with today's onslaught of rain I figured it would be best to put away my sandals and go for a pair of shoes that would keep my toesies dry and warm. I found these super cute animal print sneakers for only $25. Praise the fashion gods. I was actually about to shell out $80 for Steve Madden sneaks...whew close one! shoes: Target jeans: American Eagle watch: Arvo ~hk

A week ago I made the decision to go speak to my bishop concerning the confusion and frustration that I had been feeling for the past week or so. I explained to him that I had felt the need to  come up here to Provo, for some reason unknown to myself, but now I was doubting my decision to move away for the summer. I had many unrealistic expectations that weren't met, so I was frustrated with my situation to say the least.

Anyways after dropping my Conversational Spanish class on the basis that I was the ONLY  non-returned missionary taking it, I decided to sign up for a Creative Writing course. I thought we'd be writing short stories, but to my surprise we're being forced to try our hand at poetry.
