter how bad it may suck to be apart for a whole semester (or summer). I probably won't be accepted into any programs right now though, seeing as my grades are not where they should be. I'm working really hard this semester though, and I think I'm doing pretty well.

Speaking of which, Zack stole me a street sign for V-Day. I was hoping for roses, but the street sign was an inside joke from when we started dating and it was actually very sweet that he actually remembered. I was sad, however, we didn't get to really do anything. We can't afford flowers and dinner or whatever. I am just glad I got to spend it with him.

Today we spent time working on my room. Tomorrow we get to paint! Squee!
