Welcome to the real world Zoe.

Today it hit me. It hit me hard. Im not living the easy life anymore. This is the real deal. It scares me a little bit. I don't want to avoid reality, but living in Hawaii, I just had it so good. Very few worries and I just enjoyed myself and my friends company. So now I wonder...do I like that lifestyle more? Is it more fit for me? Did I make the wrong decision? Sitting here, its a little overwhelming, but then I think 'what if I were to stay in hawaii and think that that is real life? what kinda of crazy shock would I be in when I had to enter the real world after living there for 4 years?' I feel like I haven't even experienced everything yet and this is definitely going to be a learning and growing point in my life. I needed the experience of going to Hawaii because it helped me open up to people. It taught me about myself and what kind of friends I should have. It made me more confident in who I am and what I believe. Now, I have this experience of living in the real world, where things aren't just amazing all the time. I cant wake up from a nap and be in class the next minute anymore. I cant walk across the street everyday to get food that is already made for me. I cant take a 5 minute walk to a gorgeous beach and enjoy the scenery. Im cracking down to business ladies and gentlemen. I really hope that Im going to be able to handle such a big change in my life but Im definitely looking forward to the good that will come out of this.

On a less serious note. Today was a pretty good day. When my plane landed, I literally BOOOKED it through the airport to get to a different gate. My friend Matthew Child, who I met at OYA 3 years ago, was about to leave on a plane and we both really wanted to see each other! My plane landed at 10:20, his left at 10:40. So when I say I booked it....I booked it. Let me tell you, I have mastered airports thanks to Hawaii. Man, Im practically pro now. Anyway, so I got to see him for the first time in 3 years! We couldn't believe it! He's such a great guy. We only got to talk for a couple minutes but it was the most unreal, crazy couple minutes ever. He's about to go on a mission to Argentina! Alright, so he had to get on his plane so I went down and got my bags. Lindsay and Spencer picked me up and we ran a couple errands before we stopped by my new house. Luckily I was able to get in and met one of my new roommates. Her name is Natalie, but I don't know much else. All I did was drop my bags off then I went over to Lindsays' place. We sat around and talked for a while and then made some dinner and went to the movie theatre and saw Thor! Such a good movie. I honestly had no idea what it was about and never saw any previews for it. I was pleasantly surprised. Now, Im sitting on their couch, thinking about life. I think about life way too much. Thats probably why I get so worried about Hawaii vs. provo. But I chose Provo and Im not going to live with regrets because regret not good.

Overall: June 13th=success
