Emilia’s Thoughts…

so it was my birthday this last week. it was pretty sweet. it was fun. i just turned 21! yeah for being legal. i guess. pretty much feels the same as 20 or 19 for that matter. its just weird how fast time is going. for my birthday i took the day off work and went to a jazz concert which was pretty much amazing. then i had a party after the jazz concert and it was fun to see everyone.  i just keep thinking how much im going to miss everyone. i dunno how i’ll handle not being able to go to class and see everyone. its like i’ve taken everything for granted and now its all going away. it makes me sad. anyway so we had a party and ate lots of cake. clint brought an air soft gun for me to shoot people with but 1. i can’t aim and 2. i was scared of it coming back and getting me so i didnt shoot anyone or anything. but i continue to find the little yellow balls all over my apartment. overall it was a pretty sweet birthday. then i went up to my parents for the weekend and it was nice to catch up on sleep. that whole week i didnt get to bed before 3 am. i dunno i guess im trying to soak up all the moments i can with everyone. anywho thats my report on my happy birthday.

Okay so I’m finally getting a chance to sit down and do my blog. I know its been awhile but oh well. That and I have pictures this time but as you’ve noticed they are all very very random. Get used to it. Thats just me. The first one is of my room down here at Snow College. Its clean and look my bed is made! You should all know what an accomplishment that is! This is actually an old picture too…although my bed is made today its kinda a little more messy in the room. Alright a lot more messy but I like it. That and there are pretty flowers hanging from my ceiling so when I fall asleep it leaves me smiling. So that’s my pretty room. Don’t you love the huge bed!? I do. The next picture or two is of my new hair cut. Most of you have seen it by now so nothing new. Its pretty crazy. I really miss being able to put it up in a pony tail but I do like it. People keep telling me that I look like a model. I love it. The next pictures is of my one and only room mate Mary. This is her normal position. On the phone getting ready for a wedding. I never knew planning a wedding was such a pain in the butt. If i ever get married im just going to get married and skip everything else. The next picture is of my silly little niece and nephew lydia and carson. Lydia came into the laundry room and she wanted to help but couldnt reach inside the dryer to pull stuff out so I just put her in and she would hand things out to me. It was a good system and then carson came along and wanted in and it turned into a very cute picture! The next picture is of my puffy chicken and my art doll. This makes me laugh so hard. Casey came up with it while I was gone. I came into the room and it was there. Kinda reminds me of lion king but more like chicken king or something. The next couple pictures are of my recent pottery adventures. They actually turned out not too bad. I actually just went into throw today after almost three weeks. I struggled to say the least and the bottom side of my hand is no longer there. It was all rubbed off. I went to reno almost not this last week but the week before. It was a band trip. Need I say more. It was pretty hilarious. Kinda lame at parts because there is nothing to do in reno. Lol of course there was the strip joint behind our hotel… No, most of the time I was on a bus either sleeping or playing cards. I learned how to play poker! I stink at it though. Met a lot of people and that was fun. We played really well and amazingly enough we made it back with all of our percussion stuff and all the percussionists. That was my goal so I guess it was successful. Nate came to hear us play at the Music School. He didn’t get to hear the cool stuff though. It was really nice to see him there. It really meant a lot that he would come and listen to me. Anywho the trip ended and the next day a came down with a nasty ear ache and then a nasty cold followed. I am just barely feeling better and I have much to catch up on in school. Being gone all week kinda put me behind. Anyway thats my life in a nut shell. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

this weekend i went up to my brother and sister-in-laws house and they started me a blog! the only problem now is i dont really know what to do with it. i have pictures i need to put up but at the moment i don’t have my camera so i can put them up.  i have cute pictures of my nieces and nephews and my family. i also have pictures of my new hair cut. only nate, ash, chris and laura have seen it out of my family. i like it. its really short. short enough i dont have to use conditioner…that’s a major plus. the only problem is i keep trying to straighten it and i burn the crap out of my fingers. not quite used to the shortness. i’ll also make sure to take some pictures of my pottery that i’ve done. i tried a new technique today and it worked out amazingly. i’m so proud that i actually pulled two things off the wheel in less that 2 hours. i love pottery so much. its funny because it has a way of pushing my moods one way or the other. if i mad, it only makes me more angry, if i’m happy and relaxed it boyes me up ten times more. maybe i’ll get to a point where my emotions don’t show in my work…or maybe i should learn to control those emotions and put them into my work.  anway thats how my day is going so far. i’ll make sure to put up another post with all my pictures soon.
