Oprah.Winfrey.

So, in honor of the Oprah Winfrey show ending I thought it appropriate to start watching the final shows leading to her goodbye. (Special Thanks to DVR) I honestly shed a tear or two in every episode this last week. If you know me, then you know I am not a big crier. The Surprise Spectacular shows this last Monday and Tuesday especially got me. Today when she walked out and the whole audience and crew were lined up just clapping I seriously could not control myself. If anyone would have walked in, you would have thought I found out that my mom had just died, therefore making me an orphan child. Not kidding folks. I think that it was especially emotional for me because I have always dreamed of being Oprah. That right there is my dream! I am going into broadcast journalism and my dream is to really go somewhere with this degree that I am earning. Oprah did, so why can't I? I may dream too big, but what the heck you only live once. They have outlined her career and it only gave me hope. She started out as a small town broadcaster and kept climbing the ladder. Let's just say I have been bitten by the Dream Bug and I feel like running turbo into this big world. I love ya Oprah. Thanks for the inspiration girlfriend.

Just some quotes I found on my new love... Pinterest. I am obsessed.
Watch out world here I come :)

Random Thinkings.

Today I am full of random thoughts, and I feel like writing so what do you know? I'm blogging.

First, running in the rain is simply... I cant think of an appropriate word to go there but its good folks. I think starting my day off like this is where all of these random thoughts are flooding in from. I had to cut it short, for the comcast cable man was soon to arrive to my house to do things that 2 ladies can't, but 1 man can. I tried, I really truly did but to my dismay he had to come and pretty much plug one thing to the other. He literally laughed when I told him what we needed done. Awkward. I'm sitting here like what? this is serious business. My shows aren't recording and this is a very big problemo.

Thought number 2, driving past Little Cesar Pizza has changed my life forever. How great are those dancers that hold the signs? You couldn't pay me money to get out there and drop it like its hot, but all of their dancers get jiggy wit it, and I must say they provide me with on sight entertainment. I need to give a shout out to my favorite dancer there on State Street in Provo. She always has a smile from ear to ear and waves at everyone. You go girl.

How good are Baked Cheetos. I can never buy them for myself but when I visit my Mothers house she always has a bag waiting for me. They are absolutely delicious. I forgot how good they were until I tried a few and licked my fingers at the end. WOW. Dangerous. If you ever need a little cheat minute try those babies. Thank me later.

So, I deleted my Facebook a couple weeks ago. I never really was a big facebooker but I surprised myself at the sudden urges I would get. Was I addicted without even knowing? Its possible but it has been so refreshing just living my life and not living through others. This is not always the case and Its probably just me. I tend to look at other peoples lives and realize... Geez I'm not married, I'm not graduating from college a whole year or two early, or I didn't go to that latest concert or something. Then I would find myself feeling really lame. For what reason I have no idea. All I do know is that is perfectly okay to not have taken those next steps in my life. Someday, but not today, and probably not tomorrow.

I think I am going to the University of Utah. There I said it. My Dad is probably going to roll over in his grave, but just so you know Pops I am going just for the education. I promise I won't affiliate with the athletics there in any sort of way. So that's that. I am heading there in the fall PROBABLY, its not for sure but that is what it is looking like.

Last, but certainly not least I know I am 2 days late, but I just wanted to publicly thank my Mom for being such an amazing Mother to me. She has dealt with her share have trials, little did she know the caboose would be giving her a run for her money. She never fails to be there for me even when I try to push her out and act like adult. She knows me better, and knows I will need her. I always will need MY mom. She is one fine lady. I love you mom :) You rock my socks.
Disclaimer: Photo was taken awhile ago, and I was extra cheese ball that day.

That's all for today.

Stats SChmats

3 Words Friends...
I PASSED STATISTICS!!!!
Math has never come easy to me, never has been my favorite, and it certainly has caused me very much anxiety throughout my career as a student. Today I started my day off with the biggest pit in my stomach. I couldn't sleep last night as visions of stats equations, and story problems danced in my head. I re-read my study guides once more before I entered that horrible smelling/looking testing center. I may or may not have cried on my way to take this test because alot is riding on whether I pass this test. MY future people. The test took my roughly 2 hours and 15 minutes. By the end of the test my stomach was growling so bad it sounded like a thunder storm in this dead silent room. I had 20 questions left and I was trying so hard not to laugh at the noises my stomach was making. People were probably wondering why I didn't come on a full stomach, but to be perfectly honest I really truly thought any food would have made me blow chunks. Excuse the graphic nature of that last statement. Anyway long story short I have never been so excited to look at a sheet of paper deciding my future. Stats was a bit of a challenge but I am so glad I got it over with. I will never have to take another math class as long as I live. Here comes my next adventure whatever that may be!!!!                                                   
See you never stats.
Love, Chels
