I don't have anything too huge to blog about, so I'm just going to throw out random things that don't really deserve their own blog post and I'll just word vomit the crap instead.

I can't even remember what I blogged about last year, so I don't remember if I blogged my feelings. I've definitely put blogging (this one specifically) on the back burner because I've been busy with work and school and I just want to be the very best because I want to be on my A game for law school. So needless to say, I've been stressing myself out a lot. And that means I take a bath, eat Oreos in the bath, and cry.
I'm a dream girl, I promise.
But in all seriousness, I'm turning into *that* person we all know who is starting to not have a social life because my life revolves around homework and turning that work into crisp clean A's/good grades. I've never gotten below a 3.5 GPA and while I'm not in danger of being lower than that at the moment, I'm just in the homestretch of college (I graduate in May) and I want to be sprinting to the finish line and not be running.
I'm a teacher for probably THE coolest bunch of first graders around, and I was thinking recently to myself one night before I went to bed "Hey Lily... do you really want to go to law school or do you want to stay being a teacher for adorable kids?" and that made me think about it from every which way. I had a great class of kids last year and I didn't think I would be able to have a class that was even cuter than them, and this class is just as cute. And I have no doubt that next year's will be cute as well.
Because you know, little kids are adorable and say the best things ever.
But do I really want to go to law school? I want to stay in Utah (or close to Utah) for law school, and I'm not saying I'm a shoe in or anything because who knows what could happen, but I have the numbers to go to the school at the University of Utah. It's pretty much my frontrunner school, with one in Arizona being my "fall back" option (and I've applied to a few other out of state) so it's not like I'm going to be far away.
And I'm not going to be both a teacher and go to law school at once. I don't even think that's even close to being possible. And even though it says online that each school I applied to did in fact receive my application, I still don't have to go. And there's always a chance that I won't be accepted anywhere. I could be waitlisted for all I know. So I'm really just weighing my options here.
So this weekend (meaning yesterday) I drove all the way across the state to St George so I could have a fun bridal shoot with some other people collabing. There was a woman who had a dress for the bride, there was going to be a photographer, and I was going to do hair and makeup. About halfway into the drive down I got a call from the photographer saying that she thought it was next weekend and was therefore out of town, leaving me completely screwed.
But luckily, I was going to be in a really scenic and beautiful location, and I never pass up an opportunity to take pictures of my own in scenic locations. So I thought "Hey, why don't you play the role of Supergirl today and do hair, makeup, and take the pictures. It's a really long shot, but you're pretty rad, Lil. I think you can do this."
And I did. I did all three just like Supergirl would. And it was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be. The couple was really understanding and had no problems with it and the girl was really adorable and fun and cute. And super photogenic.
I drove back home this morning where I'm here, sitting on the couch and watching an old Seahawks game that I had recorded on my DVR. I'm about to end this and do some laundry because tomorrow is Monday, and thus begins the start of a new work week.
But next week I have spring break again. So THAT'S exciting!
See ya!
