So, I have been a slacker. Rigggghht. My bad. I'll catch you up real quick. :] Tuesday. :] I baked at Fort Union again, and it was good as always. I really like it up there. But today was especially exciting, because I get to do something so cool next weekend! Christian called, and told me to whip up some special sugar cookies, so I obeyed, and kinda spun my own personality on them, and then he came and looked at them, and explained what they were for. Get this, he is doing the Bridal Show in Salt Lake next weekend, and that's what the cookies were for. And, this is the greatest part, so if you're not sitting (which would be bizarre) sit down. I get to go! He liked my cookies, and offered to take me to the show with him. :] Idk why I'm so excited, but I am. :] It's going to be just great. Tuesday night was our Open House, and it actually went well. A lot of people showed up, and we had so many cookies (still do) and that is disgusting. Oh well, it went good, and there are pictures. My mom went out of control, and did all sorts of cool decorations and extravagent cookie displays. After the Open House, Troy took me away from all the madness, and we went to his house and watched Paperheart. Which is a suppper cute mockumentary, that is kinda Indie, but I loved it! Super good. :] It was a very good night. He held my hand. Finally. Haha so it's good. :] He's so cute. So so so awkward. But cute. Wednesday pretty much went exactly the same. Baked in Fort Union, came home, and then went and hung out with Troy. :] We went to Smith's, bought supplies, and then he made me Brazilian food. It was so good! I had lots of fun. Then we just hung around, watched a couple of movies, and some Sportscenter. :] It was great. Lots of fun. Phew. Okay, so today is Thursday, and now I'm all caught up. Today was my last day at the FU store, and that is sad. :/ Hopefully I'll be there next week during the Bridal Show, because I really like Mckenna. (She is the girl who has opened everyday I have been there, and has helped me out A TON, she's super cool.) Then I came home, and discovered something fantastic. A new show. :] I'm actually watching it at this moment, it's called Burn Notice. So good. He is an awesome dude. I wish I had his skills. Tonight is New Years, and I'm pretty much dreading it. Which is sad, because it will probably be fun. I'm hoping. But New Years Eve has always sucked. Year after year, it's just been not great. Kaleb incident. Cam incident. I'm nervous this year will end up in a Troy incident. Or something worse. But I'm doing my best to be positive. :] Here is the agenda, I'm going to go to the Johnson's with my parents, eat dinner, see the people ther for a little bit, and then me and Troy are going to head to Tori's and hang out with her and Hadley. I'm excited to see her!! I miss her greatly. I'm wearing big earrings just for her, because they're her very favorite. I also will be meeting Jordan tonight, which should be interesting. We'll see how this goes. :] Positive thoughts right? Troy had a rough day though. I can tell it's bugging him more than he is letting on, and I'll post what happened as soon as I figure it out. Hmmm. Lately I have just been plucking petals off daisies.
Dec 28 2009
Skipped yesterday. So we'll do a brief refresher course, woke up really late, ate breakfast, then my family made us late for church, and well that was outraging. We all know how much I hate being late for church. :] During church, me and Parker were put IN CHARGE of the Nursery class we subbed in a few weeks ago. That was an adventure and a half. But it actually went alright, and no one died or was severely injured, and I actually had fun. Even if it was totally gross. :] After church we quick delivered our invites to the open house, and then headed up to Gma and Gpa Page's for the Christmas dinner/get together. (Not really sure what to call it....) Anyhow, we went to that, and saw everyone. And ohh our family is large. :] We for surely need to find a much larger, maybe sound barrier-equipped room to have our family parties in. :] I'm confident it will cut the madness in at least half. :] We came home, and then played that Popcorn game again. It's so fun. Haha I'm not even sure why we like it so much, we're not that great at it. Haha. But it's fun. More and more bittersweet going back up to Logan. I'll miss the family-funness we have been sharing, especially now that my father has completely lost his mind. I'll miss my good friends here too, new and old. Oh well. :] If they matter, I'll see them again. :] So, today, Monday, was quite a day. I baked in the Fort Union store for the first time ever. Weird experience. First of all, I got lost. Then, Quinn was really late getting there, so I sat in an abandoned parking lot, in a city I know nothing about, all by myself while the creepy sidewalk sweeper man made his rounds. Yes, I was legitly scared. But baking went very smoothly. My sugars were superb (but, hello. We knew this already) and I was out like so fast. I like baking there. :] After work, I was very tired, so I watched Jurassic Park, and just kinda lounged around for a couple of hours. I talked to Devin however. (R.M from Logan, who lives in Jersey) He likes me. :] He told me. Haha so we will probably be hanging out when we both return to USU. Look for that. :] We then went to Plato's Closet, and while I scored some great clothing items, my sisters didn't. :/ Unfortunate, and I felt bad for dragging them along. Oh well. They find more stuff at the mall than I do all the time anyway. So I'm not worried. Our entire house is filled with cookies of all varieties. I'm pretty sure, in the future, I will dream all about cookies. It will haunt me for the rest of my life. That is just not good. My poor therapist will have a lot of decoding to do....
Dec 26 2009
So, my family is apparently one filled with creeper-like qualties, because we wait until twelve thirty or so to do some grocery shopping. That is where I am just returning from, the lovely Wal-Mart. And folks, go right ahead and believe everything you hear about Wal-Mart after a certain point in the night. It's like there is this point, where suddenly everyone creepy comes out and goes grocery shopping. It's super weird. And clearly, we are them, because that is what we do in our household, so I have nothing bad to say about it. Today was better than I thought it was going to be. I had to wake up extremely early and go to work, but it actually wasn't that bad of a day. I'm really nervous to bake in the other store next week, but kind of excited, because it's going to be so much easier for me. :] I mean, they do like 5-10 trays per day. That's insane. Today, I did 19, and it was an extremely slow day. Madness the difference between the stores. Madness. But today, me and Rachael actually got out early, and that was nice. I then proceeded to race home, shower at extreme speeds, and meet my parents in the madness of 106th at Five Guys (A DELICIOUS burger restaraunt, that I am currently in a love-hate relationship with. Love the food, Hate the establishment, and lack of space) It was very delicious, and then we went up to Jordan Commons with the rest of the county to see a movie. :] We ended up getting into "A Christmas Carol." I was really impressed with the way it was made, and it's as good of a story as it ever was, but the movie......creeped me out. It had some unneccessary creep-things, and if I were a small child, I probably would have been terrified. After the movie, we split off into parental units, and sisters and got some serious clothes shopping done. I revealed my Plato's Closet skills on my sisters, and we came out with some awesome stuff, at an awesome price. :] That place should seriously be paying me for the advertising I do for it. I tell everyone. And tonight, I shared my secrets of getting the best stuff. :] It's awesome. That store is my addiction. We then came home, the sisters beating the parental units home, so we watched some really stupid scary movies on T.V. Quality waste of our time. However, then we busted out a new game I got for Christmas, "Pass the Popcorn" and it was really fun! We were all very into it, and my dad eventually won, although, we just let him win, so he would feel good. :] But it was a really fun game, and we were all laughing and having a grand old time. I'm now suppper exhausted. Nursery duty tomorrow. :]
Dec 25 2009
Woot Christmas of 2009. This year has just flown. Can't believe it. It's been alright though. :] Today was a pretty good day. We didn't have to wake up too early, but it was still earlier than I wanted to be up. Ha. We did the stocking dealio, and then went out and opened presents. I thought it was a pretty good year. I got a hot chocolate maker, scripture case, scripture marking pencils, a cowboy boot ornament, new blanket, purple luggage from Caitlyn, a whiteboard calendar and markers from Courtney, Marilyn Monroe playing cards and a puzzle from Gma and Gpa (with a purple jacket), stackable CTR rings, an "ILY" necklace from mom and dad, a pocket nativity, an itunes card, money for clothes, and I believe that is it. (that was for my personal record, not just so that all of you knew. Remember, this has become my journal.) Our family got a Wii Fit Plus, and after opening presents, we played that basically all day, until we went to Carol's for Christmas. It was weird this year, probably because there weren't as many people, but it was still nice. :] We had really good ham, and got to spend time as a family, which is always nice. Alyssa and Collin even brought the twins...This Christmas however, was slightly bittersweet. I was glad to be home, and just spending time with family and what not, however, this year was really different from past Christmas' in my life. While all the family drama was going down, and I was raging, and needed someone to talk to, there was no one. He is countries and countries away and the only communication we have is the good old Snail Mail. It's great, don't get me wrong, but today was the first time I actually realized how much I relied on him, and he truly was my best friend. I hope that doesn't ever go away, no matter what happens, and he will always be my best friend, and there for me to vent to, whenever that may need be. :] I wish him the best of luck, and a Merry Christmas. Cyler said he has already been in the field for two days, and has a baptism. (Granted, he just happened to transfer into one, but still, that's pretty cool. :] ) You will be posted on what other mail things come about. I'm not sure if he got my last letter, hopefully, but you never know. I got to talk to Troy today though, and he was very nice in wishing me a "Feliz Natal" and such. He's a very nice kid. :] We just played the Wii Fit again, and oh my. Some of these games are HILARIOUS to watch being played. Like hilarious. Especially with my father. :] Haha I'm pretty sure this will be a family adventure for a long time. Anyhow, I now I have to go to bed, because I have to make cookies for sticky grimey children at five o'clock in the morning. :/
Dec 24 2009
Livid. This is the second time I posted for today. I hate the lame internet connection I don't get at home. Bah. Anyhow, Merry Christmas. :] Today actually went off pretty well. I woke up very late, to an empty house, and an empty shower, and the table was already all set and decorated fancy for dinner. My mom even felt weird, cuz we really had nothing to do. It was nice though. I got a lot done, and discovered two great things on the internet. One, Pandora radio. Love it. :] I definitely favorite listed that one. Two, Tetris.com. :] I forgot just how great playing Tetris truly is. Haha. But besides all that, I got a bunch of letters written, and schedules and what not figured out, and that was good. I also realized I miss Tori. :/ I'm ready to go back to Logan, and get back onto a regular schedule. :] Anyway, Christmas Eve. We had the Theurer family over for dinner, and Grandma and Grandpa Yager also joined us. We had a really good Turkey dinner, followed by a lovely pagaent by the Theurer kids. They did the Nativity, and I liked their own personal twists. (There are PLENTY of pictures of these goings ons on the facebook, so check them out.) After the pageant, we did the annual (drum role) singing under the blanket. This tradition, not many know of, because, well it's slightly odd, and I'm pretty sure it started as an accident. But hey, it stuck, and it works for us. :] I thought for sure, this year it was going to be a hassle to get all the kids to do it, especially Jacob, since he's super old and super cool now, but it actually wasn't, and everyone was really excited. :] We just need to brush up on our Christmas songs before next year.....After that we got the Reindeer food, and spread it out all over our lawn. This year however, we attracted a special visitor. :] My parents, discovered this head lamp flashlight thing, and the wonders of red cellophane. So, my father took the contraption, ran across the streeet, hid behind the neighbor's bushes, and played Rudolph for the night. :] If I wouldn't have known, I probably would have been legitimately creeped out. But I think the kids thought it was cool, and were only slightly creeped out. :] Once everyone else left, we opened our lovely Christmas pajamas, and recorded stories for Grandpa Page's gift. Hopefully he thinks it's cool, me and my dad thought it was a pretty good idea. Then the three of us watched "All About Steve" which wasn't what I expected, but I still ended up liking it. Very glad I didn't waste eight dollars on a movie ticket however. Merry Christmas. :]
Dec 23 2009
Finally got around to writing Jake today, so that was very good. I feel good about that. Finished off the last of the shopping with my little sisters and Parker at the mall today, and that was an endeavor. I don't understand why the entire world (our family is also at fault here, but for this post, we will simply ignore this fact) waits until the last possible second to buy Christmas presents. I mean, Christmas has never changed days. It's not like February 29th where it just decides to show up every four years, it is always, and always will be, December 25. So, why in the world, do people declare December 23 as national buy almost everything on your list day? It's insane. My favorite part about this madness however, is the fact that people have the nerve to get mad at the employees, or companies, when they are told that something just cannot be ready by Christmas. It's not their fault that you waited until the 23rd you oaf, don't yell at them for your idocracies. It fascinates me. Luckily, our adventures in the mall went very smoothly, and we found everything we needed, and finished on a very nice note. :] As we sat, eating our Pretzel Time and Orange Julius (the staple trip to the mall food) we found ourselves across from the lovely Hollister clothing store. (For those that are unaware of what Hollister is, it is a store that has extremely high prices, and audition to work there to make sure you "look the part" and is known for it's prestige among high school students) Anyway, outside of this particular store was where we were, and we watched as people walked by, in, out and around this store. It was the most entertaining thing I have ever done. I noticed, no one walked out of the stores with bags. We sat there for a good forty five minutes, and I never saw one person walk out a customer. We also found that it was an entertainment for the not so prestigious high school students to venture into Hollister, and see how long they could last. It was hilarious. This became the highlight of my week. Grunged down, pierced, long hair covered boys would come out the store with looks of disgust, and shock at what they had just experienced. I never thought I could get such a joy out of a simple task. When I came home, I spent a large majority of my time on Facebook, chatting away with Troy. Waste of time, yes. But it was pretty fun. :] We added sledding to our Brazilian dinner making date, so we will see how that goes. Rumor has it we're both pretty clumsy, so hopefully we both walk away uninjured. After dinner I got roped into the shopping rink again, this time assisting my father, who had no idea how to buy for my mother. It went well however, and we succeeded. :] Luckily, Christmas is in just two days, so this madness will continue no longer. :] I just dubbed the worst job in America to the Customer Service people at Wal-Mart. Imagine the bagillions of returns they have to suffer through when the 27th rolls around. Unfortunate beings. Someone should dedicate something to them.
Dec 22 2009
Totally revamped the blog page, in case you didn't notice. Haha but no worries, I had no idea what I was doing, and those small changes (pretty sure none of you noticed them) took me about......two hours. So I fail at technology. Give me a break. :] Today was a busy day at Smart Cookie, however I was running the front, so I wasn't bothered much by the baking stress, just the customer stress, which I have realized, is farrrr better. After work I made dinner! It was great. I'm so amazing now. I made steak fajitas. My family has lost their minds, like really. My parents were both doing some weird stuff tonight. Funny, but weird. But we still love them. :] I officially cut ties with everyone today. I know this means nothing to anyone, but I was so done, I just started erasing people. :] So, if your'e one of them, sorry. Eh. Life goes on. I watched the BYU Bowl game at the Petersen's with my dad, and just talked to Troy. :] Again, we will see. (My favorite line.) He did however invite me to help him make me brazilian food, so we will see how that goes. Watch me burn his house down. That would be an awesome story. I can't believe Christmas is so stinking close. Shopping day tomoorow. Woo.
Dec 21 2009
Two months! That is today. And today, well it was not so fabulous. We had the annual Christmas Cookie making get together at Carol's house, and that was all great, however, I got called into work in the middle. I was so mad. When I got to Smart Cookie, I wasn't really even needed, so I had no idea why I showed up, and I kind of freaked out. Ha. But everything is all good. I just sometimes, really really hate my job. Talked to Troy a lot today. We'll see. That seems to be the answer for everything now a days. "We'll see." I dont' exactly like it. I would really like to know what is going to happen. But I guess that would be like reading the last chapter of a suspense book. Even if we could read the end of our stories, I don't think they would make much sense. There are bound to be new characters introduced before our books end, and a new setting, theme, mood, everything will be different. So, I guess, waiting is a much better choice. A lot is different. I love being home. Love the holidays, and seeing all my family, and the old people from my ward and what not. But it hurts to see the old things that I will never be a part of anymore. Some by choice, and others just because that's the way life goes. I hate it. Oh well. Tori and me created a story today on each others facebooks, because we didn't get to see one another today. She is great. I'm so excited that these posts will be forever filled with our fabulous adventures as roommates, best friends, and whatever else we happen to be in our lifetime. I'm ready for Logan. :/ I suck at home. Haha
Dec 20 2009
Tomorrow just happens to be Cameron's two month mark! (It's actually ten minutes from now, I'm up late again, big surprise.) But that is crazy. It has been good however. I haven't gotten a letter for a while, and I haven't written since the beginning of the month. But thats alright. Whatever happens, happens. I did get his address today, so that is one less thing I need to worry about, so thank you Rodaboughs. Let's see what else we have missed. I have been doing A LOT of baking at Smart Cookie. And it has not been easy. It's really stressful, and I like it, but it's really hard. Ha. Long hours, and hard work. But I'm glad to have the job, as means of money, and something to occupy my time with. Because without it, I would be going crazy! I'm having fun at home, and am actually impressed by the things I'm getting done. :] I know everyone is dying to hear if anything happened with Troy. Because I mean, you are all enthralled in my love life. I know. :] But something did. We went out again on Friday, and it was a lot of fun. Each date gets less and less awkward, and we talk more and more. Friday night we went to an Indian restaraunt, which I had never experienced before, and it was really good! After, we met his friends, and went bowling, which I failed at horribly for the first time in life, but it was still good. :] He is super cute, and a lot of fun to hang out with. Saturday, I had a crazy busy day baking at Smart Cookie, and I very well could have lost my mind. But Troy came in and saw me, and that was nice. :] I had a date for that night with an old friend from high school, but ended up cancelling because I was beat. I happened to be talking to Troy when I left, and told him I would probably just be spending the night at home. He very sweetly offered to relieve me of my bad day stresses, and take me to a movie. :] It was very nice of him. I declined however, because I didn't think I would make it through a movie, and I didn't want to be known as that-one-girl-that-passed-out-on-me-during-our-third-date. Not exactly a title I want to bear, I mean just look at the length. That just wouldn't do. So I spent the night vegging with Jen and Melissa, we went to the new In-n-Out, and got french fries, got back massages from her little sister's friends (who left their mark, especially on my knots.), and watched some Criminal Minds. Overall, it was a very good weekend. There were however, some dark spots. But you know, it's really best not to dwell on those patches. Let's just say, coming home, isn't always filled with new and happy experiences. Sometimes, the changes that you, and others, have decided to make, creep back into your life, and cause some drama. Drama I really don't want to be a part of, and am done thinking about. :] Tonight I went over to Kim Johnson's, and we had one of our long chat sessions, and I caught her up on everything I have been up to. It was really great. :] Everything is so different now! It's madness. I just can't believe it. But it's good at the same time. I only have one negative about all the fabulous things going on, and that's that Cameron doesn't get to see them all happen. I hope he knows though. Through some sort of Missionary power. :] Haha that's slightly wrong of me, but I don't care. I'm going to be writing Jake Porter a letter tomorrow, and I'm actually looking forward to it. Good times we shared, and I consider us to be very good friends. :] Who knows, maybe he will be attractive when he comes home. :] We made Maddison a blanket for Christmas, because she has been having such a rough time. I think she is spending the holiday in Washington with her family, but she knows our house is always open. Tomorrow me and Tori are going shopping for a gift for April, and I'm helping her choose one for Hadley. I feel like it's going to be a good week. And not just because it's Christmas. :] Everything, is going to work out. Regardless. And I love that.
Dec 14 2009
Okayy, so I have extremely failed at blogging while I have been home, and I can't even say that it has been a busy couple of days, cuz I really haven't done that much. Thursday I just hung out at home, just glad to be over with school and such. Friday, sucked. I worked two shifts at Smart Cookie, one in the morning frosting cookies like there was no tomorrow to help Jen, and then I pulled a counter shift that night as well, and worked with a new girl, Briana. Luckily it was really slow, so I was able to get some baking done as well. Saturday was the day of excitement since I have been home. I woke up bright and early, and got to Smart Cookie at about five, and spent the next ten hours baking my butt off, all by myself. I was going so fast, so that I could be out of there for my date. I don't think I stopped doing something once. It was an exhausting feat. But all boring baking details aside, I made it out alive, and on time. I got home, got ready for my date, and was so exhausted, but still excited. It was a really fun date! I had lots of fun getting to know Troy, and we walked around Temple Square, and then went to the Christmas Program that MOTAB does every year. It was really good. :] I liked going, because I haven't been in so long, and I kind of missed them. Natalie Cole was there as well, and wow. She is kind of a diva. She had her own blinged out microphone, and conductress. But it was still amazing. :] We ate at Macaroni Grill after, and walked back to the car. I really did have a good time, and maybe we will get to hang out again. We will see. :] Tori is now in a relationship with the lovely Hadley. So that is great. She is happy. :] Maddison. Her Christmas break got off to an interesting start. The day before she was leaving for Washington, money in hand, everything all packed out, checked out of the apartment, she gets a phone call from her dad telling her that she cannot come home. Her mother didn't want her to come home, and they were coming to Utah on the nineteenth, and they would see her then. She didn't know what she was going to do. She didn't have anywhere to stay, no money to pay for a hotel, and her dad wouldn't answer any of her questions. She called and told me this. Minutes later, I got a phone call from Tori, who was bawling. She was so mad at Maddison's parents, and didn't understand how anyone could treat their own child like that. They resolved the situtation however, and Maddison is spending the next week at Tori's house in Alpine. I will hopefully be hanging out with them tomorrow, and I'll be meeting Maddison's twin, Mckall. We will just see how that goes. I'm extremely nervous for that little adventure. Today was one of the more boring days of my life. I did nothing. Absolutely nothing. It was torture. I talked to Troy, and I have no idea how he has managed to survive the past four months. Luckily I begin working again tomorrow, so I'll have something to do. I also decided I'm really going to do Miss Eagle Mountain this year. Ha. I want to try something spontatneous and new. Why not a pageant? Tesha did pageants. I will ask her for help. :] When my dad got home tonight, he was seriously WIRED. It was the most bizarre thing. He did the weridest things. Strange moonwalk dances in the kitchen, hugging the warm dishes from the dishwasher to his body, singing, the works. It was strange. We then embarked on an adventure to Wal-Mart and Smiths, where we bought eleven cartons of ice cream, just because it was on sale. :] Strange. I'll work on this blog thing.
Dec 9 2009
I didn't imagine myself spending my last night in Logan alone, on our couch, watching reruns of Top Chef on Bravo. We had a lovely roommate dinner tonight at Chili's, that was really fun, and really filling for all of us. I'm really glad we did that, right before everyone left. It was good for all of us to get out, and be able to just spend time with each other without the stress of school for an hour and a half. Then we came home, I was kicked out of my bedroom by Tori and Maddison who both have finals at seven thirty tomorrow morning, so me and April sat through the longest movie I have ever watched. Julie and Julia. It was good, don't get me wrong. And I did laugh out loud quite a few times. However, I have a very short attention span. Spending 2 hours plus watching a random girl cook her way through an obnoxious chef's cookbook, was not exactly pleasing to my lack of focus. I finished it however, and was proud of that fact. Now I'm alone, and I'm leaving tomorrow, and it's really depressing. I know I come home all the time, but this is the longest I will spend away from here ever. It's really weird to think about. And this time, when I come back, some of the girls I have grown very close to, will no longer just be right down the hallway. It's very sad. Didn't make the 3.5 cut. Dang. I'm pretty confident, I ended with a 3.3 or 3.4. I was so close, it's extremely frustrating. College is a very tough ride, and I didn't expect it to be so. I'm mad at myself for not doing as well as I know I could. I'm at this brink of exhaustion, and stress overload however, that I have refused to dwell or care. I tried, and that's really all I have left to offer. I will take this break with open arms, and work my butt off next semester to save my GPA. Which hopefully, will be a successful adventure. I'm going to take this time to reflect on my first semester of college. I have learned a lot. Not only in the classroom, but about myself, and people in general. I have discussed it before, but I am amazed at the ability that people have to change. Whether the changes they have made are positive or negative, lies deeply rooted in the person, and their soul desires on where they want their lives to go. I have watched an amazing transformation occur in Maddison. I can see her differences. She has become a nice person, who is genuinely trying to be a better person. I am so proud to say that I knew such a person. She has been a valiant example to me. There are other people I have witnessed change, and their changes are not the kind I am glad to have noticed. It saddens me to know that there are so many people out there, who have proven the statistics correct. They are now away from home, and they have taken advantage of this freedom, and altered their lives in a bad way. I just hope that some day, they will realize how naive and childish they are being, and come back to the ways they know they are supposed to live. I look at the changes within myself. Not just the gushy church changes, but small things that don't exactly matter. I have become more tolerant of dirt. More tolerant of things that used to freak me out. I'm proud of myself. This has been a giant learning experience, and I only hope that it continues as I finish my schooling. I am so grateful for the people that I have in my life, and everything they have done for me to get here. I wouldn't be here without them, and I believe that the video played at my graduation dinner, was more than accurate. Because I knew all of you, whoever you may be, I have been changed for good. I'm going to miss you E403. But I will be back in one months time, and the adventures will only begin to continue.
Dec 8 2009
Tuesday. Today was absolutely boring. I slept in, which was very nice, seeing as I was seriously lacking in the amount of sleep I had retained over the past few days. Then we ventured to the Marketplace, and I headed off to my ASL final. It went very well. I feel very confident I got an extremely high grade, and I'm glad that I did really well in at least one class! I'm hoping that my report card reads all a's, with the stupid Biology exception of the C whatever. After my final, I came home and studied for a couple of hours, then read some of the book I'm currently entertained by, "The Secret Journal of Brett Colton." It's really good. It's a church book, about a girl who's brother died when she was really little, and then leaves her a journal for her to find on her sixteenth birthday. She meets the school quarterback (who is apparently extrememly attractive) who is Mormon, and they end up dating. I'm only halfway through, but I feel like he will convert her, and hopefully they will end up happily together for the rest of their lives. :] I like reading about her perspective on the Mormons, and the way that they conduct themselves. She mistakes Jason's kindness for fakeness, and then begins to realize, that that truly is who he is. I hope that someday I will be that kind. :] Ha. I talked to Parker today as well, which is good because I miss her greatly, and we haven't talked in forever. She is doing good. Hopefully her and Ben will be okay. We made a candybar run a while ago, because we all seriously needed some chocolate. I have been studying for my Psychology test most of the night, and me, Maddison, and Tesha have just been hanging out in the living room. I also talked to Troy today. I had to ask him about wardrobe requirements for Saturday, so I texted him. He answered my question, and then told me good luck on my finals. I idiotically said you too. I dont' think he is in school, therefore surely meaning he doesn't have finals. I'm an idiot. I'm hoping maybe he just read over it quickly, and thought nothing of it. Because that is a great first impression. Oh yeah. You're an idiot. Great. I will have to find some way to recover from this one. Tomorrow night is our last supper as roommates. It will be very sad. :/ I will take a lot of pictures. I'm sad. I like these girls. It has been so fun getting to know them, and I will miss different things about each one of them. I know we will see them next year, (Tesha and Maddison are coming back to Logan, and have promised to visit, or sacrifice their lives to me) but it is still sad. This is one of those situations where you are all forced into something new, and scary, so you reach out to whoever you can, and you become so much closer. I'm lucky to have met these girls, and hope that I have impacted their lives in a positive way. I hope when they think of me, they smile and shake their heads. I know that's what I will do when I think of both Maddison and Tesha. In church on Sunday Grant bore his testimony, and talked about going home for Christmas, and he made a valid point, that I think all of us agreed with. This Christmas is so different from the others. It means more to all of us to come home for the holiday, and be able to just be home with our families, and not have to worry about the stresses of school. It's very cool. Even if we are all stuck in the Limbo stage of life, where we are no longer young, not yet old. It's like the stage of life where we take everything we ever absorbed when being young, and have to quick sort it all out before we are old enough to actually apply it, and have it affect our lives, and our future families. Oh. I just love hanging out with these girls! I'm sad they are leaving. Maddison has this ability to make everyone laugh, by being totally serious. And Tesha's ability to make a normal situation completely awkward, and say everything that everyone is thinking. Next semester will be so weird.
Dec 6/7 2009
Sunday was a really good day. It started out with a great trip to church. It was so good. All of our new friends bore their testimonies and it was so cute. They all cried, and we cried, and it was just awesome. :] These boys will make really great missionaries in the very near future. I also choristed the music for the first time. Oh boy. I almost killed myself. I was standing on the little stair thing, leading away, I somehow lost my balance, my shoe slipped off of the stair, and I had to catch myself on the piano. It was almost a potentially extremely embarrassing situation. Can you imagine? The chorister's first week up there, she slips and knocks herself unconscious on the piano. It would be just grand. I could never ever live that down. And then to top it all off, in Sunday School, i tried to re-inact my almost death in front of the congregation, and actually almost killed myself. It was so embarrassing. I refuse to wear those shoes to church ever again. After church we came home and studied studied studied. Me and Tori spent a long time working for our Monday finals, and listened to fabulous church music. We took a break, made ourselves some dinner, and watched the Christmas Devotional. We then studied some more, and headed off to Ward Prayer. We were kind of stressed right before Ward Prayer because we realized that neither of us had Scantron sheets. Luckily, Grant, the attractive triplet, came to our rescue, calmed us down, and told us that he had Scantrons we could have. So later that night him and Tryn brought them over, and I made them Hot Chocolate in return. It was a very good night. We studied some more, and Grant helped Tori study for the final that they both had the next day. We finally got to bed (kinda) around one. However, neither me or Tori slept. We were both awake almost all night long, just laying there. It was so horrible. Then, at five thirty, we get a knock on my door. Maddison is standing there, and she says, we need to pray. That's it. I was so confused. So the three of us knelt on my floor and Maddison prayed for us. She was teriffied, and neither me or Tori knew what exactly was going on. When Maddison was finished, Tori said she wanted to say a prayer as well. Halfway through, both of us start crying. We still have no idea what is going on, and I thought I was dreaming. Tori is praying, we're crying, and Maddison is scared out of her mind. We found out after the prayer, that Maddison had felt some sort of evil presence, or what she believed to be evil, and was really freaked out. It makes sense, because both her and April have come a long way over the past couple of weeks, and are both getting very involved in their religions. (April gets to take the sacrament next week. We're very excited.) It was cool, but terrifying. By some miracle, I woke up an hour later, took my final, and have remained functioning all day today. My final went well. I didn't get the greatest score, but the rest of the class didn't do so well either, so I'm hoping there will be a curve involved. The wind was so bad today and last night however. Oh my. I thought I was going to die walking across campus. I like had to use a ton of force just to propel my body forward. It felt like thousands of ice daggers were finding their way through the seams of my jeans and implanting themselves into my thighs. My cheek cells were turned to ice cubes, and I thought I would loose my ability to express emotion forever. I thawed however, and now it's just incredibley cold here. But I love it. :] Mostly. We didn't do very much for the rest of the day, because all our classes are over. Me, Tori, and Maddison spent a really long time (4 hours) in my bedroom, just talking and laughing. We have bonded so well. :] (I almost just compared our bond to that of an atom, Biology has forever tainted my normalcy) I'm really going to miss her when she goes back to Washington. We had another church study party as well, and we all studied our different scriptures. :] It's really great. We tried to go to the temple today, but we forgot that it's closed on Monday. We're going to try to go tomorrow. I'm so tired. I have not slept in twenty four hours. I think that that was how Heavenly Father answered my prayers. He kept me awake all day today, even though I had a serious lack of sleep. I'll take any blessings. :] I wrote Cam today as well. Best news of all before I finally go crash, Troy called me tonight. :] He was very cute on the phone, and we are going out on Saturday for sure. :] Very excited. I hope all goes well!! The goose down and a hard twin mattress are requesting my company.
Dec 4/5 2009
So I failed at writing this weekend, I know. I'm sorry. But nothing really all that exciting happened. Friday I went about my last day of classes, nothing great going on there, except for the part where it was the last day of classes. We went to the Marketplace for dinner, and ran into all the people from our ward we played pool with and what not, and Jeff, invited us to play again with them later that night. I was excited, because I really like them, they are super super nice and fun, and a lot of them are really cute. So it's like a win win. We get friends, and they are cute. Haha. So I was just kinda hanging out in the apartment waiting for Jeff to call, and me and Maddison ended up just chilling and watching TV together all night. It was great. :] We bonded. Haha. I love her. I know she drives me insane, and she does these things that just dont make any sense at all, but I still love her. I will miss her when she goes back to Spokane at the end of this week. :/ She gave me a new name, legitney. Haha I'm so glad I have been upgraded from the "Shitney" she used to call me. I like the new one much better. Ha. Jeff never called, but he did stop by the apartment, and apologize for not getting around to playing pool. See? Isn't he just a sweetheart? It was cute. He stayed and talked for a little while, then left. I was so pleased he stopped by. It made my day. Later that night, we all hung out in the front room, and we decorated for Christmas! It's festive in the apartment now. I'm sad we didn't get the lights up yet, hopefully they will be up soon. But we have garland around the TV, and a cute little red Christmas tree. It's adorable. We had a bunch of cardboard left over from one of April's school projects, so I cut it up into squares, and I made ornaments with all of the roommates faces on them. They are adorable. They didn't fit on the tree however, soe we had to line them up around the base. There are pictures I will put up. They are so cute. And I tried to dress each one like their personality. Saturday was good as well. We all slept pretty late, and then we had a cleaning/dance party after lunch. It was just grand. We had the door open and were blasting music. And now our apartment is ten times cleaner, which I always will be a fan of. Then Jennifer and Melissa came and visited me! It was so good to see them! We hung out around the apartment, and then ventured out into the snow. :] It was so pretty!! I loved it. :] We went and watched everyone sledding down Old Main, and Tryn came with us. (Tryn is also known as Tryptophan, the kid from my FHE family who plays football. Intersting fact I learned that night-he is Connor's actual roommate. Yeahh.) Then Chad came over, and all of us went to the USU Basketball game. It was so fun!! There were so many people there and they were so loud!! We lost, which was so lame, cuz it was in the last like minute that we lost it, and it was all because of the referees. Stupid. But it was still a really fun game. After the game we were all starving so we went to Angie's and ate dinner. Then we came back to the apartment and played "Would you Rather" for a couple of hours, and then watched Accepted. It was quite a night. :] Tryn was here until like three thirty. It was kind of obnoxious. And I found out that Connor is an angry drunk. Unfortunate. But yeah it was alright. Another one of those posts with no insight, just the ramblings of events.
Dec 3 2009
Happy Birthday to my father and Caitlyn today. Today was an average day. I'm really tired. And I just want all this hardcore studying stuff to end. I hate Finals. This is the first thing of college that is just like the movies. Stupid stressful finals week. I hate. Today was the last day of two of my classes though. It's really great. One step closer to being home for Christmas! I got a letter today. So that is good. Um I have focus problems today. Bad. It is even interupting this blog post. Quite unfortunate. I went to a ward activity tongiht. It was actually really fun! We went and ate pizza in building F, and then played pool with a bunch of boys from our ward. It was great. :] And now we have friends in the ward! Yay us! We're totally getting rid of the antisocial label that we have been slathered with. Unfortunate. I have so much homework to do. It's stupid. I hate homework. And studying. And everything. Bahh. I just would really like to go on a real live date. Ha. Not in the boy crazy way. I just want to do something productive and fun. :]
Dec 2 2009
So today started out pretty alright. I was able to wake up, drag myself to my early English class, get through that, sit through Biology, and then go to my ASL Lab for the last time. It was a really good class today. We talked all about the Deaf Culture, and Jon told us about how he has a Cochlear Implant, and how it didn't really help him succeed at all. Which is true, people think they make you magically hear just like normal, but that is surely not the case. After that we went to the Marketplace, had a great time, came home, went to Psychology, the boring perks of class filled days. Tonight however was an epic night for USU basketball. And I was so excited to get to go. We headed over to the Spectrum at about four twenty, and the line was so disgustingly long. By the time the doors opened, it snaked all they way through the Hyper field. (I took pictures, I will show you) But it was freezing. And I was not prepared. I stood in line for two and a half hours. Couldn't feel my feet, or my hands. Everyone around us was freezing to death basically. However, when they opened the doors, some idiot created their own line. They ignored the fact that hundreds of kids were standing in the cold, and had been for hours on end, and created their own line to get into the game. The officials ignored this fact, and therefore had two lines slowly filtering themselves into the Spectrum. One line of honest people who had been there all day and stayed in line, and the other, the scum of the earth that cut in front of everyone in their own selfishly created line. Right when we got to the doors, they were shut in our face, and we were told the place was full. I was mad. I was mad that I couldn't feel any part of my body, and that there were people who had been standing in the cold for all of ten minutes snug inside watching the game. It was so ridiculous. I will be writing a letter to the stupid school. And I know for a fact I will not be the only one. Because there were about three hundred kids left outside the Spectrum doors, for honestly standing in line. My feet are still swollen and feel weird from the cold. There had better not be any permanent damage. I'm stressed about the amount of work I have to get done in the next few days. I'm beginning to worry. But I have faith that I will get it all completed. And do well on my Finals. I pray. Pray for me. :/ Let's see...talked to Connor today. He called me pretty. :] Our apartment is a disaster zone and it's starting to gross me out. Rob broke up with Maddison, so that should get pretty interesting over the next couple of days. No letter. I'm exhausted. Tori has layed herself out across my front room table and my couch and fallen asleep. I can't decide if I'm going to leave her here or not, or make her go get in her car and drive home. Eh. Goodnight.
Dec 1
Got to start a new month today. That is a grand occassion. So today was basically the most nonproductive day ever. It all started out well, but went downhill as the day progressed. I realized a few things today however. I noticed, that as I walk across campus, no matter what time of the day it is, no matter what day it is, season, weather conditions, there are always people working on the landscape. I wonder, why that is. I mean, it's pretty cold here. And everyone knows we're going to get a ton of snow, so why spend countless hours slaving away over the landscape that will just become a frozen wasteland in a month's time. Waste of time. Tonight we had some seriously fun times as roommates and Tori. Ha. We got no homework done however, but oh we laughed really hard. First we had a giant dance party, and got the people from the second floor to come up and see what was going on. Then me and Tori stat in my room and no joke just stared out my window waiting for innocent passerbys to scream at. Oh it was so funny. We were dying we were laughing so hard. I don't know what happened to everyone tonight, but we were all on something. Then Tori picked up this giant carboard remote we have in our front room (let me repeat that, the giant....cardboard...remote...we had in our front roomm......??) and we both connected on the same brain wave, and I became her TV. It then turned into this giant game, and everyone was involved, and we acted out all sorts of TV shows, and all of us were laughing so hard we were crying and laying on the floor. It was a great time. I'm going to miss little Tesha when she moves away. I cannot believe it is already the end of my first semester at college. I still feel like a little girl. It's the weirdest. But it really is great. Sometimes I look back for a second on life in high school, jr. high, or elementary, and I can see how old I really am. Other times when I look back I can tell I still am the same girl, with the same quirks, and the same goals. I'm glad that I could remain an individual through the craziness we grow up in now a days. I feel bad for those of them that I once knew, who faded away into the fads and fashions of the world, and caved under the pressures of their peers. I want to show them that the real them is still there somewhere, but I don't think they would be willing to uncover it. They like their new covering of a life better, even if it is just temporary. I can only continue to hope that they will realize it before it is too late, and come back to what they used to know. But everyone has hopes. No letter. Talked to Connor again. Losing interest in Nick. I feel these are just staples of the day that need to be mentioned. They are like the Nutrition Facts on the cereal boxes. Demanded by law, passed over by all.
Nov 29/30 2009
Sunday was an okay day. I was still really sick, and that really sucked. But I went to my parent's ward, and always enjoy that. This week was especially grand however, because I saw Troy Butterfield for the first time. :] He is attractive, and I wouldn't mind dating him. Ha. We will see what happens. :] Then I came home and basically did nothing, but lay around all day. I didn't have the energy to do anything else. I thought I was going to die. Ha. Tori ended up driving me back up to Logan, and that was quite a drive. :] We hit some serious traffic, and I thought Tori was going to loose her mind. It was scary. But we made it all in one piece, and it was just grand. This morning, I woke up, showered, got ready, and was way too ill to go to class. I thought I was going to throw up or pass out. It was not good at all. So I got back into bed, and slept for four more hours. Hopefully I'm getting rid of this stupid whatever it is, so I should be okay by the end of this week. I'm going to take some more cold medicine here shortly, and head off to bed. Connnor talked to me again on facebook today, and I'm interested in seeing what will happen when we meet in person for the first time. We will see. :] Me and April went to FHE tonight, and had quite an adventure with the girls from the first floor. We got lost. Seriously lost somewhere between Logan and Providence, trying to get to one of the bishopric's home. It was great. We were all laughing, and it was just a bonding experience. Haha. Then after FHE we came back up to our apartment, and rigged one of the girls nose to look broken, because she tricked her roommates into thinking that they had spent the night in the hospital, because she fell and broke her nose. It looked super legit. It was awesome. :] It was also the most social any of us had ever been with anyone in the building. Go us. :] We're so social. Eew. Tesha is freaking out about something nasty in our sink. Oh I love it. :/
Nov 28 2009
I didn't sleep at all last night. I was too busy saving my younger sister's life in every stinking dream I had. That by the way, leads for a very exhausting night. To top it off, I woke up with this massive head cold, that has just been taking over all day long. Lame. I hate sickness. It's so pointless. I saw the second Twilight today. That Taylor kid, is fineeeee. :] So, the movies made me jump to team Jacob, because hello, Robert, you are just a freaking weirdie. EEEw. You should never ever be shirtless again. Not even to the beach. Better yet, get a picture of Taylor's body, copy that sukcer onto a teeshirt, and wear that at the beach. Cuz you need it. After that I did nothing. Ha. I was too lazy and drained to really do anything else. I started laundry, which is good seeing as I pack up tomorrow. Then I hung out with Jennifer and Melissa tonight, and that was good. :] We went to WalMart, saw Bethany who was running off to meet her little love interest, and then we went back to Jenn's house to watch How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Which is a splendid movie, and I forgot how much I loved it. :] I'm far too sick and tired to write anything else, and well, nothing else really has happened.
Nov 27 2009
All day felt like Saturday, and it has really been throwing me off. Also, all day, I have been dreading the fact that I have to go back to Logan in like two days. That means it's almost Finals week, and I'm really not ready. :/ I'm slightly nervous. For my Bio final. Oh well. I'm going to try to enjoy my last little bit at home, then stress, then get to enjoy the really long break. :] That is my motivation. Today was a not very productive day on my part. Ha. I slept too long, and didn't really feel like doing much. We did get our Christmas Tree though. :] The same place, the same kind, the same whole ordeal. I have realized that i will probably have to buy my Christmas tree from there as well. Traditions, this family is swimming in them. But it was fun. :] It took a really long time for us to pick out our tree this year, and Caitlyn hates it. But to be perfectly honest with you, once we get it in our living room, it looks exactly the same every year. It's really rather bizarre. My dad also put up the Christmas lights today, and although there are no blow up shinanagins yet, they will be up soon. It was cool to drive home from work and see the house all lit up. :] It's my favorite part. I just wish there was snow.....I'm mad it hasn't arrived yet. Lame. It had better start showing up soon. I also worked tonight, which was pretty slow. Me and Tori are not as fast as closing as we once were. Ha. We were kinda slow. Oh well. We had a pretty good time. I saw Chad and Melissa. They came in with Danielle to visit for a while, and I miss him greatly. We promised we would both be better at visiting. So hopefully we will be. I'm really tired tonight though, and I'm waking up to work out with Melissa tomorrow. So, boring blog post.
Nov 25/26
Wednesday:
Pretty good day. This day was one for catching up with people I haven't seen for quite some time. Melissa and Jennifer took me to lunch, and that was very fun. I love those girls. :] They are just fabulous. I'm excited to get to be home for Christmas break to see them a lot more. I just have to make it through the last few weeks. Sprint to the end. Wendesday night was really fun. We went to dinner as a family, and I swear, we have just gotten weirder as everyone gets older. Then I met all the old Smart Cookie gals at Starbucks had we just chatted it up. :] I'm not going to lie, it was like really awkward at first. Ha. It was weird. I felt like I had nothing to say, and I didn't know how to talk to them. But then it started to get better, and everything was good. :] Phew. Then we went Country Dancing again, and this time it was much more successful. There were a ton of people there, and we danced like every song. It was splendid. :] I love going Country Dancing. It's just great. :]
Thursday: [Thanksgiving in case you were curious]
Today was good. :] I woke up super early after my long night, and went and got my Turkey Bowl on. :] I actually played this year, and it was pretty fun. I got bored fast though, and then just went and chatted with Rikki and Parker. We unfortunately didn't make it over to see the Single's ward folks, so no Stephen. Maybe some other time. :/ Then I came home and watched the Parade, and just hung out at home. It was relaxing, cuz we didn't have to be anywhere until way later in the afternoon. The Parade was alright, it was frustrating to me because the stupid Disney Channel hack jobs got all this spotlight and glory, and the originals, got the total shaft. They went to commercial in the middle of Cindy Lauper's performance. All during Gloria (something, the one who sings I Will Survive) she had pom poms in her face from the stupid cheerleaders on her float. It was really upsetting. Stupid new world and their stupid new morals. My kids are going to be the freaks in their classrooms cuz they won't have cell phones at the age of six, and an ipod in their head at all times. I don't care, my kids will grow up semidecent. Thanksgiving was really good. :] It always is, lots of yummy food, all the traditional stuff that no one likes, but everyone eats at least a little of. :] I love it. :] Thanksgiving of course isn't Thanksgiving without breakdowns, and yelling, and noise noise noise. Our family is really crazy. It's a joy. Our pageant was a little off this year. Ha. We didn't really have much of a script, and I just made the Indians break dance the whole time. :] But it was good. My mom spent a lot of time making all these costumes and getting this fake food for the pageant box this year, so we will always be fully prepared with costumes. I remember the days when we would wear Carol's scarves around our waist or heads and we were Indians. We would spend like an hour making up the script to the play, and practice it like a trillion times. Ha. Hopefully the younger kids will start to get more excited about it, and take the reins. :] They would enjoy doing it, if they would just try.
Nov 24
I decided today that the world is very small. I decided this while sitting in my living room. Nothing fantastic happened, I didn't find a strange connection between two people I knew, I just decided it was very small. Small world things did happen today however. I went Country Dancing for the first time in a long time, had lots of fun, and I saw Ariel. The girl I grew up with, and I saw her crazy mom. :] It was really weird! But it was cool, we like caught up on high school and what not. Weirdness. :] Her best friend's name is Patches. Ha. But that was about it. I worked again for Christian today, and cleaned my butt off. That raise had better be a big one. Me and Jennifer worked so hard on the big mixer. It looks great. :] Something extraordinary happened today. Connor, my Marketplace's boyfriend, chatted me on facebook. He talked to me! Then I gave him my number, and he text me, so now I have his. This is an incredibley large baby step. :] I'm so excited. We will hang out with them when we get back up to Logan. :] The word extraordinary fascinates me. Is it extra ordinary? or extraordinary. When you think about it, extra ordinary would make something extra plain. Or extra boring. So, it's not even that great of a thing. Confusion of the English language. I'm so excited for Thanksgiving. I can hardly wait. :] I like to be thankful for strange and simple things. Like the spacebar. Or the CAPS LOCK. Or the number pad off to the side of the regular keys. When you think about it, if you didn't have these things, life would be extremely different. I like to think about the very tiny things of life that no one else does. I would love to have been there for every cool invention. Like who decided we would need a spacebar? Was it obvious to everyone, or did someone specifically stand and say, "We need a key that will place spaces between our words. It shall be called the spacebar." If you think about it, all the people who invented stuff were viewed as really strange and weird. They were the whack jobs in the neighborhood who were always thinking of crazy projects that were going to change mankind. These projects did indeed change mankind however. Like Model T. I bet before the cars were big, people thought Henry Ford had lost his marbles. We owe all the stuff we have to the whack jobs who were crazy enough to have a dream. The history books are just one big apology to these people. We're trying to make it up to them for calling them whack jobs, even though they knew all along they were changing the world. I hope to some day be a whack job with a dream. I don't have to invent anything complex like the spacebar, but just do something that peoople think is crazy, that will benefit mankind. I don't want to be put in a History book, or get any fame from this. I just hope to inspire someone else to be a whack job with a dream. Everyone at one point in their life should try to be a whack job. Mankind might be a lot better off.
Nov 22/23 2009
So I'm doing better, at least I'm getting double days in at home. :] Sunday was pretty average, just went to the singles ward here at home. I met a pretty cute kid. His name is Stephen. :] He'll be at the Turkey Bowl on Thursday, so I'm hoping I'll get to talk to him then, maybe even give my number. :] Me and Parker went to Ward Prayer. That was interesting. :] The singles ward out here really isn't that bad anymore though. Just a little odd around the edges, but hey, everyone is. After Ward Prayer we even ventured as far as to someone elses house, and watched a movie with a bunch of people. It was actually kind of fun. I like the singles ward now. It's not exactly like the one in Logan, that I love, but it's pretty great. :] Today I went to work at Smart Cookie. I got lots of cleaning done, and just hung out with Jennifer, and Kayla. It was really good to see them again. :] Christian came in as well, and we discussed the store situation. :] He gave me full permission to kick all the girls into gear. It's great. I have an awesome power now. I'm glad Jennifer is there, she does good for the store. :] Then I just came home and hung out, and went grocery shopping with my dad and Caitlyn. That's always an adventure. Things like that are so fun to me. I miss them. I hope grocery shopping like that is fun when I'm married, otherwise I will be mad, and we will probably starve to death. :] I went to Rodabough's tonight to borrow a blender, and talked to Yvonne for a little bit. I like them. I miss them too. I wish I still got to hang out there like I used to. They're crazy, but a good crazy. :] No letter. I'm beginning to wonder if he is waiting on me.....we will see at the end of this week. I'm tired. And I miss Tori. :/ Ha. This is the longest we have ever gone without seeing eachother. Christmas break is going to be quite difficult! This is another one of those blogs where I feel like I'm droning. Lame. I will do my best to be more insightful from now on. I want something fun to read later, not just like I'm scanning through someones day planner. Anyone can list out their activities of the day. It takes something to learn from them.
Nov 20/21 2009
I told you, I fail at writing when I come home. I don't exactly see the point, cuz I'm with my family. But since this has become my only form of journal, I figure I had better keep up. So Friday, I did quite a bit. I went to classes, read an entire chapter for Psychology, packed up all my stuff, and headed home. I also took a Biology exam, but I don't want to discuss that any further. The drive home was alright, boring because I was alone. And I hit wayy bad traffic for like an hour. It sucked. Traffic is so stupid. But being home was good. :] My mom painted the basement, applesauce something or rather, and put these cool lamp things down there, so now it's my "bedroom." Much better than the creepiness of the basement that was doubling as my bedroom beforehand. I like it. :] And, may in the future, jack the lamps. :] Friday night was fun. I ate dinner with my sisters, and just kind of hung out with them. They're not all bad. :] Then the three of us and Parker went and saw The Blindside. And wow, it was the greatest movie of all time. I loved it. Every second. I'm so buying it. :] This day was tiring. :/ I woke up and had to go to work, to help Jenn bake at Smart Cookie. It was actually kind of fun. We got done really fast, and got a lot done, so Christian was really happy with us. But ohhh the store. It's nassttayy. So before my shifts on Monday and Tuesday, I'm going in to do some deep cleaning. Cuz it is needed. I wonder what Christian would do without me. Jenn is good for there, she knows what she is doing. Idk about all the other girls though. Kayla yes, but she's leaving soon. So we will just have to see what he does then. Looses it probably. He asked me to stay home for Spring Semester and work full-time for him. Ha. After work I came home and just watched some TV, because I was so exhausted. Then I went and hung out with Parker, Ben, Will, and Scott. It was good. :] I miss those boys. They are great. After hanging out at Ben's for a little while we went to see 2012. And oh my. Never see it. It stressed me out so bad. It's one of those movies, that nothing good happens until like the last minute. I swear I got five new ulcers just from that 2 hours. It was good, just wow. It's the end of the world all right. Scarrryy business. The first place to be effected was South America too. How fitting. Today was Yvonne's birthday. My mom bought her a blanket and a card. This is a very dull post. Blah. It's just relaying the events of my lame college life back to you, as if you were skimming the contents of my brain. Ha, but if you even skimmed the top of my brain I think you would die. I think about too much at once, so even a skim is like a full immersion. April has still not text me about a letter. Next week for sure. :]
Nov 19 2009
So right about now, my brain is mush. I have been studying for this Biology exam for about three or so straight hours. I had better do good on this test, or I will be seriously angry. My TODO list is getting smaller, but folks, it's still not completely crossed off. Bah. Today was just a long, lame day. I performed my thing in ASL, I thought I did pretty good, and I'm pretty sure I got a good grade. But after everyone was done performing, my teacher took the liberty of going through and reading the entire class each person's evaluation. Um, embarrassing. And I was mad, because he seemed to grade mine harder, like he does with everything else I do. Unfair. So that made me ornery. And, on top of that, when we tried to go to the Temple, THEY WOULDN'T LET US. Apparenty, we had to make an appointment. We have NEVER had to have an appointment. Ever. I was so mad. I just really wanted to go this week, but no. And, still no letter. This week was pretty much a downward slope for me. It's a dang good thing I'm going home tomorrow. We had the Silent Thanksigivng tonight. It was pretty fun. :] There were so many people there! It was crazy. And the food was really good. :] Tori went with me, and she was so lost and confused. But I think she had an alright time. I met some new people, and we hung out with them for most of the night. It was good. :] And, me and Tori successfully made mashed potatoes and gravy, and they all got eaten! Yay! So, in the future, I think my family will be able to survive off of the things I cook them. :] I found out the very best news today however. Guess who is in my FHE group? That's right. Eric. :] So, something positive did come out of today. Woot. I added him on facebook, so hopefully he will talk to me. :] We will see. I'm going to bed now, so I don't have to drop out of college. Pretty sure my parents wouldn't enjoy that.
Nov 18 2009
In case you were wondering, this is the second time I am writing this blog entry. My stupid possesed computer navigated away from the page, and erased the entire thing I wrote. Yes, I was almost done. Now, I have to start all over at one oh nine in the morning. This officially was the worst day. I had so much to do, and had to run all over campus doing a billion things. And I still have like half a TODO list to finish. But I have confidence that all will go well, and I will finish it, and be able to go home completely stress free. That is my motivation. I went to all my classes today. I finished TWO English papers. My Biology assignment. Studied for an hour. Got my ASL story all typed and printed, and fiinished my interactive paper for that class as well. So yes, very productive day, even though at the moment, I'm freaking out, because I feel like I got nothing done, and had a complete waste of a day. Me and Tori brought April to her meeting with the Bishop. It was good. :] She needed some moral support, so we just went and sat outside the Bishop's office. It was actually REALLY good, because I met the cute executive secretary again. His name is Eric. :] He is from New York, and has stolen half of my heart away from Nick. (Don't worry, my goal is still intact, and I have a development in the story. :] ) I also went and bought Tori a chocolate dipped ice cream cone. She was in great need of one. After our little shin dig at the Clerk's Office (which is probably the most social interaction we have had since we have come up here) we came back to my apartment, and had a little mental breakdown. :] There were only slight tears, shed by Tori, but it was just a random mix of laughter, and comments about things, that looking back, make absolutely no sense. Tori Creighton is having some boy issues, and she doesn't know what she is doing with Dalin. They could get married, and they both know this. So they are on break, and trying to figure everything out. So tomorrow, we're going to fast for her (and him i guess) which is a little weird, but hey, she asked me to, so I'm going to. Tomorrow is also Temple Thursday. :] We get to go after Institute, since I'm not eating anything, and don't need to be back for lunch, just ASL. I'm excited. I love mine and Tori's temple trips. Maddison was particularly annoying today, but I just left the room. I cannot wait to go home. Cannot wait. Oh, story about Nick (Marketplace boyfriend) so today at lunch, I didn't see him. I saw Connor (his best friend) however. So I was looking around, for Nick, and I made eye contact with Connor, who was looking at me. And so I smiled and said hi. GUESS WHAT. He said hi back. :] Although it is not the man I would love, it is his best friend. :] Baby steps. Tonight Taylor and Mckay came over. And I KISSED Taylor. Kissed him. Ha. Yeahhhh...... we will see about this. No letter. :/ I suck at patience.
Nov 17 2009
Tuesdays suck worse than Mondays. But today was actually better than I thought it was going to be. I took my Bio Lab Exam, so that is crossed off my list of things I have to stress about. And the lab actually didn't take that long, so I didn't waste away an entire day learning useless information about plants. We went to lunch at the Marketplace, and yes, my boyfriend is officially back. :] He is just as cute as ever. But we sat with Colten (the weirdo kid who does our fast offerings) and a couple of his friends. They were nice, and I like them. One of them was kinda cute. I then went to Sign Language, and just had a blast. Okay, no. Ha. That class is seriously boring me. Bahh. But I got my story for my performance on Thursday, I'm doing "The Snowman Storybook." It's the best ever and we found it at Hastings today. I also got my Career Analysis paper done, and feel pretty confident I did a good job. :] So this mega stressful week, is turning out to not be quite so megastressful. :] I saw the Indiana Jones man today again as I was going to my Bio Lab. There are some seriously weird people in this world. But I have learned, not to expect normalcy, because that is weird nowadays. At dinner, my boyfriend was there again. It was the most time I have ever spent within the same space with him. We left at the same time, and walked down the hallway at the same time. I almost didn't make it home. He looks at me. He notices me at the Marketplace. Maybe, yes, he is just a creeper guy, checking out all the girlies, but I have stalked him enough to know, that this is not the case. I'm determined to talk to him this week. That is my ultimate goal. I don't even care how weird it could be, I have to. It's a risk I think I'm willing to take. Hello, college only happens once, and it's not like I'm going to be geting down on one knee in the middle of freshmen-feeding-frenzy and ask him to wed me. No. His name. That is all I want. I just want him to know my name. Taylor basically texts me all the time. Hmm. He is interesting. I like him, but Idk if I really like him. We will see. I have to talk to my boyfriend first. :] No letter, still. It has only been a day. Ha. But I really want one from Peru! That is so cool to me. I will get something from a foreign country. :] He can stop writing after that, I would only care a little, but I want at least one from there. Me and Tori did an hour work out video today, and it attracted a lot of attention to our apartment. It was hard too. Power X 90 or something. It was just grand, and Tony (the abnormally buff man on the video, who mind you, did like one fourth of the workout we did) was a great inspiration to get us working. Now I'm sitting here watching April make a remote for a giant, dreading the fact that I have to get up tomorrow. But it's Wednesday! One day closer to Friday. :] Parker text me today and said she was excited for me to come home. Ben is too. :] Yay. I miss them.
Nov 16 2009
Oh Mondays. Are so grand. So I got a lot done today, I think. I studied a whole bunch for my Bio Exam test that I have in Lab tomorrow, and I went to an SI for the actual class test I have on Friday. Which were all really really super boring. My classes were extra boring today as well. I wonder if it is because I'm so excited to just get this week over, so they are seeming more boring, or if they are really more boring. I just don't know. But I swear, my entire Psychology class was asleep today. You could slowly see heads starting to sink lower and lower into their chairs, and from where I was sitting, it was like she was teaching a class full of five year olds, because I could barely see the tops of peoples heads. Who knew perspectives on personality should come with a drowsiness warning? I can see it now, the professor begins the class, and her first slide reads: ATTENTION. THIS LECTURE MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS. DO NOT MIX WITH ALCOHOL. DO NOT OPERATE HEAVY MACHINERY. That would be awesome. That is reallly all my day has consisted of, school work. Which is the appropriate answer, seeing as I am a devoted college student. :] Now we are watching GI Joe, and that is so far pretty good. I will let you know. I didn't get a letter today, but I'm being patient. :] Peru is very far away. (As we discovered on my map yesterday.) I also was enlightened today that Caitlyn and Cyler are together. Oh so cute. What is weird, is that they will date in the same truck me and Cam did. :] Haha ohh funny. She's following in the correct footsteps. :]
Nov 15 2009
Oh Sunday. I tread a little deeper in my grandfather's tracks this day. I got my very first official old people single ward calling. Oh yes. Ward Chorister. Here we go. :] We will be singing Christmas songs all year long. :] Haha you give Whitney the power of the song, she will choose the songs of Christmas joy. I also got my Patriarchal Blessing Recommend, so there we go. Soon I will no longer be wandering through this woods of a world without a treasure map. I finally figured out exactly where Peru was located today. Yes, I know, I wasn't entirely sure of the location of a country. Don't judge. Betcha can't tell me where Tajakistan is? Yeah. Didn't think so. Besides, sources say, Geography is an impossible class to pass. Went to church today, and me, April, and Ashley sat by Tryn. (Football kid in my FHE group) It was nice. He is slightly odd, but hey. Fan of being his friend. Then we stayed for all three hours, and came home. I got some homework done, and then we ate at the Junction. Sierra came home today, and acted all weird and friendly. I cannot remember if I have informed you, but she has been acting super hostile towards me. Idk. I don't have time to deal with diva drama. (Alliteration.) We went to Ward Prayer, and I actually talked to Grant. :] He is just adorable. Slight pole, but very cute all the same. :] I have a lot going on this week, so hopefully I get everything I need to done, and get good grades before I go home. :] No stress Thanksgiving week. That's what we're aiming for. Let's hope target practice pays off, and I hit that target. We all know me though. Archery is not my strong point. Also, I am hanging out with Taylor. He is very nice. Cute. And since he broke up with his girlfriend, available. :] He text me today, and we will probably hang out this week before I go home. I'm feeling a letter this week as well.Good week. Nothing like a good week. Nothing like a good week. Nothing like a good week.(My version of the red sparkley shoe poem. Now I just need a small dog, and three deranged friends.)
Nov 14 2009
Saturday. Me and Tori slept until eleven. :] Then, we looked out the window, and decided we for sure weren't going to the football game. It was snowy and chillly. But it was very pretty. Big fan. I officially decided for sure that I am going home on Friday. Yay. :] A whole week and two days at home, and away from school, super excited. I also am super excited about Thanksgiving. Because it is my favorite holiday. Hello, football. :] I have been waiting for the Turkey Bowl for foooorrrrevvveerr. (and now, I just want to watch Sandlot. I always do that. Stupid word.) It will be weird without Cam. Ha. But I'm excited either way. And, get this, I have to bring my own thing to the Yager's Thanksgiving. I'm so freaking old. I'm going to bring that yummy pumpkin cake stuff I used to make. I looked up the recipe online and everything. Saved it in my little recipe saver on my computer, in my notebook, oh yeah. I'm like a legit homemaker now. :] I got a lot done today, because Maddison forced me into my bedroom. Okay, so she didn't really, but she was kindaa being super annoying, so I just went in my room and did tons of homework. But I still love her. Then me, April, and Tesha went to the Marketplace, and it was really weird, cuz it was Saturday, and it was like a ghosttown. After that, I did some more homework. Then me, Tori, and Becca went to this girl's house, and played cards with her and her roommates. It was actually really fun. :] They were really cute, and I really liked hanging out with them. I think we're going to go back there later. Now we are back at my house, with the Taylors, Mckay, Maddison, and April. We're going to watch Saints and Soldiers. They even made us hot chocolate. :] It's perfect. More tomorrow. And yes, I'm going to Church. :]
Nov 13 2009
So last night I didn't get to write in this little thing, cuz we didn't go to bed until like three in the morning. So yesterday started off alright. I wanted to sleep through English, and all my classes infact. But, I didn't. I went to class, and there were like ten people there. But oh well. Biology was super boring. We learned about the life cycles of fetching fungi. Who really needs to ever know that? I don't care how fungi reproduce and plan to take over the world. I just don't. Anyway, after that I came home, and did some homework and nonsense like that, then went to lunch at the Marketplace. Again everyone, my boyfriend, is gone! I have no idea what has become of him. I am concerned. Oh well I guess. He is gone forever. After lunch I came home, and was going to finish reading my chapter before I went to Psychology. So I started reading, and next thing I knew I woke up, and the book was next to me. I was like oh no! Looked at my phone, and it was three o'clock. I was mad I slept through Psychology. But I just went back to bed, and slept for like another hour and half. :] So I got a very good nap yesterday. After my nap, we went to dinner. Wow, this day is extremely boring! Then me and Tori went on a date to the Girl's Basketball game, to see Jenna play. They beat the U, and it was awesome. :] The boy's won their game as well. I'm excited to go to my first boy's game. :] It should be sooo awesome. I can't wait. After that we came back to my apartment, ate brownies and ice cream, and watched....Tinkerbell! It was a very cute movie, and I laughed so hard I cried. :] Highly recommend it. Then Taylor, Taylor, and Mckay came over and we watched Jackass all night long. It was fun, I was just so tired. Ha. Awkward kind of too, with Taylor. But whatever. It was still fun. We woke up this morning, and there was snow. :] Yay. Unfortunately, I don't have any good snow-playing clothing up here yet, so I can't go play in it until after Thanksgiving. Now we're watching Kung Fu Panda. Oh college is just so great.
Nov 12 2009
Thursday was long. Long long day. Woke up, went to institute, which was very good. :] I liked it a lot. Except, I think I need to go talk to someone, because I'm not exactly on anyone's role. Cuz I don't go to my class, and I'm not on Tori's role, hmm. I don't think it's that big of a deal, cuz it is Institute. We will figure that out later though. ASL was alright today. We just learned some more money signs. The class is getting better, but so am I, so I'm still really bored. Ha. It snowed today. :] Which was very nice. I enjoyed it. Even though I got my pants soaked from the stupid puddles, I swear I stepped in like every single one, it was still awesome. :] Hopefully it snows all night tonight, and it's all pretty in the morning. After ASL me and Tori went to the Temple, and that was nice. It was kind of hectic, because it was so busy, and they had everyone doing family names. So it got a little crowded, but it was nice, cuz we got a lot of time to sit in the chapel area, and just read the Ensign or whatever. It was good. :] I'm glad Tori got her recommend again, so now we can go weekly. :] We saw McKay's grandparents there as well. Cute little old people. I want to work in the Temple when I'm old. After the Temple, I had to hurry and get changed, and go to the Marketplace to eat and finish my Biology assignment. Then I ran to DESA, and had my first officer meeting. Ohhh boy. Ha. I thought I knew what I was doing. They don't slow down for folks like me. :] But still, I was pretty impressed, I think I actually got the jist of all the conversations, and didn't miss anything important. I'm pretty sure I understand my job, and that's impressive. Because wow. Ha. I was the only Sign 1 person there, everyone else was in Sign 3 or teaching. Yeahhh. :] But it was good, and then for DESA I was in charge of one of the stations. I liked it. :] I know a lot, and I'm pretty good at this. So we will see. After DESA me and Tori went and worked out, now I'm exhausted, and still have to finish half of an English paper. Bah. I just want to go to sleep. It's weird, I still get this weird feeling like I'm staying in a hotel or at EFY or something. But slowly, this is actually starting to feel like where I live. Minus the roommates. Ha. Yeahh. I love living with girls. :] (Not)
Nov 11 2009
Happy Veterans Day! Today was just long and boring. Two of my classes were cancelled, so I kinda slept through Biology. Ha. But it's all good. Then I went and gave blood, which went much better this time. Except when she put the needle in, blood squirted out of my vain, so my arm was wet, so I looked at it, and that was a mistake. She hadn't covered the needle yet, and there it was just sticking under my skin, with this blood all over. Nasstay. After giving blood I came home, ate a sandwich, and headed off to Psychology. For Veteran's day, they had a 24 hour patrol on the flag, and as I was walking across campus to my class, they were in the middle of this program. I kept walking, listening as I walked. Except then the man on the microphone announced that the closing of the program would be Taps, played on the trumpet. I of course, being the beloved granddaughter that I am, was forced to stop and listen. It was really good. :] I even had a small tear in my eye. It was cool, they had all the army ROTC guys on one side, the Navy dudes all lined up in another place, and the flag at half mast. It was cool. :] Grandpa would have totally bawled. Psychology class was boring, like always. I cannot wait for the semester to end!!! Then I basically did nothing until dinner, where I ate delicious food. :] Nick is no where to be found, again, and I'm giving up hope, and probably going to be forced to move on because he is not fulfilling my love tank. I just can't believe he would abandon me, and give me nothing to look forward to everytime I went to the Marketplace. After dinner I went and hung out with Tori, Taylor, Mckay, and Taylor. That was an adventure. I guess Tori and Mckay like eachother. I didn't know this. Ha. So I spent a lot of the night with the Taylors which was interesting. They are fun people though. We played some really stupid Truth or Dare game on Taylors iTouch. And watched this sick show about this man who eats like large amounts of food. I think it's called the Challenge. It was weird. And there are some big meals at restaurants in this world. Holy. It's very late, so I'm going to go to bed. Institute and Temple tomorrow. :]
Nov 10 2009
Yay it's one day closer to Thanksgiving. :] Which is indeed my very favorite favorite holiday. Today was pretty average. Just went to my Bio Lab, winged it with the kids who sit around me, then I had to hurry home cuz we had cleaning checks today. I'm not entirely sure what we have to do now, not everything passed, but we were pretty close, but we're all slightly confused. But we had to clean in like an hour,because at eleven thirty last night Chase comes by with the assignment sheet, and tells us cleaning checks will be at noon today. Way to give us notice. Like half the apartment was already asleep, so there was nothing we could do about it then. So we just cleaned like crazy this morning trying to get ready for it. Bah. Almost everyone did a good job helping, Maddison was at a gyno appointment, and Jessica just sat in her room (lame). Oh well. Then I went to ASL and sat there pretty bored out of my mind again. Ha. But oh well. Then I came home, and did a little homework, and some research on whether or not I think I can afford to go to summer semester. We will see how it all goes. I don't think I'm going back to Smart Cookie, cuz Christian is being kinda a jerk to me. We will see. I just want it to be Thanksgiving. But ah. Then I have Finals. But guess what, I'm not that scared about them. The Psychology and Bio ones are both not on everything, just the most recent chapter, and my ASL one should be no problem. :] I'm pretty sure that English doesn't have a final, so that is good as well. I feel like I pretty much wasted this day away. Oh yes, I did go to the Bookstore and checked out the scarves there, and I really liked this set with like a hat, scarf and mittens. :] I want it badly. :] Dad said I could probably combine it with Christmas, and get it. Woo. Then I went to Wal Mart and did some quality grocery shopping. But I forgot my green WalMart bags! I was so frustrated. So basically as of now, they are a complete waste. I will remember to use them next time for sure. We went to dinner. Something terrible has occurred. My boyfriend is no where to be found. (PS April thinks she is soooo funny by interjecting her comments when I accidentally say things out loud. Thought I would let you know, she wanted me to say that the something terrible was that she was so much cooler than me. Ha. Right.) Anyway, my boyfriend. The football kid Nick, has not been seen for like a week. He has vanished. I'm getting nervous. Then me and Tori went and worked-out, and it was extremely hard. Haha I'm exhausted. And this stupid new diet thing Tori wants me to do with her doesn't allow us to eat after like eight thirty, and I was so hungry when I got home, and my roommates went to McDonalds. They torture me with their greasy excuse for hamburgers and french fries. But ohh they are so greasy good. This stupid thing is harder than I thought.
Nov 9 2009
Mondays generally suck. Today however, was actually pretty great. :] I got a pretty good score on my Psychology test, English wasn't too boring, I found out about a serious grade problem in my Bio class, and fixed it before it was too late. :] Me and Tori started our no sugar diet today, and I made it all day. :] However, the temptation is so much worse when you know you can't eat it. It's really annoying. But the best news, I got a letter from Cam! He wrote me first. :] So great. Ha. It was awesome. I will save it, so I'm not going to relay every thing his letters say. I sent mine to him today, so he might be kind of confused, but I'm hoping he will figure it out, and I won't have to. Ha. Oh, and I may have possibly met a new boy today. His name is Pierce Bennett, and his uncle is Bob Bennet, the senator. :] He's really cute, and we're friends on facebook, so we will see if we ever hang out. He has been talking to Maddison, so maybe she can work something out. I just want it to be Thanksgiving. I cannot wait. :] Me and Tori worked out hard tonight. My foot hurts, and I'm really tired. But it was good. :] When I came home though, Tesha like screamed my name, and kept yelling over and over, "Whitney, you're home!" It freaked me out. Sierra and April pulled open their slider door, and I was legitimately terrified something horrible was going to follow them out, and get me. So I like ran back to my room and shut the door. On my bed, all my stuffed animals and stuff were moved to like the middle of my bed, and the whiteboard from the fridge was sitting on top of them with "CAREFUL, LOOK UNDERNEATH." It was creepy. So first, I like looked under my bed, cuz I thought that was what the note was directing me to do, but then I looked under all the stuffed animals, and my roommates had bought me a new Marilyn poster!! It's so cute. :] And totally completes the entie bedroom. So, today, was very clearly a very good day. Until I logged onto here, and Drew facebook chatted me. Gah. He's a retard. Oh well.
Nov 8 2009
Today was my nineteenth birthday. Woot. I didn't really do much, but I will write in here anyway, because it is my birthday. I woke up super early, probably because of the large amount of sleep I got yesterday. But I woke up at like eight, showered, and then finished my entire annotated bibliography for English. Then I wrote most of Cam's letter. Then I went to church. It was Ward Conference, and the whole focus was on The Family A Proclamation to the World. It was very good. I went all by myself, because none of my roommates that do go, were around to go with me. So yes. But Tori got her recommend renewed today, so we can start going again next week. :] Yay. After church I came home, did a little bit of homework, finished off Cam's letter, wathced half an episode of Monk and then went to the Junction with Sierra and Tesha. I hate the Junction. It just is not as appealing as the Marketplace. Bah. But then we came home, and Tori and Lissy came over, and we made a Funfetti cake, and watched Monsters vs. Aliens. It was cute, but not as good as Ice Age 3. Not even close. I want to watch that one again. :] I talked to Jake today, which was weird. I haven't talked to him in ages! He is still in love with me, and still a creeper. :] But he is nice enough. He leaves on his mission on the 18th. I told him I would write him, and I will, like once or twice. He deserves at least that. Everyone called or text or facebooked me Happy Birthday and that was very great. :] Today was actually a pretty good day. All I want for my birthday now is to pass my Psychology test tomorrow, and Nick. :] Ha. Yes, I still want Nick. I am determined to try. I'm tired. Goodnight. :]
Nov 7 2009
Yay for Saturdays. :] Let us see. Today started off great. Ha. Actually, no. I woke up this morning, to Tori telling me that we needed to go bring Lissy her wallet at IHOP, because she left it in her car, and she didn't want to go alone. Rage at Lissy. So I crawl out of bed, grab a sweatshirt, curse Lissy the entire way to IHOP, get there, and am furious, and then all my roommates reveal themselves. They all surprised me for my birthday. It was very sweet, even though I was angry. :] It was fun. After IHOP me and Tori came back, and slept until two. Yes, two in the afternoon. Ha. We have been very tired lately. Then I got up, cleaned the apartment, and showered, and waited for my parents arrival. When they got here, they gave me the cinnamon pinecones I have been dying for so apartment doesn't smell horrid anymore, and they gave me Ugg boots for my birthday. :] Yay. Now, my feet will not freeze in the harsh winters of Logan Utah. Then we headed off to Texas Roadhouse for my birthday dinner. :] It was a freaking long wait, and I thought I was going to starve to death, but we finally got seated. :] It was so yummy!! I love real food. Ha. It was good, I like seeing my family, and eating at a good restaurant. For my birthday they sat me on this saddle chair thing, and like made the whole restaurant give me a "Yeee-haw." Awesome me almost knocked the stupid thing over trying to get on. Embarrassing. Ha. But it was alright. There are lovely pictures on facebook. Then my family went home, and me and Tori came back to the apartment. After watching the Real Housewives of Orange County with Maddison, we went and rented Ice Age 3, and watched it with Ashley and Maddison. It was so funny. :] I loved it. Very good movie. And now I'm going to bed. Yay. I'm nineteen. So old. Bahh. :]
Nov 6 2009
Friday woot. So I realized today, that the Friday compliment guys have been no where to be found lately. And this sort of depressed me. I'm sad they gave up on such an endeavor so early into the school year! What else could they possibly have to do in the middle of the semester?? Come on. But, my spirits were risen today, because there was a different form of entertainment on the TSC patio, a juggler. A very coordinated juggler (as jugglers mostly are coordinated, but this one especially, and I probably pick out this specific trait, because it is one I clearly lack.) Anyway, he was juggling these amazingly obnoxious neon bowling pins, and was very focused. I was very impressed. So my Friday was complete with a little bit of entertainment at least. I am so tired lately! It's lame. Today I like fell asleep while Tori was doing homework, and I was trying to do homework before lunch and Psychology. Bah. It was bad. I have a test on Monday, so I need to study. I'll devote tomorrow to that though. Me and Tori didn't get to work out today, which was lame, but oh well. I will probably go tomorrow morning, whether or not she joins me. No Nick sightings today, but Sierra and Maddison saw him. Which was good at least. I am terrified of the Swine Flu, haha. I can't live here anymore. It's killing me. I like almost had a mental breakdown. Bah. Oh well. It will be okayy. I hate germs even more now. We went to the 3 dollar movie tonight, and saw Surrogates. It was actually pretty good. Kind of a creepy concept, but I liked the movie. I'll add it to my list for Cam. Maybe. Haha it was weird, so Idk if he will like it. Now we are just hanging out in the common room, not doing anything really. I will probably be going to bed here soon, but Idk where Tori disappeared to. Hmmm. Oh well. If she wants to gallavant around with Lissy, so be it. :] My family is coming up tomorrow and we're going to dinner! Yay! Real dinner. :]

Tonight's blog is going to be short and sweet because I was up late trying to figure out stupid registration stuff. But that is all finished now, so yay. Today was actually a really great day. :] I went to institute, saw Drew, who acted like a jerk, and therefore cleared himself from my mind. Then I went to ASL,and King was gone, so Jon taught, which is always a plus. Then after class I sat around and talked with Tracy and Jon, and this kid named Nick. And guess what. I found Laura. The girl from kindergarten who sparked my whole interest in the Deaf world. Excitement I know. It's great. :] We are friends on Facebook, and have been chatting throughout the day. Super cool. :] And then I went to the Library, got some homework done, came home cleaned my room, then me and Tesha went to the Marketplace together. Which was pretty great. No boyfriend though. :[ Oh well. Then I went to DESA, where we played a hand shape game, Amy gave us a hand shape, and we had to think of all the signs we could that incorporated that hand shape. It was fun. Me, Tracy, and Nate won, because Jon cheated. Go us. :] Then they made me and Tracy DESA officers. :] So, today was a really great day. Woo. Now I'm going to bed, cuz I have to wake up in like five hours. Booo.

Bah. Wednesdays. Let's see, I was up at the crack of dawn to trudge across campus to my English class, where I accomplished pretty much absolutely nothing. Ha. I hate that class. A lot. Then I went to Biology, and pretty much fell asleep. It was soo boring. Like I wanted to die. Haha. Then I went to ASL Lab, and Jon was sick, so the kid that I always see at DESA was there, but Idk his name. Haha. I will learn it. He's funny. And he speaks well, and I think he may have a hearing aid. Anyway. Then we went to the Marketplace and just hung out and ate for a while. I must admit, I have become slightly stalkerish towards this kid. I know his name now though, Nick. :] He is so attractive. Soooooooo. I'm determined to talk to him. So I stalked him at lunch, and then came home and tried to sleep. I ended up just watching Glee, and being really ornery cuz I couldn't sleep. So then I tried again, and finally got a little bit of sleep. Until the efffing runnning club. I hated running before, but now, rage. They had their weekly meeting or whatever, right below my window, and I swear that they just all felt the need to scream every blasted word they said. I was so annoyed. So my nap was over before I was really ready for it to be over. Oh well. I'm going to bed earlier tonight, and maybe, might take a Melatonin. Ha. Anyway, we went to dinner at the Marketplace, and Nick was there again. Of course. :] I walked like inches from him though, and he smells so good. :] Haha I'm such a creep. But it was fun. We just hung out for a long while, me, April, and Sierra. We were laughing pretty hard. Now I'm home, doing nothing, when I should be doing homework stuff. Ha. But oh well. I'm kinda dreading tomorrow, cuz I will be forced to see Drew. Bah. Which could potentially be very awkward. We will just have to see. Maddison is asking me church questions again, this time I don't have Cam to ask. He loved helping. :/ Oh well. I need his address anyone reading this! I think me and Tori are taking a night off of working out. Ha. We deserve just one a week right? She is on this weird thing where she wants to try epicate. Sick. That nasty stuff that makes you throw up for no reason. She's a freak. I don't know about you, but I don't really get a kick out of barfing everything I had previously eaten out for fun. Woo. Party thrill.

Today was alright I guess. Ha. Just a regular old Tuesday. My Bio Lab class was extremely boring, like always, and today it almsot took the whole time! I sat there just learning all about different types of fungi and mold. Quality way to spend my time. But the very best part, are you ready for this? My Bio teacher was like "Oh class, remember how I told you never to eat in this classroom? Well these little dishes of toxic mold were open for only a couple of seconds, and they spread to the dishes down the other side of the counter. So case and point." And she continued on with her lesson. Bah. I sat there, silently freaking out about how the stupid TA was going to kill us all, and it was going to be with mold, and how highly appropriate way to die that was for me. Then I came home, went to the Marketplace with my roommates, and then headed off to ASL. Sign Language was semi boring today. We learned classifiers, and I was super bored. Ha. But Dr. King picked on me again. Gah. But oh well. I'm learning. :] After ASL I came home, and did a little bit of homework, then watched an episode of Glee before going to dinner. I like am in love with that show. It makes me laugh so hard. It's like let's all just watch a bunch of angsty teenagers with social disorders sing and perform on stage. Top that off with some whacked out adults, who can't escape high school or the past lives that haunt them, and wahla, you have something great. :] Then we went to the Marketplace again. Ha. I just love how we eat there so very much. But, I saw the hottest kid ever again. I see him there like daily, and I just love to stare, but I'm getting sick of staring. So I told everyone today, that he was what I wanted for my birthday. :] Haha they all think I'm so weird, but I don't care. I guess he is in Sierra's math class, and I told her to tell him that her roommate wanted him for her birthday. She said no, and that I was a freak. But I'm going to get her to get me at least his name. :] That is enough for now. Tori wants his best friend, so it would work out splendidly. Oh, and his body is like a Greek God. But that doesn't really weigh my vote in his direction much, if at all. He's a football player as well. :] Then me and Tori went on an adventure to look at new apartments. We went to two, and the second one we went to is so adorable! We looked at the outside when we were up here looking at apartments, but not the inside. I absolutely love it. :] If I make the ATeam, and have to be up here this summer, I'm totally living there. If not next semester. We will just have to see. :] It's cheaper than the LLC, and I would probably live shared with Tori anyway. After that, me and Tori went and worked out. Now we're watching Pearl Harbor. I have class early tomorrow however, so I'm probably just going to go to bed. I heard from Drew. Kinda. I chatted him on facebook, so I know he is alive at least. We will see. He said he would talk to me soon, and idk if he means Thursday in institute soon, or he will actually make some effort here. Deric said I would probably be haning out with him real soon, but part of me thinks he was just saying that cuz he's like that. Oh well. You're so beautiful it hurts. I love this movie.
