Boring Dreams?

The other day I woke up, not because I was rested or ready to wake up, but because my dream was so boring. haha. That's right, my dream was so boring that it woke me up. It also seemed to be on repeat. It was something about my biology class. I think I was trying to figure a problem out on a test, one of the phases of mitosis...but couldn't remember it...boring.

Sniper

Last night I had a dream that I was a sniper. I was assigned to take down this woman at this little party thing. My whole family was there and they knew what was going on and no one even seemed to really care. It was just like it was a normal part of life. haha awesome. I camped out in this upstairs area over looking the whole party/convention thing and there was a circle window that I shot through. After I completed my mission, I packed up my gun and went to put it in my car. On my way to the car, my brother Matt, ran into me and asked me how it went. I said, "got it done" and then he got in the car and said, "i'm just going to take a little nap here." and I went and got the rest of the family. good one subconscious. my dreams had been getting a little boring, so it was nice of my brain to step it up last night.

WIld Montana Skies

This last weekend I went up to very northern Montana to check out an internship on a cattle ranch. It is awesome! It's a 15,000 acre ranch with about 500 head of cattle. It is very isolated; the closet town is Shelby and it's about 30 min from the Canadian border. The manager is an awesome 80 year old guy named Bob. I would be staying in a sweet house that is on the ranch.

I drove up with two girls and we stayed at one of the girls grandparents house in Helena. It was a sweet house and this is the view outside of their window.

My responsibilities on the ranch would include typical ranch stuff: fixing fences, fixing the barn, farming, herding the cattle, brandings, etc. I am so excited and hope that everything works out! It's too good to be true. It will also be really good experience and I am excited to learn so much more about cattle ranching. Also, Montana is beautiful.

It made me so happy to be able to sit by a cozy fire and fall asleep with its warming rays. So cozy and awesome. We were also fed amazing Philippine food. Delicious! It was a trip well worth all of the driving! I'm glad I went and checked it out.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom (yesterday)! You are the greatest mom of all time! I love you so so so so so much! You are a great example to me and I appreciate everything you do for me and all that you have taught me. Love you!

This is an awesome picture...just saying. haha I would have posted this yesterday, but it was the craziest day of all time. But I got my huge project done! Presentation presented! Homework completed!

dreaming in song

Sometimes I wake up with a random song blaring in my heard. Am I the only one that this happens too? I wonder if I have soundtracks in my dream...

Anyways yesterdays song was "For the longest time" by Billy Joel.

Awesome.

First time for everything

If I had to label yesterday it would be the day of new adventures and first time things. Here are all the new things I did:

1) I went to my first swim meet (two of my roommates are on the swim team - they are amazing. It made me wish I could swim better. Maybe I will have to go practice.)

2) I watched my first wrestling match (this kid Sean, who is always over studying with my roommate, is on the wrestling team.)

3) I went latin dancing for the first time - lots of fun!

4) I had Abuelitas, which is this fancy hot chocolate and you dip french bread into it and it was soooo delicious. (or del-yummy) as they say.

What a day full of new adventures. It was a great day and I was so happy but also exhausted at the end of the day. I love days like that. I also went running and lifted weights. A good day all around.

More free food? Ok

Yesterday I went to a pre-vet meeting and learned about Ross University, which is a vet school in the Caribbean. Awesome. But more importantly I got free pizza!

Today I made a stop in the MC and received free popcorn from the outdoor adventure club! I should participate in more outdoor activities. They have some good ones for the winter such as: night skiing, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, ice fishing, air boarding, and a carriage ride and dinner and so much more. They all sound so fun, but now I need to find someone to go with me on these adventures...tricky...
