Don't Take This Wrong!!!!!

Song of the blog: Mouthwash_ Kate Nash

Today I was studying for my Humanities test, and I think it should be fairly easy. But while I was studying, I fell asleep. I had a dream that I was taking pictures of a little girl eating her first oreo. I woke up thinking, being a mom is going to rock.

Now since I know that someone is going to read this and think, "Uh oh." Fear not. This does not appear in my dreamscape for YEARS. Just because I don't want kids for a really long time, does not mean I never want them. Someday I will. And when that day comes, it will be fun. Right now is fun enough. haha

I think I will the kind of mom who constantly taking pictures of her kids. I mean, at a constant rate. I will need to invest in a good camera. I don't like scrapbooking very much, but in my dream I had a website dedicated to family memories. I know because I took a picture of the cookie and Lorilie apart first, so I could photoshop them into like a "v.s" thing. It all seems very silly to me now that I am awake, but in my dream I thought it was way cool. hahaha I think I will be all about recording their first experiences. Every one. First time sitting in grass. First time seeing an animal. First time on a swing set. First day of school, every year until they graduate. First time bowling. First time seeing the stars. I'll film that one. I am realizing lately how much I miss the stars. There aren't really any here. Stars are a wonderful part of life.

I think I will be crazy. I will have so much fun playing with my kids that when they are being loud and playing around the house you will not see me telling them to be quiet. Chances are I started it. hahahaha

I hope that when my kids are older, they will always come and talk to me. I want that perfect balance between friend and mom. Thats REALLY hard. But thats what I want to be. I want them to know the rules and the consequences, but also that I will love them no matter what, and if they get into trouble they can come to me for someone who will be straight with them. When they are older, I want to be their best friend as well as their mom.

I am also scared to death. I have always wondered, "What if I mess them up?" I look at my own parents and scared becomes terrified. But here is where I hope I don't make Nicole cry. When I think of the best mom I know, I think of Nicole. She is going to be all things for her kids. I see her boys and I know that they will grow up to be strong men who respect women because they respect their mother. I think of the Stripling Warriors and that if there was ever an encyclopedia picture of what they looked like as little tykes, Nicole's boys would be there. I look at little Cara and I think, "Man that girls insane! Perfect. ;D" She will never let anyone walk on her. She will be strong, and she won't settle for less than what she deserves. She won't get out their on her own and freeze like I did. She will know exactly what to do, when to do it, and how. She will probably be top of her class at every subject, including recess. haha I hope I'm not embaressing Nicole. Just had to write it. ;] I will never forget seeing Nicole play with her kids, I'll probably think of it every time I play with mine. haha I've never had a woman that I could really look to for an example of how to be, but over the years Nicole became that woman. Sorry. haha Great, I made myself cry. Bleh. Moving on.

So yeah. Weird dreams lead to weird blogs. But don't take this the wrong way anyone please??? I'm in NO hurry to have kids. Blah!!!!!

Watercooler, curly hair, and kind of a relief.

Song of the blog: Stop The World_ Demi Lovato

Thought I would put a child friendly artist on here. haha ;D

So I have water from the water cooler. It's nasty. Why am I drinking it? Because I am staharving. I forgoted my wallet at home, and so I am moneyless. And so I am foodless. Argh. I'm lucky I ate a cookie as I was leaving my apartment this morning. Otherwise I would have nothing in my stomach at all. This would fur realz suck. It fur realz sucks right now anywayz.

Another good song: Anyone Else But You_ Michael Cera and Ellen Page_ Juno Soundtrack.

I want to watch Juno now. And I have to ask, am I the only person on earth who thinks Michael Cera is hot? If I am, welp, I am in the world but not of the world in more ways. Yay.

I have curly hair today. I really don't know what is significant about that. I feel pretty. I AM pretty. Yeah.

Well here is a more substantial piece of information. I am not going to the poetry thing with Justin. I'm a little disappointed, but mostly relieved. Odd reaction? A little, but thats how life goes sometimes. I just kind of stopped wanting the flow. It no longer seems ideal. Eh. haha

In other news, my economist magazines are finally coming in, so now I can do more of the reading for my Current Events class. This is exciting. I love that class. Yay.

Last night I was in a very bad mood for some reason. Part of it was this whole thing with my academic warning. Just when I thought I was done with it, I get a voice mail saying that they hadn't realized I was  freshman and I actually need to go see ANOTHER counselor for ANOTHER meeting. This is getting REALLY annoying. I already have my appointment with Melba, my schol adviser, for today right after work, so I can show her my paperwork and get my schol money. Now I'm set back AGAIN because some people DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS A FRESHMAN!!!!! So last night I was in a bad mood. I saw that I had some cookies in the fridge that had yet to be baked, so I separated them and baked them thinking they would cheer me up. No dice. I took them out of the oven and just stared at them like, "Ugh! You aren't working!" So then I needed someone to eat them because they were just sitting there. I texted Matthew. I can always depend on him to eat my food. He probably knocked on my door 5 seconds after I texted him. haha We talked for like 3 hours about tons of random crap and then he had to go. It was like 11. haha I was feeling much better after he left. Way better. I love having good friends. So then I did my homework and went to bed.Yay.

Yummy.

Epic Win, pizza, and poetry.

Song of the blog: Creep_ Radiohead

So last night here is what went down.
4:00 Current Events, the guy next to me flirted with me the entire class, and he was cute. French major. ;D

5:00 got home and worked on my painting analysis paper, fell asleep on my bed, though I don't remember climbing up there, and then woke up when suddenly my laptop was playing boogie wonderland. What? Yeah. So I turned it off and went into the living room. It was half time of the BYU v.s San Diego game. I had slept through the first half. Ugh. So I watch it with Eliza and then Mikayla came in when there was about 5 minutes left. and she watched the rest of the game with us. Epic Win. Yes. 71 to 58 against an undefeated team. Oh yes.

I'm not sure why I put pizza in the title, but I did eat pizza today. The good kind at the creamery outlet next my office with the crust that is just perfect. Yum. Then I made everyone hungry when I came into work with it. Yesh.

Poetry: There is an open mic night at this place on Bulldog Blvd called the Coffee Pod. It has good reviews, but I'm not going for the coffee anyway. I'm going with Justin. Yeah. I'm starting though not to care where this goes with him. Is that horrible? I don't know. I'm eh about it. I just want to go to the open mic night. He's getting a car. Yeah.

Annnd Jordan is next to me speaking Spanish in an English accent. Hahahaha It's crackin me up! Oh yeah, and hopefully Friday Mr.Jordan and I will watch Cloverfield. He has to know about the flaming hobos. =D Woohoo Falamin Hobos!!

Song of the blog: Eye Of A Needle_ Brandi Carlile

So today I am... I don't know. Content, and yet not at the same time. I kinda want to go home and sleep for the rest of the day, but I can't. That sucks. I have that thought all the time though, but today it's really extra suck for some reason. I want to turn on my ipod and just be gone from the world for an entire day. Do you have any idea how behind I would be if I did that? Very. I would take some random friday off and just go to Biology and go home and do that for the rest of the day, but I know if I do that then I will be restless, and it won't be like it is right now. Not the same.

So I just took this call from a man who is being threatened with a lawsuit from his son's high school. The school recieved a transcript that only had one completed course instead of two. I understand why he is frusterated, but that understanding does NOT equal it's cool if you are incredibly rude to me. Not. So I put on my customer service nice girl voice and took care of it the best I could. I can't say what the outcome was, but it will be taken care of. I am now simply stating that if there was ever a time that I wanted to punch someone through the phone, today was that time.

Welp, it's quiten time. I know that I made no sense today, but thats ok. It happens.

Tired, Cold, Hungry, But Happy.

Song of the blog: Stolen_ Dashboard Confessional

So today was pretty good. Last night was excellent though because I finally bought my plane tickets for this summer!!! AAHHH!!!!! I'm waay too excited about this. I want to jump up and down and scream, that is how over the top this excitement is. The ticket price went up a little from the last time I looked, so I spent about 181 on the first one. I'm hoping to be able to buy my return ticket in a month or two. I fly  YAY!!!!! I even figured out what to do with my stuff. My mom and Kurtis are going to rent me a storage thingy to keep it in. The smallest they have, because I really don't have that much stuff. I need to find one and give them the info. YAY!!!!!! Sidenote: I love Southwest airlines. Cheapest tickets I could get, and it still comes with 2 free checked bags. yesh.

I am sooo tired though. I think I could sleep for 3 days straight at this point. I need sleep!! I don't think I have gone to bed before 11 in weeks. And it's 11 if I'm lucky. But alas, it shall be for my good. For my edumacation and the like. But fur realz I could go for some shut eye.

Cold: It's snowing. I hate snow. I walked out of my English class today and what was my thought process? "Snow?! Shizniggles.... UGH!" And I mean it was SNOWING!! A lot. Snow is ew. So took out my umbrella and braved the cold. Then who should come up behind me but Justin? haha Of course he has to do that when I'm icking out at the sight of the snow. Of course. We had a nice chat. I asked him how he's been, he said he was sick all weekend, I said that sucks. What did you have? Sinus infection. Ew. But he's better now. Thats good. Hate being sick. You goin to the library? Yeah. Alright see you later. Bye. Nice conversation. I then went back to being grossed out by snow. I even put on my sunglasses so I could see less of it and pretend it was warm with the sun shining. It didn't really work, but a girl can dream. I hate snow.

Clowns.

Hungry: I have eaten only a twix and  string cheese today. Been running around like a chicken wih my head cut off trying to do everything. First I forgot my skirt and didn't realize until I was walking to work. So I had to go tell my boss that I was sending myself home to change before she could do it, and I couldn't even do the deed over the phone because guess what? I forgot that too. So then I go and catch the bus home and I plan on just going in, grabbing my skirt and phone, and running back to the bustop so I don't miss the bus back. The cosmos did not allow this. I get to my apartment and remember that my keys are missing, and no one is home so I go to the office to explain to them that my spare key is locked inside my apartment. The woman immediately signs us up for a lock change. Great. So then cute guy Timmy gets the master key and lets me into my apartment. I rush grab my skirt, look at the clock, I'm walking back to work. Welp, my umbrella got a lot of use today, at least it's cute. So through the snow I trudged. End result: I was an hour late to work, and I forgot my phone AGAIN. Yay.....?
Oh yeah, and I'm staharving!

But Happy. I am happy. haha =D I love my life. It's kind of great. ;]

Printers, Bonding, and Orange Juice

Song of the blog: Richman_ 3OH3

Note to Nicole: I like this song, but I wouldn't listen to it with the kids around. I know, I'm a bad person and such.... Love you!

So get past my wonderful taste in music, and I can tell you about BYU's horrible taste in printing technology. It began with my printer deciding last night that it would only communicate with my laptop to inform it that it could not communicate. I go to print my Bio paper this morning to turn in and what happens this time? Not a single printing kiosk is working!!!! I go to two different buildings, try 3 different kiosks. Nothing. Not a single one was working. So though I actually did my homework, it matters not. I'm going to have to email it to him and pray that I get some kind of credit. Stupid printers.

Some good news though, lots of bonding time this weekend with my roommate Eliza. We got really girly watching Black Hawk Down, I even painted my nails. haha Then last night we took turns letting out all our anger at our exes. It actually was nice. I never used to let myself be mad at him, and because of that I still have a lot of things I'm mad at. haha I've never gotten over when he called me stalker. That hurt more than I can really explain. After everything we had been through he had the balls to say that? Everything that I had put up with, everything he had done to me? And then I forced myself to forgive him almost immediately so that I wouldn't hurt him back. Puhlease! There is still much anger over this. Eliza's ex is worse in some ways, better in others. Both just suck. Ugh, men. We also kind of talked about how now we don't really trust people. I mean, I trusted everything to Felix, and look where that got me? The difference is though that I still want someone to prove me wrong. I still have this need to believe in the fairytale. Sometimes I wish I could just give up, but I can't. Ugh, men! Point being though, me and Eliza bond over this. haha

And Orange Juice is just great. I ran out Saturday night and forgot to buy more. So all day yesterday I kinda went through withdrawals. I have some now though. Don't you worry bout a thang. ;D 

Oh yeah! And my life? Pretty good. =]

I have no clue what to write about today, but I am bored and so am going to write something. Instead, of course, of doing my BOM insight papers. I shall save those for later when I'm tired and I want to go to bed but I can't because I have to write them. haha They aren't hard though. It will take me 10 minutes.

In other news, tonight for Sunday Dinner with the family I am making homemade pizza. It was an adventure getting the yeast to work this morning, but work it did, and it will be tasty hopefully. Every ounce of it is homemade, from the sauce to the crust. I bought the toppings but that doesn't count. haha And I didn't make the flour... but the REST of it is homemade! haha ;D

So I have gotten back into Panic! At The Disco. Yaayy...? haha

I don't know what to write! Welp, part of the family is here, so I don't have to type anything else. Woot.

In My Dreams I Am Rich.

Song of the blog: But I Am A Good Girl_ Christina Aguilara

So I have been daydreaming a lot lately. But my daydreams do not consist of what my daydreams normally consist of. I daydream of diamonds. I daydream of Tiffany, Couture, Dior, and all the like. One day, I shall be rich. One day I shall buy a 200$ pair of shoes without batting an eyelash. "Pocket change!" I shall say. I shall live somewhere beautiful, by the ocean perhaps! Or with rolling hills and a fabulous view. I will not work in customer service pool making minimum wage. No sir. I will fly to New York City every weekend and dine with others who are just as fabulously wealthy as myself. Mmmm.... diamonds. Someday, I shall be rich. Can you imagine? I certainly can. Country bumpkin turns into dazzling diamond. Enough to make one drool. (Not really, but almost.)

Anyway, these are just daydreams, they are nice though. ;D

And just gaze upon these shoes!!!!!!!!!! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Things I Saw As I Walked On The Moon.

Song of the blog: King Without a Crown_ Matisyahu

I fully recommend cloud watching to this song. Excellent.

As I walked to work I saw several sights:

1! A cat eating a mountain. Meow.
2! A Dragon.
3! A firefly attacking a horse.
4! A dancing bear.
5! A really nice pair of shoes. "Oh! They're mine. ^.^"
6! Some guy staring at me.... That was awkward.
7! A guy running across the street before the white man told him to. Tsk Tsk
8! My own mind meanderings. Day dreaming is my favorite.
9! Snow melting away, and the sun shining. Yes!

The world is pretty cool place. haha

So today in English we were going over poetry meter, during one part she gave us a meter and we had to write a line of poetry in it. Here are mine:
1! Iambic Pentameter
     Upon the light on glorious moon we see

2! Accentual Meter (3 stresses)
     Warmth in a grove, sun on my face. (Can you tell I can't wait for summer?)

Update: This is really for Nicole, love you. <3
        Had study group last night with Justin and others, I'm horrible with names. =/ Anywayz, it was fun. I heartz poetry, a lot!
Thought! I forgot to talk to the our instructor about the poetry thing! Dang!
        Anywayz. Study group was fun. Then me and Justin were texting and I found out that unlike the rest of the guys here in Provo he actually has good taste in music. Justin Bieber did not appear on his list. =]
        Still flowing. Flow. (And diamonds are a girl's best friend. ;D)

In other news: The Dali Lama is retiring. Didn't know he was aloud to do that. haha

English 251 Walk Away, and orange juice.

Song of the blog: More Love_ Dixie Chicks

So today I had class after a long 3 day weekend. I think that is all I need to say for you to understand that it's no fun. haha

My English 251 class never fails me though. I love everything we do in there. Today we talked about poetry. Pureness. haha I loved it. I love that class!! But then after class I of course looked over at Justin, who was looking at me and then it seemed that we would walk out together as well, which I totally didn't mind at all. haha I kinda like him. But then there was this awkward moment where this other guy suddenly opened the door for me, so I went out and then he followed me and Justin had to go after him. I turned around and Justin was walking away in the opposite direction. I am still not sure what to make of this occurrence, but it was certainly weird. Am I weird to think this was weird? I don't know, I'm just taking all of this as it comes to me. I just go with the flow. It seems that this thing with Justin has no flow, even though I would like it to. So I'll just go with my own flow and if he decides to join that flow then awesome. haha How many times did I say flow? Flow.

Happiness is my life right now. =]

Song of the blog: So Nice So Smart_ Kimya Dawson

When this semester began, I had a feeling that it would be wonderful. I just knew that life would be fantastic, that I would show myself that I was capable of juggling school and life. And guess what? I am. I can juggle better than a clown. The only thing I haven't quite learned how to juggle is how to save my money instead of doing what I did today and buy shoes and clothes and pretty much everything that is cute and on sale. I got a hoodie at Buckle today for 65% off!!! Anyway, I'm working on it. hahaha But I'm so happy!!

News: I had a date. His name is Justin Chang, and he happens to be the guy I blogged about earlier. The one who put together the study group. hahaha He just texted me randomly on Friday and asked if I was busy that night. Of course I wasn't!!!! hahaha It was one of the best dates I have ever been on, and his roomate, whose name is suddenly escaping me (ah!) and his roomate's girlfriend, (Abby =]) are really cool. I enjoy them and I hope I can get to know them too. And honestly, Justin, amazing. haha He loves books, as I do, and he introduced me to Pho, pronounced fuh, and it tastes really good! It's an Asian food, I can't remember what kind, starts with an L. haha  Basically we went to Barnes and Noble, walked around, went to eat Pho, got ice cream, the tire went flat, laughed about that, went to a movie, went home. I got home about 12ish. It was great. =D

More News: Food Fight!!! We had one. Today. Me and the greatest friends in Utah. =D I was COVERED in whip cream and every kind of syrup that it's possible to put on ice cream. We were ice cream sundays. Literally, because most of us were freezing. hahaha Lots of pics on facebook, it was AMAZING!!! My hair was hard with syrup, but it came out really easy in the shower. =] Wonderful.

Now it is 10:39 pm and I still have to write this rough draft of this paper thing due tomorrow in Writing 150. It's kind of piontless to me to have it due today, because the final draft isn't due until the end of the semester. huh? Yeah. And she hasn't even finished explaining to us what all she wants, we don't even have a rubric. So this rough draft is going to be a ROUGH draft. hahahaha And I'm STILL happy!!!! How????

..............WHO CARES!!!!! HAPPINESS!!!!!!!!

Swirls. And.... Stuff. Yeah.

Song of the blog: Hopelessly Devoted To You_ Olivia Newton-John

Greese is a greatwonderawesome movie. And I love when my ipod is on random and a song comes on and it's like, "Woo!" Maybe I'm the only one who gets that feeling. haha

So today I proved to myself that I can be a morning person. Not only did I stay up until 11pm finishing homework, but I also woke up at 5:45am so I could try to make the early bus. I did it. I woke up and got up when my alarm went off. I showered, I had time to do my hair, I had time to walk to the bus. I made it to the bus. I got to class in time for the quiz. This is further proof that I can do this. So! On mondays and wednesdays I will taking the 7:30 bus instead of the 7:41 bus. I actually felt LESS rushed this morning! Crazy!

So work today is DRAGGING!!! Usually it goes by pretty fast, but I feel like I have been here ALL DAY. When really I have only been here since 11am. It's now 2pm. I leave at 3pm. This hour will be the slowest of my life, I just know it. I'm starving AND.... well ok, I'm just starving. My stomach hurts. Complaints. I'm all complainy in my head and so my blog is turning complainy. Ugh. I'm going to end this and drink some orange juice and stare at the clock some more. =p Soooo Hungry!!!

The Foundation For A Better America

Song of the blog: Never Grow Up_ Taylor Swift

So I have this parasite. I don't know what else to call it. It's a parasite of an idea that won't go away and won't leave me alone.

We all have experience with looking back and seeing how Heavenly Father has placed certain experiences in our lives to teach us and make us who we are meant to be, but this, this is different in that I am interacting in it as it happens.

I'm not making any sense, but here is what I mean:

1: Changing my major. The sudden realization that my purpose in life is NOT to be a professor of literature. That I am supposed to be helping children and families.

2: The Sunday morning that I typed for about 2 hours as soon as I woke up because the information was just flowing like pure inspiration. This Foundation for a Better America. (Name will most likely be changed.)

I'm not crazy, it's just this idea won't leave me alone. I have this whole plan on how to launch this Foundation, I even get ideas when I see people like, "He would be perfect for this office." This 'office' doesn't even exist yet!! Hahaha I have to laugh at myself. I was even sitting in English class today and we were talking about what you do when you come across a written piece that addresses social wrongs, what is your responsibility now to society? Well the oddest thing. I was reading over the excerpt from the text and thinking about a good answer to give my group to give the class, and suddenly I felt very dizzy and this book popped into my head. "What Can I Do? Helping children in abusive homes, How to tell the difference between abuse, neglection, and normal familial difficulties." What? I've never read that book. Then the Foundation came into my mind, and I knew that that book will a big part of advertising our cause and such, and I needed to write it down. NOW. So I did. It's written down here in my planner. Hahaha I don't even know if neglection is a word!. Hahaha!

The Song of the blog, Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift, is the main song of this foundation. It's all about the lyrics. She describes a happy childhood that leads to being able to make it in the adult world. Our children will someday be moving out on their own, and they will be the future of our country. We need to put more focus on what will really shape our future, the future of our children and the future of our country. It's so much to think about, and so much work needs to be done. I want to get this started after my summer break. When I get back to school and I am settled in my own new apartment, then I am going to start gathering the people I have already spoken to and really doing this. I feel like if I don't then God will strike me down with lightning. Can't have that now can we? hahaha

To be truthful, I'm excited, and scared. Very scared. Frightened. And excited. That too. It seems like such a big job, but I know that Heavenly Father doesn't tell us to do things that we cannot accomplish. He knows I can do this, and so therefore I can, no matter who doubts me, even if that person who is doubting me is me. I cannot doubt. haha This is so weird. I've always felt that I was supposed to DO something. I just didn't know it would be this. Or this difficult. But it's for little ones like this >>>>
that I am going to do this. =]

The Swell Season.

Song of the blog: Every Song By The Swell Season That Is On Playlist.com

So I have noticed that every time my song of the blog is a song by The Swell Season, playlist.com doesn't have it. Nada. So the very few songs that I can put on my playlist here, I shall put now. Because I have no examples of The Swell Season as of yet. That is sad. I must right this wrong.

Because I can. And a random quote of my choosing. =]

Song of the blog: High Horses_ The Swell Season

I am really liking The Swell Season lately. I am listening to them at a pretty much constant rate. Most of their songs have a sad note to them, which make this whole relationship we have right now very twisty turny, because honestly I'm so happy lately that it's like a disease. A disease of happiness that I have gotten with this new semester. I do my homework, I go to bed at a decent time. I've been missing the bus a lot, but thats ok. I love all my classes, and I've been making new friends every day. It's like this amazing semester that is bringing nothing but wonderfulness to my life. =D And so these melancholy songs are not in tune with me. But I am addicted nonetheless. I can't put them down. haha Even more ironic is the album name. hahaha

So today I was in Biology 100, and I knew we were doing an in class experiment to demonstrate the scientific method, but what I didn't realize is that we would be working with termites. Teeny weeny little termites. And then I really did not expect that by the end of the class I would feel bad for them. "Lo siento piqunos..." I don't know if I got that phrase right, but I was saying I'm sorry little ones. They were so small that with my horrible eyesight I could barely see them. Pic>>>>>>>>
Does that sufficiently gross you out??
So what we had to do was draw a circle with a pen, put these little guys on there, and watch them follow the circle. We then had to make up our own experiment to explain why, following the scientific method. Turns out I was the best one in our group at rounding up termites with a paint brush, who knew?

I get out of work in exactly 1 hour and 20 minutes. Yes!

Annnd I was so excited that I just accidentally stapled that woman's bubble sheet to her coversheet. Gotta pay attention. haha Thats the first time I have ever done that! hahaha Dumb mistakes. =p

So here is the random quote of my choosing:

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.

And here is another one, because I can. =]

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown. 

Carl Sagan (1934 - 1996)

 

Too true to life. =D hahaha 

I tried to get the least creepy picture. But clowns are just creepy. So there was no avoiding it really.

 

Why Guys Like Boobs

Song of the blog: Jump on it.

So I'm sitting here chatting with my roomate Eliza and the conversation begins with Stick It, the gymnastics movie, to I can't believe those girls put themselves through that, to they have no boobs, to boobs are good and bad, then I say, "Can't live with them, can't live without them. Kind of like men!" "It's true!" "You know, I think thats why guys like boobs, they have so much in common." And then we started laughing. And then she said, "You should write a blog about THAT!" And so here I am. Writing a blog about why guys like boobs so much. It's because they have that in common, we can't live 'em, can't live without 'em.

I don't actually think that makes sense, but hey, why not? ;D

A Very Good Day with a side of orange juice.

Song of the blog: Two Tongues_ The Swell Season

So the song is a little sad, but I'm very happy today. =]
I did my homework this week. It was fabulous. I love all my classes, none are pointless. My favorite is my English 251 class. It's basically an elective for me now, but I LOVE that elective. I haven't technically changed my major yet, but I already stopped thinking of myself as an english major. I know that I can still take english courses and help kids at the same time. And finish my books. Yay life.

I am also reading this new book. It's called Matched, and it's amazing. I would have finished it in a day if I wasn't also doing school and work. It's got me. I picked it up when I was buying my other books for school and a calender to keep track of everything. I saw it and I was like, "Why is that chick in a formal gown inside of a big green bubble? And there are only two left out of the whole display..." So I had Michelle hold our spot and I went to read to read the back. It seemed interesting. It's set in the future, when a new Society has taken over after Global Warming and our wonderful human selves have ruined the earth. They regulate everything. From what you eat, to what you wear, to what your carreer is, to who you marry, and even when you die. It's the safest place, and the people are even happy, because all of their systems are made for optimal happiness. They don't even know that other choices exist, so they don't miss them. But Cassie suddenly discovers that there can be choice, and that maybe the Society isn't as perfect as it seems.

Yeah, I'm completely obsorbed. I want to be reading right now, but I'm at work and out call line is currently 15 people long. Time to take another call.



So anyways, my English 251 class was miraculous. I walked in, and of course I scoped the room to see what my classmates looked like, and get a feel for what this class would be like in general. (And to see if there were any cute guys. ;) I saw this guy and though, "Hmmm. He's really cute." Then as the class went on and the conversation rolled and it was the most perfect class of literature that a girl could ever ask for, I also noticed that his comments were really insightful and that he wasn't just cute but also smart, and he liked to read. An innocent crush immediatly formed. haha Then the class sadly ended, and I went into get-things-done mode. I had to speak with the instructor real quick, then I had to rush to work. I was walking up to the instructor and then who stops me? The guy. hahaha He wanted to know I was interested in being a part of a study group. Would I? Let me think for a second.... yesh. =] There were a few others in the class but I was in a hurry so I left after leaving my information. This is where my opinion changes of him a little. He's orginizing this study group right? So he texts everybody and the text begins with, "Alright ladies, we are all available in the afternoon..." And so on. He texted everyone's info to everyone, which is fine, but I had to laugh at the alright ladies thing. He obviously orginized this group to be him and tons of girls. Hahahaha It's comical. I'm still chuckling. Haha

Planning the Happiest Time Of The Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Song of the blog: She Doesn't Get It_ The Format

So I am planning my summer break. It seems early, I mean it hasn't even stopped snowing yet, but I have to buy my tickets soon so I can get a good deal on them. AND I have to start a savings for my summer budget. I'll make some more money in babysitting and maybe I'll mow the Smith's lawn a few times as well to make some money while I'm there, but I don't want a job. I'm going to be all over the place visiting every single person I can, AND I'll be in Coffeyville with Colby a lot too. If I wanted a full time job over the summer I would stay here, and make more money on top of that.

So here is what I have planned so far. My last day of finals is April 22nd. I want to visit my mom from April 23rd to April 29th. About a week. Then I will go back to Provo the morning of the 29th to get ready for a flight to leave the evening of the 30th. I don't want to travel on Sunday so if I can't get an afternoon or evening flight on the 30th, then I'll take a morning flight on the 2nd. I'll get a round trip and be back in Provo on August 18th. This SHOULD give me a week to get settled in my new apartment, find out if I still have a job at Independent Study, buy my books, and look over syllibie. I have no idea how to spell that word correctly and spell check is no help.

So in between all of that I will going to Warped Tour in Bonner Springs on July 6th. SO EXCITED!!!! =D =D =D =D =D =D =D Yes.  I will also somehow visit the DEAREST Dodd family in Topeka!!!!! =D

In case can't tell, I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. =]

Sitting in a room with a bottle of Cookies and Cream Milk, no test takers, and sticky notes with Happiness all over them.

Song of the blog: Risque_Cute Is What We Aim For

This song has been stuck in my head for the last few hours. Yay.

I have not written for a very long time. I have no excuse other than I had better things to do. haha Break was great, I got to see my mom and her new baby Zoey Love Kay. I got to see BILLY!! I haven't seen that kid in ages, and I miss him now that we are gone. I got to see Hope and Kyhana too!! Kyhana is growing up waay too fast!! It was good as well to see my stepdad Kurtis and his kids Krystal and Little Billy. I love them! I loved all of it. New Years sucked big times, but the rest was absolutness. =]

Some changes I am making, you could call them New Years Resolutions, but that makes it sound like I won't do any of them. Haha

1: I will not be dying my hair anymore.
    "AAHHH!!! What??!!!" I know. Me. Not dying my hair anymore. I have been dying my hair since I was 13. I'm not even sure what my natural hair color is. Some kind of brownish blond back then, but I think it has darkened a lot because my roots are a lot darker. Why did I decide this? Welp, I went in for a hair cut. It was the saddest hair cut I've ever had. It looks good, but she kind of made me realize just how much damage I've done to my hair. That would be a LOT. She said some ladies would tell me that I had to cut it to my ears and start over, but she had a plan for me that would not only work better, but I could also keep my length. I was all over that. So her's my plan. She trimmed off most of my splits, and I have to get another trim in 10 weeks. No more dying my hair, at least for a really long time. She gave me a 50% discount on the cut so that I could get the redkin anti-snap that she swears by, and I can already see how it's working. I love this stuff. She also gave me free samples of this redkin regenerate stuff to use a couple times to help out the process without spending the money on the big bottles. There was another thing not by redkin that was heat protectant tht she showed me, but she said that I didn't need it because the anti-snap would do the same thing. She just wanted to show me an example of a heat protectant. Turns out I have some that I rarely used, just different brand. She said I should start using it. The worst thing that I have been doing to my hair is straightening it. She said to calm down on my hair and stop burning it up. I can still straighten it, I just need to chill out. haha So I have, and my hair is looking better already. I will soon have healthy hair once again. Yay!

2: Exercise.
    Yes I know that everyone always says this. But I really want to do this. I'm going to have a set time everyday where I go for a jog. I'm going to start small. Just jog around Wyview once. Thats all I can handle at the moment. haha Then when I feel like I can, I'll go twice around. I have a good feeling about this. =]

3: Get a raise.
   This semester's raise evaluation I knew I didn't deserve a raise, so I didn't really try to get one. But I am going to be doing all I can to deserve it next time. The extra money would be really nice. Especially with my shoe weakness growing at a rate you would gasp at. (I just bought a new pair actually. They are beautiful!!)

4: Find an apartment and have everything set before I leave for the summer.

5: Do my homework.

6: Get a better set plan for the Foundation. Get more people on board to help when the time comes to get the ball rolling. (So Nervous!!)

So right no I am trying to get my book list so I can buy some of my books for this semester and get some reading done. But BYU's site is being stupid. Again. So I'm going to deal with that now. Ta Ta For Now.
