First Night Back in Utah

I left Ketchikan this morning.  It was kinda bittersweet.  I'm gonna miss it, but I'm excited to be back in Utah too.  I'm excited for this semester, I'm ready for it.  I can just feel it's going to be good if I let it be.
So first things first to my day.  I woke up at 6:45 and got ready, grabbed a bagel (courtesy of Mom) and headed off with my baggage.  Then we rode the 7:45 ferry to the airport and checked in.  Mom and Dad came through security with me and flew to Seattle with me, how sweet of them I know! Well yes it's sweet but they were on their way to California to spend some time with my Grandparents.  But it was lovely having their company :) I had the Mexican place in the Seattle Airport for lunch and at the moment I'm drawing a blank on what it's called but it's between the Italian place and Makki of Japan (or however you spell that).  I got a burrito (that I haven't tried before-Resolution in action!) and some water.  Then I bought a new ring at Fireworks that says "Love you to the moon and back" P.S. this is also when I found out that my plane kept getting delayed....So we went and got smoothies in the C gates at Freshens (I think that's what it's called).  I got Strawberry Kiwi since I always get the Mango one (resolution again!)  Since my plane still had lots of time till departure I rode with the parentals to their gate and sat with them till they boarded.  Mom taught me how to cast off with knitting since I had already started and I officially made my first creation! A hot pad (RESOLUTION!) and now I'm working on a scarf, or at least something that I hope will resemble a scarf when I'm done with it.  After Mom and Dad's plane left I went to go find my S Gate and got a little mixed up in the subway/train station in the airport but at long last I found my gate, with plenty of time to spare I might add.  I found a seat and ended up sitting by my TA from last semester in Psych, Steve! He started a conversation with me and we talked all the way till we boarded. I got into Salt Lake City at 6:10 (almost 2 hours late) and fumbled 2 suitcases, a duffle bag, and my backpack out to Grandma Joyce's car.  Bryonna, Grandma and I drove down to Orem and Grandma had pizza ready to go at her house for us to eat.  Bryonna and I were both a little tired from travelling so we hunkered down with blankets and watched CSI New York and another show that I don't remember the name of when I got a text from an RA in the building next to ours (we're in the same ward) named David.  Mary told me he was in town so I sent him a Facebook Message asking if he knew if anyone else was in town and if so if anyone wanted to do anything to let me know since I was back too.  He came and picked me up and we went to go see the movie Pitch Perfect with some of his friends. (RESOLUTION!)  It was REALLY funny and I really liked it.  We were a little late since David came to get me but it was really nice of him! Now I'm back home and it's 12:40 in the morning.  I should probably get some shuteye since I plan on actually setting an alarm tomorrow morning.  GASP I know, me setting an alarm when I don't have to but it's a goal of mine and tomorrow is going to be productive! Lots to do, and I get to see some of my roommates tomorrow! Yay! Also, Mens Volleyball starts tomorrow night at 7 and I WILL be there! At some point this week Jasmine wants to go see Les Mis, so that should be fun! This semester is going to be awesome! And my bucket list of resolutions (for lack of a better title) is going to be accomplished :) Nighty night!
Oh, P.S. Did I mention it's like 5 degrees outside?!?!
