So SUU Juniper Housing was shut down this last week(Nov. 6th) , and a lot of the students that were living there were moved into Stratford Hotel (this hotel has been turned into temporary housing till the end of the semester.) This was the hotel I was working at. So all the workers here were let go for the next 6 weeks. I found this out last Saturday (my last day of work for the next 6 weeks.)
(The picture on the side ignore the January)
On Monday it snowed all day and since I had time and was slightly in a gray color mood, I spent a lot of time writting letters to my two sisters on missions and three of my friends that are also on missions, then I addressed the envolopes and noticed how boring, white and plain the backs were, so I doodeled and wrote them messages until there was no visible whiteness on the backs of the envolopes. (incase you didn't know this about me I love to doodle, it makes me happy!) After doing this my mood had improved a Lot! I went outside to walk my little sister's dog that I am babysitting, and realized that it was snowing perfect packing snow. I finished the walk. And immeaditely started on a snowgirl. :D I got the body done (with some ivy trimming on the dress.) was doing the last touches on the face and the head fell off and crumbled into unrecognizableness. :( I must have made a noise (imagine a drawn out "NOOOOOOOO!" because my roommate's face suddenly appeared in the window. I did big motion sign language to tell her what had caused the cry that she heard through the window. I did the action like I was slitting a troat and then fell back, and through up my hands in defeat, and acted like I was wiping away tears. She understood everything I said. And I hope you were able to picture it, and not get confused. I then came inside and left my snowgirl headless.
You know this snowfall was actually such a blessing, because I just needed to do something childish, and create something. This was a very healing day especially after losing my job on Saturday.
You know another blessing about going to the farm before this year of college... I learned a lot about life and death, so when I lost this job for the next 6 weeks I didn't become a weeping willow or angrey. In fact my roommates said they never would have guessed that this situation had happened. I was talking with one of my roommates last night and this occured to me that losing my job was kind of like the dissipointment and saddness I discovered when a small animal had died on the farm, but sometimes you just have to accept it and keep moving on, because there is more life to be found. Don't dwell on the sad in life.
On Wednesday I bought myself a laptop. I am going to start leladelling again.
Also on Wednesday I decorated a t-shirt with my roommate DeNay Osburn and a good friend Kim (I can't remember her last name.) We bought some plain white t-shirts at Walmart and then drew a fermoda sign on it (the musical sign that says to hold the note longer) and wrote under it "Hold Me..." on the back we wrote "With Your ("Whole" note) Heart" Then we put accents of glitter on and I drew a little lellagirl and lellaboy underneath holding hands. ;)
and then we did something scary... we wore them to institute the next day. AHHHHHHH!
Don't worry nobody hugged me, and the only people who really reacted was the institute teachers.
I think this is all I have to write about at this time. But now that I have a computer I will be a more consistant blogger. :)
