The Narrows

This last weekend I went to St. George to go to the reception for one of the girls I home taught last year.  She became a great friend, so Boman and I decided to travel four hours for it.  We ended up going to one of the most beautiful houses I have ever seen.  The landscaping outside was immaculate, with an amazing pool.  The water ran right over the edges and into a little gully that collected the water and pumped it right back into the pool.  It also had an enclosed hot tub attached that looked like a cave. 
After the reception we went over to a friends house to swim and sit in the hot tub.  It was a very relaxing and fun day.
Yesterday we woke up early and headed over to Zion National Park where we hiked The Narrows.  It was the best hike I have ever been on.  If you have ever been, I am sure you understand why.  If not, I'll explain.  This hike is relatively short (11 AM - 4 PM) and most of it is hiking through a river!  You switch back and forth from one side of the river to the other.  Some parts were even so deep I had to do a little swimming to continue forward.  It was beautiful as well!  Everything was so green and the canyon rocks were so colorful.  I just wished I would have known that it involved water so I could have used different shoes, but it was amazing!  I recommend this hike to anyone going to Zion National Park!

More stressed out than me?

So this week, for our last MCOM assignment, we were asked to find someone more stressed out than me, do something nice for them, and then blog about it.

            Finding someone more stressed out than me seemed nearly impossible until Friday when I had finished my assignments for school and finished my late night grad parties for work. 

So on Friday, I decided to take a few friends to Boondocks for a free night of fun.  When we got out of the go-karts (the first thing we did), I reminded everyone to check their pockets to make sure nothing was missing (lots of things are lost on the go-karts).  A few minutes later, a friend of mine, who we will call Caleb (because that is his real name), told me he lost his wallet.  At the end of the night he was really stressed about having to cancel credit cards, getting a new license, and losing his money.  So I helped him search the individual go-karts as well as the go-kart track with no luck.  After searching for about 20 minutes, we decided to head back to Provo.  I told him I would look at work the next day.  Well, long story short, the wallet was sitting on in my apartment the entire time.  It never left Provo!  Even with the chaos, however, it was a fun night.

So Little Sleep, So Little Time.

Another week has flown by and I feel like I am going to fall over.  This week I worked on Wednesday night until 3 am for American Fork High School's Senior All Night Party and then had class from 8 am - 12 pm.  I then had to take a grammar test, and go right back to work until 3 am again, but this time for Riverton High School's Senior Al Night Party!  I have not been able to catch up on sleep since I have a group project due this next week as well as an assignment that is supposed to take 10 hours to complete due on Thursday also!  This coming Tuesday and Wednesday I have two more late night parties to host and then my presentation and end-of-year assignment due Thursday.  Can anyone give me advice on how to have the most amount of energy on the smallest amount of sleep?  I'm dying here!
