School is almost out! I have soo much to do before the end of the semester, but I think I can do it all! If I can count correctly, I have 12 more days of class until they are over!! And, I only have 1 or 2 finals after the last day of class so the semester and my college career (I say career because I have become a professional student) is ALMOST OVER!! I’m a little bit in denial that I am moving on and that I won’t be living in Provo forever, but I’m also excited to move on to the next thing whatever and wherever that is!
I asked the amazing and talented Jake Spurlock to take a picture of me to put in graduation announcements (which are so expensive by the way!) and he lived up to every expectation I had of his ability! He also took the family pictures we have from Thanksgiving in Arizona. Here’s a graduation pictures of yours truly for your enjoyment:




I’m still not sure what I’m doing after graduation, but that day is soon approaching, so I’ll let you know in a month when I graduate
I also decided that I’m not done with my Provo experience because there are a few things I have yet to do. One of those things was go to the Festival of Colors, which was more than I had imagined! It’s at an Indian temple in Spanish Fork and if I understand right it’s a celebration of good over evil because of a historical event where of doing so. I went with 2 friends and we bought a few bags of very colorful chalk and waited for the right moment to break open our bags and get into a chalk fight. Sound crazy? It was!! The first throw on me went straight to my face and clumped in my eye and my mouth! There was so much chalk in my eye that I could feel the powder in there, and my eye started watering so I couldn’t see to throw some chalk back! The chalk ended up dying my contact pink, which I thought was pretty cool! While I was trying to get my second bag open, Torey (my friend) said that the chalk seemed to be in her mouth. The second after she said that I got my bag open and tried to throw it on her and half the bag ended up in her mouth! Haha, sorry Torey
We timed everything just right to get there in time and leave in time to miss all the traffic. Some friends of mine left 15 minutes after and didn’t make it! And another friend left 10 minutes after we did and got stuck behind a huge accident!
On that note, here are some pictures to show the fun:



Even after 2 showers half of my hair is STILL PINK!! I also dyed our shower pink… oops! I hope that comes out before management finds out!
The color festival freaking rocked huh? Who knew that yelling hare krishna over and over again with scented and colored chalk could be so entertaining?! Too bad we didn’t run into you
That was on my to-do list, as well. I even flew back a few hours earlier from California to make it in time for it, and I still didn’t make it in time for the chalk throwing. Luckily, some people still had bags of chalk that they so kindly covered me with. So awesome.
Your pictures are very cute. You look beautiful. I went to the festival of colors a few years ago and it was awesome. I am glad you got to do it before leaving Provo.
I found out about the tub. Count on being in trouble next time I see you.
I really really like those pictures of you. I think the third is my favorite. Everything about graduation is expensive. Which is partly why I didn’t do any of it:) Ha ha. I’m pretty sure my mom’s still sad I didn’t even walk… but all I care about is being done with the degree. It looks like you guys had TONS of fun. Go pink!
