Goodbye Provo!
Well, it is my last day in Provo and I haven't had a day this bad since I moved here. Seriously! Let's start with last night thought... So my friend, Briana that I met while living in Rexburg came down from Salt Lake to spend some time with me before I leave. We talked while I packed and then went to dinner. While at dinner the song The Climb from the Hannah Montana Movie came on. I admitted I like the song and wanted to see the movie. I love kid's movies/ chick flicks. Get off my back! She admitted it too and I looked up the movie times. Were we really going to see The Hannah Montana movie? Yep yep yep! So the movie was actually really, really good! I cried... four times. So now that I was already emotional I called Kendra once I got home and had a emotional breakdown about leaving Provo. I have been here almost 2 years. My life is here now, it's weird to think I am leaving. I am leaving my house, my friends, I would say my job but I don't have one... I would also say school, but I don't have anymore school. But mainly I am leaving my friends. And I lost it. I was balling like a little baby. So I finish most of my packing last night and feel right to sleep. I woke up late today. Which I had a lot to do today so that was bad news. I needed to borrow Roach's car, I couldn't get a hold of her. Great! Then I tried to get on my laptop to check in online for my flight. My laptop wouldn't turn on. Perfect! Wow what a great start to an AWESOME day! (Sense the sarcasm?) So then I decided to check the mail. I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of my credit card, since I paid it off it was how I was moving to L.A..... well, still no credit card. So I called the company argued with them for a while and got no where. Perfect. Then I started moving my stuff. By this point I was beyond frustrated. I wanted to punch something. And I am not the violent type. So as I am walking down the stairs with an armful of stuff I trip and fall. Nice, smooth. Some Mexicans saw me and laughed. Sweet. I finish moving my stuff and I am pooped. I am so tired. I come back to the house get ready. Since I permed my hair it takes me like 20 minutes! Yay go me! So I drive to wal-mart. I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I have little to no money, I have so much to do, I didn't remember to leave out a shirt and everything is moved and gone. I have a toothbrush and a jacket left. So I know I can find some cute-ish/ cheap shirt at wal-mart right? On the way I call my daddy in deep desperation for a little loan of cash. Of course my Dad being the superhero he is saves my life and helps me out! So as I am talking to him my phone dies. As soon as I got to wal-mart I called him back, but not after trying to figure out how to use a payphone... they are complicated. It cost me $1! For 4 minutes of talk. Lame! So I find a shirt that is fairly cute and some other little things I needed. Go to check out and realize... I forgot my debit card! CRAP! I look into my purse and realize that I grabbed all my change I have been saving all year long. I counted it the other day and had $20, not too shabby. So I got to the self checkout so the machine can count my change. I start putting the nickels, quarters, pennies, and dimes into the machine. I ended up being $2 short, so I was frantically trying to search my purse for a few more quarters. And the lady behind me said, here sweetie, take this and hands me exactly what I needed! Awe! There are still nice people in this world willing to help out the poor and needy! I thank her and told her I forgot my debit card, I don't think she cared. I think she just wanted me to hurry. So as of right now... I am waiting for my last load to finish drying so I can pack it up, and then I just need to vacuum my room and wipe down the mirrors and counters. Then I am done. Seriously, Provo, why couldn't we have a pleasant goodbye. More of like a see ya later, if you will. But no! You had to go out big. Causing me a extremely stressful day. Well, I guess what doesn't kill me will only make me stronger. Well, that's it. I am off to L.A. I will hopefully be able to keep my blog up, but no promises. My goal is to take lots and lots of pictures. Wish me luck!
