Oreos, Peacocks, and The Hunger Games

So I had made a goal to blog all the time when I moved up here to school and it's not that I don't have to time and it's not always about not having the urge to, I just don't for some reason.
As I was sitting on my couch after finishing some homework I have finally decided to. Once every two months is okay right?
I feel all writerish and such right now but probably at the end of this blog I will be dead tired as it is 2 in the morning and I have to be up for class at 6. Probably a dumb idea to be up this late but maybe I just won't sleep tonight.
In the very first weeks of September I realized that it was very important that I decide what to for Halloween, I search all over the internets and came up with nothing. Then one day it hit me! A peacock! I should be a peacock! Now don't ask where this grand idea came from but I deduced that it could be an awesome idea, it is just about execution of the costume. All of the costumes that I could buy were ugly and normal, cheap looking costumes so I have set out to make my own!



Lame right? And I really don't want to have to be worrying about hitting everybody with a massive tail all night either. So here are the pieces that will soon be my, original, peacock costume!Of course Tommy Boy and the oreos aren't part of it but they kept me company while I started the costume.
Since I started my costume I , of course, have thought of many other brilliant ideas. Ramona from Scott Pilgrim and the internet sensation Nyan cat to name a few but I still very much like my peacock costume idea.

Moving on from that I am reading The Hunger Games for a class and I love it! I can hardly put it down and once I am done with this blog I am picking it right back up and reading it! I know my mom doesn't like the book at all but it is just so captivating! In the 24 hours I have been reading it I have read almost 300 pages, which I think is pretty good seeing as I had class and homework and dreadful bills to pay! Anyways I highly recommend that everyone read this!
But for now I'm done talking about it and just want to read it!

Good night and sweet dreams everyone!

"You Have To Leave The Ground To Learn To Fly"


And that is exactly what I'm doing, I'm leaving the ground and learning to fly. Can I just tell you? I'm so excited to do this. I love the messages of music and this one is just so hopeful. It just builds me with so much hope for the future, hope for what I'm starting to build, hope for life. Life is finally beginning for me and I cannot wait for it to begin. When I moved from California I was so scared to be uprooted from what I knew my whole life until then but now I'm not scared. I'm ready to face the challenges that I know lie ahead of me, ready to start a new school, with a new job, in a brand new city. Life is falling into place. I may not live in the most ideal apartment or have my most ideal job but they're mine and I want to take them as they are and find the happiness in all.

As I sit in my bed waiting for sleep to come I can't help but be just a tiny bit sad to leave this house. But it's okay to feel just a tinge of sadness right. An old chapter in my life is closing just as another one begins, a chapter that I cannot wait to begin. My official moving day is here, I'm packing up the very last things to go. i'm sitting in a quiet house just thinking. I'll miss this house but I know that wherever I go I can always come back, but for now it's time to move on. Goodbye house. Goodbye Spanish Fork. And goodbye to the ones I love here. I'll miss you, but I'll be back to visit sometimes. For now it's time for me to go and start life...
