The last time I posted was super close to my birthday, but oh well. I have some very exciting news. At least for me. I have refallen in love with my games on my computer. Why? because I got a nice Controller for it! I am so excited. I get to finally play games that were almost unbearable to play with a mouse and keyboard. And other news even though summer is close to an end, which I am very sad about but there is good that comes with it. I get to see my friends John and Lennika in two weeks! Sadly I have to move out of my apartment this week and have now apartment to move to. But there are lots of places that have availability for September just not August. Luckily my roommate is going to let me be at the apartment even though I am moved out. So I really just need to get an apartment. Lots to choose but which to pick? So there are good and bad things about the summer ending but oh well life goes on and I will be happy no matter what come up
On a side note, so I decided to start reading an article or two of the ensign every night before I go to bed. It kind of my form of reading the scriptures. I really do not have a good habit of reading them, but I figure if I can at least get myself to read the ensign then I will hopefully in a month or two start reading scripture more regularly. And if not the ensign has awesome stories in it that help lift me up and give me lots of answers. And I have only been reading it for a few days.

Long time, No quests.
Basically nothing super exciting has happened, which is the reason for no blogs of adventures. Just been working and wasting time on the internet, such of the story of my life during the summer. But I have enjoyed myself and feel very relaxed and happy. The stresses of school do not bother me right now. I have hope that when I apply again to the art department that my portfolio will be much better. I am also decided that Graphic design might not be what I really want to do. I have decided that I feel like I should be painting and drawing more than I should be designing websites and creating logos. I know it sounds strange, because I have been so set on it the last three years but the last couple of weeks as I get more into doing Graphic design related stuff, I find myself getting bored. I think I would much rather be an illustrator or just a regular artist. I don't want to have to memorized fonts and what they look like or what font size they are at. I want to express colors and feelings. Create worlds of my world. I don't want to be limited by the strict rules of web and ads. I want to have my own way of doing things.
Another strange thing that has occurred is I have grow a love for cooking delicious ramen in the past two weeks. Now I look forward to cooking my dinner instead of just wishing it would finish so I could eat it and go on with my day. I found joy in making this bowl that has many healthy foods in it and is inexpensive.
Even though many of my days are very boring and sort of lonely, I have really gotten to relax and find me again without the hustle and bustle. It is great to work the morning shift and then get home and sit and relax. I keeping thinking is this what it is going to be like after I graduate. Hard work and then nights of pure relaxation. I love getting to sit back, watch movies, play video games, but most of all think about me and my life and where I am going. I have been able to calm a lot of my fears and deal more with the hardships in my life. I have been able to face my challenges and understand more of what is in store for me. Its a very pleasant summer so far, compared to last years where I couldn't find a job anywhere and stressed every day that went by. I am so grateful for my job that I have now, I just wish I got a few more hours every week. Its better than no hours at all.
So Work has been pretty dead too. So that means I get to spend the whole day doing pretty much what I want. I have found a great deal of fun drawing in photoshop while watching youtube videos and I have to stay I have found some pretty awesome people that do vlogs regularly and love it. I can't wait till I get to see their new videos. I have been watching anything from music to comedy to tutorials. I just love it. I used to avoid youtube, but for obvious reasons. I spend too much time on it and there are a lot of crappy videos. But right now I have lots of time and its not like I am being unproductive, I am working on projects while watching. Also I have narrowed it down to a few people that I watch regularly, so I don't end up twenty minutes later wondering, how did I get to watching this random video of someone washing their cat. It still happens on an occasion but not as often as it used to. So anyways that is what I really have been up to the last couple of weeks. I didn't expect that I had this much to say but I guess I did.
Oh and I am no longer a teenager!! Yay, come at me world, I really feel like an adult now, which is weird. When I first started college I felt like a bunch of things were thrown at me at once, but I got used to it and now I am fine with it. I found ways to still feel like a kid but also be a grownup. I just feel very confident with who I am and what I am doing. It feels like such a great time in my life.

A Tale of New Life
It all start on Sunday night when I should have gone to bed at ten o'clock but for whatever reason I could not get myself to go to fall asleep. So I think I fell asleep around 11. Then I wake up to what I thought was my phone's alarm. I went to press the snooze button but was very confused as I stared at my phone looking and it for a while then realizing that it was not there and that it was actually my sister calling me and then she said hello. OH BABY! I instantly was much more awake. I asked her what time was it, and she said 11:35pm, I didn't sleep very long. I talk with her for a bit and her water had broke and they needed me to come over and "watch" my nephew, who was asleep. So I got ready and ran over to her apartment as quick as I could. When I got there they were sort of in a rush but not a huge one. We talked a bit more about what we hoped were the plans for the morning and my nephew. We decided that Jason, my brother-in-law, would come back to the apartment around 6:30 am.
So I went to bed and tried to fall back asleep, well it forever for me to fall back asleep and when I finally did fall back to sleep, it felt like instantly I heard a baby crying and I thought it was my nephew. I was a bit dazed and was thinking that doesn't sound like a Noah cry. And it stopped for a bit and I thought ok they are back to sleep well just as I am about to fall back to sleep they start crying again only louder. I was like oh boy I don't want to deal with a sad tired baby. So I get up and I watch to his room and the crying gets quieter as I get closer. I put my ear to the door and I hear nothing. I open the door just a bit and silence. I was greatly confused, so I went back to bed and sure enough I could hear crying again. Ugh it must be the neighbor's child crying and it was extremely loud in that bed room. So I try to fall asleep while I hear the crying, not an easy task. Lets just say I didn't fall asleep. So sometime around 2:30 I think I hear the people next door getting their child and then it went quiet. And I fell asleep.
The next thing I know my phone is going off and Jason had called me. It was about 5:45. He was saying how he wouldn't be able to make it to the apartment and back to the hospital, so I needed to get Noah ready and take him to my grandparents house and so I proceeded to get everything ready. And then I went to grab Noah out of bed and he was completely covered by his blanket and only his feet were sticking out. So I grab him and then go set him on the couch and he was very out of it. And just sat there blinky. Then on the car ride he was just the same way and when we had almost got to my grandparents he finally started to wake up and he started laughing at me as I was driving, or he could have been laughing at something out the window. It was very funny and confusing at the same time.
So I dropped him off and headed back to my apartment to do a few last things before I went to my 9 hour shift. I knew I was going to be late but not terribly. So I just went as fast as I could and sent my supervisor an email when I did get to work and he said it was alright. Then around 9:30am I get a text with this picture with the text saying Elijah ricks 7 lbs 1 oz 19 in long. jenny & eli both doing well. The picture was actually taken at 7:47am he was born at 7:35. So then I just continued to work all day long and got off just a little early thanks to my coworker coming in early for me. Then I went and took a nap. And I slept till 6. It was a very long nap. Then I had dinner then headed out to the hospital to actually get to see the newborn.
As I got to the hospital I got to see Jason and Noah leaving, they both looked very tired. Then I proceeded onward to the room and there was my sister and the baby. The baby was asleep and my sister was eating dinner. And I got to hold the new baby. He was bundled so tiny that he looked very tiny but his arms and legs were just both folded tightly into his blanket. I picked him up and off came his hat and oh my he has dark hair!
Then my parents got there very shortly after. I was there for about two more hours. It was fun to see the little one doing so well and my sister doing good too. I can't wait to watch this little one grow up. He is stinkin cute! He kinda looks like my brother mixed with Noah

Adventures while Trading
Well the whole thing started when I left Provo for the weekend, I have started to go running and so I wear Sporty clothing, and the last few months I have been needing some new bras both normal and sport. Anyway I forgot to bring my sports bra, I bought everything else that I needed and so I decided that today I would finally brake down and go bra shopping.
So I first head off to target to get me a sports bra, and I found two that I thought that I might get and so I take them to the dressing room and the one wouldn't even let me try it on so I went to the other one, which was more expensive by a lot and I brought two different sizes because I had no idea what my size would be. So I took the small one off the hanger and as I am about to put it on and OMG it was so small that I didn't think that I could get it over my head let alone my shoulders. So then I went to get the other one and geez those bras must have had been made to be small. Because the next size was not that much better. So I got it on and I was like yeah I like this one but it is so tight. So then came the tricky part. Getting it off. I stood for a minute thinking how I am going to get this off. I tugged on it for a bit with no success. Then I thought ok so I need to pull up from both sides at the same time and fantastic it came off. So I bought it.
Then I was off to Victoria's Secret. I come in and I was looking for the 2 for 32 t-shirt bras and I had no idea where it was at, since I don't go shopping there that often, and most definitely not for bras mostly lotion. So one of the workers there asked if I needed help and I asked her where it was at but she did not take me to the right t-shirt bras. Then she asked me if when the last time I was measured for a bra size. I said never. Then measured me and she totally measured me wrong. So then she grabbed a bra that was close to my size and took me to the dressing room and then grabbed another that was "my size". And then I had a different lady help and she told me what my real size was and she adjusted the bra and I fit really well besides the fact that it was a size too big on the width/round/circumference, I don't know the official name of it. So then the new person that was helping me she had me trying on all sort of interesting bras that I didn't even know existed. There was one that I thought was absolutely ridicious. It increased the cup size by two! I put it on and oh my gosh I was not meant to look like that. Yeah I was not meant to have C's. I look weird, at least I think so.
But I was very shocked at how friendly and helpful they were. I did not know how involved that they are in the back rooms, it was kinda nice to have someone come and bring you all sorts of things to try on and then have them adjust them just the way that they are might to. So yeah it was funny and I spent a lot of money but now I have new bras and shouldn't have to worry for a bit.

Finals are Conquered!
Happy day I finally finished all my finals this morning. Yeah so tired that I could not think how to say a lot of things in Japanese for the oral final but oh well it is over and no matter how badly I did I can't possibly get lower than a B in that class.
So yeah now I am at work. Originally I thought I was going to have to work 12 to 12 but I remembered that the library closes early on the last day of finals I was perfectly fine with covering hours for my coworker. So I thought today I was going to work from 12 to 8 and apparently the media center is closing at 2:30 so yeah I don't get to work all day long :( sigh only get to work for a bit, my poor hours are so small this week... Sadness
But the Monsters of despair are all gone and I get an experience level up in school now!! 15.5 credits should be earned, unless somehow I failed my CS which I think I passed.
Side note listening to All Caps and I love it!
