At least you guys read them.

Tonight I closed with the lovely Dee. If you want to know how busy we were, just know that Dee fell asleep a grand total of three times during our shift. Quizno's is to me as molasses is to winter.

Sometimes I think Heavenly Father looks down at me from heaven and slaps his hand to his forehad, saying 'Oh Kenz...' He loves me--I have no doubt about that--but I bet there are times when He would just like to let me struggle in my own silly weaknesses, because I got myself in the mess in the first place. But I know it's also because of that love that He eventually pulls me out of the stormy seas which I'm in (because I capsized the boat) and asks, "What did you learn?"

Today at the pool a chubby kid with a water gun kept squirting kids with it, including Cal. Ellie drove him away every time he came near. Caleb said, "Well he was super rude." Ha!

Tonight when Caleb hugged mom goodnight he held on for a really long time. She said, "Okay, Cal.." to get him to let go. He said, "I just can't stop loving you!!"

TP, Kristine and I decided to go up to the grassy part where people were playing Frisbee. I got the brilliant idea to roll down the hill...which was fun 'til I stopped rolling, and then I was just nauseated. I used to have hill-rolling skills...when I was five. We went back to observing the Frisbee game after that along with some crazy-shaped clouds. Tessa and I always see the most random objects in the sky, but that's the fun part. We tried to get Grant to join in--he actually wasn't bad--but he thought his manatee cloud wasn't legit enough. I can't believe I'm actually writing in my journal about a manatee cloud.

Today Ellie said, "Kenzie, I want you to get married now!" Me: "Why?" Ellie: "Because I want you to be a mom!"

Mom wanted to go to the Sundance Outlet Store [while we were in Sugar House], and so Chels, myself, Ellie and Cal sat on the sidewalk by the road and played the alphabet game. Caleb helped Chelsea cheat; whenever she needed a letter, he'd just draw it on his Magna-Doodle. Honestly?! Pretty sure Ellie and Cal are the number one fans in Chelsea's Fan Club.

Today Alejandro and Angelica were talking about math. [Remember these are ten-year-olds]
Alejandro: Math is very easy.
Angelica: For you? For me, no is easy.
Alejandro: Well, I am very intelligent.

Is it weird that I just washed my feet with shampoo because my soap ran out and I don't wanna open a new one five days before I leave?
Is it weird that I wrote Chelsea a brain barf today for her letter?
Is it weird that the people I enjoy speaking Spanish with the most are children?
Is it weird that Alejandro answered every question I asked today with "poop"? Nah...he's a 10-year-old boy. Not strange at all.
Is it weird that I am counting down the number of times I have to use our shower? (down to four more!)
Is it weird that I wrote a journal entry composed entirely of rhetorical questions?

I reserve the right...
...to eat smoothies-in-a-bowl for breakfast. And to lick my lips when I do it, because it's ta-sty.
...to run on treadmills even when the weather's nice because everyone needs a little ESPN classic.
...to play the piano as loud as I can to drown out the voice majors doing drills.
...to file for a teacher I don't even know just so I can hear him rant about politics for an hour and a half. Funny.
...to shower at night so I can wake up with wavy hair.
...to wear my brown boots like everyone else at this school wears TOMS--every stinkin' day.
...to listen to a Phoenix album 3x in one day.
...to eat garlic with dinner every night since the semester started. Twilight fans stay away!
...to want to hike, fish, climb, and camp all summer instead of school. Sometimes you don't get everything you want.

I am really white (mom calls it “fair-skinned” to make me feel better). So when I sat out on the beach for 5 hours on Saturday, I got myself a lovely sunburn. That night I was having trouble walking because I was in so much pain. Hold on, is this a sunburn or is it a tumor?! Well, now my left thigh is swelling up pretty big, turning purple, and yeah, it kinda feels like a tumor. Final conclusion: sun poisoning is bad. I prefer being fair-skinned to being burned and super freckly and my face falling off because it is peeling. Gross.

When I arrived at the airport, Chels and Niki were waiting there with a banner! I sure did miss those girls…obviously they missed me too because I was only gone for 2 ½ days. People standing there waiting probably thought I was coming back from a long vacation or something. Nah, it was just a three day thing. No big.

In Spanish class, we sang “Viva España” for our opening…um…hymn. I think I laughed through most of it because half of the guys were off-key, half of them couldn’t get the right rhythm, and then the rest of them were singing with the “cecea” (Spanish lisp—those darn RM’s from Barth-e-lona!). Levi said it was probably the worst we’ve ever sounded (accurate…). People walking by the classroom were staring at us like we were a pack of half-crazed wolves howling at the moon. That’s probably what it sounded like… ¡Ay caramba!

This morning Chelsea and myself woke up at 5:30 so we could do everyone’s clean check for them. All of the credit for the idea should got to Chelsea, because she is awesome and always thinks of such things. Anyway, it definitely started my day off right because 1, selfless service has a way of making everything in your life better, 2, getting up early is always bomb-diggity because I get to have a good scripture study, a slow breakfast, and a DP [dance party] all before I walk out the door!

Laughing so hard over all of this. I love your journal, so will the angels.
OHHH the Angles love humorous writings which is exactly why they will all sit in a corner on a cloud and read your journals from cover to cover until they get in trouble because they should be sort through the more boring journals! This totally just brightened my day reading this! I super big heart you girl!!!
