The Garden

So my dad and John went out to Thanksgiving Point last year and bought flowers. He wasn't sure what colors he bought or where he planted the ones that he got from Thanksgiving Point. Slowly but surely the flowers started poping up. First the red ones did and we weren't sure that any of the other colors were going to bloom. But then all of a sudden all of these flowers started blooming. There are a lot out there that are still not quite bloomed. I thought the flowers were really pretty so I took pictures of them.

Graduation

I finally graduated from LDSBC. I never thought the day would come. It felt like I was in school forever. On Monday April 6 Grandma, Derek, and Aunt Marie came up. Aunt Marie had to come up to help watch Lexi. I spent Tuesday hanging out with Derek and Grandma. We ended up driving to Salt Lake to my school to sell my books back. Then on Wednesday I had to go to school for my last 2 classes. On Thursday we woke up and got ready to go up to Salt Lake. We got there early becasue we weren't sure how many people would attend the graduation and the building was small. While everyone went in to the Assembly Hall to find a seat I had to go into the Tabernacle to line up. I sat down there for a while before we even formally lined up and headed out. It was so boring sitting down there in the basement I didn't have any cell service so I couldn't call or text anyone. I talked to some of the girls I have classes with but we were all just bord. Finally at about 1:45 they announced that we needed to line up. We ended up going out the north doors and walked around the building so we could enter the north side of the Assembly Hall. As we were walking in the staff was outside cherring for us. We finally got to sit down. The graduation wasn't as long as I thought it would be. But it was boring and really hot inside because of all the people. I finally got up and walked across the stage to get my Fake diploma. I didn't even get a real diploma I have to wait 60 days for them to mail it to me. Finally it was over we went outside and took some pictures. All the design students stood by the fountain for them to take pictures of us. After taking pictures we drove to Sandy to eat dinner at Iggy's. It was Me, Mom, Dad, Justina, John, Steve, both grandma's, Aunt Marie, and Keri at my graduation and dinner. Kelly Kirkpatric made it to my graduation but didn't eat with us. It was fun and I was glad that my family could be there. Now I don't have school to worry about but now I have to find a job.

Portfolio Event

On April 2 was my portfolio event. I had to go up on April 1st to set everything up. Dad and John went up with me on Wednesday to help set up. We set up the display but it was so plain and needed something. I asked around to get others opinions. They suggested to go buy a plant for a center piece. After we got the display set up a little bit we went out to get mom for lunch. We then went looking for a place to buy plants for the display. It took forever. Then we went back to the school to put up the plants that we got. I also had to add the business card holder that we bought. We then went to Justina's house to get her to go eat dinner. We stopped at michaels to grab a few extra things to add to the display. We went to the resturant by Steves work and ate dinner. After we ate we went back up to the school to add the final touches. I had mom, dad, John, and Justina helping me. Then on Thursday we had to go back up at 5 for the portfolio event. Justina went with us. It was so boring. There were so many people in this tinny space. We only stayed long enough to hear who won what award. Of course I didn't win anything but wasn't expecting to. The people who won had these huge displays. Then on Friday I had to go up and pick everything up. Dad went with me to help take everything down. Over all it was a waste of time and effort. I got my grade back and the judges comments for my portfolio. The judges were mean. Half of them said good, nice things while the other half made mean comments. Over all I got a "B" on my portfolio. Deffinately not the grade I should have gotten with all the time and money I spent on putting it together.
