Living in Cedar City Update

I work a lot now! I feel busy almost all the time. I just looked up both Dixie State College, and Southern Utah University. I'm working on deciding which school I would like to go to. I think that at the moment, Dixie State offers more of the classes I'm interested in at a lower price. I'm curious about the teachers and if I will learn well under which teachers. I'm just not sure how to find out.
My job is good because it is transferable. I'm a hostess at Applebee's right now in Cedar City. There's also an Applebee's in St. George. The lucky thing is that one of my managers, Gary, works at both. I think that if I decide to go to St. George, I can keep my job, only in a different location and with different people.
I really want to go to school. I know what I want to do and I'm ready to learn. I don't want to wait too long. I also think I need a car. that way I won't be bothering Kari so much by constantly having her car at work.
This is really general at the moment, but I'll work on being more frequent with my posts.
I'm working on a little writing. It's mostly random scenes with all the same characters. Who knows, maybe it will turn itself into a book eventually.

Christmas and the Hook Book




I got Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr by Christopher Paolini for Christmas this year. I think its Amazing! I actually got Brisinger on Christmas Eve. Jerome had bought it for me for the gift exchange. At that point I turned to Matthew, and told him he was going to help me buy the rest of the series. He just rolled his eyes and said yeah, right and pretty much said I'd have to buy them on my own. I was thinking, that you have to have the full series, espescially if you have the last book. What's the point of buying only the last book? Well the next morning, I opened up a present, and It had both Eragon and Eldest in it. I was really excited. I read Brisinger first even though it's the last book. I had read the others before. I finished Brisingr really fast, and now I'm going to go back and read the whole series in order to refresh my memory. I love these books.
Oh, and in case you were wondering... That thing that lets me read Brisingr with out holding it, is the Hook Book that Matthew has made. I think it is awesome. I'm impressed that it is strong enough to hold a book as heavy as Brisingr. We attached the Hook Book to my bunk bed, the only problem is that there isn't much room to roll over at night. I can't leave it up and go to sleep. I have to take it down each night, or I knock the book off. Who knew I was so violent???
