Oh hello, Summer! I've missed you.

So here I am, the summer has begun and I have nothing to do! I find myself doing a lot of cleaning to organize all of my stuff back into my room (I have a lot of stuff that I didn't realize I had) and spending an amazing amount of time watching One Tree Hill :).  But it's been good! I wouldn't have it any other way because the last little bit of the semester was stressful! I needed to keep a 3.6 GPA in order to keep my scholarship, and I had a 3.57 so I was trying desperately to get it up by .03, and guess what! I failed :( (i didn't literally fail a class, just failed at getting the .03 points to get my GPA up). I failed by .01. I was SO CLOSE and yet, SO FAR. :(. I currently have a 3.59, which is bad news considering my scholarship, but still good news because a 3.5 is a competitive GPA to get into the Dietetics programs at USU. 
I am super excited for this summer! Even though currently I am not doing anything with my life, the rest of the summer will be completely different than this week. I am the Outdoor Skills Director at Bear Lake Aquatics Base (BLAB) which is a Scout Camp! It will be a completely different experience for me and I am very excited to learn how to be a leader, and deal with different types of people, and to spend my summer at Bear Lake! I am very nervous because I don't know a whole lot about scouting, and I don't know what exactly I am in charge of, but the good news is that there is a overnight training tonight for the whole staff so I will be able to meet my staff! And we will go over a bunch of stuff that we need to know.  The other good/fun news is that in a week I get to go to Colorado for National Camp School! So I can learn more about my merit badges (orienteering, pioneering, wilderness survival, etc.) and that way I will be a lot more prepared for doing what I need to do, and knowing what I need to know! So I am excited for this opportunity! Also, my two brothers are also working at BLAB, so that will be really fun as well. 
These pictures are from a little bit ago ... but I am posting about them now because I am still getting used to blogging! 

The Saturday before Finals week, I went to the Military Ball with all of my cousins! The National Guard puts on the Ball, and my Uncle and Cousin are a part of the National Guard, so they got the idea to have all of the cousins take dates! Let me tell you, these dances are the most fun dances that I have ever been to.  The band plays, so it's live music that you dance to, and you can do swing and waltz, and all other sorts of dancing! This year, I went with my good friend Jeffrey Poole.  I went with him  once before in High School, and I wanted to go with him again because he is a very good dancer! As you can see, in the picture, I wore red TOMS and loved it! It was a very fun night!
