Deadlines! Deadlines! AHHH! I had so many ideas! The deadlines for things keep passing though. First session of classes started, same for housing. I missed calling people on time and making arrangements for housing in Boulder, Colorado Springs, or Denver (Ahh!). My options looked like parents house, maybe Denver housing, or SLC. I haven't looked into SLC jobs enough and I'd have to abandon my boss here, as a couple of waitresses are about to quit. I daydream about SLC a lot. Then I think about my friends here. I don't particularly want to go back to GJ because of hurt feelings, drama, and boredom. I need at least a little break from GJ to get over and let go of all of that. Hmmm. Ok, I just need to decide. I think I'd be able to make myself happy with any of my options currently. But I need to prepare mentally and pack for them differently. Hmmm. Ok, ok. Options-
1. SLC, $300 month rent, possible internship. Hiking, library, new enviro, get away from everything.
2. Work in Denver at old job. Maybe get internship or volunteer job. Live at parents house (ahh!) or desperately try to find housing.
3. GJ- summer school, possible internship where I might be for a year or so more. Found out my parents will pay for housing ($520 a month). Drama, hurt feelings, mean friends, smallest city, worst libraries.

Ok, I think I've decided. I'll combine the ideas. Stay in Denver for another month and a half (ish). Work at restaurant. Try for fun volunteer job. Try to get over drama and hurt feelings issues with GJ. (that should be enough time, I hope). Then summer class at GJ and possibly an internship. Then, I won't pay any rent all summer, and possibly not even for food. Get a break from GJ, get to work at my old job for a bit and help my boss, get school credit, etc. That's awesome! I think. I hope. Yeah. That's good. Very good. Hmmm. I'll feel better soon. I've been over whelmed by all the planning and not deciding. Maybe I'll live in SLC next summer. I had a plan before of living in CO Springs one summer (b/c it's pretty but I can't handle their winters) and SLC for a summer (also b/c I can't handle winters there). Actually the plan was Co Springs and Boulder, but Boulder was replaced by my odd change of priorities this last couple years. (I know, that's a huge difference in cities, lol). Hmm. I might change my mind about SLC next year and maybe wish I went this year, but maybe not. I think this is a good plan. Now, I can pack and make plans for the time I’m here and there.

New cute red head to add to the list- Amy Davidson.

Movie reviews-
The Upside of Anger: Pretty good movie. The daughters are cool characters. Dragged on a bit, but still good.

The Amityville Horror: I knew this movie was going to scare me. I think the first Amityville horror was better (I think I saw the tv editted version of it). I ended up turning the movie off before he went totally crazy. I had nightmares about it, lol. I haven't had nightmares from a movie in years. It really wasn't nightmare scary. I'd still recommend this movie to people who like scary movies.

Movie review:
A lot Like Love- boring, pointless. I nearly turned it off, but I kept it on to see how it ended. Kept dragging on. It gets your hopes up enough to be unsatisfying when it has a plot turn.

I went to the Denver Library yesterday. It was cool. There's two stories of non-fiction books.

I think I have a major thing for red heads now. lol. Check out Alicia Witt or Bryce Dallas Howard. There's some hot red headed guys out there too, but I can't think of any famous ones.

I'm back in Denver now. I just got back a couple days ago. I can't wait to see everyone here.

Movie reviews:
1. The Wedding Planner- Cute movie. I don't know why he liked her or why she liked him though. I didn't sense that they liked each other or that there was anything going on until they flat out said it. But, not a bad movie anyway.

2. The Sisterhood of the Traveling pants- It's my aunt's favorite book, so I thought I'd watch the movie. It's really cheesey and meant for a young audience I think. I liked the Greek scenes.

3. Must Love Dogs- I hate blantant advertising in movies!!!! This movie does a lot of it. "If your lonely, do what I did, go to LWEKJFIOVC.com" (I refuse to advertise it in my complaint). Other than that, it was kind of cute. It made me feel lonely, even when it was over, but that could have also been because I watch three chick-flick movies about dating. lol.

So, I drove to Salt Lake City yesterday. That was fun. The first stretch of road with nothing on it, with no towns, scared the hell out of me! I know people complain a lot about Colorado State Patrol, but I love them now. I would have been so relieved to see a cop or too for safety reasons on those roads. But it's probably good they weren't there since I was speeding more than I ever have in my life to get to the next towns. lol. So, I can see why people settled in Salt Lake, it's really pretty there. The mountains, the trees, the lake were beautiful. I like SLC radio too. I've never heard such conservative talk radio (I listen to Dr Laura here sometimes, but their shows were way more conservative than her, which I didn't know was possible), it was fascinating. The "I almost became a liberal" song was hilarious if you don't take it personally. I was shocked by how few grocery stores and shopping centers there are. I'm use to a stretch of neighborhood with a stretch of stores and restaurants next to more neighborhoods (in Denver). I like the grid system. I thought I'd get so lost, but once someone explained it too me, I didn't get very lost at all. (Thank you Ken!). Everyone talks about how big that city is and how big the tabernacle and library and everything is. Coming from Denver, I thought everything seemed really small. I guess it's big for a Mormon church and it is a pretty big city for the area. Maybe my expectations were too high. I'm not sure what there was to do downtown, I didn't get a chance to walk around much. I bet there were more things to do than what I saw. I mostly went around North Temple and South Temple, and around the U of U. My favorite part of SLC was around U of U. Those are such cute neighborhoods. The trees were huge and green, the yards were nicely taken care of. There were kids playing in the yards and groups of teenagers working on carpentry projects (I think they were preparing for something, that would be cool if that were an everyday things though). The traffic was another awesome thing! I've never been to a city with such courteous drivers. The speed limits were slow for a city, which was nice. I really wanted to see North and NW SLC, but I wanted to get home before it got too late. Does anybody know what it's like up there? I bet it's pretty closer to the lake. I met some cool people there. Ken was good guy. He helped me figure out how to get around town. He totally took care of me, was very considerate, and very helpful. I also met one really dramatic, rude girl. Then I met two really chill hippy guys. I wish I had met more girls there, since now I have an image in my mind of nice, hot guys and mean, bithcy girls in SLC. Although, I’m sure that’s not true all over town. The drive back was a little scary. I nearly got lost, but thankfully, somehow got back alright. It was pitch dark with no street lamps or towns for a long stretches. Overall, SLC’s interesting, and could be a cool place, especially if they open more things to do and places to work. It was a really fun day, I’m glad I went.
