Accomplished: spring term

Today is the last day of classes. I am all done with spring term. Time is a crazy thing. When I got home from my last class of "junior" year, I went for a 15 minute run and then I did an ab workout for 15 minutes. There's this really cool app called Nike Training Club that has all sorts of workouts to do that focus on all different things. They last anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes, all depending on what you want to do. While doing my abs I started watching more Euro Cup! (This is what I've been doing every day before the past few days.) Ukraine and Sweden are plying right now. (Carson served his mission in Ukraine so I really hope Sweden wins so I can trash talk him.) I love Sweden. They were the first national team I ever saw play so I will always love the Swedes. Also, they are all very good-looking; well, except maybe Ibrahimovic. If matches were decided on how good-looking the players are, I'm pretty sure Sweden would win unanimously.

But since spring term is over now, not counting exams (I only have one so it hardly counts anyway), I am officially in summer. So I present:

Spring term in Utah (photos I haven't posted yet)

Finding "wetlands" in Provo

Watching Grant be a sea lion

Pondering life in Santa Cruz (This is my favorite
photo from the entire CA trip)

Riding the train to SF between these hooligans

Matching with Stacy

Being Trent's favorite, meaning I always got the front seat

Celebrating Maddie's wedding

Mik's bridal shower type party dealio

This week will bring more awesomeness since I'll probably see Matthew McKay soon(!) and Mikaela's wedding reception is Saturday(!) and the California road trip crew (Grant, Phillip, Emily and Trent) are leaving for Canada to run the Tough Mudder so I'm probably going to hang out w/ those boys one last time before we go our separate ways for the summer. At the very least Trent and I will be getting lunch like old times, and by old times I mean like we did three weeks ago and for most of spring term.

So eight days from now I will be headed home. That'll be lovely.

Finals week

So here's a question: How do you go about writing about things that are really personal even though you don't like writing such personal things on your blog, even though this time you really want to make an exception?

Oh, so you still don't write about them? That's what I thought. I don't think I could ever bring myself to write about legitimately personal situations. Instead, I will continue to hint at various events that happen without ever actually explaining them. So in this case, just know that stuff happened and it's sad and happy in that weird way that only truly bittersweet things can be. Also, go back and read my post on best friends from the beginning of the semester. If I hadn't already written that post already, I'd write it exactly the same right here. (Take that hint to meant that I really need some time with my best friend who happens to be thousands of miles away and who I won't see until June.)

Down to business: it's finals week. I've taken one final so far and it was easy as pie. I'm taking another today that I should dominate. That leaves me with three more to take between today and Thursday. Finals actually run until Friday but on account of how I was supposed to fly home Thursday but due to an incredibly stupid mistake on my part I'm now leaving on Sunday, I'm still getting them done by Thursday. I might not be home but it will still be Christmas break for me. What's even more sucky is that I don't think I have ever wanted to leave Utah more badly than I do right now. I was already super excited to get home, but after the event that I will continue to hint at without explaining, I'm even more disappointed that I have three extra days in Utah. Well, maybe disappointed isn't the right word. Sad isn't even that good of a word to describe how I feel either. It's almost like I feel out of place, like Utah can't offer me anything to help, and it happened so suddenly that my first response is to get out of here as soon as possible and start enjoying the delicious Wisconsin air. I had almost gotten to the point where I was legitimately almost okay with having extra days at school. Almost. But not anymore.

But alas.

I best be preparing to head up to camps now. I've got myself a final to dominate.
