just pictures today :)

so saturday the hockey game ended up being an away game in colorado so i went to snow and played games with mikelle and amy joe till 10:30 :) it was way fun, i learned to play a new game that we called jam cause mikelle couldn't remember the real name. sunday me and jess listened to general conference, then i called a bunch of people, then me and jess went to the cemetary to take pictures cause everything looked so pretty after the rain. . .. monday, i went to classes, the fire alarm went off in the TSC when we were eating lunch, that was pretty funny. . . . came home, did homework, took a nap, went to fhe where we ate donuts hot chocolate, and smores around a fire. met a bunch of people. after it was over, we started to walk home but ran into josh ( the guy that i hit in football a few weeks ago) he started talking to us, asking our advise about girl problems he was having. haha! kinda threw me off guard, cause we don't know him that well. but it was nice that we could kinda help him. its so funny how boys can get so worked up about just calling a girl! haha :) or even talking to one for that matter. haha! well, i hope we helped. after we got home we put up halloween decorations!!! they are so cool! ;) i'll have to tell you all about them later. . .. see ya'll soon :)

haha, so thursday:) went to class, for math recitation, my last class of the day we had a group quiz. . .. those can get pretty interesting. i got so frusterated, calculus is completely messing with the laws of geometry! i understand how it works now, but for the life of my i cant understand why!!! well i guess thats like the biggest swear word in math, no one ever askes why! everyone just accepts that math is the way it is, but that is just not how i learn! why is calculus messing up my entire previous why knowledge of geometry !!! well i was verrry frusterated after math, and i just needed a piano SOOO bad! well i went to the towers after class caus i heard they had pianos. . . wrong!! you need a key to get to them. . . . well i knew that there was pianos up be snow and rich and all those dorms. . . so i started walking. . . . just a side note, i love walking through the cemetary! its so beautiful! and the leaves are just starting to change so it makes it even more gorgeous. well i got there and found a piano in morgan hall ! :) i love playing so much, i dont know what it is, but it makes me so happy . . . even after a stupid calc quiz :) well when i was playing, i thought, hmm, i'm right next to dallons place and if he finds out that i come up here to play pianon frequently, but never say hi to him, that would be sad. so i texted him, well be the end of the short conversation, because we both dislike texting conversations, just get the info out, otherwaise call the person. anywhay i ended up getting invited to their pirates of the carabian marathon that night :) . . .so i went home made myself a grilled cheese sandwich, and ran over to snow. basically we sat around, talked, met stephanie and kim the other roomates. dallon is almoast done with his picture! he wants to finnish it this weekend and its looking so good! stephanie also draws, she's working on a chalk pastel of people!! its looking really good to! i have no clue how she does it. well we were planning on startin at 5:30 but we had some problems finding a good dvd player. so none of us really worked hard to find one, just did randome things, like measuring height, pulled out the scale, ate cookies etc. i think its so funny how girls are always thinking that they need to lose weight and boys are always wanting to gain weight, even though the are just fine the way they are. well through out the night i had been volunteering my dvd player. around 8 or 9 i cant rememmber, they finally took me up on the offer. two of the girls nicole and stephanie drove me to edgehill cause they want to check it out, possibley move there next year :) i grabed the dvd player showed them around the apartment and we left. we finally started the movie! haha! good movie,but it drove me crazy at the end! i know that earlier i had cleaned a few of their dishes, the ones they would allow me to do cause i was their "guest" and watered a plant, not a big deal! well, towards the end dallon got up cause one of the other girls was in the kitchen, and thet did all the dishes!! it drives me crazy when i'm just sitting around and other people are working! but i felt that if i were to get up and help them, i would look like the biggest copy cat ever! i know that was nice of him, but i sat there, uncomfortable the rest of the movie. haha! i have some issues i think. after the movie we sat around and talked . . . oh ya, thats when we pulled out the scale/ measuring tape. well after we goofed around for a while we started the movie #2 . . .also a good movie. we had a back rubbing chain this time, evidentally i'm good at giving back rubs haha. well that was also a good movie, as always. . . . oh ya! i also found out that i am officially part of their pirate crew when we find a ship :) my position is weapons manager. . . i was offered 3rd in command under dallon and garrett his cousin, but i decided my credidentials wern't suitable for the position :) haha! . . .
well friday. . . was a hat day cause i didnt feel like taking a shower. haha! dso i went to class in a hat, when i got home i played guitar for a while cause no one was home, then i got into this cleaning mood! i cleaned the entire bathroom :) then i needed to vaccume the rugs so while i had the vaccume out i vaccumed the hall, my room, and the living room. the citchen floor looked like it needed to be cleaned so i did that to, and then i just like cleaning windows, so i did that. :) i like cleaning sometimes when i decide i want to because it it a great stress reliever! it gives me time to think, but i feel productive at the same time. after that i took a shower, and read a book for a while, after a while i dont think i've ever been so board in my entire life! so i got jess to watch a movie with me :) we watched twilight cause she's never seen it befor. i think that twilight is a movie that everyone should watch! not because its good, but because everything is so painfully funny! haha! its all suppose to be seriouse/ mysterious but its just so funny! today is generaly conference. so i've been working on my drawing, i'm almoast completely done with josh!! its looking better than i thought, but nowere near perfect. but maybe i'll get there someday. . . . i'm planning on finishing conference and then going ot a hockey game with mikelle :) it should be fun :)

monday . . . hmm, dont really remember what i did monday, oh ya, i worked a ton! on my drawing and we went to FHE at the bishops house where we played a get to know you game and ended with home made bread and honey butter :) tasty :) then we got into a conversation with a couple of guys about eating icecream with potato toppings like cheese, chives, bacon bits, sour cream etc. i said i'd do it if they paid me, i didn't think they'd take me up on it! but they sounded pretty seriouse about it. . . . hopfully they'll forget next time i see them. then we came back and went running :) i love running :) . .. tuesday, i worked more on the drawing, went to walmart with savannah who was limping the whole time because she was kneed in the thigh durring soccer :( i felt so bad for her. then i came back home, and i think we watched a movie, but i cant remember. wednesday was a good day :) it was snowing! but thats not the good part. after classes i went back to rich hall with veronica and kylie for hot chocolate. then on the way back i stopped at jones hall to play the piano! so fun :D i dont know what it is, but i enjoy playing the piano so much! its like i can release all my feelings into the song, without anyone knowing it :) but i do wish i could improve better, add in a few more keys etc. and i dont feel confident actually making up harder songs that i write down up here cause alot of people can hear, and its not fun listening to picking out notes. anywhay :) walking back i walked through the cemetary, its so beautiful! the leaves are just starting to change and it had been raining so the pavement was wet. i loved it :) later last night me savannah jacinda and a bunch of other people, mostly edghill people went to angies to clean the sink :) ( for all those who dont know, cleaning the sink at angies meants going ot a restaraunt named angies and they take a sink, fill it with icecream nad make you eat it :) if you finnish, you get a bumper sticker :) its really fun! ) so we were there, and ate the whole thing !! it was way good! there was some guys there that kept teasing us about being able to tell that we were freshman because we were "giddy" i hate that word, but we teased them right back because they wern't exactly the most mature people either. there was also a girl in our apartment complex, allie, who forgot to turn her car off and locked the keys inside the car, and forgot about it till we where done eating icecream, it was pretty funny :) then after we went outside me and savannah but the windshield wipers up on about every other car in the parking lot, . . . . pretty funny :) then we came home and learned the dance to thriller :) yes, we did. . . .so fun :) today so far i've had class and all the roomies got together at lunch to eat pizza at the hub. that was fun, now i'm going to go to class, and i think that i'll find another piano after class today, that was fun :) and maybe i'll go to the SI tonight for chem, cause it couldn,t hurt.

oh ya! almoast forgot, i went to a pudding dance with savannah and jacinda! :) it was so fun :). .. and wednesday night we went to some tennise courts and played around for a bit. then i started jogging, i love the feeling you get when your running, and you feel like you cant go anymore, then you get into a zone, and its like you can just run forever as long as you keep the same pace :) its so cool :) then we did suicides nad that was great :) cant believe jacinda had never done those :) . . . well heres som pictures

sorry. . .looks like its been a week. . . well, highlights . . . last saturday we had the fhe activity :) it was so fun!! we raced the boats, jacinda and savannah got to drive their teams, and they got second place! afterwards us three floated all the boats around 1st dam until they were sunk :) it was so fun!!! but really cold, so cold sometimes that your lungs hurt if they were in the water to long, thursday we made pizza in #4 it was way good :) then we came back and celibrated jacindas birthday with cake :) early friday morning, well 4 am i got up and streamered her door and the kitchen for her real birthday :) well they left later that day for home. well thursday i got a call from dallon, he asked me to go to homecoming with him :) wel friday right about as soon as i got out of my classes he came and picked me up with his friends kaity, nicole, criss, and nate. we went to the DI tdo pick up some clothes because the dance theme was "blast from the past" well we decided on doing 50's, all the guys found these awesome lether jackets, they looked really good! i got a button up green shirt to go with me white skirt and a black scarf thing. after the DI we went to several other stores, that was really fun getting to know his friends a little better :) they are really fun. after that we were kinda thinking about going swimming, but it was kinda late, so we went to snow hall nad hung out there for a while :) it was really fun, then he dropped me off at home so i could change before the dance. when he picked me back up the whole gang came up to get me:) we then whent to go get pizza:) the group was huge! but i was so proud of myself, i remembered most everyones names! such a fun group of people. we pulled our cars around in a circle and ate inside the circle. then we went to the dance, there were like 5 different roomes with music playing and most of it didn't have verry good stuff, but thats ok :) we ended up just moving around alot. haha! it was kinda funny, through out the day he kept warrning everyone that he couldn't dance, when we were there, the first room we went to was a swing room. he knew just about as much as i did :) made me feel good cause i wasn't the only clueless one there haha!, as for the rest of the dance he did well, probably as good as me, but moved around less. but i could tell something was holding him back, but still so fun :) oh ya, thats another thing, i noticed that he really doesn't speak out to the whole group unless he has a really good idea that would help everyone, kinda like me. well when we would skip around he would have to put his jacket somewere, so i had a place to put my shoes :) it was nice. . . yes, i didn't were shoes at the dance, probably not smart, but i liked it anyway. well with all the skipping around we lost our carpool part of the whole group so dallon and i volunteered to go find them, well we went around to most all the dance rooms and couldn't find them anywere. . . . we finally decided to just chill be the fountains outside and talk for a while. it was really nice to get away frome everyone for a while. while we where there the sprinklers came on next to us and scared away all the people laying in the grass, it was pretty funny. when we finally went inside and talked to the people we found out that the people we were looking for where at the ampatheater star gazing. well we stuck around for a while and then took off to see if we could catch up to them before they left the ampatheater. we raced down the tsc hall and were on our way, but they met us right around the bend of old main. well we decided to walk back to the dorms and have our own party, cris also took no time to start teasing about becoming true aggies, i was proud of myself for thinking of things to say that wouldmake the conversation less ackward, and bytheway, no i am not a true aggie, just so everyone knows. lol! so stop asking. well we walked back through the cemetary, that was so fun!! talked the whole way through, dallon also had this great climbing tree that i am definatly going to have to try out sometime soon when i have good shoes on. when we got back, it seemed like everyone changed, except for me, cause i didn't live close. we sat around took some pictures, i watched dallon draw for a bit, then we watched wolverine, it was a great show but i was supprised that i stayed awake through the whole thing lol! after that he drove me home again. i'm planning on haning out with them more. saturday i slept in, dallon came by ad dropped off me ID card that i forgot with him the night before me and jess did laundry, then me jess kendra and kierstin drove to saltlake to watche the relief society broadcast. that was fun :) ate at carls jr. then on the way back we stopped be crispy cream and artic circle. we also stopped in manchua to go stargazing! it was so beautiful! we were rith next to a lake so not only did we see all the stars, but the reflection of the mountains and the stars on the lake. it was very pretty. today was sunday, jess and megan slet outside in a tent last night after i went to bed :) i feel kinda sorry for jess cause megan is sick and sleeping in a tent all night with a person who is sick will more than likely make you be sick too. church was good :) found out though that the internship guy is in my ward :( ackward. well after church i taught jess how to play eukulele, the cat came by again for a long time and i've been working like crazy on my drawing :) its looking good though :) dallon is almoast done with his now . . .crazy! :) but it still looks way good! i
m going to have to coppy him next time and have mimimal background . . . cause thats going to be a pain with mine. well i guess i'll be writing more here on out :) just for you mom :)

so friday i took a calc test :) i think i did really well on it. .. . but i guess well see when i get it back. my mom also came friday to visit :) she brought a bunch of halloween decorations. we stopped by a antique store before going to dinner. it was so cool! it was the biggest antique store i have ever seen . . . ever! i really like antique stuff because its really old and its cool to think about the people that those things use to belong to. we saw a bunch of civil war stuff, and we got to hold real natzi daggers, it was crazy. so we ended getting a civil war bullet, a sithe thing from a really long time ago, and a belt buckle for me :) yes . . . i now have a belt buckle, now all i need is boots and a hat :) then we went to olive garden, and that was really good :) last night we ended up going to the institute dance that was pretty fun :) then we came home and danced some more. this morning we showed up at the church for the service project which ended up being just cleening the building. but it was fun :) and we got to play the piano afterwards :) that was awesome :) came back and i made pancakes while listening to brian regan :) now i'm going to take a shower and get ready for the continuation of fhe, which will be the sailing of the cardboard boats :) that will be fun :) oh and i'm slowly but surely getting the charcoal done . . . kinda imbarassing how slow i am. . . .guess i have been studying though. oh! and my brother eli tried out to be 8th grade senator and he won!!! for his speech he changed the words to a song and sung it in front of all his peers :) i'm so proud of him :)

so pretty much, we made cookies :) i am continuing to work on my charcoal, i'm about done with joshes shirt, i should be studying for the calc test tomorrow, but i'm not. i got free food from the polynesian club opening social! it was the best food i've had up here yet :) maybe i'll join just for the food. the cat who's name is sassy, that is really a boy, who we re-named michelangello, is a frequent visitor at our appartment now. today me and jess saw a northern flicker woodpecker, it was really cool! under its wings and tail were all red. and i'm irritated with myself for never really knowing what exactly i want, in many situations in life, which is also connected with my irritating habit of indecisiveness that i have been working on. . . .evidentally not hard enough.

ok, well monday, i went to the chemistry si, it turned out to be thousands times more helpful than the class or the recitation! then i went to fhe where we got into groups and made cardboard boats that we are going to race across first dam on saturday ! cant wait :) then me veronica and kylie are thinking about going to a demolition derby on saturday too. haha! oh ya today me kylie and veronica were talking about guns, kylie brought up how her shoulder really horts when she shoots shotguns for a long time. veronica then asked why her shoulder hurt when she shot a shotgun, because you only use your hand when you shoot a shotgun "its like a handgun right?" haha! so funny! she soon realized her mistake after a few minutes of us laphing histerically. so today was the first time i had chem lab. so nice te teacher lets us get in, get our work done, and leave early if we get the stuff done. so nice!! today i basically spent a ton of time drawing, then at about 9ish me and my roomies whent to the roof of that building that we herd about. . . . it was so cool!!! that is the coolest place ever! you can see the stars and the city :) now i,m back, and i am definatly going to bed early tonight!! :)

ok so this weekend . . . . . friday night i got together with dallon and charcoaled :) it was so fun! its kinda crazy just how much we have in common. well, he's doing a peice of his cousin holding a dog (his cousin needs a wheelchair, dallon helps him at bascketball camp) and i'm doing a picture of my brothers when they were really little :) cant wait to actually start the shading. right now i'm just working on the outlines, getting all the proportions right etc. on saturday savannah went to peach das in the morning and jacinda went to peach days in the afternoon with nick from camp. so me and jess kinda hung out :) well before jacinda left we watched taken with me jess and sadi, one of jacindas friends that came down to visit her. jess was working on her giant wire stapler all that day and i was kinda just switching from bother ing her, drawing, and printing of the anthology for advs. around 7 we took a lacrosse break then went to walmart were i found out that ink refills are expensive. came home, listened to stories from savannah and jacinda, then went to bed. oh ya! the cat has visited the apartment both sat. and sunday. and we found out that its a boy even though its tag said sassy :( poor cat. today was sunday, church was amazing :) we had a convert speek in sacrement meeting about her experience, and someone talk about prayer, and in relief society and sunday school they spoke alot about charity, it made me think about just how much i was willing to give in order to serve someone else. i'm really liking our ward :) came back and had a picnic with me jacinda savannah and megan at adams park. really fun. came back and watched 17 again. then ate dinnir and when to the ces broadcasted fireside that jess was singing in. it was really good, alot about virtue, that relief society president is a really good speaker. now i'm continuing to print of the advs thing. and waiting for jess to come home :) i'm wondering if she has her phone. lol

ok, so hmm, highlights of the week, . . . this is so hard! i really need to start wrightnig more often. so yesterday, my teacher for my 8;30 class never showed up. . . . oh! ya i remember. early this week i got a call fron some guy setting up interviews for paid summer internships. so i went to this interview thing and there were 2 other guys there being interviewed with me. well evidentally it was for some painting company thing. they would train us and direct us to become managers for our own house painting company thing. well, it sounded like a tone of work and painting is not really what i want to be doing this summer, but i was deciding if the whole manager thing would be worth it to have on a resume. well i called my mom, and she didn't like it, and i was still very sceptical about it, so i called the guy yesterday and told him that i couldn't do it. well thats the long storry in a shorter version. yesterday we also had a cat just walk into our appartment! well it was more of a kitten :) so cute! then today in my advs class this cowboy was asking around for lotion because his hands were dry. well we had to ask about 20 girls before we found one with lotion! haha! i thought it was hillarious! :) i love being around advs people :)
well that is what i can remember right now :) other than of coarse hanging out with my awesome roomates! my plans for the weekend include gettting together with dallon and charcoaling, homework, guiter, and "poetry and a beverage" which is basically an open mic that people can go watch for free :) and of coarse updating the blog.

weekend

so this weekend i visited the family :) it was fun. came home saturday morning nad painted the hallway, then we cleaned out the garage. in the middle, bettilee came to visit and bring me over some things from boston. over the weekend i also became addicted to lost, my wonderful family got me hooked :) lol i played piano forever too! i love the piano, i miss it so much up here. we also, watched a few hours of family videos :) haha! we were such funny kids! then today me and mom and nena lee and dad went to lunch at 5guys aftre i got my hair done. the we came home and watched a few more epesodes of lost. then dallon came to pick me up to head back down to usu. so this dallon kid drove me there and back, he's really nice, we talked the whole way, and apparently we have alot in common. now i'm just sittin here, thinking about the homework that i probably should be doing :) haha!

ok so i,v been very . . . umm whats the word. . . . cronological i guess, in my posts. so i'm going to try something new. i'm not going to tell you absolutly everything that happens in my life. if i dont say anything, pretend it was an absolutly normal day for me. from here on out i am just touching on the highlights. well at least i'll try to. so yesterday i got this awesome quote in institute, but its too long to type here. and jacinda got a hermit crab, and we got lost in the parkinglot of walmart for like 5 minutes. so funny! then last night we spraypainted a ton of cardboard to hang on out wall! i'm so excited! pictures will be comming!

last night was fun :) it was me, savannah, jeremy and his roomie zack most of the time. we started by driving to a way fun park called ryans place in providence. we played around on the towers for a while, did swings for a while, including a shoe tossing contest. then we went to green canyon. we stopped at this one place where we hiked up to see this huge cave! so cool, and evidentaly it a sweet place for bonfires. then we drove around til we got to the top of green canyon then turned around, went back to edgehill to pick rachel up, then we went back to the canyon where we met up with people and a fire. they had a guitar, a banjo and this awesome drum there!! so cool. so me savannah and zack all kinda sat there and talked while jeremy bounced around talking to people. at the end of the night we were trying to put the fire out and everyone was smart and didmt bring water, the only thing we had was a mini shovel that jeremy had in the back of his car. so he was buting dirt on the fire, i was stomping on coals outide the fire cause we had rolled some of the big logs out of the pit for some reason. the fire pit dousing was going slow so i thought i'd help by smothering some embers with a big rock. so i picked up the rock with my right hand and immediatly realized that was a mistake. it was burning!!!! Sso i threw it into the pit and told everyone it was hot and not to touch it lol. when we came back we met jess comming back from #9, then savannah remembered that she had left her keys on old main hill earlier that day so we went back to campus to find them. came back and went to sleep aroud 2ish.
so today we had church at 9 but it was wierd because it started with relief society and worked backwards from there. came home, studied, drew a little, made cookies, then went to ward prayer came back, sat outside a while, now i'm here. so ya.

new pet!!

ok, so last night savannah didn't win. . . she lost at a challenge because she didn't know any couples that would kiss on the A. so she came back and we watched the skeliton key with popcorn :) this morning we woke up and me and jess made french toast. then we went to the logan temple with savannah and her cousin and 3 of her friends and jess. then jess walked home and me sav and sav's homies went to lunch, the cheese factory and aggie ice cream. came home, played guitar, i started learning john mayers why georgia today. then we walked around campus with savannah jess and sav's other friends. then we came back and me and savannah went to the pes store and got hermit crabs!!!! i'm so excited!!! mine is called friday, savannahs is called mapaya! way cool. so we came home, ate dinner, then number 12 asked us to hang out in the mountains with them, campfire etc. so thats were we're headed soon :) it should be tons of fun! . .. i kinda want to bring something, like food related, but i dont know what. lol.

so last night i talked to jess for like 4 of 5 hours :) haha that was pretty fun :) finaly got to bed after psycing myself out about the bug bite on my leg. ( so right before the foam dance we were sitting on the grass waiting for everything to be set up and i felt a sharp pain on my leg. when i looked at it there was a red dot on the upper part of my calf. well its been itching really bad and last night it was really raised ( about the size of an orange) and itched SOOO bad!! today wore a hat to all my classes! so cool! i also asked a really good question in math. the teacher was really impressed! aced another test in animal science. he asked about the whole milk production thing i talked about last time :) when i got home i played guitar, did laundry, and ate dinner.then me and jess went to some art galleries up on campus, it was way cool. i really love looking at pictures and art. its pretty cool. when we got home i got a call from savannah to get a burger king crown and a 7-11 slurpee for a contest she is participating in! . . .sure hope she makes it :)

so last night there was a foam dance! we accidentaly showed up 15min. early, so we got to play in the first foam bubble piles! so so fun!!! they were higher than my head!! then we met one of jacinda's friends mark and he came back to the appartment with us and we all talked till 11. thismorning i got to sleep in till 10 it was so nice! went to class animal science first were we talked about the problems that the dairy industry is having, and how the government is getting involved with stuff. crazy. then math recitation were i did great on the first quiz :) then connections. then i told veronica i,d meet her at the corner of 700 and 1200 so we could go to the advs opening social together. so i was sitting there and another random guy came up to talk to me for like 5 min. (jess, dont laugh! ) haha, i just thought it was funny cause thats happened a few times up here. then we went to the advs social thing. so fun! everyone there is really nice. no prissy bratty etc. type of people, and tons of real cowboys and cowgirls!! its so wierd and cool at the same time! its pretty funny cause there are people who show up to class in cowboy hats and boots all the time! not to mention the huge belt buckles!! i'm almoast in the minority without a belt buckle :) lol. and this guy brought his puppy border collie. so cute! dang i miss shaylee. and thats pretty much all for today.

more college stuff

wow, i'm going to have to think of som more interesting titles :) lol. . . . well yesterday after i wrote, i went to walmart, then went to my animal science class. that will be a fun class :) most days i end up walking from calc to the animal science with lunch in between with my vet tech friend veronica and kylie. in the evening i made tuna helper and then we went to watch ferris beuler in the tsc building. came back, made toast in a fryng pan with savannahs cinnemon bread. then i took a shower, and while i was in there, i heard this loud banging noise! i had no idea what it was. scenerios started running through my mind; what if there was a fire and my roomates were banging on the bathroom door to get me out, what if someone broke into the appartment, WHAT IF . . . that stupid closet with the watter heater or the dishwasher was making stupid noises again! it was intense, when i got out i found out that someone had lit a string of fire crackers on our front porch. . . . wish i knew who it was.
this morning i walked to class with lindsey and kierstin cause they just happened to walk out of their appartment right as i was passing it. went to institute were there was about 14 people instead of 7. got a text befor hand from clayton offering to save me a seat in chemestry which i greatfully accepted. i love institute to death, but they always let us out late and with a chemestry class of 511 people, by the time i get there, i have a seat that i cant see anything at! so clayton had seats right on the second row! so nice! then calc, were i realized how much i need to re learn how to use my calculator. then lunch! and i got my herd shirt :) then animal science, i'm going to really like that class, there is a really cool teacher. i also found out in that class that john paulson is also majoring in bioveterinary science!! what a small world! came home called mom, did some studying. and now i'm not sure what i'll do. theres a foam dance tonight, maybe i'll go.

yesterday was so fun!! it rained in the morning, it sas so nice :) started the day with institute, ( the gospel and the productive life) an awesome class . . . but there was only 7 people there. then chemestry and calc. both those classes are graded only on the tests!!! crazy! then lunch and intro to biovet. met shelbie and campton . .. at least i think thats his name. lol. then i came home, read over all my syllibus's, played guitar, taught savannah how to play a little. went running with savannah and jacinda :) it was so fun!!! came back, more guitar. smoothies, then we went to the tsc were a local band was playing! i love listening to music that people have made themselves so much!! it was great. then on our way back to the appartment we stopped by a dance at the institute that was fun :) came back and went to bed. this morning i woke up and went to chemestry lab, just to find out that it doesn't start till the 15th. met carlos looking for chem lab as well. it was wierd because he lived past my stop. and kinda walked with me to the street light, a little ackward, but whatever. on the way he asked if it was ok that he was walking with me, wierd! sure i like making friends, and i was just fine walking with him till he asked me that. well my stop came right after that, so we kinda ended on an ackward note. but whatever, he was nice. and i think maybe a little self consiouse. i hope i don't look to snoby or something for people to walk next to me. ok. . . that wasn't wat i mean, but you know? i should just avoid situations like that in the future. i just cant seem to think far enough ahead. . . but i'll work on it :)
so i think i should say, connections class wasn't very helpful, but the good parts were, the free t shirt and the friends i made. i think that my group of connections friends is the biggest group in the whole connections class. lianna, clayton, sara, emily, callista and me. one of the days we had a service project pulling weeds at the humane society. on our way back we were in a car accident and basically hung out on the grass for a couple hours while the police gathered information. pretty fun :) well heres some college pics :)
