I really need to get out of Utah ASAP. I am slowly going nuts.

I was going to take a job offer my cousin was going to give me, but I decided that I really don't want to spend the whole summer here and just like take a weekend trip or two back home. I really need my home, my family, my friends, my social life. So after Spring quarter, I'm going to go back to Cali, probably work at the dental office for a few weeks & help them out there, then I'll be off to the Philippines (and probably a few other countries in South East Asia) for a few weeks. I can not wait, ya'll don't even know! I'll gain my sanity back. Then I'll come back to the states and bust out another year at BYU then be DONE and never have to deal with Utah again. I can't wait until I get to that point.

So I talk a lot of crap about Utah and BYU and what not (or maybe not crap- but I really make it seem like I hate it here, which is sort of the truth). And people ask me "Well what did you expect?" or "Why'd you go there then?"

And the answer is quite simple, really. I needed to get out of California if I was serious about getting a degree. I'm already old and I need to be out exploring the world. I knew that if I had tried to stay in California and go to school, I'd be in school forever. I'd be so distracted. So coming here to Utah, it's boring and lame enough for me not to be distracted and I've been able to concentrate on school and I'm able to handle business.

It's going to feel so good after this all over with.

And I can't wait to be home in two weeks! It's going to be fun! Taking my mom clubbin' for her 50th birthday. She's awesome.
