Breakdown...

The week ended and the weekend started (thank goodness). It wasn't very stressful but I'm just at that point where I'm so in need and ready for Spring Break and Spring for that matter. It's Monday, and it snowed this morning again. Thanks goodness it melted away though!!!! This past weekend was a good one. It was Girls' Night from Thursday night to Saturday night. We ate crap food, watched Gilmore Girls, and went out to dinner at Gringo's one night. It was so nice to just have it be us 4 girls hanging out together. We have become so close in the past few weeks and I'm so thankful for that. I love these girls so much and they have and are becoming my very best friends. I hope that we stay this way forever! Here are some picture of the night we got all dressed up and pretty and went to the mexican restaurant Gringo's. Fun night :) I love them!

Thursday night we went and got $5 pizzas at Little Ceasers and then went dumpster diving at this place which is a secret. They had HUUUUUGEEE cinnamon rolls! As you can tell, they were bigger than Kellie's face!

Look at this plethera of GOODNESS!!!

Some extremely comfy sweatshirts and sweat pants, huge cinnamon rolls, Gilmore Girls, and the most amazing girls ever= Best Girls Night in history

Can't have some gooey goodness without some cow juice!!

I love the women in my life! haha

A little bit more selfless please...

Since Sunday not much has happened. Monday I didn't have ANY classes because our teachers love me or something, and decided to cancel classes for that day!!! It was glorious, but I wasn't very productive and just relaxed. It was very nice, but I feel like a HUGEEE bum from it. Monday night we had FHE, and sad to say, I am not a fan of FHE this semester. I think it's just because we have SO many people and only a few come. So, it's somewhat frustrating in that sense. But since I'm the FHE "mom", I decided that I should probably come up with something for the night since Shaylor, the FHE "dad", and I don't communicate very well when it comes to planning. I wasn't feeling up to doing much or being around a bunch of loud, obnoxious people, so I decided I would come up with a picture scavenger hunt so they leave the house. I, myself, not having to go with the excuse of making cookies for when they returned. (Don't worry, I actually did make them cookies.) So I did that and once they came back I gave them their food and resorted to the wonderful comfort of my room. I love my room, it's such a place to get away from all the crazy, annoyingness of the outside and roommates. I don't know why but I'm just frustrated and annoyed constantly with most of my roommates. It seems as if they don't take into consideration of the others in the house who like peae and quiet! I can't wait to move out and go to Condie Cottage in the fall. But, as for now, I have to go through a whole summer with new and even more ridiculous roommates. I just hope I don't go crazy. Talia comes home in about a week and two days!!! I'm so very excited to get my roommate back and I miss her face so much. It's going to be a fun summer ahead, hopefully! I've just been thinking alot lately, with some situations that are going on with my friends, and feelings of other, and I've decided that I need to be more considerate of those around me and not think of myself. I need to be more selfless. I want to be able to just think about the benefit of others and to help people in any way that I can. I think this is why I want to go on a mission so badly. They just get into the habit of worrying about spreading the gospel to those around them instead of their own problems and feelings. I believe that this is why I need to go to Ecuador as well. The thing is I do not have any funds whatsoever as of now to do that, but, I have until December to get those. I really hope and pray that it works out. Well, Tuesday I didn't do much at all...I went to classes, got a good workout in, and played some volleyball at the Hart. Our team was put in last place for the start of the tournament. We totally kicked butt last night!! We won!!! So, we play again tonight and hopefully we can pull another "W"!!! Only about 2 and a half weeks of school left. I can't wait! I'm so in need of a break; my brain is very close to fried. Just need to take each day at a time, and be happy for tomorrow to come :)...

Duck Butts!!!

This weekend was the best one in a very long time! Friday was quite uneventful; Aaron Patrick Mcgregor and Jonathan William Bealer came over around 8ish while we were making a cake and cupcakes. We just hung around our house until we got extremely bored and wanted to do something. We were feeling kinda lazy so we went to Hollywood Video and rented two seasons of the TV show 30 ROCK. We went to Jon's house and watching it there. It was funny, but we were all really exhausted from the previous week so we all were kinda tired and fell asleep somewhat. Saturday was much much MUCH better! We all slept in till about 11-noon and then got ready for the day. IT WAS SUCH A GORGEOUS DAY!!!! I think spring might finally be on it's way into Rexburg!!! My roommates and I were oh so very excited so we wanted to play outside! We decided to go on a picnic to Porter Park where we played hopskotch, played on the equipment, and then threw a football around; and then feed the ducks at a pond nearby! It was so awesome and we had such a blast... here are some pictures from the day. :)

Strange Brew

So, today was such a weird day. I woke up early for my first class at 9, but I could not get out of bed if my life depended on it!!! I ended up sleeping through my first class and grudgingly went to my last two. I could not keep my eyes open or pay attention at all. It was somewhat frustrating, but luckily my classes didn't consist of any important information anyways. After classes I went and picked up some money so I can finish paying off housing for spring semester, so that's one less thing to worry about. I called mi madre as well, and it was nice to talk to her. I think I'm really starting to miss my family again. It seems that everyone is growing up and moving on with their lives and I'm missing out on it all; even if it's just fixing up the house in some way! My little sister is growing up and getting an attitude. It's hilarious. My brother is finally moving away from his high school friends, growing up, and starting a new life doing his own things and what he wants to do. I'm really proud of him. :) I got to hang out with all my wonderful friends tonight. We hung out at the house for a while eating cake, cupcakes, and milk. Just talking and laughing; good times. Talia get here in approximately two weeks! I'm so excited to have her back, but nervous at the same time. Things have changed and I know how hard it is to move back into change. I'm sure things will be fine for her. Lately I've been feeling like I need to start doing something with my life. I feel as if I'm not doing all that I can be and that I need to do more. It's funny, i've been feeling like this for a few weeks now and my dad just sent me a message on facebook saying that he's been thinking alot about me and that I need to practice PATIENCE. He explained how I need to not worry about getting everything done right now, because I'm only 18, and that I just need to worry about school and my future career. It was exactly what I needed to hear from my dad. He's so wise, I love him to death. I think I just worry about my life and my future way to much. I'm still really young and have so much more learning experiences and developments in my future to come. I can't wait to learn and to start new and better habits!! Too, bad it's really late right now and I'm probably just really delirious and emotional, so i'm just babbling on and on. But this is when I'm most motivated. I need to start writing all this stuff down so I remember to do it!!! Well, on a side note, life is great!!! I'm still having fun... and need to start cracking down on the books and that stuff called homework! Tomorrow is a new day.....:)

Breathe in for luck

Today was a good, sweaty, hungry, birthday, smelly, dirty, and thirsty day. I set my alarm for 8:30 this morning because I had my first class at 10:15 and wanted to shower and read. That didn't happen. I got out of bed at 9:30 to just barely throw some clothes, makeup, and deoderant on and then I headed to class. Class was extremely boring. It's a great class but the teacher isn't experienced at all and pretty sure I could teach exactly what she is right now. It's kinda frustrating but oh well. After class I went to the gym and did 2.5 miles on the elypticles (sp?). It was cool. Then I came home, showered, and sat on facebook. It's sad how much time is spent on that. But, it is an addiction, I don't care what ANYONE says!!! It is a cool site though. I suggest everyone to check it out. Jeffrey Scott Poole called me around 2 and asked if anyone and myself would like to go to Wal-mart/Broulims to get some food. So, my good friend Kellie and I went along. It was kinda weird; I don't know if we were all just tired or crabby but it didn't seem right. It was fine though.
Today was one of my very good friend Luke's birthday. I met him in Freshman Academy last July and we've gotten really close. He just received his mission call to the Denver North Mission a few weeks ago and he's so excited for it. But anyways, I felt that I needed to do something nice for him, so I bought a cake for 89 cents at Broulims! I make cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles and then I made a homemade birthday card for him as well. He came over after his last class and I gave them to him. I loved the look on his face when he saw it. :) I love that kid so much. I'm going to miss his stinkin' guts while he's gone. He's probably one of the most mature/awesomest pre-missionaries I've ever met! And that's why I love him so much.
After that charade, my good friend Lyndee and I went to the gym for the second time to do some more elypticles! (SP?) We did 25 minutes worth which was about 2.25 miles. It was good. But, I might have overdone it a bit. We watched some basketball games that were going on as well and just relaxed and chatted. I like talking to her, she's such an amazing person and is so hilarious!!!! She's great.
So just yesterday I was in one of those moods where I felt like I didn't know where or what I was going to do with my life. Especially with my major. I wasn't talking to my best friend Talia and just giving her some advice on some stuff, and she told me that I need to be a therapist of some sort. It made me think! I really want to do something with sports medicine or something! So, Talia told me I should be a SPORTS THERAPIST! How exciting does that sound! It's perfect for me. I emailed my advisor and he said I was already in the right major for that occupation and that I can go in and see him to plan out my classes. Just like that everything seemed to fall into place! I love it when that happens. :)
Overall, It was a good good good day!

Freshly Squeezed

SO, I've decided to bite the bullet and TRY TRY TRY to be consistent with this thing. I want to start adding my friends and possibly get my family to do one as well! My life is pretty amazing right now. School is going pretty good, probably could be better though. I have the BEST group of friends imaginable on the Earth!! I love them with all my heart and would never want anything to change. We all just started hanging out last semester and ever since winter semester has started we have just become the best of friends and have the greatest times. I'm so grateful and need to enjoy these precious moments while they last! My bestest friend Talia has been out of my life for about 2 months now. I've been roommate-less and soulmate-less, haha, and it's killing me! I figured I would enjoy it in the beginning, but turns out it SUCKS! Well she's returning to my arms in about 3 weeks, so that's exciting! So much has happened in the past few months. Way to much to write on here but maybe i'll mention a few things in my future posts. This is a really boring one but I promise they'll get better! Much love and peace. :)
