One Week...

Goodness gracious.  Where has this summer vacation gone?

In one week I'll be headed back to Utah.  I cannot believe how fast this summer went.  Last summer seemed to go sooooo sloooooow, but the exact opposite happened this summer.  Maybe because it's the last summer before I have to become a full-fledged adult?  And honestly, that is a scary thought.  It hasn't totally sunk in yet that in a year (or less) I will be a college graduate.  On my own in the world.  AND I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING WITH MY LIFE.  Most people would say, "Oh, just get married and then you'll be set."  Just one problem though: I don't want to be married when I graduate.  I want to live my own life for a little bit before I'm tied down for the rest of my life.  Not that being married isn't great, because I hear it's the bomb, but I'm not ready.  At all.  I mean, I've barely dated, and people want me to get married?  I don't think so.

Anyway, I can't believe the rest of my life is slowly closing in on me.  Especially when I don't know what it is.  I mean, I know what I want, but I need to figure out if I'm going to be able to do it.  Life is just so...aggravating.  It's going to give me even more grey hair than I already have.

Oh, have I mentioned all of my freaking grey hairs?  They are EVERYWHERE.  It's ridiculous.  I mean, it's not totally shocking, since my mom was grey by the time she was 30, and my dad's almost all the way grey now, and he's only 44, but still.  I'm 21 and have a lot of grey hair.  And at the moment, I'm struggling to figure out if I should just suck it up and grow all of my hair own to my natural color.  I mean, it would be easier, but I don't want to look super weird for my senior year of college.  My dad really wants me to get a super short pixie cut.  I think he knows it will make me look much less attractive, and thereby keep his little girl single for a lot longer ;-)  I don't know, I think he just thinks it'll look cute, but I think it will make me look fat(ter).  But we'll see.  I want something new, and I at least need to chop off a lot of my hair to give a head start on growing out my natural color.  I just don't know if I want to chop it all off.

Some good new: I finished my independent study class!  I know, I had over a year and waited until the last possible moment to do it, but hey, it's done, and that's all that matters, right?  So all I have to do is take the final once I get back to BYU, and it'll all be good.

In other news, I might be graduating in August instead of April.  It's more or less up to my parents, so I guess we should figure that out soon so I can refigure some of my schedule and make it a bit less cluttered.  So here's to waiting for that.

I know that I still haven't talked about Switzerland/Italy yet, but I don't have my own laptop yet and don't want to upload my pictures to someone else's computer.  So once I can get it all figured out, I'll post some so you can all be jealous of my awesome vacation this summer :P

So anyway, I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their summer!  Some of you I'll see soon, and others...well, I don't know when I'll see you, but I hope you are all well :-)

Oh!  I almost forgot!  I need to do a Hottie of the Week post!  I recently watched "Becoming Jane," and the leading man was the ever-so-dashing James McAvoy.


Yeah.  It kind of pains me that he's married.  But he sure is lovely to look at.  And he has the most lovely blue eyes.  And he's actually Scottish, and his real accent is so adorable.  And he and Fassy have the most adorable bromance haha.  Anyway, that's really all.  Talk to you all later!
