Road trip, anyone?!

Who doesn't love spur of the moment road trips?! I, for one, love them. So today, the girls and I jumped into the truck and drove the little over an hour route to the GRAND CANYON. I'd been back in 7th grade, but this time was even better!

We stopped in Bedrock City on the way there, though....

Jailbate!

I'm ferocious, watch out! (Rawr!)

Giant dinosaur slide! (I felt like I was four; great feeling!)

What's not to love?! The Grand Canyon and my favorite purple tank top!

We had a lot of fun, as if the pictures weren't evidence enough!

I feel so fortunate to live in Arizona. Granted, I rarely felt that way when I lived in Phoenix, but now that I'm in Flagstaff, it's all different. Some of my favorite things about good ole Arizona:
- The sunsets are priceless
-You can go three hours in any direction and be in a completely different climate
-We have one of the Seven Wonders in our own backyard
-Our winters are never as cold as anyone elses (like the East Coast...brrr!)

I adore the Grand Canyon. I found myself completely awestruck today, while looking down into the unending depths of the Canyon. Such a beautiful creation. I can't wait to go back in November and go hiking!!

Homecoming

Two weeks ago, I headed back home for the Homecoming game and Dance. My best friend took me to the dance, and we made it a double date with Megan and Juan.

Enjoy!

college part II

Wow, I'm an official college kid! It's still completely surreal to me. I love it though!

Classes are in the beginnings of their third week. I love most of them so far. My schedule is pretty spread out, but I don't mind. It gives me the time to take my assignments one class at a time.

Mondays are pretty simple: my First Year Seminar on Social and Political Worlds doesn't start til 1:50pm. Pretty fantastic, eh? Then...I don't have class again until 7pm. I know, it's late for a class to be starting. But, on the plus side, we only meet once a week, and the class is entertaining mostly because of the professor. The biggest (and probably only) downside is that I miss both Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill. :[

Tuesdays are still my least favorite day of the week. I don't think that will ever change. My day starts off at 9:35am with Geological Disasters. You'd think it'd be interesting, right? Well, it isn't. At least not right now. Unless discussing tectonic plates and shifts are entertaining. Let's go with a no. But once we get into earthquakes, which we're hopefully starting tomorrow, it will be a lot better. I hope. I have a break from 10:50 to 12:45; I usually grab lunch and exchange books before heading back to north campus. 12:45 is the time of my own doom: Communication 101. My biggest and most boring class. Three hundred and twenty five people, and a professor that couldn't be more dry. If it weren't essential to my major, I would've dropped it. Class is out at 2pm, and I don't have class until my Geology Lab at 6:15pm.

Wednesdays repeat with my First Year Seminar on Social and Political Worlds. I have an hour break to revive myself with some Starbucks before heading to my next class: Journalism 200. Great class. Very easy. The professor is definitely an interesting one, but I don't mind. He's a real "get to the point, do it and git er done" type of teacher. Class is supposed to get out at 6:40pm. The latest we've gotten out is 5:15. It's fantastic! :]

Thursdays are the same as Tuesdays, minus the Geology Lab. I'm done for the week by 2pm. Love love love that!

So there's a bit of an update on classes. My roommmate and I get along well, and are quickly catching on to the concept of college. I love Flagstaff with all of my heart. It's changed some of my perceptions, though. "Hot outside" is now 84 degree weather, instead of the typical 115 degrees we'd experience daily in Phoenix. I get excited when I can go out in 60 degree weather in jeans and a tank and not freeze, considering 60 degrees is practically winter at home! hahah

As always, I'm living a fabulous life! :]
