It's been a long time

So I once again suck at blogging. But here's a summary of the past six months in pictures cause let's be honest, who likes reading anyways?...

Sometimes I'm like TOO gangsta for josh

Celebrating Birthdays with some bloomin onions

So... yeah there have been fun times. At the moment, school occupies my life more than ever. It's insane and I wish I had more time for family and friends and the Lakers who have all been seriously neglected as of late.... but I'm just pushin through till graduation next year. Next month I find out where I'll be doing my internship next Winter... so essiting! Me and Josh are doing great. He's a sweetie. He should be receiving his mission call for this summer :) and I'm way excited for him.

June

Spring term is over! I finally have time to sleep, read and have relax. June has been wonderful. The day finals ended I flew home. Bakersfield wasn't unbearably hot yet which was lovely. The Lakers won the championship AGAIN :) I got to see the ocean again, I went shopping with Mom and Beth, got a lesson in cooking authentic Indian food from some friends, watched toy story 3, hung with my girls who i miss so much :) I got to visit old family neighbors and friends, went to dinner with Monavie and the girls for her birthday, me and mom made Dad a father's day breakfast, I attended my home ward where I was asked to give the prayer in Sunday school (its tradition now i guess) and then after church I flew back to Provo. It was an awesome trip.

After my quick visit home I got to come back to this sweet boy who has brightened up my life. He's a beautiful person. And he's been teaching me how to cook! Haha.
What could be better?

That's a wrap

After an exciting/tormenting series,
the Lakers won the West in Game 6 tonight in Phoenix.

All I have to say is...

Really McCain?

Really Sasha?

WHOOooOO. My main man.

Symbiosis

Symbiosis describes close and often long-term interactions between different biological species.

In my infection and immunity class we've been studying the three different kinds of symbiosis. I couldn't help but compare them to relationships in general. Isn't it true that every couple relationship falls into one of the following categories?

Mutualism:

Both parties benefit. Clown fish need anemones, anemones need clown fish.
They complement each other like Beyonce and Jay-z.

Commensalism:

One benefits, the other is indifferent. Barnacles need whales, whales don't give a crap.
Same with Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron. He doesn't need her. He'll dump her eventually and she'll disappear into obscurity.

Parasitism:

One benefits, one is harmed. Yeah... you get the picture

They've Got So Much Things to Say

This week I've realized an important lesson. There are a lot of hurt and angry people in this world. In life we will be offended by others and we will offend others whether or not we mean to. We're all different, we were all raised differently, we all have different beliefs about the way things should be and the way people should act. We have different perspectives, but no one ever knows the whole story, no one can completely understand another person's point of view or see the end from the beginning. Sometimes you'll want to speak your mind, give your opinion, get something off your chest and you may really believe in what you have to say. But words are a deadly weapon and you can't take them back or undo the damage they cause. I've been guilty of saying too much in the past but being on the receiving end during some of the events of this past week have driven home a message that I will live by from now on. You can't always change people's minds so before you speak, consider whether or not your words will bring about any change for the better. Some things are best left unsaid.

Chocolate High

So... after walking up to campus half asleep this morning, I went into the office to clock in where I was pleasantly surprised by the sight of a handsome, young, dark skinned addition to our crew. He introduced himself with a slight accent. Turns out he's from Ghana! He speaks 4 of their dialects in addition to English, he's a computer science major, he's beautiful, dresses well and seems really sweet and sincere (a hard to find characteristic in guys these days). New motivation for getting out of bed=giving this fine gentleman a friendly Jambo! every morning :)
Guess who's work attendance percentage is about to skyrocket?

There are two types of people in this world

There are people who listen to good music,
and people who don't know what good music is
People who watch anime, and people who use more than 2% of their brain
There are people who do what they say they're gonna do,
and there are people who suck
People who are liberal, and people who wear shoes
There are people who think you can be just friends with an ex and people who admit you can't
People who love cats, and people who are loved by other people
There are people who like GLEE and there are people who accept reality
There are people who go to BYU and there are people who are cool
There are people who believe there are two types of people in this world and people who are wrong
