no regrets.

Adjusting to real life is hard. First of all, adjusting after traveling is rough. The jet lag... The culture shock I got from Thailand... Working again... Paying bills... Blah. The jet lag killed me for like 2 weeks. I couldn't sleep at the right time! Also, the culture shock from Thailand carried over just a tad bit... I bowed whenever I said thank you for a few days but that wore off quickly. And sitting at work 8 hours again KILLED ME. I was sooooo antsy. That still hasn't wore off. Second of all, I had to adjust to graduated life. No one warns you about this! All they say is working 9-5 is hard to adjust to. But that's not even the worst of it. You have to find stuff to fill your time when you get home every day at 5pm. All of your friends are still students so they have homework and work and stuff after 5 so you have to find hobbies. Which is HARD. You can't play intramurals anymore which was the ONLY form of exercise that I ever got. So now I have to fin

I did it. I traveled. And it was an absolute BLAST. Holy crap. I learned so much it is slightly ridiculous. I didn't post about Thailand because I had no time to write it all out! But I did write it. It's just in list form.... and it wouldn't make sense to anyone but me. Which is unfortunate. Because Thailand was amazing. Maybe one day I'll write it all out... So I'll start with after Thailand. I flew to North Carolina from Thailand and I had layovers in Qatar and Germany. In Qatar, a stranger bought me pizza and a water. In Germany, I had to get searched. They tore my bag apart and did a body search. I was exhausted at this point so I just let it alllll happen with no emotion on my face. FINALLY I landed in North Carolina EARLY but customs seemed to be on their lunch break so we had to sit on the plane for an hour and wait. Then customs itself took 10 years but finally I was out. And I was able to use my phone again! So I called Jeffrey. And he came aro

July 6, 2014 Shanice made us get up at 7 so we could be out of the house when the Mitchell's got home at 8. She drove us to Caitlin's and we immediately passed out on the awful couches. We woke up to shower and after we showered and got ready, we started walking to the church. It was an hour esrly but we have had enough of the YSA members. Haha too much together time. I can't believe how rude they are to each other and how petty they are. They only care about themselves and it's sad! So we went to the church building and we ran into Tyra on our way so she drove us the rest of the way. She said that Thomas wanted her to give us his number so we could hang out this week. That will be nice because he's cool and he has a car and he's a local! All good things.  At the church building, I FaceTimed my mother and we just locked ourselves in the young women's room and hung out in there until sacrament meeting started. We sat in sacrament and Kristine, Luke's girl

June 25, 2014  Man sleeping in feels good. We woke up at like 10:30 and then we watched Crossroads. We made fun of Britney Spears the whole movie. Well the part of the movie we saw anyway. Luke turned up and was pretending to slit his wrists so we turned it off and packed our stuff up and headed out with him! We went to this shopping center and I decided to wear my safari hat because Luke hated it and he grabbed it off of my head and threw it into the weeds. Kins and I had to make a human chain link so that I could reach it and grab it. Fetcher. Finally I got it and so we went inside and went to eat at Waterbar and Grill. It was this steakhouse right by the port of Cairns and it was super pretty! It was the boat marina so we had the view of all of the boats ha Luke made me order Espatada because he said it's amazing and lunch was on him. Espatada is rump steak covered in red wine and chili sauce. It came with mash. It was brilliant as! So good. After we ate we went to the tourist s
