Pre-mis and Freshman Girls

I'm a realist. I won't see half of the people, boys or girls, that I've met this year until we all die and live in the same neighborhood in heaven. However; I think it's horribly rude for BYU to put freshman boys and girls in the same living quarters. The boys I've become wonderful friends with are leaving to go on their missions and I will never see them again. Well, maybe, but most likely not. We all go on to have adventures in our lives but knowing that for the rest of my life I won't see most of the people I've lived with for my first year of college is sad to think about. Life is a strange creature. It presents you with the best experiences and the worst realizations.

For example, this is Matt. He's going to the England MTC today. In fact, he's probably already there! He will be a wonderful missionary because he is a wonderful person, friend, FHE brother, and obviously a great uncle. I will miss having him around.

only i can go from $444 to $77 in less than 4 days. moving into a new apartment and buying food for said apartment is pricey. not to mention when you dont buy enough food and then have to go out to buy lunch or something. oh, dont forget the parking ticket for accidentally parking in hr/daily parking at the airport for 5 days resulting in $160 payment. gross. sorry dad.

anyway, school is starting off nicely! i dont have too much work to do so it should be pretty simple to get straight As this term. that is the goal for the whole year. i need to get straight As in order to boost my low GPA. freshman year did not do great things for me in regards to my academics haha

my best friend chelsea is gone to wyoming for a job and wont be back till winter =[

hopefully someday...

Pandora's Music Box

I'm a HUGE fan of Pandora Radio but every time I log into my account there's a new station!!

If you are the mysterious music radio adder on my Pandora, QUIT IT.

It's bugging me. I'm not sure if it's someone at home or someone in the BYU/SA office but it frustrates me that i can't ask them to stop because I don't know who it is! Plus, i really want to know who added this super sick station haha, its amazing! It's called Sondre Lerche & Regina Spektor Radio and was added on February 18th. It's cool music and I enjoy the station, I just want know who it is that keeps adding music to a station that's not theirs...

@ the lib. again.

my internet is down at home which means that i am stuck studying at the library until i have enough time to renew my internet safety thing = ill be here forever!!

its nice though because at home i get distracted way too easily and ive finally found a nice place at the library i can actually study! its quiet here on the 5th floor in one of the side rooms. i was wandering around, something i do often and always have done, and found the coolest old book!! i have no idea when it was published, indicating its oldness, but its titled The Boy's Guid to Sports, Illustrated. its small, about the size of my palm with the thickness of the Bible and just made my day. there was a game in there called dragon-apple (something like that) where you pour spirits/wine on a bunch of raisins then lite them on fire! whoever can grab the most out of the fire and eat them wins! it said the main point of the game isn't to win, but to have fun watching everyone through the blue flames of the raisins. brilliant right?!?!obviously the book is wayyy old, no one would publish a game book about lighting stuff on fire and then eating it. too bad the world isnt as old fashioned as it once was.

well, i have an American Heritage 1 page paper and 6 page homework assignment plus 1 page paper due in Economics tomorrow. estimated time completion is 6 hours!! ill be back later tonight to finish them haha

well, here i am at the library again. not studying. i have a HUGE econ test tomorrow. im nervous. but it will pass and life will go on so im kind of ignoring the nerves. my friend is on a mission to finland right now and i just found out they dont have peanut butter there!! horrible, i know. anywho i just thought id get on real quick and say that i had a very good valentines day with 3 of my girlfriends. we went to idaho for the weekend! haha it sounds kind of boring, but it really wasnt. it was a good break from being in provo. we went to a high school basketball game, sledding, movie watching, sleeping (not too much of this but still), and really we just got to spend time together and have fun. it was great and now im back at school trying to figure out what i want to do with my life and what major to focus on and such. ooh to be in college. its an adventure every day and im just trying to keep up.

procrastination

lets have a quick thought about finals.

im sitting at a computer on the 4th floor of the library at school with book open in front of me and suddenly had the urge to post a blog after 2 months. =D oooh procrastination

im flying home to AZ next week! i get to see my family and my friends and DIRT! its snowing here. its strange. but its not too horrible. i dont know why anyone would have ever wrote that "im dreaming of a white christmas" song though - yuck. to be fair to the snow; however, im only bitter becuase i dont have snow boots yet and my toes get super cold and every time i get in the car to go somewhere i have to get back out to scrap the ice off my windows...

ill post pictures of all the fun stuff ive been up to but as of today my best activity of the week definitely happened yesterday. we went on this big group date to SLC where 1) we explored the Joseph Smith Memorial Building 2) watched the Joseph Smith movie - i had a few tears. its a beautiful film 3) i met Natalie Cole and had her sign a dollar bill - it was the only piece of paper i had haha 4) i got to spend the night with a wonderful group of people who enjoyed looking at the SLC temple as long as i did. =] we had a fantastic time

actually, i lied becuase my other favorite part of this week --- wow, now that i think about it this entire week has been good! busy but good --- i applied to be a performing missionary in Nauvoo, Illinois and out of 200 applicants they asked me to come in for the call back!! my audition is on Sat Jan 2. very excited

ok now back to reviewing for my sociology final on monday.
