Before I get to the point I just wanted to say that I rocked the talk I had to give in church! I got so many "good job"s and "it was wonderful"! Maybe they were being polite, maybe I did do awesome, but personally I'm just glad it's over!
So back to the hustle and bustle of my life! Just kidding, my life is going in patterns! I finish a series of either Grey's Anatomy or Private Practice then start all over again... Every spare moment I'm watching tv. I am a lazy sac. For those of you who don't know me, get used to it.
Super short post but my life keeps going in these stupid tv patterns. Hence, broken record.

Livin' the Busy Life
Long time no write!
So guess what?
I. AM. BUSY.
Last post I wrote about University and job worries. So lets add some more things to worry about.
Money! A problem for most people. Yippee. I have decided to go to Greece and Italy. No not permanantly (I WISH) but for a wonderful 10 days. I will be touring Athens, Delphi, Sorrento, Rome, Capri, and Pompeii. It does cost about 3,000 and I'm going with a group, but it should be an experience of a lifetime either way. Which brings me to problem number dos. (#2 for my non-spanish speaking folks out there)
Remember when I was grumbling about not having a job? BOOM! I have 2. I work out at our local golf course (Magrath Golf Club! It's the best!) picking balls off the range and parking carts. Doesn't it sound exciting? It's not that bad. The people I work with are the best. They are super great and a bit on the humorous side! My 2nd job is working for a lady in town. She is the one who decided on planning this Greece/Italy trip. She offered me a job to help pay it off and I am EXTREMELY grateful for her! I tutor her son (sometimes 2 of them depending on the day) every weekday for 2 hours. Sometimes the days seem to just drag on but they are both good boys. I babysit when she needs me to and run errands with the boys. I just try to help whenever I can because every dollar I work for goes toward my trip.
I've never realized how exhausted I can get! I have to keep up my lawn, babysit my little sister, do a bit of housework, work at the golf course and for the lady in town. A couple of nights ago I came home from the course (9:30 pm ish) and was asleep before 9:45. I slept until 6 then got ready for work again.
I've solved the University problem! Yay! But my dearest mother doesn't want me to go. Not like that. She wants me to go to school but she doesn't want me to go to the school I want to go to. Grant MacEwan in Edmonton is where I would like to go for 2 years, then transfer back to Lethbridge. I worried about not finding a roomie? My bestfriend Hallie wants to go there too! AND we would have a place to stay if my mom actually lets me move up there. So my loner and University problems are solved... I just need to get the Wicked Witch of the West of Magrath (my mother) on board.
On a more recent note... MY COUSINS ARE COMING TO CANADA TODAY!!! Every year my cousins come up from Utah for our town celebrations! It's usually a big whirlwind of where to put everyone and wanting to visit and catch up, but HEY! I'm not complaining! For a full week I get to chill with my cousins that I only see for THIS week each year! Oh! Did I mention there's 20 of them? YUP! We are slowly growing!
I love visiting with my cousins but to add a cherry on top of my oh-so-busy schedule... my bishop asked me to give a talk. on PATRIARCHAL BLESSINGS! oh joy. I think it has something to do with the fact that I'm supposed to be getting mine super soon! i'm supposed to get a call! Ahh so excited!
So if you see me over the next week... give a reassuring smile or a thumbs up to show me I'm not in over my head!
Happy Magrath Days!

TO THE FUTURE!!!!
HELLO! So I've been trying to study for a Bio exam tomorrow and my little sister is blasting her Barbie Princess CD. oh joy. Anyway, lets take a break to BLOG! YAY for study breaks.
This semester went way faster than I thought it would. Saying that made me realize that I only have 3 semesters left of high school. EVER. I'm actually really nervous for college. or University. Don't even know which one. I want to go to the University because I'm already accustomed to the U of L, but I have to go to the college for 2 years. Also, I already appplied for a scholarship to the U of L but it won't let me use the money unless I am going to the U right after Highschool. Oh well.
My mom said that she would pay for my medical school if I really wanted to become a doctor. I've thought about it and the idea still sounds good to me and intrigues me, but I'm not smart enough. I don't feel smart enough. She also said she wouldn't let me get married until I finish. That's like 8 years! I'll be 26 by the time I'm done. No judging on sterotypical answers, but the idea of being a healer and helping people actually makes me want to be a doctor so bad. Not to mention it doesn't pay that bad either. I think that nursing is a good option though. I'll still get to work in the medical field and help.
My feelings about graduating next year literally confuse and scare me to the point that I actually cried. once. only once. I'm scared that I won't find a roommate or that I won't get accepted to any schools (even though they accept almost everyone) or that University is going to be too hard and I fail. Just thinking about the humiliation of failing makes me nervous.
We had a family friend come by to chat and drop off a treat today. She told me that I would do really well in nursing and that she could see me doing that. WHOOP! Gave me a motivational boost.
Study break over folks. Get back to your knitting. or in my case, studying.
sometime in the future I will tell you about my job hunting (ugh)
