Excitement Explosion

Hola loyal followers.  It's been awhile again hasn't it?

But I think you'll forgive me when I inform you of just how wonderful life has been for me over the past 3 weeks.  Granted, it's had a few down lows too, but mostly, life has been great!

I got a job.

That's right a real life, full fledged, bonafide job.  And it's the best job in the world.  Want a hint?

Check it out.

Not enough of a hint for you?

What about this?

Okay fine, here's one more picture.

Okay, I'm just going to tell you.  I work at the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point!  Isn't that just the coolest job you can think of for a teenage girl (that's right, I'm not twenty yet) who's never worked a day before in her life?!

It totally is.  And the best part . . . I'm the person that gets to climb around the exhibits cleaning them.  I know it doesn't sound like the best job in the world, I'm a bit of a glorified janitor in some ways, but I can tell you, it is just the coolest job in the world.  I love it to pieces.  And that, dear friends is why I haven't blogged in 3 weeks and also why this post ends here.  :)

Life Changers

A week ago, I wrote a post on what was one of the hardest days of my life.  Feeling like the world was out to get me, I just wanted to crawl under my covers and pretend that I didn't exist.

A few people noticed my angst and sent encouraging emails filled with a desire to help, and while I did appreciate the emails, I failed to respond to them because I was far too busy to even think about it.

You see after my meltdown last week I went to my mom needing to find a solution to the problems I didn't feel like I could cope with.  She presented several options that I had been unable to see and ultimately provided the one option that sent a ray of shinning hope through the clouds of despair that encircled me at that time.  She suggested that maybe I stay home this semester, not go back to Ephraim and just take a few online classes to finish up my associates.

After careful deliberation, quite a few frustrating phone calls and an entire day of moving later, I can officially say that I have moved back home.  And boy oh boy am I excited.  As it turns out, the bad grades that had so devastated me only a week ago will in fact count towards my associates.  In fact, I'm only 5 credits short of getting it right now.  You have no idea the weight that has just been lifted off my young shoulders.

2012 was not my year, but so far, 2013 has started off with a really great kick and I'm highly excited to see what else it has to bring.

Bring it on.
