P.S.--Some other incredible things have been happening in my life lately. I spoke in front of the SL Sugar House Authority Board and a huge audience last night. I am the chair of the 10th anniversary committee at my work, so I was there to get approval for using the park for our celebration. The presentation was at the SL county building, and it was SO exciting… my first real world speech J I thought you would all be proud haha…
P.S.S.—I just found out that I get free passes to the Sundance Film Festival since I work on the Westminster newspaper. We get free press passes as long as we write an article about one of the films. I am SO excited!

Art... Vegas... Life
I am going to Vegas this weekend with Scott!! For the first part of the trip, Scott and I are just going to do whatever—hopefully go on the roller coasters, go swimming, hang out in the hot-tub, and just relax. On Saturday we are going to see his grandpa, and hang out with his family who is driving down tomorrow. I haven't been to Vegas for a LONG while, so I am SO EXCITED! Too bad I am not 21 yet :(… oh well, six more months and I will be 21! This year will be a good one (lots of 21st birthday parties to go too)! I graduate before I turn 21! How crazy is that?! I seriously need a vacation so this is definitely a good thing!! I am also going to Florida at the end of February for a week. We are going to Disney World, Epcot Center, etc. The hotel is amazing!!! I am so excited; I haven’t been on a REAL vacation (meaning anything but camping) in SO long.
I really love my classes this semester. I am taking Art History-Impressionism to Post Modernism, Newspaper Editing, Electronic Communication, the school newspaper (of course!), and photojournalism… I really like my art class since it is somewhat different from all the classes I have been taking in the past few years (my major requirements).
I went to the fine art museum up at the U yesterday and found this amazing painting about the riots in LA in 1991. It was a mixed media piece with amazing color, historical meaning, and feeling… you should all check it out if you get a minute. There are also some great photographers being displayed. The exhibit is currently spotlighting african-american culture. It is simply amazing.
I forgot how much I love art galleries. I love getting lost in other people’s art—it only helps my art get better, stronger, more meaningful… plus, it’s so nice to learn about history through art.

That I would be good....
In the famous words of Billy Madison, “Back to school! Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool! I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight! Ohhhh, back to school! Back to school! Back to school! Well, here goes nothing!”
Yeah…. I am now back in school, and goodness, it seemed like a SHORT break… all of my friends who go to the U or SLCC are laughing out loud at me because I had to go to school a freaking WEEK earlier than them…I’ll show them when I get out of school a week earlier than them! Wuahahaha…. What in the world… I am in the weirdest mood today. I have to go to my two hour long art history class in 20 minutes. I really like that class except for the fact that it is TWO HOURS long… what the heck is up with that?!
Oh well, better just grin and bare it since it’s my last semester. Anyway, I am going snowboarding this Saturday if my life depends on it! I haven’t even been up to the resorts yet, and it makes my stomach cringe! There is such beautiful snow up there right now so if you call me and I answer my phone on Saturday any time between noon and 4 p.m. tell me to go snowboarding!
Any hoot, my classes this semester seem like they will be pretty easy. I just have to ready my gargantuan art history book every night and be a good little student and then ALL IS WELL because I will be done with my undergraduate degree! YAY!
I am going to a really cool art gallery on Friday presented by my friend Chris Bailey. If you want to go with me you should call me because I guarantee there will be some breath-taking art there. I am also going to my friend Andrew’s show afterwards, so you should all come hang out this weekend! I miss you, and I am a social mood… so let’s go get coffee, or make out…which ever you prefer.
I hope you are all doing well! I love you!
