New Pics

Ok everyone get super excited I"m going to post some pics!!! I keep saying I"m going to so really they have nothing to do with anything I just wanted to put some recent ones up. The top one is a very recent one of me and my hair. The middle is of Chalice and her birthday cake and the other is just a random one of me.

Another little update

Well hello everyone. I know it's been awhile, but it's been crazy. I hope you enjoy my new template with princesses. I couldn't find one I liked, I was going for a New Year's or even Utah one with the game this Friday, but couldn't find any so its the princesses for now. These past couple weeks have been good. Christmas was nice the usual hanging out family parties that sort of thing and I got a lot of nice gifts thank you everyone. I did get sick and had to go to the doctor on Christmas Eve which is a new one, but I'm glad he was there. All together this week I ended up with a double eye infection, this sore throat that last two weeks and lost my voice for a few days, and the stomach flu. I think I'm about 90% better and determined to keep pushing. I also sadly had to say bye to Lidia. It was hard, but I know even harder on her, so I'm looking at it as positive and I'm planning on trying to visit her during spring break in March, which I'm super excited about. I meant to do a Lidia tribute post but didn't get to it, maybe in the next few days, sorry Lidia. Let's see what else. I'm back at work today after not being here almost two weeks, I feel lazy but oh well it was Christmas. I have Thursday and Friday off with the New Year too! I'm preparing for the GRE I take next Thursday. Yes, I'm insanely scared, but oh well I'll just do the best I can at reviewing and all should go well. Oooh today I got back all my grades and I officially only need 15 more credits to graduate. I can't even begin to say how excited/happy I am. THink in like 4 months I"ll be a college graduate as long as I don't fail anything which you know is always a possibility. Man on Saturday since I hadn't been out of the house like all week I went to the mall to get some pants with the Christmas money I got and as I was shopping my phone sends me my email I got one from a professor about a class next semester. It's one I'm debating taking either that or another class to fulfill the requirement. Man after what she said already to have us do I think I want the other one. Plus its at 7:30 and I already have a 7:30 class the other three days a week. WHo knows, I just wish I could take easy classes and be done, but not quite. I also will start teaching primary again with this new year. Which reminds me I have to go visit all the little kids and take them this paper inviting them. I really need to remember to call the lady who teaches with me. I feel like today has been catch up day with my brain. Between that accident, being sick and just the mindset of Christmas I'm totally a space cadet. Anyway, just thought I'd give you a little update.

Crazy night

Last night I went to a Christmas party with my old work. I think I was technically Shelley's date haha but who knows. We went to Buca de Bepo up in Ft. Union. I"ve never been there and I must say it was amazing. It's served family style so they bring out all different types of dishes and you take a little of each. I thought it was a lot of fun and very very good food. Well, that's not the most interesting part of the night. I was driving home on 7200 South about 300 West stopped at a red light when some idiot slammed into the back of me. I think he must have been texting or just not paying attention. I felt like he was going 30 or so, but everyone keeps saying there would have been more damage if it was that fast. With how my head and neck hurts though I felt it was that fast but maybe since I was stopped it was less. When it happened I was terrified because it was late and really dark out. I started just crying and was about to call the cops but decided to call my dad. He, come to find out later, thought I hit someone and my airbags and everything deployed but really no it was someone who hit me. We kind of sat there then he I thought was leaving but really just trying to pull over. I finally went ahead and pulled into a hotel parking lot. It was dark and scary and I did not want to get out. I don't know why but the thought kept coming to me this guy would do something to me. I finally was like ok, I'll get out. I also was scared because I thought the back of my car would be totally smashed in, since it's a bug. I got out and was going to the back when he came up. I just told him my dad's coming and got back in the car. My dad finally got there we got his information, no cops because there's really no damage to my car just scraped some paint off. I'm not really hurt just sore and stiff on my neck with a headache. Well that's my story for the day. I swear something crazy always is happening especially around the holidays. It's snowing like crazy now and I didn't go into work today and glad I"m not out driving in this. Well, just had to tell you all my crazy adventure!

Just another day

Ok, so again I'm writing on this instead of doing my homework. In my defense I did one of the papers very late last night and spent a few hours on revising it. This one that I"m supposed to be working on now due at 11pm tonight is because I did it wrong the first time and he offered a higher grade if I redid it. Yeah I was mad 15 page game I created off a movie apparently he wanted it more of a movie then a game he's all you let the player make too many choices I'm like uh duh that's what a game is all about anyway I'll stop complaining about it just do it and not worry about it anymore. After that my semester is officially done!!!! I was supposed to have my finance test tomorrow, but took it Monday instead and I can't tell you how happy I am I did that. It's so nice not having that in the back of my mind to have been working on. I stayed home sick today I woke up with a little sore throat since I'm producing Saturday's radio show by myself I decided I really can't get sick and usually if I rest and try to get better early on I can prevent anything too bad. I don't know where my curse comes from getting sick around Christmas. Three years I've had the stomach flu one year bronchitius and pneumonia go figure. Anyway, I'm hoping it's maybe just stress and my body forcing me to rest or if I am getting something I can prevent getting really sick. So I have a funny story just in the middle of typing this I went to grab a drink. I have this little space heater outside my door Sam sleeps by. Now she's very smart she'll run around creating friction on the carpet then lay down. Well this time she must have been tired she was completely stretched out and in a deep sleep. She was just stretching her paws out even more when I walked by. I bent down to pet her very gently and she just flew up almost hitting the heater. She didn't hear me coming I guess and I must have scared her pretty bad. Even though its sad I must admit it was pretty funny. Man there was another story I was going to tell, but I can't remember it now hmmm well enjoy the snow I'm going to get back to finishing this game paper thing and I need to put in at least an hour study time on the GRE.

Midweek Recap

Well I just wanted to give a play by play update of what I've been up to this week. It may be kind of boring, but I love going back and rereading posts from like 6 months before to see what was going on in my life at that time. Monday started out very nice. First day without classes yay!! Normally I have 7:30 class and let me tell you that gets rough. I still woke up because I was taking my finance test that day instead of waiting until Friday when it was scheduled. I had to pay 5 bucks but its worth it to me I can barely retain stuff in that class for an hour let alone waiting a week and a half since we had our review. I had a chiropractor appointment at 9:00. I had to scrape my car that morning too. I think we're now at that time where every morning we're going to have to but that's alright. I love going to my chiro. I go faithfully once a month and seriously don't know what I"d do without it. My neck can get pretty bad out of place as well as my lower back and the adjustments just help to regulate it. I also can get pretty bad headaches and even though I'm sore for awhile after I go, it's totally worth it. My neck was especially bad MOnday so he used this weird almost looks like a gigantic needle thing to pressure point my neck. I wouldn't say it hurts just kinda feels like a weird pressure. I also get the stem therapy where they put heat with it. Oooh this feels good. I also love that office. Even the other two doctors who I don't see know my name and general stuff about me. The nurses usually hook up the stem machine, but mine went off and one of the doctors was standing there so he unhooked me and was talking to me about what was going on. I know it's something small, but for him to have that many patients of his own I don't even go to him and yet he still knows me I think is pretty good. After that I came back home to finish my studying. Once I felt ready I headed to school and took the test. Now I know I didn't ace it, but I felt better about this test then any of the others, so we'll see how I did. I then went to work for a couple of hours. Oooh you'll be so proud. Since I don't drink milk (it makes me very sick) I decided I really need calcium, so I went to Walmart and bought a bottle of calcium pills. I forgot to take one this morning, but I took the two yesterday, they're huge but I'm determined to do it so I have good strong healthy bones! Tuesday I woke up at 7:00, I had scheduled myself to be to work at 9:00, but I thought I could go in around 8:30. I left my house and it was snowing like crazy cars were sliding all around and everything. Last year my bug hardly had any problems, its problems come when the snow is too high and since it sits so low can't plow through it. I almost turned back at the state street exit on I215 but decided to keep going. I got up to where you get off for the two Canyons and there was a truck one side of me spinning out and the plows came through on the other side leaving a wall of snow beside me and up ahead just looked ten times worse. I decided to just get off and turn around. I had already been driving well over a half hour and the radio said there was a bad accident at the exit I needed to get off for. I made it home after an hour ordeal emailed my work and they were fine with it. I didn't do too much except watch some tv, clean up the house, think about doing homework and almost made cookies haha. I know pretty exciting day. Today I got up to go to the temple before work. Lidia and I went to the Salt Lake Temple. I've only been there once and it was years ago, so that was really cool. It leaves you with such a peaceful and happy feeling all day. See I told you it was my Christmas resolution haha to go before then and I actually did it! Now I'm at work about to go to a Junior high to help with presentations on catapults. We'll see how that goes. Then I need to start working on some papers that are due tomorrow at 11pm. Then I will be officially done with school for this semester and only one more semester to go. Oh yeah and no word on people doing letters of recommendation. I'll worry about it after we get back from this school....

Life's moving right along

As I'm sitting here on a Sunday afternoon of course checking facebook and updating my blog I realized how crazy life is going to get in the next few months. Assuming I get into at least one of these schools, it's going to mean huge changes. Granted I'll still be in school which I've been doing since I was 5, but grad school I think will require a different mindset then I have been for the last 16 years of my life. And that's just the start of it. If I go to BYU more then likely that will mean a change of job and moving down there. The U I'd have to find a job ( I don't think I can have this one as a grad student) possibly being a TA or something. If I don't go to either place that means finding a real person's job or something full time which will be really hard with how the economy is going right now. I was so excited today I met with the bishop and got my paper signed to go to BYU, it was an interesting interview to say the least he just kind of signed it and went over their dresscode with me and asked if I read the honor code. I was like yeah haha. I also asked for a temple recommend. He thought I meant to get my endowments out so he was saying I"m not sure I"ll have to talk to the stake president I"m not sure how far out they let you before you get married unless of course you're going on a mission. I was like whoa wait all to do baptism's. That's when we realized our miscommunication. It had me worried thinking I was that bad he had to check with the stake president first. I'm really excited to finally have a current one. I know it's bad, but I just never think to go in to get it renewed. I just put it off and kind of forget about it. I hope to make a CHristmas (no not New Year's because I need to start before New Year's) to go to the temple more often. I'll start out slow, not say like three times a week or anything, but maybe twice a month and progress from there. I think it will help with making the decisions I'll be required to make in the next few months. All this change may begin to be overwhelming, but I know in the end it will all work out. Well wow this post took a totally different direction then I meant for it to take, sometimes I feel mine our little journal entries and possibly stuff I shouldn't write for everyone to see but oh well and other peoples blogs are so cute saying exciting stuff they do with pictures, but I just don't seem to have anything too exciting going on anyway yeah enjoy your Sunday!

Snowy Saturday

After spending the day reading a book from cover to cover I decided I like snowy days. Granted it wasn't much fun when we finished the radio show (I was out the door had both hours uploaded to the website by 10:04 thank you very much) and it was an insane blizzard, by the time I scraped one side of my car off the other side got completely covered again, but I realized I like snowy blizzard condition days. I remember last year it seemed anytime it snowed I had to go to work or school or some party I just couldn't miss, but today nothing. I grabbed my blanket, slippers ( a few too many diet cokes) and just enjoyed being lazy. Now this strictly goes against my rules of no "fun" reading until the semester is over but I figured since I"m taking the GRE right before school starts in January I won't have free time anyway. Yes, I do have a final test on Monday and have to finish two papers but eh who cares. After reading I've had a new ambition to start creative writing. I'm sure it's something that will just die out in a little while, but it doesn't hurt to start some of my own creations. I know I won't be the next J.K Rowling (first off I don't have to write it on napkins) or Stephenie Meyer, but I think it'd be fun and in a way therapeutic. Now nothing could have made this day more perfect but a diet coke from sonic and sugar cookie mmmm, but your days can only be so good.

Boredom

Ok, so today boredom has reached an all time new level. I think it’s because I’m so tired from studying night and day I just have no motivation for work. It is now 1:35 and I have to sit here until 5:00. I’ve been here since 12:00 and seriously it’s the longest hour and a half I’ve ever been through. I went to an elementary down in Orem yesterday (oh what joy) but now I’m just in the office supposed to be working on the movies for their website. It is so very exhausting staring at the computer listening to professors talk about the importance of engineering everyday ( I think I’d especially die if I was an engineering major) On top of this I have this GRE to study for (which I find any excuse during work to do) and work on my other finals for this semester. I’m listening to my music now too which will hopefully make the time go by faster but seriously maybe the clocks aren’t working correctly and its really past 5:00 and I should be going home….hmmm wishful thinking I think. Oh haha funny story so today was our best of Newsbreak show and yes I’m in it! I am also camera person I could tell you which camera but it wouldn’t make much sense anyway I come on at the end to help sing Utah Man. We had problems and when we did the first show we were way overtime so they cut some of it out of the script then we reshot it. We had the cheerleaders there who couldn’t stay so when we went through it again (half the class had to leave since they had finals and class time was over) and this time we went up at the end singing Utah man. Well, there were issues with this so we did it again. I think they were going to splice different parts of all of it together, so it should be interesting. I made sure to hide in the back, but I think you can still kinda see me. I’m the one in red haha (we all were). Anyway, then I went to finance class last one of the semester!!! I requested to take the exam early next Monday instead of having to wait a week and a half to take it on our assigned day of Friday. I have to pay 5 bucks which totally sucks but oh well better then dragging it out an entire week longer then necessary. After typing this huge thing I realized I really need to post more pics….I’ll try to be better I promise I know it’s probably boring reading my ramblings all the time and not getting any pics. Well, I should get back to my amazing movie making. Hopefully I don’t pass out from boredom.

Life's changes

So I'm writing this with a bitter sweet heart. One of my very best friends decided she needed to move back with her family in Texas. This saddens me greatly but I'm proud of her to make a decision that hard and if she feels its what she needs to do then I support her 100 percent. Plus I figure it will give me more excuses to travel. I also will be graduating with my bachelor's this spring. We all know the debates I've had about what to do after I do graduate. After some serious thinking I've made up my mind and actually went through with it today. I decided I'm applying for both the U's and BYU's programs and if I don't get into either I"ll start my career. Don't ask me what will happen if I get into both and if I have some amazing job opportunity come up I can't pass then I honestly would hold off my master's. So that's my official but still sort of unofficial depending what happens decision. I decided it's best to have many options open, even if they were very expensive to keep open I've already spent $180 on application fees so far, just so nothings totally out of reach and I"ll have options. I actually am excited about it. THe next hard task is asking for recommendation letters, but I"ll just suck it up and ask. Sorry I know this is totally jumbled all over the place but that's how my brain feels today. I had to drive down to Orem to help with an engineering presentation and I gave a presentation today at Chalice's school on interviewing. Plus spending that much just on application fees hurts my brain by itself haha. Anyway, I just wanted to give everyone an update, I'll stop before I hurt my brain even more.

I HATE MATH

I just have to say one thing in case I go insane. MATH IS OF THE DEVIL!!!! Especially in investment classes!

Random Ramblings

Well hello everyone. I know it's been awhile. I actually was in the middle of a post last week and had to stop for some reason and never went back to finish it. I was like doing a play by play of my entire day for that day, it was actually kind of funny. Anyway, I have a feeling this is more just a bleh post nothing huge and exciting. I decided I need to start a count not only to the end of this semester (only two more weeks of actual classes!) but a count until when I graduate. I really really really can't wait. Now the only question is do I go to grad school or get a real persons job??? Who knows not me for sure. I have a friend that's interviewing for an internship with KSL. Ok get this it's non-paid 20 hours a week, they said the interview lasts about an hour and get up to date on current events. I was like ummm I don't want to go through that. Plus after applying so late and not getting it this semester I dont really know if I want to try for next semester....or get one somewhere else...or just do classes...I dunno. I officially can be done with the radio show, all my work is turned in, but I"m not sure how to tell them that or when to be done. I"m not getting paid and like Saturday I got yelled at by some crazy lady. So many decisions and grad school I"m running really close to deadlines actually I'm not even sure I can with the GRE, which I"ve only barely studied for. I do have it in with the grad dept here at the U, but two things I dont know how many strings they could pull for one and two I"m not sure about getting my master's at the same place I got my undergrad. On the entire other side of things I may just want to start up my own videography business. With how the economy is right now and how expensive getting all my equipment would be, I'm really not sure. On a brighter note I decided I"m going to the Utah Bowl game. I"m sooo excited they announce it on Sunday. I would be happy at any of the three places to be honest, so we'll see, I definitely need a trip though. I also found out this morning Joed is getting married that would be a good excuse for a trip to Cali. Hmm well that was an insanely random post, but there ya go.
