Crocheting

So a couple months ago in Zeta we learned how to crochet these really cute cute scarfs. The red one is what they are suppose to look like and the purple one is the one I made. I think that I used the wrong kind of yarn on mine. Next time I make one I will get the right kind of yarn and it should look much better. I probably won't do another one until it is closer to  winter.

I have crocheted before. My grandma use to have me crochet when I said that bored when I would visit her in the summer. So learning how to crochet this scarf was really easy for my. I really enjoyed crocheting and don't know exactly why I stopped. I might have needed a break or I may not have had time. I realized while I was working on this scarf  that I missed crocheting and crocheting really helped me relax.

This last year of school was really hard for me. I had to take a lot of really hard classes and it really stressed me out. Toward the end of the year I realized that I needed away to relax and the crocheting was the best way to do it. So I went out and bought a pattern for a baby blanket and yarn. Then whenever I would feel like I just couldn't handle studying anymore I would take a break and crochet a row or two of my blanket. I got so that I was pretty fast. This meant that the breaks I was taking from studying weren't that long and that my new hobby wasn't taking that much time away from school work. This was a really great thing for me.

Well last week I finished my first baby blanket. It's not perfect but I learned a lot while making it and I think that the next project that I do will be much better because of it. I am really proud of this blanket and can't wait to use with my children in the future.

Utah

I have gone to the University of Utah for the past three years and I have loved every minute of it. I love my school and I think that it is the best school in the world. Yes I know that there are many who will disagree with me but this is my post. I love my school so much that I tend to get offended when anyone says anything bad about it, but I also get incredibly excited when anything good happen to my school. Something really great happened today.

Are you ready to here what it is?!?

The University of Utah was invited into the Pac 10 conference and today we excepted that invitation! This means great things for our athletic program and for our school. I am so proud of all out athletes who worked so hard, and for all our coaches. I am excited to see this change take place. GO UTES!!

Summer

So I think that this blog is mostly going to be away to keep track of things that happen in my life, but you are Welcome to read it.

I love summer for many reasons here are just a couple. I love that the sun is out and that I can just sit outside and be warm. I love that I have time to do things that I love like reading, hanging out with friends, watching movies, and other things like that. I love that I don't feel the stress of school. I love the smell. Summer has a wonderful smell. It smells like freshly gut grass and barbeque's. I love the holidays that we have in summer. There is a different feeling to those holidays, they are more laid back and it doesn't take as much preparation for them. Summer holidays are just a time to relax.

As much as I love the summer I know that as soon as it is time for school to start up again I will be just as excited for that as I was for summer.
