The Happiest Place on Earth…

…is NOT Disneyland as everyone presumes. But is actually Lagoon! Last Saturday was an eventful one. It started with the Summerfest. Mark and I walked around for a bit until it started raining, of course i didnt have a jacket After we left, we picked up free tickets to Lagoon and then went to Old Grist Mill for lunch before leaving Cache Valley for Lagoon. The weather was nice when we first arrived, but soon began to rain extensively throughout the day. We were soggy by the time it stopped around 7pm. But the good thing was that by that time, most of our fellow Lagoon-goers had left and so the lines to the coolest rides were short! it was the best. I wish I had taken my camera with me because Mark and I don’t have any good pictures together oh well.

I want to learn French.

I want to learn to speak French. It has always been a language that is interesting, yet complicated to me. In my humanities class, we are learning about the French culture, which is both fascinating and slightly disturbing, mostly because there values are so different from mine. The things they believe bring them the most happiness is very different from my point of view. But I would love to go to Paris and see the museums and architecture, observe the fashion, and especially experience the dining and the food. The French eat very well, but they eat small portions. Which makes an incredible amount of sense. I would rather pay for high quality delicious food that is a small amount, than receiving a lot of food on my plate that is mediocre and leaves me feeling sick and bloated. I hate that. Of course, it is up to me to choose how much to eat, but part of it is not filling your plate full, or else get a smaller plate. Anyway, I am really enjoying this class so far. It is kinda weird to learn about a people’s habits and beliefs that are so different from mine, but nonetheless, very fascinating.
I love to learn.

Logan Summers

This is my third summer here in Logan. I love it! The weather and the trees are the best. It can get pretty hot the end of June and July but I get used to it by august and september. I also love that it doesn’t snow here until about the end of november.
So far my summer has been great. Except for working so much that i have nightmares about work. But it has sorta died down a bit and i have been able to have more time to do homework and spend time with Mark.
I’m taking couple classes: Microeconomics 2010 and also Humanities (USU 1320). Micro is hard, more so because it is online, and i have a hard time motivating myself  to learn the concepts. The first couple days of humanities so far have been enjoyable. My professor is very knowledgeable. Her non-repetitive, extensive vocabulary and the clearness of her voice combine into most interesting lectures. I want to be able to have the intellect and speaking ability as she does.

I went to the doctor today because my wrist has been bothering me, i have tendonitis! no bueno…A month ago or so i had to go to the chiropractor because i hurt my neck on a blow-up jungle gym.
Hopefully i will be able to enjoy the rest of the summer pain free
