Adele

Adele sings to my soul. I love all her slower songs. (Someone like you, turning tables, make you feel my love) I just love that she writes her own songs and that the piano is in all of her songs. She's just great.

Becca

So Becca is one of my best friends. She is definitely the person I go to first to tell anything and everything. I know I can always count on her to be positive and lift my spirits. She's one of the greatest friends I've ever had and I'm so grateful for her in my life. Just over a week ago she moved over 700 miles away. We still text everyday but it was so hard last week when I had a party and I couldn't invite her. I know it sounds simple but we always had fun when we were together no matter what. Since we both got out of school early last year we would go to lunch about twice a month. Every time we went to Rubios. Rubios was the place that I found out that she was moving. I remember going home not knowing what I would do without my best friend. Now I'm learning how to live without her. Its going to be really hard but I know that her leaving will make me stronger. I know that she will be great in Utah and that she will make tons of friends and succeed in whatever she tries. If the world had more Becca's in it, it would be a much better place.

Your

I think my biggest pet peeve is when people use the wrong your. It drives me insane. For instance "Your going to the store?" No. That doesn't make sense. I'm no grammar guru but I think a junior in high school should know how to use their yours.
*"You're going to the store?"

Computer Problems

So I'm probably one of the only people in the world that has had problems with a mac. I've only had it for 10 months and I've had to take it into the Apple store 4 times.
The first time I took it in was because my iTunes was skipping on every single song. They said they fixed that problem but they didn't and they dented and scratched the top of my computer. So I took it in to get the dent fix.
The third time I took it in was 2 weeks ago because my computer wouldn't turn on. I pressed the power button and after a few minutes when it wasn't turning on I just took a nap because it was right after girls camp. Then an hour later when I woke up it still hadn't turned on. Then I turned it off and turned it back on again and it still wasn't on after an hour. I took it into the store the next day. My computer was there for a week and I had to go in to buy an external hard drive so they could transfer all of my stuff onto it. They put in a new hard drive and new RAM. I got it back and everything seemed fine until nothing from my external hard drive would load onto my new hard drive. I tried everything to get my files back but nothing worked. So I took my computer in one more time. We asked for the manager only to find out that the manager knew nothing about computers. Then a guy with some sense came out and said he was going to look at it one more time. He was able to get most of my photos back but not all of them. I've spent the last 6 hours trying to get stuff loaded back onto my computer. I've been taking photos off of facebook which you have to do one by one so that took forever and now I've been transferring songs from my CDs. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Long story short, when you buy a computer for $1600, don't expect it to be any better than a $400 one.

I'm Back

So I didn't die or anything. I've just been terribly busy since my last post. With AP tests, finals, final projects, the ACT and camps for 3 weeks in a row it can get kind of hectic. All of those things went really well though. I did work my butt off for them so they had to go well. I am very happy with all my scores on all the things relating to school and as for the camps, Princess camp and Boys camp were crazy but Girls camp was really fun. All the girls in my group at girls camp were really sweet. I had Beehives and my co-conselors were Lydia, Haleigh and Julie. We had a lot of fun preparing and the lessons went great! Also we got the best counselor cabin. We had AC and a huge space in the middle of our bunks. PARTAY!!! It was really fun being a counselor and I wish we had stake camp again next year so I could be counselor again. It was such a great experience! I hope that one day I can be an EFY counselor!
