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.
