I beg your forgiveness

I have been neglecting you, my dear readers, and for that I am truely sorry. Forgive me?
The reason I have not written a post in about two...no, I'm sorry, it was three weeks ago that I last posted--forshame!--but the reason for that is this: I have nothing of interest to say. My life, I'm very sad to say, has become a daily routine of looking at my computer dolefully and playing Farmville on Facebook. Once in a while, I read two or three chapters of my book (which is currently The Great Hunt, the second book in the Wheel of Time Series), but even that has not captured my interest as it should, now that I'm done with my first semester of college (Hurray for Ashley!). I'm afraid I'm boring.

BUT...I am here, at 1:09 a.m., to pull off that shroud of boredom and apathy, be cheerful and busy once more, and become the dedicated writer I promised I would be at the beginning of this blog.

This week was not boring, my friends. I just got home from a week long vacation (who doesn't love those?) with my sister, Heather, and her husband, Danny, who were so kind as to take me to California for a belated, second senior trip. It was wonderful! The weather was hot, but with ample cool breezes, we visited the Ronald Regan Presidential Library (which is a lot more exciting than it sounds), Heather and I visited the local zoo, where we were scared by bobcats and wolves, and I got to visit the Wildlife Hospital within the zoo (which made me ecstatic since I am planning to become a vetrinarian), and, of course, we all went to see that famous whale Shamu at SeaWorld. Other highlights included going to the Shakesperean Festival in Cedar City to see The Comedy of Errors (which was delightfull), and listening to Great Expectations on the way to California and New Moon on the way back from California. I would post pictures, but I'm afraid there are two problems with that: I don't have a card reader to download pictures from my camera to my computer (which is why I haven't put any pictures up from my trip to Paris and London--I will post about that as soon as I get a card reader!), and I did not bring my camera to California! You may boo and hiss as you like now.
California was wonderful, though, I would highly reccommend it as a vacationing spot (although half the world seems to have figured out that little tid bit), and even if you don't want to go to Disneyland and stand in lines all day (don't get me wrong, Disneyland is one of my favorite places on Earth, but it does get a bit tiring, standing in line all day), there are plenty of other things to do in the Golden State (see above list for a few ideas). I do firmly believe, however, that every person NEEDS to go to Disneyland at least once in their lifetime.

School starts again in two weeks, but I'm shaking things up a bit by applying for jobs. I've already had one offer in a sales position. Maybe I'll have fun stories about cranky (and hopefully a few crazy) people who answer my phone calls!
