Post Spring Break 2012

So we are back to our normal life (post spring break in Boise). Boise was wonderful with weather that was pretty nice the first day, then very similar to Spokane the other days, but barely warmer. I had the wonderful opportunity to go to seminary at Mountain View on Thursday and Friday morning. It was so fun to see everyone there. Friday afternoon, I got to go to Renaissance and see many of my good friends from there. It was so weird to be back in my old school and see how much it has changed, in the people that go there, the atmosphere of the school, and the building itself. While in Boise, my family and I went hiking at a favorite old spot of ours: Camel's Back Park. We were coughing the whole entire hike! It was quite the experience. It is so cool at the top of the hill though! You can see all of downtown Boise from the top, and you can tell why they call Boise the city of trees (it's really because they haven't been to Spokane or anywhere in the Northwest for that matter).

By the end of that week, I was very best friend deprived. My friend left for New York City the Thursday before we left for Boise. I really wish I could have gone with her because she had an amazing time there and go to go and do so many cool things.

This is her in time square (she doesn't know that I got this off facebook). They got to go to several Broadway shows and the empire state building, the statue of liberty, the Museum of Modern Art, and several other cool places as well. Needless to say, I was still glad that she got to go. She brought my family back souvenirs. I got one of those classic "I love new york" t-shirts. It was as close as I have been to going to New York. 

School update:
I figure that I might as well try to give an update on all the sections of my life, and this happens to be one that I spend a lot of my time at. I currently HATE chemistry and the amount of thought and memorization that it takes on my part. My brain doesn't think science at all, so I really don't enjoy having to put effort into that class. I recently re-maxed in weights and made a personal goal of a 100 pound power clean max! That was quite the exciting milestone, and I think, the second or third highest max for that lift out of the girls in my class! I also hold the second highest squat max of all the girls in my class. So, for the most part, I enjoy that class. In yearbook, we are almost done with the book! I am now working on the page for Mr. CVHS with the beautiful Kellie Watson! That means that I have the wonderful privilege of going to that hilarious event this Tuesday. I am certainly looking forward to seeing many of the guys at my school making total fools of themselves for our pure entertainment. US History is just history with all it's crazy quirks just same as it has been all year, so nothing new there. In jewelry, I am working on a beautiful ring! I will post pictures once it is done. I just reached a HUGE milestone on it: I finished half of the wire work!!!!!!!!!!! It is ridiculously small and time consuming. Just to give you an idea, I spent about a month just trying to figure out how to do the wiring, tried 10-15 times until I figured out how after spending a month trying to figure it out in theory, then it took me about and hour to do the wire work after figuring it out. To tell you how small it is, it is about 5/16 of an inch long and 1/8 of an inch tall. The tools that I used were the smallest tools I have ever seen, and they were still too big to do the project, but I figured out how to do it anyways. The band and adjusting the prong cup took me about a month before all the wire work began just to add to that list. So, I am very excited to say that it should be done in less than a month! In seminary, we just had "conference in general". I gave a short talk on Elder Eyring's talk from this last General Conference. Here is a link to it: Mountain's to Climb. It was a wonderful talk, and this event in seminary gave me a good chance to study it. In spanish, we just started the last chapter of our book. This means we are almost ready to start reviewing for our final! As of this last week, we have learned every single tense out there except for four, which we are learning in this next chapter of the book! After we learn that we will know all we need and then some to pass Eastern's college final (by the way, I am now a college student at Eastern Washington University because of this class). Next month, we are going on a field trip to Ranch Viejo (a Mexican restaurant) with all the 3rd year spanish students. I think that covers everything. Whew, that was long!
