Bitter-sweet symphony....

Happy B-day to ME! Yep, that's right. Today is my 22nd birthday. You know what that means? Only one more year before my life officially comes to an end.....the day I turn 23, is the day my free flying gets taken away. WHY?!?!?! Dang you Delta! So, that means I only have one year left to go on all my trips I've had planned. (Namely to Australia, that Danielle and I have had planned for 5 years. Start saving yellers!) But, I still have my birthday to celebrate today! So party on!

On a happy note, my BFF Kyla is coming on Thursday! She was supposed to come last weekend, but, due to some unexpected events, she is coming this weekend. (Something about a famous brother coming home.....more important than me? I beg to differ. ) But, it actually ended up working out better, because, she gets to stay longer than she had originally planned, she will be here for the midnight release party of the 4th twilight book, and for my mom's work patient party, and I wasn't in the greatest of moods this past weekend. So, its probably better she's coming this weekend. I really cannot wait! Mostly to talk in the "bubble voice" all weekend. But really, I just can't wait for her to come! I wish you could all have the chance to meet Kyla someday. She really is the coolest ever. I mean it.

On a possibly happier note, my BFF Danielle who just got home from her mission last week, started reading Twilight! Yes, another has been sucked in! She read the first book in one day, then called me last night, frantic, because she needed the second one. I told her she could get it when she came for my birthday festivities tonight, and she responded with "I have to wait that long!?!?" So, she came over and got it last night at 10pm. I'm so happy I could bring another into the flock.

On a really-fantastic-news note, grades were posted and.......I passed Chemistry! It was really touch and go there for a while, but I passed with a C+. Now, I know some of you genius' out there are thinking, "A C+?! That sucks!" But, I am very proud of that C+. That Chemistry class was the hardest class I have ever taken in my life, and I was actually surprised that I did that well in it. There were numerous times where I really just had no idea what was going on. It did drop my GPA a little, but I had A's in all my other classes, so not too bad. Math is totally my downfall.

Well, off to celebrate my birthday. Sorry my posts are so lame and boring. What can I say, I have a pretty boring life. But, after this weekend, I will have some very exciting things to post about! Kyla, Twilight, etc.........I can't wait!

"The whole enchilada...."

I'm so excited to see her tonight....

And her on Friday!

It's going to be a great couple of weeks. This week I get to see 2 of my BFF's and next week is my birthday!

It's a miracle!

I've got a million and one things to do before the semester ends tomorrow, but, I just wanted to share some very exciting news with you all. I just took my Occupational Safety final....and I got the highest grade in the class! Seriously! I really did! I only missed 3. This has never ever happened to me before. I've never gotten the highest grade on any test in my life, let alone a final! I was so nervous for this test, felt totally unprepared going in, and was just hoping for at least a C on it. What a suprise I got! A VERY welcome surprise. I was a little insulted when my Professor said, "Wow. How did you do that? No one has ever gotten that high of a score before...that's crazy. Good job!"

ummm... did you just insult my intelligence?!?!

It's official...

I have to give a shout out to my brother Renton. After a 7 hour test, he is officially a flight instructor! If you know Renton, you know this is the only thing he has ever wanted to do with his life...and he is the reason I know so much about airplanes.

And now I present, a tribute to Renton and his airplanes:

Here he is in his uniform...he looks pretty legit huh?

Taking pictures mid-flight. Is that really safe Renton?

First Officer of his 737....he wishes! He looks so excited, like a kid in a candy store....

He can officially fly one of these now.....SCARY! I don't know how "friendly" the skies are going to be from now on.

He really is a great pilot. Three cheers for the sickest pilot around!

P.S. I'm proud to announce that another has fallen victim to my Twilight trap. My cousin Tammy called me yesterday to confess her love for them now as well. I love it! Another one bites the dust.....

Musica

I just updated my playlist with some wonderfully teenage tunes! Enjoy!

What????

Today, while I was sitting on the airplane waiting to take off in Salt Lake, the guy next to me leans over and says: "I sure hope they fed the squirrels!" ummm....what? I just smiled politely and turned away while he laughed to himself. I was so confused, and still am. Maybe he was crazy? I think so. What do you think?

Later on....watch for my 4th of July review post. Filled with Glenn Beck, The Blue Man Group, and thousands of little girls screaming for Miley Cyrus (aka. Hannah Montana). What fun!

On another happy note....only 2 weeks left in the semester! How excited am I?! But, I am going to be very very busy these next two weeks. Why am I such a procrastinator?
