Say what? x2

Really my life is pretty unexciting with random bursts of minor entertainment....

Friday I went to work as usual and had a normal day. I was hoping to leave early so that i could make it to the ring ceremony and reception of my old roommate Krystal. Luckily enough Meya wanted to stay later because she didn't work much during the week so i got off at 4 instead of the usual 6. I met Salena at Deseret book...We stopped at the mall to leave a card for her man and then off we went on our adventure!! We pulled out of the mall parking lot and were waiting at the stop light. Suddenly i notice that the lady in the car in front of Salena was getting out of her car screaming!! To make a long story short i got out of the way and eventually found Salena and the crazy lady in the parking lot at toys-r-us. I stopped so that Salena and I could drive to American Falls together. Next thing I know the PSYCHO that just chewed out Salena turned on me! I was in such shock that she was yelling at ME an innocent bystander that i don't even really remember much of what she said.... something about "if your going to drive like that" and "those are my kids" I'm sure i just had this "you have got to be kidding me" look on my face. Finally i was like um you don't have to be so rude! It was an accident...things like this happen... not to mention i had nothing to do with this! She went off on another one of her rants and i said I'm leaving now and pulled out. I came to find out later from Salena that there wasn't even any damage done!! Crazy control freak lady!!! But my friend that's not all that Friday held in store for me! ( Say what? number one)

Salena and i had a wonderful time at the reception (we didn't make it to the ring ceremony thanks to the crazy lady) and parted ways in Pocetello where she went to Preston and i came home. I was a good mile or 2 from my exit and i was really tired... i kept zoning out REALLY bad! all of the sudden i see these lights in my rear view mirror! I immediately pulled over and about peed my pants!! I have never ever been pulled over before so i was really scared! I got out my license and prepared for the worst. I rolled down the passenger side window where he was and said Hi..... how are you? and he said Hi I'm good.... two reasons i pulled you over (TWO!?!?!) the first is that you were speeding... i got you at 71 and its only 65 and then you were swerving since i have been behind you. Have you been drinkin tonight? (SAY WHAT!?! number 2) I'm sure my mouth popped open when i said no.... i don't drink!* Thankfully the cop was SUPER nice about everything he looked at all my info at my window and let me go not even a written warning! I didn't get a breathalyzer either! ha ha i thought it was so funny though!! Me of all people getting pulled over for drunk driving!

*I was swerving because my mom's stupid car! the alignment is SSOOO off you have to hold the steering wheel like you're turning left! I always tell her that i feel like a swerve all over in her car! My dad even said that car swerves like nothing else!

Growing up...

I think I have officially decided that growing up sucks. Don't get me wrong I guess it really does have its perks... Eating ice cream for dinner, staying up as late as you want, spending your money however you want, making your own choices... but the perks don't come without consequences.... getting fat, being tired for work/school, being poor and not being able to pay your bills, dealing with the choices you make... I don't see why when you are younger you are so eager to grow up. Kids just don't understand... growing up looks glorious but if they only knew... hahaha Maybe its just the wanting what you don't have kind of thing?

At this stage in my life I kinda think that maybe when am actually older it will be easier. I'm at a middle stage. I"m not grown up but I'm not a kid. Right now my future is so unsure! I have 2 semester of classes left and then my student teaching. I still have no idea where I want to student teach. I keep hoping that by some miracle there will be something that comes up that kind of decides for me. A lot could happen in a year.... I guess I keep waiting to plan my life around other people which is definitely not the way to go... Other people continue with their own lives. They get married, they have kids, they move back home and get an awesome job from someone they already know. I guess I just need to buck up and make my own decisions once. I think i just hate having almost everything in my life so up in the air. It seems like I can only plan my life in about 3 month sections. I just feel like i just want to be 5 years down the road and hopefully my life will be a little more stable then, but at the same time it seems like I'm wishing my life away. It's like I'm always gonna say that it will be better in a while instead of living in the moment and being happy with what I have because I could have a lot less! It also seems like (especially in my culture) that the older you get the more things you should have accomplished....be married, have a good job, have a house and a car etc.... but it kinda seems like I'm not very close to any of that but that's kind of what is expected of me... It seems like everyone wants me to have a direction in my life ( I convince them I have one) but really I have no idea what I'm doing.... I guess its just a dilemma of being 21 and still figuring out life.

Blogging huh?

A lot of people I know are all about the blogs. I'm not really sure what the fuss is about but I guess I decided to try it out and see how it goes. My life isn't all that exciting but you know I'm ok with it. Right now I am reading the Twilight series! That about the most exciting thing. BUT i am a hopeless romantic and so these books are right up my allie! I think just from reading this you can understand why I decided to call it random ramblings... Any way... hopefully soon enough I will have fun or exciting or even funny things to write about!
