Packing for college!

I'm packing for college! It's so crazy to think that in less than a week I'll be up in Utah and I won't come back until break.
I've realized 2 things while packing for college...
1. There is way too many things that I need to pack.
2. I hope I'm not the only one who is bringing this much.
This summer has gone by way too quickly... I have hardly hung out with my friends.
I've pretty much been doing nothing this whole summer. I just watch TV or go on the internet!
So boring! I swear if I ever do this during summer again I'm a loser. I love relaxing but I'm not going to see like half my friends for a very long time and I should have taken advantage of that time.
Well I hope I learn to be more social...

I got a new computer

So I got a new laptop! It is sooo pretty. Its a 15.5" HP laptop and it came with microsoft office.  Which is awesome so I don't have to buy any software.  I'm so excited to use it all the time now. No more waiting for my turn on the computer and now I have the freedom to be on the computer for as long as I want.  

Its cool cause it has a fingerprint scanner so I can sign in with my fingerprint on multiple websites etc.  Its a beautiful thing to have my own computer.  I can use it for all my school work and whatnot.  I just love it! 

I drove for the first time today

I drove for the first time today... kinda nerve racking.
I've had my permit for 2 weeks and this is the first time I've driven.  It's so sad I'm officially an adult and I just now started driving. 
My dad gave me my first lesson.  We went to my high school's parking lot and since it was empty I just drove around for like 30 minutes.  I pretended the different parking slots were stop signs, practiced turning, practiced stopping, practiced using my blinker.... Ugh its kinda crazy how much there is to know about driving.  I cant believe it. I just barely did anything.... I can't even imagine driving on the actual streets soon. I mean like how am I supposed to look all around me and still drive forward lol. Plus the stupid brake and gas pedals are way more sensitive than I thought they would be.  
I guess its not that bad and I was only driving for a few minutes and at a max of 15 mph, but once I get the hang of it (hopefully sooner rather than later) than it will be easy as pie!

So I decided to create a blog

So I decided to create a blog because a couple of my friends have one and it seems like a good way to share my thoughts. It'll pretty much be like my public journal.
Any ways, I spent time at my cousins' last week.  My little sisters went to our church's girls' camp, my dad was gone half the week and my mom and brother are in DC.  I didn't want to spend last week alone so that is why I decided to go to my cousins.
On Sunday when I got there we just hung out and stuff.  That night I had to register for classes at BYU!
The problem with that was, their computer wasn't working when it was time for me to register... good thing my other cousins live on the same street... so I was saved cause I used their computer instead.  I'm now a registered student at BYU.  I'm so excited!
The rest of the week I pretty much just hung out, went to the beach and went to a dodgers game!

It was fun and eventful.
