so while kate curles my hair, i think i'll talk about lake powell. it was so fun! i learned how to drive a jet ski, and excelled at it. seeing stephanie and the rest of the poes was so great, and i had a blast. steph and i did a lot of swimming, and i got a lot more tan than i was. (though i'm still not very tan.) i got to see Rainbow Bridge Arch, and the rest of the scenery was gorgeous. overall, it was very relaxing, and a nice getaway. the only downside was my sister. she gets on my nerves so, so bad. she treats me like a little three year old, or something. she finds joy in making fun of me in front of other people. like, bringing up my weaknesses or moments i'm not proud of and making me look really dumb. and she's not afraid to laugh at how i look. i don't know if she just doesnt realize how much it hurts me, or if that's what she's trying to achieve, but it's working. but i decided i'll just try to avoid her. i don't care if she decides she doesn't like me anymore, because i really don't like her much. upside: kate came with my family and i to go see Mamma Mia!. it was so good! i really enjoyed it. then she came home with me and we've just been lounging around chilling.
