Quick update about my life as of late

• Finally graduated school!
• Only have about 60 more hours of my internship 
• Made the great move back up to Salt Lake again (notice how I changed the title back to it's former glory?)
• Moved in with a Vegan (she gets the au naturale popcorn, while I lather mine up in butter. We make it work)
• We have had no internet for the past two weeks. Turns out I like the internet. I like it a lot.
• We also have had no furniture except a kitchen table. Yesterday we went venturing to DI and finally bought some kitchen chairs though. We couldn't fit much more in my little car.
• And I think the greatest news might be that I only have to fill my car up once every two weeks or so, rather than once every three days. Living in the same city where I work, wait, let's make that better.. Living a 5 minutes walk from my work makes life so much better. 

I think that's about all that's been going on. Hopefully once I get my internet back I'll be a little more faithful.

I have lost my ability to sleep in past 5 am. Stupid internal clock. It's amazing how much time I can waste in the time between 5 and when I have to leave. I don't get how people have these inspirational things come to them in the morning before anyone is awake, or they tend to get so much done that they normally can't. My routine is to wake up, try to avoid looking at the clock so I don't have to confirm what time it is, grab my phone and give in, get caught up on instagram and even read every tweet I missed on twitter, then get on my computer and usually spend my time on pinterest (as yes, my name is Alexis, and I am addicted to pinterest). But as of late, I've been spending my mornings looking for an apartment up in Salt Lake. Speaking of, do you know how difficult it is to find an affordable place up there? I've been searching for the past couple of weeks, and am still coming up empty handed, I was planning on moving this weekend, but that's not going to happen, unless some miracle occurs (unlikely). So if you happen to know of places, hook a friend up :)

i have returned

well turns out college doesn't leave much time for blogging, but i am forgoing sleep at the moment to do this.. finally. these last couple of weeks have been so awesome. i'm trying to get used to the whole college, and so far it is working out so great. i've had quite a few adventures, and cannot wait for the rest of this year.

This is only half of what I took up with me..

I had to capture my first day of school

My first brain cramp of college

At the zoo with my sister

First football game as a Ute.. still getting used to that one.

cruisin the streets of SLC

Makes me feel like I'm kind of in a big city.

procrastination..

i'm supposed to be packing right now because the big move is tomorrow, but i just can't seem to make myself want to go do it. maybe that's just because i have this mess waiting for me..

and this is only some of it. i just keep telling myself that it's going to be worth it. wish me luck!

it's official

this is my new home

as of tuesday i am an official resident of the university of utah. i will be living in the gateway heights dorms. i'm really nervous about living in the dorms though. i hope my roommate isn't a complete freak and that we get along, otherwise i don't know how i am going to survive a full year sharing a room the size of a shoebox with her. but i'm trying to find ideas for ways to decorate my room. because right now it's quite an eyesore. 
i have less than one week until move in day, and i don't think that is nearly enough time to find things to make my room cute, but it's okay. things will eventually fall into place, i hope.

i'm definitely going to need something like this.

and i think that this is a must

not ready.. quite yet.

today my mom decided that it was time for me to start putting some things aside for my new apartment. so far we have:

• 4 dinner plates
• 4 hand towels
• 3 wash cloths
• 3 towels
• 2 pillow cases
• 1 set of bed sheets
• 1 bottle of dish soap
• and last but not least, chicken seasoning

i would like to think that this is all i need.
