Orange ya gonna say orange again?

Ok. So I have never liked oranges. Until recently. When I started liking them. I prefer the little oranges. You know, the baby ones. Clementines. That's the name. Yes. I like those, they are tasty. But I like the big normal oranges too. Something that I never knew was that big oranges have little tiny oranges inside of them, on top (or bottom?). Like this...

See? See the little orange inside of big orange. It is. SO. CREEPY. I cannot explain it. But that little orange is hands down one of the creepiest things I have ever encountered. I have no idea why its creepy. IT JUST IS. The fact that there is small weird baby orange growing inside of your orange. Like in that one show where they lady is convinced that her twin was growing inside of her neck. In My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about. It's creepy like that. And I don't like it. Not one bit. It makes me want to throw the orange at the window. And it doesn't even taste good. ew. So grossed out. I don't know if anyone else shares in the creepy baby orange growing inside of the normal orange feeling. But now you know. Now you can always think of me when you eat your oranges.

Officially unemployed...

for ONE day and I am already CRAZY bored out of my mind.

But so far there has been one bright spot in my day. Well I guess I could say two.

1- mailed off my geography project. Done. Finished.

2- I ate a corn dog for lunch!!!!! It was delicious thank you very much. I have been wanting a corn dog for quite some time and I thought today sounded like the perfect day to eat one. So I did. And I loved it.

Also her are some sunsets for you to enjoy. They are both from the same spot on different days in Boqueron and I love them both a lot. These are from my first area when we lived like 5 minutes from the ocean!! Loved it. BY THE WAY. I HAVE BEEN HOME FOR ONE YEAR. On May 27 I have been officially home for a year. I didn't feel like writing anything a few days ago so sorry. Just know that it was amazing and I can't believe that the time has gone by SO quickly. So quickly. I think about Puerto Rico and the people I met there every day. I can't imagine how my life would be right now if I had not served a mission!! The end.

rain and graduation.

ITS RAINING OUTSIDE!!!!! I am kinda a fan of the rain minus the being cold part. Which I am right now. Cold. Very cold. And not doing my homework. Cause, yes its summer and I have homework.

The little brother graduated. From high school. So crazy.

Can you believe it?? Really I'm still not sure how this happened. I mean look at how tiny he used to be! Not so much anymore. But he's still pretty awesome. Congratulations! 

exciting things in the summer.

This is way more entertaining then the real music video. I suggest that you watch it right now.

SUMMER!!!!! O.M.G.

I love it. So far this summer I have played tennis, gone to the park, ridden bikes, gone hiking, gone to the movies, eaten out, gone to work, field trips, read books, and studied (a little) for my tests!!

Yay for summer.

Oh. One more exciting thing. My little brother. He's cool. He won FIRST place in the BYU invitational decathlon. (don't know the official name...) FIRST PLACE. There were 18 boys. 10 events. FIRST PLACE. Very exciting.  

Next week....back to class. But only for the week. And hopefully it includes lots of field trips. Cause that will be much more exciting that sitting in class all day.

Also. Go to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. It was SO. COOL. Don't mind that the only people you will see there will be pregnant mothers with there small toddlers. It's to cool. GO anyways. Even if you are childless. I got to touch a sting ray!! And there was penguins, jellyfish, little sharks, and more awesome stuff. So very cool. That's where I went on the middle school field trip. ps. Here are a few pictures. Sorry I didn't have a real camera or a fancy iPhone or something.

May the odds be ever in your favor...

Channeling Katniss Everdeen today.

Careful. My bow and arrow might be in my backpack right there.

(ps. its hard to take a picture of the back of your head)

Finals week...

So I have a final tomrowm that I need to study for. So naturally I was drawn to the Pottermore site that I have been hearing so much about and joined! I am MidnightNiffler290273283. I think the site is kinda confusing. And it looks like you have to go through a bunch of stuff to unlock things and blah blah blah. So we'll see how it goes.... I want a wand! I liked that it just gave you a choices for your name and wasn't forced to think up something creative on my own. Cause I'm terrible at that. Or maybe it wasn't for my (lack of) creative benefit and more so that everyone wasn't HarryPotter5898657752 and Voldermort29984464823 right?? I dunno. Whatever. My name is awesome and I feel very privileged though to now be apart of Pottermore. Congratulations. To me. Go MidnightNiffler.

Also. Can someone please tell me where I can find good audio books? In Spanish. That are cheap. Please. I need your help. 

la primavera.

Um. It's Spring!!! Have you noticed?? Seriously I love it. I do not love the cold. And I love that it is SPRING. Like that it as been raining and not super hot but just totally...spring. Love it. It seems to already be warming up lots but I'll take what I can get! I wish I could have taken a picture of the smell of the those trees. They are in my front yard. There are three of them. Stop by sometime and smell them. It's so lovely. And all the tulips! Those are at the Logan Temple. I'm a fan. I love tulips. They might be my favorite flower.

Also. LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL. I know that this is extremely uncool cause pretty much everyone and their dog is already done with school and finals. Up here we're still in the last week of class and then finals week is next week. SO CLOSE.

This is my foot. At Tattoo Tuesday. Henna. The glitter stuff came off but the sun is still there! I think my mom thought I was strange. I love it though! I couldn't decide where to put it. Cause if would have got one on my arm all the middle schoolers would have gone crazy and thought I was...I don't know. I 'm pretty sure there was something else really important that I needed to say..........I have been applying for jobs!! Aren't you proud of me! It's only April! I am being proactive! Pray for me! (no seriously. Cause I need a job this summer.) Hopefully something will turn up. I feel like it will. Pretty sure that wasn't the important piece of information that you needed to know but I'll just be done now.

I love lunch carton milk.

So I have a journal. Like a real journal. A little book with lined pages that I write in and nobody gets to read. I got it for my birthday. I never ever ever wrote in a journal before my mission. During the mission I was an awesome journal writer. Then I came home and nothing. So the journal for the birthday. I have only written in it a few times. But seriously I love it. I mean this ole blog thing is a form of a journal. But a real journal. So much cooler. Just sayin'

Spring Break # 2 was so lovely. But I am glad to back at work and having something to do during the day. And. Today they are hold some sort of Republican thing at the school. They were practically stealing the table underneath the pear eating children. (Yes we had pears today. They were yummy. I ate one.) BUT. I totally saw Orrin Hatch. Yup.

To end this boringness that is my rambling I am going to go return the shoes. Sigh. I know it's sad. But it has to be done. I just know that I won't wear them enough and feel ridiculous the whole time. So much for embracing....

Spring Break #2

Hey! Who watched General Conference? me! Who loved General Conference? me! Who saw David Archuleta in the MTC choir? Not me!!! I was watching the whole time. And I missed it. Sigh. Conference was really good though.

So I have a confession to make. I like shoes. Like. A lot. I love shoes. So much. I have another weakness. For high heeled shoes. I don't usually make it a practice of wearing them cause I kinda feel like a giant sometimes, usually, all the time. I wore some for the first time in like 3 years last Sunday. But I bought some today. Wedges. First pair ever. I am not sure how I feel about them. I might return them. My mom said I should just embrace it and enjoy it. Just because I'm tall doesn't mean I can't wear high heels. So. We'll see. I might return them...or maybe I'll just embrace it.

Oh and....Spring break #2!!!!! I don't have work for a whole entire week and I'm so excited I can hardly stand it I don't even know what I am gonna do with myself cause I am not gonna have to work at all and I guess I'll just have to read and do my homework and do....stuff. And I can't wait!!!!!!

Oh and P.S. I bought a plane ticket to Guatemala this week. Cause I'm cool like that. 

Looky here.

So I'm at the library. Doing homework ie blogging, surfing the net, music video watching, email checking, people watching, and pondering the meaning of life in general. Very productive I think. All I have to do is write one silly little paragraph about why something is a good thing. Only in my opnion (one of those darn words I will never. ever. be able to spell correctly). I don't t think its a good thing cause I don't think it works. I would tell you what its about but it'd be so boring that it will be more interesting to keep it a mystery.

Someone just walked up the stairs with a Hunger Games shirt on. I have officially purchased my ticket for the Friday night 9:40 showing. We went to go get  tickets to the midnight showing earlier this week and the girl so (not) kindly (snot-ily) told us that those sold out in the last week of February. Geez. Sorry.

And the last item on my list today. Music!! My new favorite boy band. One Direction. The are British. Go listen. I promise you'll love it. And the other. Who I literally just discovered seconds (ok minutes) ago on someone elses blog. Brooke Fraser. She's great. All three songs that I have listened to I have loved.

Ok. Me voy.

Spring Break...

HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED!!!!!

Well REALLY it started at like 9:43 when I finished my Spanish test. WHICH. I totally ACED because she let us use our notes.

And the Utah Symphony came to the middle school today. I got to see BOTH performances. Lucky me. I feel so cultured.

In honor of Spring Break I went to the library yesterday. I checked out like five book. I didn't even realize I had that many till I was checking them out. (Just because it's spring break doesn't mean I won't be up in Logan since I have to work since I need me some DINERO.) I am going to Park City for 2 days though so that should be just super a lot of fun. (Have I ever told you how much I LOVE Park City? I won't start now. Just know. Love)

So yes. I am now officially breaking. Reading. Park Citying. Sleeping. Enjoying. LOVING SPRING BREAK.

P.S.I watched Footloose last night!!!!

Words of the Day.

or..... s-h-o-u.....w...no,no don't tell me...a...no...d...no, that's not it. Don't tell me! s-h-o-u- ....e...no...uhh....f....no that's not right! I don't remember, don't tell me!

(Guess it depends on who you ask)

Spanish.
descuartizar
Definition- To tie each limb to a horse and then have them "snatched" from your body. Sounds pretty pleasant right?

ok. gotta go now.

ohmygosh ohmygosh. I just watched the new Hunger Games trailer. It had a lot of the same stuff but there was some new stuff too! Oh gosh I am so excited for the movie. It actually looks like its going to be good and go with the book pretty good. Hi. I'm a nerd. Seriously so excited. I got the chills while I was watching it. Saren (the emotional roommate) she did too.

So last weekend was big people. Real big. Wendover!!! Yes. I took the FUN BUS to Wendover. Bus drive was awesome. The hostess lady was hilarious. I have some pictures but I have just discovered that my computer doesn't have the space for the camera chip....(this computer just keep getting better and better...) But go look at Jamil's Facebook. She has the pictures there and they are awesome. I would keep explaining the awesomeness of it but I just don't feel like it would do it justice. So go enjoy and the pictures can tell the story.

Today is also Valentine's Day. The middle schoolers had a dance. I was very jealous that I couldn't go cause they actually play good songs the whole time unlike the college dances where I would say its like 4 dumb songs to every 1 good song. Sigh. But its probably a good thing since I would probably look kind of ridiculous dancing since half the people don't seem to know if I am an employee or student.

Groundhogs Day

Or in other words....My birthday!!!

Yup its today.

Today though I competed in my first ever race. Well it wasn't really a competition but it was legit. It was timed and we had numbers and got medals and there was even a drink station halfway through!! It was a 1k around the school. My time was 10 minutes 59 seconds. (We couldn't run in the hallways) Not that I ran outside though. haha. yup. Why would I ever run?

There was something that I think I wanted to complain about but I guess I'll spare you for the moment.

I just saw that there is supposed to be 6 more weeks of winter. I have no comment.

But I was so excited that it was still light at 6!!! It made me happy.

Holy Smokes!

Hey there folks. So my internet is being kind of stupid. Or rather. My computer. The internet appears to work just fine in most locations. Except my apartment. Which is kind of an important place for it to be working. Yeah. I know. SOOOOooooo annoying. It worked for a few days when I first came back up to school. Then nothing. Then I went home for a bit. It worked. Then back to Logan. It works for like 30 minutes. Then nothing. I have now been internetting for an hour. Still working....so we'll see. It makes me very angry.

Also. Macbooks are very confusing. The middle school uses them. And it always takes me forever to figure stuff out. Sorry Macbookers. Not a huge fan.

Also. SOPA? I had never heard of it till today. But I do know the Google blacked out there logo and I could not use Wikipedia today. (Is that bad that I have the middle schoolers look up info on Wikipedia?) haha. Anyways.

It's Janurary. It's cold. It's snowing.

I am kind of sick of my music. I need a new song to listen to.

I got a planner for Christmas. It makes me happy.

I need to take more pictures in my life. I don't think have taken more than like 3 in the last seven months.

Well I guess I better be done with this before the computer decides that it no longer wants to let me be on the internet.

Lovely.

So my break was just as lovely as could be expected. It was so nice to not have to work or think about school. And be able to read. I haven't read as much as a wanted too but I have been doing other awesome things so its okay.

Christmas was really a very excellent day. I think I mostly loved it all because I haven't been home for Christmas for the past two Christmases. Of course I don't have any pictures to show you wonderful people cause the camera was nestled safely in my room for the entire break. On Christmas Eve we don't really have a set tradition I'd say. We do different stuff it just depends I guess. The one tradition we do have though is bean dip!!! We always always eat seven layer bean dip for dinner on Christmas Eve. This year we went with my grandma and went and looked at the lights around town and then out at Willard Bay. Christmas morning was also lovely. (Everything is just so lovely today.) We always always have orange cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning. So very yummy.

I have been reading!!!! Yay!!!! Yesterday I read the second Hunger Games book. I honestly couldn't even tell you what it was called. It was so good though. I sat and read the entire thing from cover to cover yesterday after work. Now I need thee third one! But I have heard some things about the third one....so we'll see. 

Also. I am reading another trilogy. Mistborn. By Brandon Sanderson. I have a problem. So I am totally going to ruin some things here so if you plan on reading them stop reading now. They have been pretty good so far. I have just started the third one. But people. Come on. You know that doesn't mean anything. I always read ahead to see what happens. (I don't care what you say. It's so much better that way.) THEY DIE. He kills of the two MAIN characters of the book. I've got. LOTS. of problems with this. I'm sorry but I don't want to invest all this time and energy reading and getting attached to these characters and then you KILL them. It's a BOOK. So whatever moral of the story or sacrifice or whatever the crap it is your trying to convey can be done with keeping all the main characters alive. Such as Harry Potter. Yes, friends and loved ones die but HARRY doesn't DIE. I'm kind of upset. But I'll probably read it anyway. Cause I need to know why in the world they have to die. Even though I know it was totally unnecessary.

So I was telling you about my break. Know that it was good. It was SOOooo hard to drive back up to Logan to go back to work. But its okay cause there is still a few more days before school starts.

1...2...3...break!

School is over. It's the best. I did good in all of my classes!! There were a few technical difficulties (like having an F for a little bit. Due to said technical difficulties) But everything is ok and the essay went well.
"I enjoyed reading and you presented a logical and well organized Essay #3."
Glad he thought so....

Work is almost over which is also suuuper exciting. Then a nice long break!!!

And I get to read!!! I have quite the list so we'll see if I get around to it. Right now I am reading the last Eragon book which I can't even remember the name of right now. It's really long. But really good. And I want to finish the Hunger Games books!!

I just read a bit ago that David Archuleta is going to serve a mission. Seriously this makes me so happy. I don't know why. But it does. Go watch the video. It will make you want to cry. So cute.

Also watched the trailer for The Hobbit. Which doesn't come out until NEXT December. Out of all of the Lord of the Rings books The Hobbit was my favorite. And being reminded of this it has been added to the list of book to read over the break. So like...11 books or something...A little ambitious I think but hopefully I'll maybe be able to read during the semester since I only have 5 credits....

I have no idea why it's posting with such big spaces. argh.

New Year's Eve.

I just watched this movie. For free. The day before its supposed to come out. (A much better alternative to homework I think.)

Yes it was good. So good! I loved it I really did. Even more because it was FREE.

It was way better than Valentine's Day. (Which I just barely found out existed like a week ago.)

It was funny, sad, happy, and even threw ya for some curve balls. Well maybe like one. Or two? It was a good one though. Didn't see it coming.

Loved it. Really. So good. Go see it! (Even if you have to pay for it.) It's worth it!

Thanksgivingness

I've been wanting to tell you all about my wonderful Thanksgiving but....I've been reading. Holy. Cow. I haven't read a book since I got home six months ago. Isn't that the saddest thing you have ever heard. So I am currently trying to catch up...right before school is done. Great idea on my part right...not really. I didn't go to class today cause I was reading. I have read two sin a week. I just finished the Hunger Games and am currently dying because I cannot let myself read the others until school is officially over because I will officially get nothing done if I am reading them.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Thanksgiving holiday though. I didn't do anything to crazy. Just my grandma and uncle came over and we ate. A lot. It was delicious. It was so fun to be home and chillin' with the fam. That night we went and saw The Three Musketeers movie. It was pretty good. I feel like there is definitely more I wanted to write but since I waited so long I've forgotten all the good stuff...story of my life.

Also, football season is officially over. Well for me anyway. The little brother and his team made it to the championships and just couldn't quite win it. It was so sad. I wanted to cry when they game was over. If you really want to hear all the details you can read the other brothers blog. But basketball season has already started! Which I enjoy so much more than football. (ok I just look at my brothers blog and he didn't post anything about their last football game. But go look anyway.)

Well I guess that's about it. My first Thanksgiving back was wonderful and I couldn't have asked for more. Now I'm going to read some....I mean...do homework.

Post.

Hey there! It's been awhile. But don't worry. Everything is still pretty much the same. Ipod is still lost. It's so sad I can't even take it. My eye is still twitching. And I am still ridiculously excited for the holiday festivities to begin!! I don't have class tomomwom and work is done at 12:30 and then I'm free!!! Well I have to take a test too. So maybe a little later but still. So awesome.

Today at work. Someone asked me to spell weird. When I spell weird its usually wierd. It just looks better that way. Wierd. And the teacher corrected me. And then I felt dumb. Cause I'm supposed to know that kinda stuff. Apparently not.

Thanksgiving is this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
