The lack of posts, blame Troy. Whenever I'm with him I get so distracted, and neglect the blog. So, send your hate mail to his house, not mine. :] So I'll just give you a quick little update on the weekend that I got to enjoy. Friday. Was my mother's birthday, so happy birthday to her. :] They left me up in the arctic and went to the Cheesecake Factory, and saw Avatar. But that's okay. :] Me and Tori had some adventures, trying to get her inspection on her car done, and making a lovely trip to Wal-Mart to buy food for dinner for our boys. We ran out of time however, so we ended up arriving after the boys at Tori's apartment. :] But it didn't matter, because we were together. Aww. Haha. Anyway, Tori made a lovely dinner for us all, and then we hung out and watched movie. It was really great. :] I was just glad to get to see Troy!
Saturday we slept like all day. Ha. Just kidding, but almost. We went to Fredrico's to get pizza for lunch, and that was the place that I went with Dain and his family when I came to Logan right around my sixteenth birthday with Jennifer and her family. That was a fun trip. I learned a lot. :] Haha anyway, the pizza was good. We then went to Wal-Mart, again of course. We have a need to go there daily, that I just don't understand! :] Then we had a homework party, and I felt bad cuz Troy didn't really have much to do....but oh well. :] He lived. After our little study-fest we went to the basketball game. It was really fun. :] I love the basketball games, and it was fun with Troy, Tori, and Hadley. Jessica (my roommate) joined us, which was good, and so did Logan, Troy's friend from the mission who goes up here.
These are all just pretty boring details of the weekend, but hey, I have to remember some of the stuff I did while at college years from now.
Overall, it was just really great. :] I'm really glad that Troy got to come up here, cuz with everything last week, I just wanted to see him. And it was perfect. Five days, and then I'll be back home. That's like less than half of what we did last time. Haha. I like him. :]
As for school, I start my observations this week, and I'm a little bit scared. Ha. I'm not entirely sure how I'm supposed to go about doing them, and what I need to be doing. So I'll have to talk to April when she gets home from work.
I love Tori. She is just my best friend. :] We're together right now course, and it's been a really funny weekend. I'm confident our boyfriends think we're psychotic.
That's about all I have right now. This is really all I can think about....so this blog post kinda lacks. Sorry. :]

N-E-R-D-A-L-E-R-T
So, I'm going to come right on out and admit it.
I'm a total nerd.
This is why.
Grandma and Grandpa Yager gave me this book for Christmas, called Eats Shoots and Leaves. It's a book all about punctuation. Yes P-U-N-C-T-U-A-T-I-O-N. Like it really is. I'm reading it entirely by choice, and well because my lovely grandparents introduced it to me. But I absolutely love it. I have written all over the pages, underlined things, and have laughed out loud. It makes me feel okayy about the love I have for punctuation, and although it has always been secret, it's been my crush. :] I correct everyone's punctuational mistakes, just not always out loud. :] So I brought this lovely book with me to the Marketplace around dinner, along with my lovely mechanical pencil. I was alone however at dinner. So, total nerd, sitting alone, reading out of her punctuation book, marking things she likes. Yeahh........
Second nerdy moment.
Tori and April were struggling with this extremely hard math problem. It was a story problem, that was pretty difficult. They finally turned to me (interrupting my punctuation book) and asked me to see if I could figure it out. At first, I could not. It was really weird, and difficult. But I refused to give up. :] So I sat here for like twenty minutes, plugging numbers in, doing everything in my head, writing random things down, and they were all kind of watching me. It probably is pretty entertaining to watch, seeing as I like talk to myself, and yeah. But anyway, I'm working on this problem, and then guess what happens. I figure it out. :] All in my head, with my own brain. :] I was so proud of myself. As were they.
It was a great accomplishment.
And, it made me really miss math classes.

Wednesdays are always better. Technically it's Thursday.
Happy hump day everyone.
I had a pretty scary run in tonight. I went to the play Annie tonight for my Creative Arts class. After I left, I was walking down this super creepy alley way towards the random parking lot that I wasn't exactly sure I could remember where it was. Now, I live in Logan. It's cold here, which means at night, it gets creepy foggy. Like creepy. So I'm walking along, in heels and a skirt, all alone, down a scary alley, in the fog. Got that image in your mind? Kind of like a scary movie, where the character your'e watching, surely dies. So I'm about halfway, and I'm thinking I'm going to be fine. Stop freaking out. Wrong. Guess what happens? I realize, I'm walking right past this bar. Before I can do anything else, a group of drunk guys comes out of the door. Right around me. I'm now, in the middle of these people. (Mind you, it was probably stupid to be by myself. I'm aware.) You could say I was a little more frightenend. I just tried to continue walking, and avoiding touching any of them. I managed that. I didn't, no, couldn't escape their cat calls and comments however. And that made me a little more terrified. I thought right then and there, that I was going to be raped and killed by these men. I was slightly freaked. After a minute or so, they gave up, and became fascinated by something else, so I was able to scurry off to my car. I didn't walk too fast, or draw attention to the fear I was feeling however. That probably saved me. Cuz as soon as I got to my car, I was shaking so bad, and couldn't get out of the parking lot fast enough.
Stupid Logan fog. It makes everything so scary.
I seriously need to go to bed now. I have to finish my paper before classes tomorrow. :/
But, one day closer to the weekend. We're going to make it folks. Just a couple more days.
Jan 26 2010
I parked on the second floor, by elevator A. Don't let me forget. I always forget when I park by elevator A.
You know when you think you are going to have a good week, and everything is going better than you thought, things are looking up, all that jazz? I was experiencing these feelings. Until Tuesday. (Which is today.) Idk what it was about today, but it just really was not that great.
Straight school for a really long time. Lots of homework. Stress about this paper that neither me or Tori have any clue how to write. Exhaustion. That has become my word of the day. Physically, mentally, everythingally. I hate that a long day, where you are strung out, loaded down, and stressed makes everything else you had lined up, go wrong. I now have reservations. I now have fears. I'm now paranoid. I'm freaking out about little things. It's so frustrating.
Days like today make me want to quit.
I'm determined to make tomorrow better, and make everything go swell. I have to make it to the weekend, happy, and in one piece. That is my main focus as of now.
My list for the week is slowly shrinking. Hopefully, it won't grow in the next few days. I just need to breathe.
We're doing great at our workout video. Ha. It's not kicking our butts quite like it was at first, and I can almost do every single lunge. We're going to perfect if before we move on to the next level. Which will hopefully be by the end of this week.
I'm excited for this weekend. It should be good just to be able to hang out, and not have to worry about doing anything. I have planned to get everything done by Friday. Me and Tori just need some hang out time.
Boys included.
I'm sure you have all noticed, but I'm into this whole pushing enter after certain lines in the blog. I have no idea where it came from, and why I'm doing it. But oh well, it's working.
I got to talk to Parker today. She text me to see what was up. I feel bad, she's dying at home. I wish we could switch lives every once in a while, so we could both just get the best of both worlds. She is so great. She always knows what to say when I'm freaking out, and bring me back to earth. I repeat her words to myself when I overthink and overanalyze. :]
Exhaustion needs to be put to rest.
Jan 24 2010
Today was a good day. I slept late. Went to church. Got lots done. Got a Patriarchal Blessing. Had some dinner brought to me. Relaxed. Watched football. Talked to Troy. Did laundry. Watched TV. Overall, successful day.
The Blessing went well. :] It was really cool. Different than I expected, but it was still really good. I'm Ephriam. :] And I'm getting married, so we can all stop worrying about that. At least we know it's going to happen, eventually. :] It also talked about a mission, which was interesting to me. But I really enjoyed it, and thought it was a really cool spiritual experience. It was good to have my whole family there as well.
Since that was the most exciting thing that happened today, I'm about out of things to say.
I'm looking up. I'm feeling good now. I know I can make it through this week, this semester, life as a whole. I have faith. :] Lots has changed. Some for the better, some for the not so better. But I'm taking the changes as they come, and working them into my day to day. I have come a long way, at least I think. I'm happy with myself. :]
I believe this week will go fast.
Let's hope.
Troy is coming up this weekend.
It better fly.
Jan 23 2010
THIS IS THE ONE HUNDRETH BLOG POST!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations, I made it. :]
Today was a pretty boring Saturday. I got to sleep in, after we had our giant sleepover in the front room. (me, Tori and April) I tried to get a little bit of homework done, but Troy was distracting me, so I didn't get very far. :] But that's okay. I didn't mind. We then made a trip to WalMart, and got some shopping done. :] We attended the USU hockey game tonight as well, me, Tori, Jordan, and Kallin then watched Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. It was just as cute as the first time.
That was my day in a nut shell.
I'm terrified for tomorrow. I can't explain it. I'm very excited, because it is such an important deal. But I'm really nervous. We will see I guess. You will hear about it. :]
I'm doing better than I thought I would be. So that is very good. I just really wish two things.
A) I were home.
B) I were home.
I want a hug. I want to talk to Troy. I want to make sure our house is clean. I want to see that my sisters are actually eating, and getting their school stuff done.
But I'm not. And I can't really do those things anymore. Which sucks a lot, but it's going to all work out. It will. :]
We're starting a new week tomorrow.
I think I can take on one more. :]
Jan 22 2010
I made it to Friday.
But Friday almost killed me.
I am the most fortunate girl on the whole planet though. This is why.
I have two amazing best friends, that will do anything for me. They are the greatest strongest two girls I know, and I don't know how I ended up with them. I had to have done something to deserve them, and I don't know what it was. I love you both, forever and always. :]
I have an awesome father, who puts up with all of his girls and the crap we give him. He's an amazing provider, and has given us everything we need and more.
Thanks daddy. :]
My two sisters are great. They are so strong, and have been so supportive and obedient. They put up with a hard life, and I'm grateful for them. Ohh I just love you two. Red and Cork. :]
Troy. He is great, and listens to everything I say, no matter how mindless and stupid. I'm lucky to have him. He's an amazing person, with an amazing spirit. I'm grateful my mother set us up. :]
My mom. She struggles. And although I'm not always happy with her choices, she has done a lot for me and my sisters. I have seen the real her, we all have. I pray that she makes it through this. I want my mom back. I love her.
I have come to realize a lot in my life. I have been through a lot. When Friday came today, I didn't think I was ready. I didn't know how to react. What to feel. What to say. I was afraid for this day to come.
It came.
And, I'm not afraid anymore.
I know, that someway, somehow, this will all be okay. I know it will be. I have an amazing example as an elder brother. Having him in my life, makes me the luckiest of all. If he can deal with this pain, and so much more, I know that I can. I know I can. We can. As a family, we can be strong. Together, we can do anything. We're The Pages.
Jan 21 2010
This part of my life, I like to call The Grind.
I was doing school today, from eleven, to eight thirty. Are you aware of how long that is? And, I didn't even get everything I was supposed to done. I'm not joking around when I say this semester is intense. But I'm actually learning to like it. I don't have time to just sit around and waste money, or stare at facebook or do other things that aren't as productive. I'm not watching any TV, so I'm not seeing all those awful things. :] It's actually been a blessing, so I'm going to take advantage of it I guess, and say that the craziness of this semester, has actually been really good for me.
I just enjoy the breaks, when I get to go home, and live my other life, where I have nothing to do but relax, and see my family, and Troy. I still like life number two better, but I'm appreciative of life number one.
You will never guess who I saw again today. Oh yes, that's correct. The David. HOWEVER guess what he did today? Said "WHITNEY! HI!! How are you?" Now, he wants to talk to me? But I'm so above that, and I answered his questions, and was very polite.
So much for my causing great embarrassment. It just wasn't worth it. We attempted to go to the Temple today, but they were closed for cleaning. I'm quite confident, I just heard gunshots. And I know I'm not the only one, cuz I saw some lights go on in Building A, and someone got out of bed here. Well..........let's hope I make it through the night. I just got off the phone with Troy. I'm actually learning to enjoy phone conversations. I know I'm so behind, because talking on the phone is like so sixth grade, but I don't care. I'm used to it now, and I like being able to actually hear him. Jordan is coming up tomorrow, so me and Tori are going to have to find something to entertain him with.....I personally want to spend the weekend sleeping. But that is so not going to fly, because Tori is little miss social butterfly, and wants more friends, so we get invited to Birthday parties and such. Which reminds me of a story about my dear Tori. Today, since we spend about nineteen hours out of the day together, we were walking across campus, and there was slush all over the sidewalks. (We live in Logan, and our snow sticks. And stays. For a long time.) So we were walking in this particularly slushy area of cement, both slowing so we don't get too wet (I've already experienced that.) and so we don't fall. When what happens? This random man, comes out of no where, and full on sprints right next to Tori through the slush. This action, caused the slush to lift from it's place on the ground, and collide with Tori's legs, arms, and boots. It was the funnniest thing I had seen all day. I couldn't stop laughing. It was great. Me and Tori have been having a lot of these moments lately. Moments where people stare as they walk by, because the two of us are bent over in hysterics at some stupid story we created, or something dumb one of us said. It's so great, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm so lucky.
Jan 20 2010
I have one very devastating story to share with you all today. Everyone remembers The David correct? Well, I saw him today. This is how it played out.
I'm walking along, listening to my ipod, thinking about my ToDo list, and how weird the kid that just walked by was.
I look up, and see The David coming up the sidewalk to my left, and there is a girl about a foot or so to his left, walking with him.
Me and The David make eye contact.
I smile, and say hi.
The David does nothing, puts his arm around the girl, and pulls her in nice and close and smirks at me.
Ask me how I felt.
Jerk! I was only trying to be nice to him. And what does he do? Flip. I was so mad. I stopped walking right there in the middle of the sidewalk and was seriously shocked. What did he think I was like obsessed with him and was fallling at his feet? We went on one date! And it wasn't even really a date. Bahhh. I thought we were FRIENDS. Apparently girls cannot have friends that are guys these days. When I talked to Troy on the phone, he mentioned the missionaries that can't get out of the misssion, and they talk about the mission all the time and can't stop thinking about it. The David is one of these people. It's been driving me crazy all day, and I can't wait until the next time I see him. I haven't exactly thought out what I'm going to do, but it will be dramatic and probably cause him great embarrassment. I just was completely shocked that he did that. It's not like I care about him, or this girl. I'm glad he is dating her......or whatever. We had NOTHING. I thought we were Biology friends. Anyway. Guess what I bought today? A GIGANTIC jar of pickles. The thing is huge. But it was a wayy great price, and I love pickles. But that is not even the best part of this purchase. April came home from work, and she as well stopped by WalMart sometime throughout the day. What did she pull out of her plastic grocery bag (don't worry, I'm recycling them. :] ) but a large jar of pickles to match mine. :] I took a picture of it. And although I would like to post it on here, and figure that all out, I need to be going to bed. We're going to the temple early early in the morning, and it is going to be a great long day. :] Happy hump day.
Jan 19 2010
Sometimes, you just don't have the time. Today, was one of those times. I was running everywhere. I had classes straight from eleven to four, then a meeting with the Education people. So I was doing school until about five, then began homework. I just finished. :] I love this. It's so splendid. Those are the boring details of my day, with nothing really exciting intertwined. I found out tonight that I'm going to be getting my Patriarchal Blessing on Sunday. I'm extremely excited. But, nervous as well. I'm terrified it's going to say something scary. Which I know, the odds of that are like a million to one. But still. We will see I guess. It's exciting. :] Things are getting crazier and crazier, and I feel like my life has hit a superspeed button I didn't know existed. It's quite annoying. I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing, and it's making me kind of nervous. I just wish that there were a way for me to know exactly how everything was going to play out. What I was going to do this summer, how I was going to work, what I need to be doing, and the list goes on. But it's not going to happen, and I know this. But I can still wish right? I'm really exhausted, and have to wake up at six thrity to work out with Tori. We'll see how this goes. I talked to Troy on the phone earlier, and then I distracted him from his Chemistry on facebook. I'm awful. There is nothing to update there, we're in different cities. I look forward to the end of this week.
Jan 18 2010
My bad. I went home, and well, you all know how well I do at this when I'm home. Especially with my lack of time lately, and the distractions. :] Friday was a reallly long day. I felt like classes took forever, probably because I was so anxious to get home. But in my Creative Arts class, the teacher had me laughing so hard. She reminds me a lot of Grandma Judy, her personality, and the way she talks. She's adorable. But she was doing this demonstration, and someone dissed one of the kids on stage, and she broke into a full on "Ohhhhhh Shnnappp" right there on stage. She even bent over, and put her hand to her mouth. No joke. It was one of the funniest things I had ever seen in my life. The whole class was laughing. It was great. In ASL I actually talked with Tracy's roommate Emily, who is in my class, and who I didn't really get along with before. But I hung out with her, Tracy, and Nate before class, and that was fun. We will hopefully become friends. :] No offense, but I want friends that can sign. :] Me and Tori then ventured homeward. :] It was quite the trip, as it always is, and we were laughing the whole way. I decided however, I'm taking on a new project. Because it is so cold here, cold enough to see your nose breath according to Tori, I want to save the farm animals. I mean, there are tons of them just standing outside, freezing. We're going to round them all up, and put them in the Spectrum for the winter, to keep warm. :] It's a great project, and is going to be widely accepted through campus. I saw Parker and Ben, and we went to Zupa's together. I jjust love those two. :] Parker is a very good friend. After that, drum role, I saw Troy! :] He came and picked me up, and then we went to watch a movie at his house. I was very impressed however, cuz we went to Hollywood, and I thought this was going to be quite the task, picking out a movie. But we were in there for like five minutes tops, cuz he already knew what he wanted to watch. :] It was a great choice too, cuz we watched Clue. I had never seen it, and it's my very favorite boardgame, and I loved it. Recommended. Saturday was spent mostly with Tori, and we had a blast. :] We may have frightened Hadley, but it was really great. I just love her. That night we went on a double, and Troy dominated in bowling. Luckily I beat Tori both times, so I guess I didn't do terrible. But it was really fun. We went to Tori's and watched a couple of movies afterwards. (See, more movies. My life is just filled with them. It's great.) Troy caused some drama on Sunday. Okay so not exactly drama, but he did cause some conversation. We both went to the home ward, and he sat next to me and my dad in Sunday School. That got people to talk in Relief Society. I'm totally used to it of course, and it doesn't even bother me anymore, I just hope he realizes what he's getting himself into. :] I told him this, and he laughed. He doesn't know I'm serious. Oh well. :] Today is now Monday. And I'm all the way back in Logan, and not quite happy about it. It was really really hard to leave. :/ I am sad about it. But there really isn't anything I can do about it. But this is the blog, and this is where my thoughts go. And those are my thoughts. I just don't feel that into school all of a sudden. I know I'm supposed to be here, and this is what I want in the long run. But right now, it just feels more like a chore than how I want it to be. Hopefully things will get better this week, and I will get back into the swing of things. I'm hoping that's all I need, and then everything will go back to normal. :] I miss family though. And Troy. Luckily, I have Tori. It's late, and we're both exhausted. This was a boring catch up post.
Jan 14 2010
Oh the joys of the blog. I love this thing, I don't care how much crap it takes. :] I like being able to share whatever comes into my head at any given time throughout the day. :] Speaking of that, today I did something I thought was very smart. I created a "BLOGWORTHY" list on a index card. :] All day long, I have been writing things down I didn't want to leave behind for only me to remember. So let's get started. Today was reallllly long. As I have already established T/TH classes are really long. But they are slowly starting to grow on me. I reallly like my institute class, and love that I get to share it with April and Tori. That Human Development class is also beginning to creep off my hate list. I really enjoy the professor, she cares A LOT about students, and our success. It's really great. So I'm hopefully going to suceed in that class. :] I'm becoming very positive about the semester as a whole. It's a lot of work, but I'm kind of excited about it. I got to visit the Elementary school on campus today with my ELED class. It's so cool!! I'm soo excited. I was so nervous, but now I'm actually getting really excited about becoming a teacher. Especially from USU. It is in the top 50 colleges of education in the entire country. So, this is pretty legit, seeing as there are over 1200. The DeafEd program is also among the top, so that's just the double whammy. I realized today that this is hopefully a good decision. I feel like I'm in the right place for it (obviously) and although it's going to be a challenge, seeing as young children are GERM INFESTED, I feel good about it, and like it's something I'm going to be able to do. :] I don't think the science career was right. I mean, there are few women in the field. The demand is far lower than teacher's, and although the pay is better, the negatives out weigh. I'm not a fan of the lack of religion within the scientific career field either. Scientists aren't exactly known for their devotion to Church. They are Scientists...........pretty obvious. Leaving the Elementary school today I saw my very favorite person (okay not my very favorite, but for the point of this story, he has to be very important) but it was the bicycle guy! I see him all the time on campus, and I'm sure I have mentioned him a few times in posts of the past. But he was reading while riding down 700 N. It was amazing. :] He never is riding the bike like a normal person would, but with skills that some people only can dream of possessing. His persistance in bike-trickery (even when temperatures here are well below comfortable) impresses me. :] I am fascinated by all the people I see on Campus. I know it's so creepy, but I love to watch them. :] As I walk from class to class, I make up stories about the people that surround me. The girl that sits next to me in class could be a struggling mom, who went back to school to fulfill the dreams she had before the family. The next time, her story might change slightly, by something new I happen to notice. The lack of a ring. A picture on her desktop. It's my way of revisiting a childhood imagination that I never could control. :] My newest interest is a woman in mine and Tori's Human Development class. She is an older woman, obviously farther into her life than mine. She is also slightly larger, and doesn't look like she frequently shops at Nordstroms. There is something I find so intriguing about her however. She always carries a backpack, a pink one, and a large jean "mom" bag. She always with out fail, comments on things in class, and although they are extremely simple comments, I love when she does. She is crazy polite to everyone. I can see how everyone looks at her. Judgemental. And downward. It's annoying to me. Her name is Debra. I'm determined to add to her story. After school today, I spent some more time in the Library. I'm getting a lot done before the weekend however, cuz I hate when I have homework when I go home. It's just really not fun. :/ I had to rush to a DESA meeting tonight as well. And that was good. I'm really good at receptive. I know what everyone is saying. What makes me nervous, is responding. I always do good. And they don't look at me with dazed expressions, but still, I'm so scared. Hopefully it will get better the more exposure as the semester goes on, and I get back into the swing of things. I found out tonight however, that next year, I'm in line for President/VP of the DESA club. I'm terrified. Haha I don't know what to do! We will see. :] I ate in the Marketplace all by myself tongiht. It was actually kind of nice. I don't want to do it all the time, but I love when I get nights like this. I came home, after my lovely meal in solitutde, and found myself home alone. :] I changed into sweats, got a blanket and cuddled up on the couch. :] I was exploring on my computer, trying to do some not so important class things, and Troy called. :] We talked for a really long time, and I'm confident that it was the longest phone conversation I have ever been able to hold in my entire life. Kudos. I'm so very glad I get to go home tomorrow. :] Not to be too cheesy, but it's been harder than I imagined it to be. :/ He told me the funniest story about meeting an apostle however. :] Haha they met at a urinal, at a Bee's baseball game. :] Best apostle meeting story EVER. It's awesome. I'm turning in early tonight, as soon as me and April finish the lovely Disney movie we are watching. :] Oh Selena Gomez.
Jan 13 2010
If the rest of this semester is anything like today was, I'm in for a long few months. :] I'm confident the Library will become my new best friend, and I will have my face in a book a large majority of the time. Bring it on. I'm so terrified, but I'm excited kind of too. I like my Monday Wednesday Friday classes much better however. Tuesday Thursday = murder. I'm in a really not good mood as of now. So this post is kind of pissing me off, and something I don't want to be doing. But apparently, my blog needs spicing up, so I will do my best to work on that. :] Talked to both my parents today, for the first time since being up here. Ha. But it's been hectic. I discovered my dad will be in St. George this weekend, so it will just be the girl's home. :] That is always a load of fun. I cannot wait to go home. I want to get out of here. Which is incredibley sad, because I have only been up here for three days. What happened to the love that I felt for this place? For the excitement? I want those feelings back, not these. Lame. Right now, Sierra is cooking us dinner. It smells really good. But our apartment is going to stink for two weeks. Ha. Tori is on the phone with Hadley. Of course. They are going to get married, just watch. Then I will be all alone. :/ I have to find a way to make Parker get up here. Devin just text me. Throw a cherry on top of this sundae of a day, and call it done. Cuz I know I am.
Jan 12 2010
I'm posting this blog at five thirty eight, so it's slightly earlier than all my others, but I had a spare second, and Tori is coming over to do homework later, so I didn't think anything blog worthy would happen, and I would be busy. Today was a Tuesday. And that means I attended my first day of class for Tuesday Thursday schedule. Todays events, combined with yesterday, is showing signs of a much harder semester than I imagined for myself, so I'm going to have to seriously kick it into gear. But I'm so up for it. :] I'm actually excited for a large majority of the classes, and think it will all go well. :] Funny story. Me and Tori were sitting in our FCHD 1500 class, and the professor did this demonstration with these boxes of raisins. We ate one, then the second one we had to study for a long time and "raise-in-sight." The object was to look more closely at things and see them for the small details that are usually overlooked. Good demonstration. However, after her whole spill, she told the class to pass the boxes of raisins back in, so she could use them again for her next class. I'm confident, my face was priceless. I almost started to cry. She laughed and told us she was joking, but I was mortified. Haha sooo not a funny joke to play on me. Tori was laughing so hard. It was just great. I managed to embarrass myself yet again in that class, when I was answering a question with my iclicker, i flung it out of my hand, down the aisle, where it burst open and the batteries went flying. The undergrad assistant was distracted by this, and made the entire class stop paying attention, just so she could announce what had happened. 75 pairs of eyes then burned holes in the girl in the pink sweatshirt. Awesome. Again, Tori was laughing her guts out. After this class, I have my ELED class. Guess where it is located? Across campus. And I'm not just saying that for dramatic effect, the buildings are seriously on the two outer corners of campus, as far away as you can get from one another. I have fifteen minutes to make the trek. I have never walked so fast in my life. I tried to justify it, and act like I was freezing the whole way there, giving my rush a legit excuse, but I don't think I can pull that off every day. It's going to be an adventure. Troy gets to the read the blog P.S. I said what they heck, and figured it wouldn't hurt. I hope. :/ I recieved some great news today. Courtney will not be killing Bonnie, who I accidentally neglected and forgot at home before I trekked up to Logann. So at least I know I won't be having a fish funeral to add to the new "TODO" gadget I put on the desktop. Phew. As of now, I have to go finish a 200 question quiz on my Creative Arts teacher's syllabus. Really? I'm confident that a 200 quiz on your SYLLABUS is not necessary. I know I have basically drilled this topic into the ground, but I cannot get over how weird it is with only the four of us in the apartment. I think Jessica is in her room right now......but that doesn't exactly count, seeing as that is where she always is. So I haver technically been home alone for like almost three hours. That is a long time. I don't think I was ever home alone last semester. It's eerie. Idk what to do with myself. Oh well. I cleaned the fridge today. It was grossing me out, and that's not goood. Especially when everytime you're being grossed out, you had to have opened the fridge, meaning you were hungry, but now you're appetite is completely gone cuz of the being grossed out. So I solved this problem. :] I will update you tomorrow if anything exciting happnes tonight. Which it won't. Unless homework was suddenly updated as an exciting event and someone forgot to inform me. :/

Today was the first day back of classes. And I feel like it actually went alright. I got everywhere on time, had a place to sit. Success. I'm just really excited for this weekend. I just have to make it through this semester, and get the grades I need. Then everything will be great. :] I also need a check from Christian......money is tight. :/ But it will all work itself out. Eventually. I have to get my Patriarchal blessing here soon! I'm very excited, and calling the Patriarch is on my list of things to do. Still trying to wind down from the crazy stress of the weekend, but I'm doing better. Everything is coming together, slowly, but surely. I'm really tired. I forgot how hard this whole school day thing was. All of my classes went really well, and I was able to keep up in ASL 2 no problem, which I was nervous for, because it has been so long. Oh my. We have a problem. Troy just asked if he will ever be able to read the blog. Yeahh. This just got interesting. Maybe. Anyhow, we went to the basketball game tonight, and it was really fun. We totally killed Hawaii, and we hung out with Tori's new roommate, Lauren, and I really like her. :] We had fun, I was totally on one, and it was great. :] I'm excited to get to know her, and hang out with her. We had quite the adventure in Wal-Mart. That's all for tonight. I have to go sift through blog posts to make a decision about Troy.......oh blog. Why.
Jan 10 2010
Alright, so I'm officially back on schedule, and will from now on stop lacking on my blog posts. It has been quite the week, and I have been stressed out to the maximum, and I don't really even know why. Hopefully I will get everything figured out after Tuesday, (cuz then I will have gone to the first day of all my classes) and it will all be normal again. Today was my moving day. I went to Troy Hooper's farewell with Parker first. That was interesting. We sat in the back, by all his friends, and wow. They are so obnoxious and bad. It's crazy. I'm so proud of Troy for being able to go on a mission! He is a really great example to all those folks. I'm glad. After Troy's thing, I had to hurry home and get all my junk into my car. I had wayy too much stuff, and not enough car. :/ But I got it all to fit, and safely made my way to Logan. The drive was loonnnggg and boring. It was so sad to leave though. I have been so consumed with everything this week, Troy (Butterfield now, not Hooper.) and the Bridal Show and friends, and family. I have just been trying to please everyone, failed, and so now I'm stressed about it. I wish there were eight of me to do everything I want to. I feel bad that I didn't get to spend the time with my family that I wanted right before I left, like play games again. It's weird, how when school and life starts again after all the holidays, that fun family time that we got together just like goes away. It's unfortunate. I didn't get to go to Gma and Gpa Yager's and see their new house, but I'm hoping to make it there next weekend. I was just so stressed, that I wouldn't have enjoyed it, and I didn't want to make awkward tension. Jennifer and Melissa also wanted to hang out, and Parker. And The Boyfriend (April's new official name for Troy, that I'm forced to refer to him as) also needs some attention. AAAHHHHH. It's crazy. On top of all that, I was moving, which I never handle well, and trying to start a semester of school. I'm at full anxiety level. But this week will all work out, and it will be good. I'm going home next weekend, so I'll be able to give some more time to people. It's just madness. But now I'm in Logan, and it's as great as ever. :] As of now, no new roommates have moved in. We are just the four of us, all alone. :/ It's kinda weird. I'm right by an empty ghost bedroom. Freeaky. But it's actually kinda nice, cuz there is a lot more space in the fridge, and cupboards. :] Big fan of that. I was so excited to April!!! I'm so happy to be in her lovely company again. :] She is so funny, and I missed her personality. It's really great. She is my favorite roommate, and I think over this next semester we will get super close. :] We're both hanging out in the front room right now, just the two of us. It will be interesting however, because Sierra will be like a tag along. So we will see I guess.......Alright, so you may have guessed from earlier in the blog, that Troy is now officially my boyfriend. Riggghht. It's good. But it's totally going to be super interesting. We will see. I'm happy though. But it is a new lifestyle and we will just see how I rock it. :] I got a letter from Jake Porter today, but nothing from Cam. Hmmm we will see. Classes tomorrow. :/

This is the first blog post coming at you live from Smart Cookie. :] I figured since the store was closed, I would take advantage of the free wifi really quickly, and get a blog post in. :] Seeing as, I have kinda left everyone in the dark about my life around these parts lately. I'm pretty sure, I practically have myself a boyfriend. Troy has seen me everyday since last Tuesday, so yeahh. (If you're super angry about the lack of blogging, he's to blame. But if you follow this that much.....that's kinda creepy.) But yes. :] Yesterday me and Parker spent some more time in his new apartment, and got to meet all his roommates. They are way cool (and dashingly handsome. :] but those are Parker's words...not mine.) But it was really fun. We just watched some TV like always, and then made a quick trip to Smart Cookie cuz they wanted something sweet. It was good. :] Troy saw me drive for the first time. Ha. I think that was an adventure for him, especially because we were in a slight hurry. I have officially almost completed my giant itunes project, and it has taken me FOREVER. But I got lots done at work tonight, and just have like 8 CDs left to transfer over, so no big deal. :] It's been great. Today me and Parker ran all sorts of errands around town, and I went to the high school for the first time. It was.......interesting. It sure has gone down hill. But it was cool to see a couple of people that I knew. Am I ever going to go back, No. But hey, you gotta try it once. :] Then I finished off a shift at Smart Cookie, and Troy came in for a little visit. :] I'm getting so excited for the Bridal Show tomorrow, it's going to be awesome. I have to be up SUPER early however, so I'm going to close this off, and get home and get to bed.

Okay, so I may have neglected the posts in recent times. I’m extremely sorry, but I’ve been distracted. Today marked the one week of me and Troy hanging out. Yes, I saw him every day for a whole week. I can’t exactly remember what has happened when, so I will simply update you on things I find important. (In other words, I’ll just be telling you the random things I remember doing) Me and Troy have spent lots of time just hanging out at his house, watching football games and Sports Center. :] It’s my favorite, and luckily he doesn’t mind. (Which is probably what most people would find bizarre about me.) I finally met his brother Kyle, and I really like him. He’s super cool, and funny. I think both him and Jeff like me, so that is a definite plus. :] We went and Sherlock Holmes with the two of them, and it was as good as I hoped it would be! Oh I just love Robert Downing Jr., almost as much as my dear Mark Wahlberg. I haven’t seen much of Tori, we have talked like every day on the phone however. I cannot wait to go to Logan. Cannot wait. I miss all of it so much! But I will miss being home, with family, and Troy. So yeah. Me, Jennifer, Melissa, and Parker all went to dinner tonight, and it was really fun. We ate at the Training Table, and just talked. :] It was great. I’ll hopefully see a lot of them this week. :] We stopped by Troy’s new apartment as well, and I’m sure I’ll be there a couple of times before I leave too. We met one of his roommates, and Parker thought he was super cute, so she wants to visit again. :] We will see I guess. I started the ever so difficult feat of trying to transport my itunes on my home computer to my laptop, and it is quite the job. Ha. But I’m hopefully going to finish it tomorrow sometime. I work tomorrow morning, the counter shift, so no big deal. It’s almost the Bridal Show! :] So excited. I’ll try to be better about this. I promise. Once the schedule starts again, all should be well in the blog world. Until then. :]

First blog post of the new year everyone. Remember this, because 2010 is going to be grand. Let's review the happenings of the last couple of days. My New Years Eve was actually good! For the first time in like forever. This is the year of changes. :] I went over to the Johnson's house with my parents, and ate dinner there with a bunch of friends from the neighborhood. Caitlyn went to Cyler's, and Courtney went over to Jordan's. So, all three of us eventually ended up hanging out with a boy. Aren't we just hot items? HA. Anyhow, so I ate dinner there, and had lots of fun. I really like the Howard's, their little girls are adorable, and just love me. :] After that, Troy came and got me, and we went to Tori Hall's, and hung out with her and Hadley. It was really fun. :] I was slightly awkward however, because Jordan (Tori's older brother/best friend) got home from his mission that day, and it was just weird. I felt bad. But I think it all worked out, and hopefully I'll get to meet Jordan in a different situation next semester, and we can be great friends. :] The four of us (Troy, Hadley, Tori, and myself) watched the Bourne Ulimatum and I barely made it to midnight. But I did. :] I worked the next morning, and that was a treat. :] Me and Tori Creighton had a grand old time. We were both so exhausted from the activities of the night before, that everything was hilarious. Luckily we got out pretty early, and didn't have too many problems. :] After I got off work, we ventured up to Bountiful for the Page's Game Party. Me and Caitlyn drove separately, and so after dinner and a couple of games, we headed back home, and I went to Troy's. We didnt' do much, cuz I was so exhausted and ornery. Ha. But it was still fun. :] I met his brother Jeff (who actually, isn't so bad.) And that was an adventure. I'm getting their names and what not down. :] I'm so impressive. Now I'm taking Courtney to the mall. Woooo.
