I Like It, I Love It, I Want Some More of It

So I have been thinking a lot lately that before I die(or they die...whichever comes first) I WILL see in concert:

1. George Strait

2. Tim McGraw

3. Kenny Chesney

George and Kenny are both coming to SLC in July and I want to go really bad obviously, just not bad enough to spend my entire savings on tickets. But they'll come again. I have been making my share of calls to the radio stations hoping to win them though(because I can). I figure I might as well try, you never know. It's a very frustrating thing though. And sort of pathetic. Whatever.

But everytime when they do the contest where they say some lyrics and you tell them the name of the song I've gotten it right every time! Even when the actual contestant gets it wrong(which is most of the time...and they call themselves fans). Why can't I be the right caller?

"We all kinda went our seperate ways, but I swear it seems like yesterday."

"Living in Fast Forward!" (She said it with so much confidence.)

WRONG. Duh. "Keg in the Closet" lady!

Oh, and George Strait's new single, "Living for the Night" is amazing. And he co-wrote it!

Take this job and shove it

Sometimes I just wish I didn't have any choices and would just be told what I should do. Like right now would be good. Please.

Registration for classes at BYU is coming up and I'm trying to decide what direction I want to take major-wise. I know most people just take generals at first and then decide, but my goal is to graduate in less than the standard four years because of my AP credits and all. Isn't the goal of taking those tests and classes to save money in the long run? If I still take four years, then what money does that save? I'll feel like it was all a waste, and I have more than a year worth of credits.

I always thought it would be easy to decide, with my interest in broadcasting and recent internship at BYU Radio. Communications major, check. My internship made me realize it takes a lot more writing than I could have imagined. I don't hate writing, I just don't love it I guess. Job security/availability wouldn't be great, and I would have to go wherever the job was. I would also have to take all of the prerequisites(mostly writing) and do well before even getting in to the communications program. If I don't get in, those nine credits are down the toilet and it's back to the beginning.

If I don't want that, just choose something I do want right? Problem. I have read through the list of majors countless times and the only other thing that appeals to me in the least way is Physical Education. Random yes, and I always swore I would never be a teacher. But most of the majors I have no idea what I could do with it. I only think of regular jobs like a teacher. What kind of job could I get with a degree in Home and Family Living? I think that's my main problem.

I know I'm probably over-analyzing, but this is my future we're talking about!

Hopefully I'll marry into the money and never have to work...yep sounds good;)

Hook 'em Tarheels??

Ok...so I figured it's time to pull away from the sports for two seconds and try to write about some deeper subjects.
In a little over two months I'll be moving away the fifteen minutes down the road to attend the college of my dreams and I CAN'T WAIT! But amid all of this preparation, I can't help but be infatuated with going out of state on a real college adventure. Where might you ask? I think it would be so cool to attend:

1. University of Texas at Austin
2. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Would I ever actually go to those places? No.
Would I pay the $20,000+ a year it would cost for tuition? H no.
Would I even fit in? Not a chance.

I know it's crazy and don't even know why I've been thinking that, but I loved Texas so much when I went and also loved my trip back east. I guess it would be cool to see what it's like to live outside of Utah. And I'm in no way the anti-Utah type who can't wait to get out only to find out Utah really wasn't as bad as they thought. I love living here and wouldn't have it any other way. Sure, it's fun to go on vacation, but if I did happen to go out of state for college I know I probably wouldn't like it as much as I thought I would. Then again, maybe I would.

All that matters is I am now a cougar and will be loving life in the fall:)
