Post on Garrett Allen's blog

So this is probably my last post, I am not big on blogging. Anyway this is what I left on Garrett Allen's blog. I agree with John on this. Your blog was intense and very true. I think that you have good points about life and how important people are. You should keep up the blogging. This is good stuff. Thanks!

Thanks Garrett!

Comment Eugenia Hernandez

I think that is all worked out. I commented on Eugenia's blog and now I am just waiting for her to accept the comment. Anyway this is just what I posted under one of her posts.
I was so excited while watching the election that night. I can't even tell you how moved I was when it was announced that Obama is the president elect to the United States of America. I got tears in my eyes and like many others let the power of the word "change" just sink in.
I felt that his speech was honest and bold. What a wonderful thing to have such a historic thing happen in my lifetime. This was my first time voting-it made me feel special knowing that the person I voted for won! I am so excited to see if he does well for America, we need him to be that president for our nation. Thank you to all those that vote and good luck Obama! I am rooting for you!

Thanks Eugenia.

Las Vegas

The major attractions in Las Vegas are the casinos. The most famous hotels are located on Las Vegas Boulevard, better known as the Las Vegas Strip. Many of these hotels carry thousands of rooms. There are, of course, large casino areas in these hotels as well. There are many hotel casinos in the city's downtown area as well, which was the original focal point of the city's gaming industry in its early days. Several large hotels and casinos are also located somewhat off the Strip but adjacent to it, as well as in the county around the city.
Just a few other interesting facts about Las Vegas-Gambling was legalized in the city on March 19, 1931.
On December 26, 1946, Bugsy Siegel opened the infamous Flamingo Hotel in Paradise on what would later become the Las Vegas Strip.
The Hoover Dam was completed on October 9, 1936 outside of Boulder City and above ground nuclear testing was conducted at the Nevada Test Site in Nye County from 1951 to 1962. This informations was taken from WIkipedia.

So something random about me, my boyfriend is back from Japan. We have been dating for almost 3 years now and recently have been talking about marriage. First of all this is so awkward I feel like a kid still. The other thought I had run through my head was running off to Vegas! There is my bit about that. I'm not interested in the big wedding, and that is only saying if we do. Who knows?

Antarctica

So I don't know very much about Antarctica and I would like to know more. The most I know is that it is really cold, not many people live there and it's the Continent located on the bottom of the Earth. I googled it to see what I could find and this is what came up.
"Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth. At the 3-kilometer (2 mi)-high Vostok Station in Antarctica, scientists recorded Earth's lowest temperature: −89 °C (−129 °F).[27] For comparison, this is 11 °C colder than subliming dry ice." This is found at this link.
Also according to the link above it says, "Antarctica has no permanent residents, but a number of governments maintain permanent research stations throughout the continent. The number of people conducting and supporting scientific research and other work on the continent and its nearby islands varies from about 1,000 in winter to about 5000 in the summer. Many of the stations are staffed year-round."
I just think that it would be a very pretty trip to see the wildlife that is almost untouched by humans. That is the main reason I want to visit there.

Project 3 website

I seem to be having troubles publishing my site, I have been trying for quite some time tonight. http://fileserver.art.utah.edu/~lyoung/project3/ doesn't seem to be working but I have dropped the domain in your dropbox. I will hopefully email you tomorrow before 8am to see if it was just that my internet hasn't been working right.

Hawaii

If I were to be completely honest about Hawaii I really only want to go for the warm weather. I have been to Hawaii a few times in my life with my family. The very first time we vacationed there I basically got a 3rd degree sunburn the first day and wasn't able to go outside the rest of the trip. I hate getting sunburned, and I get so sick, it's like my insides are cooked. I would be nice if I didn't sunburn so easily, I was wearing 50SPF sunblock.
Also another time that my family vacationed to Hawaii, which I would like to do again if I go is, traveling up to the top of a volcano. I cannot remember what it's called but I do have a picture of that time we did. I will include it in this blog.
I love beaches and bonfires at night time. Listening to music while laying out in the sun. Especially site seeing to places that are different from our lovely state of Utah.

Home

No holding back. This week has been something else for me. I am so done with just about everything that all I want to do lately is stay at home in my room under my covers inside my bed! I don's want to be anywhere else but in bed. I keep getting the worst news...which I know is like life but I am so sick of it.
I was planning on being accepted in to the bachelors of social work program here at the University of Utah this week. However, I did not get in. That is alright I will just apply for the fall of next year. It would have been really nice if I didn't have to reapply though.
All of that and the fact that I am sick. I do not feel good and traveling even right outside my bedroom door doesn't sound fun! I am pretty much done with the semester and my job. There is so much to do and so little time to get everything done.
Well now I am done venting about all of this, I have to get back to doing other homework.
