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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Field Trips and Fire Alarms...

Yes I went on a field trip today. Yes it was awesome. Yes I wished I could have seen the whole thing. We went to see the Golden Dragon Acrobats. They are from China. And they can stack 7 chairs on top of each other and then do all sorts of awesome tricks. They also did cool tumbling stuff jumping through these hoop things and balancing on things and other cool Chinese stuff.

Then there was a fire drill before 8th period. I am glad it wasn't too cold outside.

But really. On to more exciting things. Do you know where I was TWO years ago today?? I left on my mission two years ago today. I was saying goodbye to my family for the next 18 months and walking into the MTC bawling my eyes out and wondering what I had gotten myself into. Turned out to be pretty cool. I had a pretty amazing 18 months after that. It still amazes me how fast it all went by. I have now been home for 5 months. But I loved it all. The good days and the hard days. Too hard to explain at the moment. Just trust me. It was awesome.
