I’ve been accepted into the Governor’s Honor Academy

I am so excited! I have been accepted into the Governor’s Honor Academy held on the SUU Campus this summer.  I get the opportunity to begin my college education by learning skills and meeting people that will help me be successful in everything I do.  Best of all, I get a 4 year scholarship to [...]



No… I am not boy crazy……. okay, maybe I am.

All I can say, is I am the luckiest girl alive. No, seriously. Every girl is jealous of me, whether they know it or not. And if you aren’t jealous?? You should be. (; Haha!….. Nah, I don’t want to sound boastful. Only one person I know of is jealous, but hopefully it’ll wear off. [...]



Robo and Bobo the Hobos

There are only three times when I get the chills: First, when I feel the Spirit; Second, when someone breathes on or touches the back of my neck; and Third, when I hear a powerful and/or moving song. Tonight, I experienced the third reason multiple times. So, once upon a time, there was a beautiful [...]



My identity.

My name is Brittany Hanks. No one can duplicate me. No one can replace me. And certainly no one can tell me that I can’t do something. I will work until I achieve my goals, and even if it means sacrificing my sanity, my life, and previous habits; I will succeed. Many people can put [...]



HOORAY for good times!

Bleghh… school started. Hoo….rah… That is how excited I am for it. So once upon a time there was a girl named Brittany, who thought it would be amusing to dig herself into a hole as deep as AP Chemistry and Math homework, and as deep as the commitment to three different drama classes. Whilst [...]



The joys of Italian food and people.

“Most people die and go to heaven. Brittany dies and goes to Italy.” -Dad There lies a perfect plate of food. Spinach tortellini smothered in creamy alfredo sauce, tied together with strings of melted parmesan cheese. Yum. Man, I wish I was a food critic. But not just any food critic, one that eats ONLY [...]



I didn’t ask for this.

I know that everyone goes through trials. Some, bigger than others. Some, more significant or meaningful than others. And some, more difficult and harder to comprehend than others. Mine don’t make sense to me. I mean, obviously, they’re significant. They’re meant to be there for me to learn things, I get it. But I don’t [...]



Adventures in Snipe Hunting

I’ve decided to share this little tale, only because it is amusing to me and to the girls that came to girls’ camp this week. So every year, we take the first years snipe hunting. We convince the girls that snipes are like little pot guts with razor sharp teeth and claws. Our ultimate goal [...]



Boredom and Forgetfulness

As mentioned in past posts, you can pretty much say that I am bored. To tears? Yes. To insanity? Possibly. To death? Not quite there yet. Mom is mostly out and about, doing school and trying to teach impatient children piano, leaving me at home to babysit. I don’t mind much, except for the fact [...]



What happens now?

Pretty much, I’m horrible at keeping up with this blog. Oh well, whatever. So… what happens now? Summer is turning out to be potentially the most boring thing that ever happened to me. I’d rather be in school right now. No, seriously…. but I guess I get my wish granted? Because I start summer school [...]
