Short Post, 2 weeks left

Just a quick post:  I am in the final stretch of my Logan UT life and it's actually really sad.  I am finished with one of my 3 classes already, my other two classes end next Wednesday and then I have nothing to do but pack until graduation on the 3rd.  So I decided to do something about that....

This weekend is Easter weekend, tonight I am going to a talent show... tomorrow I am going to hang out with some friends and play games and probably clean and pack some more... Sunday I have a meeting with the bishop at 9:30 and then ward council at 11, church at 12:30-3:30 and then I am going to prepare dinner for people who have no other plans for Easter!  Monday I will go to class, clean, pack and try to sell off some of my things.  Tuesday I will spend the day preparing 2 dinners, one for Tuesday and one for Wednesday and Tuesday night my friend Rex is coming over for dinner and in exchange he is going to serenade me!  On Wednesday I have my two finals, one at 1pm and one at 5pm.  Then at 7pm I have a dinner date with Jake.  He's this really attractive man in my ward who is in the air force, sings, plays guitar, is sweet and funny and just a genuinely nice guy.  I asked him on the date because what did I have to lose... I leave in 2 weeks, if he's not interested at all there is only one week that things could even be awkward and if he is slightly interested then it gives me the change to get to know him better!  I like improving my friendships!  Then Thursday Friday and Saturday will be Choir days because we have our spring concert.  Sunday I am singing in church and then Finals week begins... I don't have everything planned out but I will finish packing, selling and donating all my stuff.   Wednesday night I will drive to Orem for another date with Brad.  Thursday I will sit anxiously all day long until my friend Gabie is finished with her final and then I will wait anxiously at the airport until my family (mom dad and brother) arrive.  Friday will be a play day, Saturday is graduation, Sunday the family goes home and then Monday I leave for Michigan to see the rest of my family (Kristen, Adam and Emma). I'll spend some time there and then it's off for New Hampshire.  After that I have no idea what I will be doing.  Part of me wants to find a new adventure to pursue and part of me wants so desperately to have a reason to come back to UTAH....

When I left for Utah 4 years ago I was sad to leave home but excited to press forward with life.  Now, 4 years later, I am preparing to leave Utah and I didn't realize it would be so hard.  I have many wonderful friends out here that I will miss dearly.  I will miss the atmosphere and environment of living around so many wonderful members and non members. I will miss the dating potential offered me in Utah (which will severely decrease).  I will miss the mountains (there I said it) and I will miss quaint Logan and all her charms!  I will put my faith is Heavenly Father, I will actively pursue my next adventure and I will go where the spirit will take me!

31 days and counting!

So I graduate in 31 days from Utah State University with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing.  You know, no big deal.  In all seriousness, I am so excited to graduate but it will be a little sad to leave the friends I made here in Utah.  I know that I will always keep in touch but at the same time there are some people who will be very hard to say goodbye to.

On a happier note my mom, dad and brother are coming out for my graduation so that will be wonderful and then I will be heading home and on my way I am taking a detour to Michigan to visit my sister and brother-in-law and niece for a bit!  I am stoked for my road trip and it will be nice to have a place to stop for a bit on the way! Plus I'll finally get to use my passport when coming home from Michigan because I'll cut through Canada!!!

Not too much else is new. I am involved in a pretty steady flirtation with a guy out here in Utah but I'm not putting too much weight into because I am leaving in a month... I like him and have a lot in common with him and I wont write him off completely but I also wont rearrange my life for a guy a just met a month ago.  We'll see what life has in store for me on that front but for now I am enjoying the flirtation!

I am almost done with work and I will have more time to clean and socialize and search for future employment and pack and plan my move!  I have 13 days left but only 7 more shifts!!!! I work the rest of this week (except Sunday because we're closed), I work at most 3 days next week because I have Saturday requested off and then Sunday again, and then the 15th is my last day!

I did well on my first two exams and if I study better next time I will end the semester with all A's!!!! It's a good way to go out!  My last day of class is my last day as a student at USU (April 25th). I have no finals during finals week so I will have a week of down time and then I graduate... so maybe I will get everything figured out for a future career path before I even head home... Who knows?

I do know that I am definitely in countdown mode because I talk about everything in terms of days left rather than just looking forward.
