Australia

T-minus 11 days.

And I'm still planning.

hunger games.

I'm so obsessed.

Only 50 days until the movie comes out!

And guess what?! 

They posted a new trailer today.

 I was sitting alone in my room watching it. 

When it finished, I literally screamed out loud from excitement. 

Don't judge. 

:)

[if you're reading this in google reader, the embedded video isn't showing up! so come on over to my bog to watch the new trailer!!!]

I read all three books in a week and a half. 

I was also working two jobs-about 60 hours a week-at the time.

I dare you to tell me how you're more obsessed than me. 

Or just tell me you'll join me in my same level of obsessive-ness! 

i just have to make it through finals.

three more days and then freedom…for a week.

And that freedom is going to be glorious. So many things to do. So many people to see.

My two awesome cousins are coming out. I hooked them up with sweet buddy passes on delta. Kendall was out here partying it up with me last year, and Kimmy has just been the-best-cousin-ever-slash-sister-I-never-had.

         

                      

                      then...

now!

So friends that are staying in P-town, be ready for a party.

In addition to these great people, my mom and two little brothers are also coming out! I think they are staying an hour away though, so who knows when I’ll see them.

Then, on Saturday is the HUTCHING FAMILY REUNION! Woo-hoo! Watch out Utah, the Hutch’s are here.

Check us out in the early 90’s. We be hot. (i’m that little girl in the front row wearing yellow).

so this is the new year.

2010. Welcome.

This year is going to be a great one, I already know it. Here are just a few great things that I have to look forward to (and yes, i did steal this idea from my roomie, thanks Leah!):

1. Arts Semester

I started the actual program for my major (Elementary Education with an Early Childhood Emphasis) this semester and I get to take awesome classes like dance and drama. its going to be so much fun!

2. Washington D.C.

My brother and sister-in-law live there, so a trip sometime this year is gonna happen.

3. Paris.

My roommates and I are going to Paris, as soon as I get a job (anyone know of any openings?! I’m desperate!).

4. Ghana

This summer I am going to teach in an underprivileged preschool in Ghana. I’ll be living with a native and working (without pay) for 5 weeks, then my family is going to come and we’re going to do some sight-seeing.

5. The gap between my best friend and I is going to shrink from one thousand miles to ZERO. :)

And although I will be doing a lot of travelling this year, I still feel like these lyrics are currently my theme song. If they were true I could do so much more.

"I wish the world was flat like the old days

Then I could travel just by folding a map

No more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways

There'd be no distance that can hold us back"
