Day 13

Today i am grateful for: my abundance of coats and jackets and winterwear. Since the weather dropped like 60 degrees overnight, I find that I have not quite adjusted to the newly freezing temperatures. Thankfully, I have like 6 coats, several jackets and sweatshirts, and 4 sweaters, along with a ton of scarves and a pair of gloves. Winter sucks because it is so cold, but it also rocks because the winter clothes are the better clothes.

Day 12

I am just not good at this, but at least I am trying.

Yesterday I was thankful for: BYU. I just really love this school. All the professors are really nice and understanding and you can just relate to them on a much closer level. There is also a really fun variety of classes to take, and there are cool people, etc. I am just really grateful that I got into BYU and that I am here, and that I am doing so much better than I was fall of last year.

Day 11

Today I am grateful for: my car. I am so happy to have my own car at college; it is just awesome. With my (very cute orange) car, I can take impromptu trips to Salt Lake, or the mall, or anywhere else I choose. Despite having to pay for gas and occasionally transport people around, having my own car to get about in is fabulous.

Day 10

I realized at like one this morning that I forgot to do my blog post for the 10th. Here ya go:

Today I am thankful for: the mall. The mall is possibly the greatest creation that anyone has ever created. I just love that there are lots of stores all in one location so as to create ease and comfort whilst spending all of your money. Also, malls are just super fun around Christmas (and that was not sarcastic); there is so much holiday cheer, and you can be excused for spending all of your money because you can either be buying lots of presents for other people, or you can pretend they are for other people.

Weather

Well, today I was going to be thankful for: a really abnormally warm fall...but that is now over and extinct. Yesterday it was like 70, and today it is snowing buckets. So, in conclusion, I was very grateful for the past two months being mid 50s and 60s, and I am not happy about the snow.

This has been a weather broadcast by Melanie.

The Grocery Store

Today guess what I am thankful for: the gro-cer-y store. Man, that place is just awesome. I go to Smith's, and it supplies most of my nutritional needs...and by that I mean I buy lots of stuff there. Today, for instance, I bought more croissants, hand soap, lunchmeat, soda, and lemon bread (I had planned on eating some canned peaches that I already owned later too, so don't worry). I also love that Smith's is quite close (it's like a 7 minute drive, but a 45 minute walk so that sucks) and that I can go there often to satisfy my latest craving.

Day 7

Today I am thankful for: art and creativity. What would this world be like without Van Gogh or Oscar de la Renta or Michael Jackson? Life would really suck if there weren't beautiful things to brighten up the day. I am so glad for the creativity and inspiration of all those cool famous people, and I am grateful for my own sense of creativity. I may not be the best artist, but I can watercolor the heck out of a blank sheet of paper. I will probably do a more specific post about a specific set or creative person, but for now just now that I am grateful for colorful, beautiful things to look at and listen to.
