Kumijaka!

It's officially summer! And by that I mean that the weather has finally made up it's mind to be sunny. I just recently made a trip to Utah to see my friend's wedding and had a great opportunity to snap some shots while I was there (hence the pictures on top). Their last name is Malovich, can you see it? I was trying to be creative :) We got into a FREE Modest Mouse concert. It was nuts! There was a gigantic line to get in so we hopped by fence and were on our merry way. It was super good, definitely worth being squished, smooshed, and stepped on haha. After we left we found out that there were 40,000 people there.

So one friend was just in Europe, one is studying abroad in Australia, one just got back from study abroad in Switzerland, one is going to China for humanitarian aid... I think this is telling me that I NEED TO GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY! I think I'd love to study abroad somewhere. With my major (currently) being elementary education, it'd be awesome to be able to visit another country and teach little kids, I love 'em.

I enrolled in two summer classes that are only 4 weeks long. I think that is the best idea ever. Granted, I may change my mind by next week when I'm super behind and cramming for a mid-term, but for right now it's super. I'm taking a biology class and some gender identity comparative literature class - both actually seemed interesting for the first day of class today so that was definitely a plus. We get to watch the movie 300 in my comp. lit. class because apparently it has some very good points in it that relate to our studies... uh huh, whatever, fine by me!

I got to see the Avett Brothers in concert up in Portland. They were awesome, the venue was awesome, the weather was awesome.... I don't think it could've been any better. Except maybe if the root beer floats weren't freakin' $6 for a teeny one! We got there about an hour and a half early to get a good spot and the line was an unbelievable like mile long to get in. However, we only had to wait in line for a couple minutes before it started moving. We got in, spread out our blanket, and napped in the sun until the show started.
