College at this point.

Hello from college everyone!!! Rock Springs is still a windy, rocky, barren, land of nothing. But I'm here now. So it's a windy, rocky, barren, land of me. Which isn't an improvement. So far college is a lot like high school. We started off orientation day with an assembly. It was just the incoming freshmen and new students, so we all fit into the theater. It was like every other assembly I'd ever seen. With student government skits and everything. They were sort of like "Here is college and here is what we want to tell you" skits. Which in high school is like "the bathrooms are here" and "don't worry, you *will* make friends." But in college it's like "Avoid date rape" and "Don't get an STD!" It was really...special. After that was done, we disperssed.We went to different classrooms depending on whatever color a sticker on your bag was. Mine was orange. So I went to the orange room. And there were two teachers in there. And they talked. Which was like high school when the counseling office comes into your english class and asks you what you want to do with your life and then they tell you what their 'hopes and dreams' for you are and you play stupid games. Yeah. We even played that game where they stick a famous person's name on your back and you have to ask questions to figure out who you are. I was Johnny Depp. I know. Awesome. Sort of. We played games from ten twenty till twelve twenty. It was a little to much inspirational modivation for me. I started tuning them out. Hmmm...i'm tired...and it's midnight. And I have class at eight. And auditions...so...night!

Burning city of FIRE!!! And God bless it.

Okay. St. George isn't currently burning and on fire. But this one time I was here, it was. There was a circle of burning wildfires all around the valley. And do you know why? Because it was so freaking hot. Like, seriously. The bushes and shrubs couldn't take it, so they just burst into flames. This is no laughing matter friends. It's hot. Outside that is. Everywhere else it's freezing! Every store has the AC up to full blast. We went to Iron Man this afternoon-awesome by the way-and I was freezing.

Can I just say how much I love the Olympics. Watching good, hardworking, American athletes representing our country to the world just makes me so proud to live in this wonderful, God-blessed country! As Rob pointed out on Tuesday, we are so lucky to be born here. Especially as members of the church. To be *born* LDS is an amazing thing, but to be born LDS in America is even more amazing. The freedoms and liberties we enjoy here can hardly be recognized by us, but those who look at us from other parts of the world can fully appreciate it.

Talking about America makes me think of politics. Which makes me thing of the Presidental race. Which makes me want to make a poll. Look for it on the sidebar. over there =>>>>

P.S. Leave your opinions and comments on the poll in comments on this post! I'm *VERY* interested.
