how do you do it?

The term is over. Weird. Those six weeks went by too too fast. This term started too soon after the semester and was over before I even got a chance to get into it. It was so so nice to go home for the break in between Winter and Spring. The end of Winter was pretty horrid. But I got through it. It was also so so nice to return to Hawaii and the splendid weather (minus the rain) that we've been having (especially compared to Utah weather). The end of this term was pretty horrid too. But I got through it with a little help from my friends (ahem. Ariel). What would we do without each other? Summer term starts next week. I'm looking forward to a few days of respite before I jump back into it. My schedule is super manageable and I'm moving into a new house, which should be exciting considering I've lived in this one for about nine months. I'm ready for a change.

Not much has been happening in my life lately--hence, my lack of blogging. I never take pictures, and I hate it when other people don't include pictures in their blog, so I hate it when I don't have pictures, but oh well. My life is pretty much consumed with school and hanging out around my house and the beach with lovely people like my roommates (who are both leaving within 24 hours) and Ariel. Ariel and I have been spending mucho time together lately. We were recently involved in the writing and filming of a future feature film together, along with our great friend Jordan. Kidding about the feature. Serious about the film. "Understanding Critical Theory." It is 30 min long, creative, funny, witty and educational. Designed as an introduction to the average BYUH student on the basics of critical theory. A hefty project consisting of 40+ hours of effort, but decidedly better than a research paper. We do way too many of those. So, Sassure? We got him. Jacques Derrida? We're basically on a first-name basis. Arbitrary nature of the sign? Know what that means. Deconstruction? I can do it in my sleep. Freud? Still alive and well in the English department. My acting skills? Incredible.

Basically, we're feeling pretty intelligent after this project. Ask me anything. I'm a genius.
