on the up and up

Dear blog,

I have a lot on my mind and I figure I might as well just share it. I also have lots of new things that are happening in my life and I feel the need to share it. Today was my first day as a sophomore in college. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. The new things about this year are as follows:
1. I have new roommates. This batch makes a total of 15 roommates since I arrived at BYU last summer. I have a feeling that this batch is going to be a really good one.
2. I am living in an apartment. It is so cute! It is also off campus so I enjoy myself a little walk to campus every day.
3. I am living with my most wonderful friend Brynn. We are already having so much fun together. We've met a lot of new people, and all of them have been great! I am so excited for the new friends.
4. I now know how to best manage my time and I have learned how to have fun while still being studious. I have also been really good about going to the library....hopefully that will reflect in my grades.
Those are the good things that are new....here are some bad
5. I am taking calc 2. I have been referring to it as my boyfriend this semester. It's going to be so hard and I already feel discouraged. I know I can do hard things though and I am determined to do well.
6. I am not living with the Hay. I try not to think about it (and I am sorry to make you read this lee) but I just want the world to know that I wish every day that she was still attached at my hip. I miss the girl to death. Stop crying Haley...the thought is making me cry.
7. I am far away from Katers. Life is definitely not as fun without her around. I did get to see her for like a second on campus today though and it made my day. I hope to see you sometime soon freak.
8. I don't get meals made for me.....

So that's how I feel about that. Now for my day.I only had two classes. The first was calc which was death. I am already scared out of my pants. Then I had environmental bio and that was wonderful. I am really really excited for that class. My teacher is really cool too. His name is Aanderud pronounced On Da Rude. Kinda weird. People were really nice to me today too. I forget how friendly BYU is. On the way home from class a girl actually just randomly said hi to me and we talked to whole way back to our apartments because she lives in King Henry.

Another exciting thing that happened on Monday was that we had ward FHE. We all had to go around and introduce ourselves and My roommate Elizabeth told me that while I was standing up a boy behind her said, "Wow, she's really cute!". We still haven't figured out who it is, but we do have a few guesses. Luckily none of them are really that dateable...plus I already have my boyfriend Calc 2 ;)

That's basically all that happened on Monday. It was a fun day indeed.

home!

So this blog update is long needed! I have lots of things that I have wanted to blog about but without 8 hours sitting on my butt at work anymore it all just seems pointless and kinda hard to get around to. So I guess I will just write a little bit about what it is like for Adam to be home.



This is the fam at the airport...you like the matching shirts? It was my idea. We waited at the airport for what felt like an eternity because my mother was freaking out about being on time and what not. We were on time alright. We all held posters and stood there. My mom said that we were making her sick because we were all jittery and couldn't stop jumping. Every person we saw walking in a suit made us flip. I swear he was the last person to get off his plan and then he walked all slow and went down the escalator that was more filled with people just to make us wait longer...he's such a butt.Well the first thing I noticed about him was that he was skinny as freak! He was also really tan. I couldn't stop staring at his face. I've gotten used to it now. It's basically as if he never left now. I am super glad that he's home because I really missed him while he was gone. I am excited for all the adventures we're going to have at BYU starting next week. It's going to be EPIC!

it's honesty time....

So currently I am in P-Town. That's right I was brave enough to return before I even had to. Being here has made me realize that I do kinda miss this place in a really strange way. I have been staying with my bestest friend Karen and we have been having ourselves a blast! Karen and I just watched 17 again but we both fell asleep...it's been a long day. Well now I am up and I figured we still have a few hours before we have to go to Humor U so I might as well just write a little bit about how this weekend has gone. Sooo I am just going to talk about today, because I am lazy and it's kinda all I can remember, it's becoming one big blur. So we woke up early this morning to go to BYU/SA meeting. After that we walked to the temple and as we're approaching we see like 1029381203982 missionaries playing sports on the lawn. I know a few people in there and I was like there is no way I am going to see anyone I know. Well we made it all the way to the temple and I dind't see anyone I knew. On the way out, there were still missionaries all over the place. Me and Karen have already had a week filled with avoiding and so we've gotten pretty good at being stealthy. Well here's the thing. So I see a familiar ginger in the distance and I was like holy crap that's Nick Ashton! I wasn't going to go up and talk to him obviously, because I don't want to distract him and plus I already said goodbye and we've been writing so actually see him already really freaked me out. Well I guess we're not as stealthy as i thought because from a pretty good distance away Nick instantly recognized me. I was like Karen oh my gosh I told you that was Nick....and then we couldn't avoid it haha. So we walked over there and talked to him...I felt a little like I was sinning because he's all an Elder and what not now. It was definitely unreal though. I mean I still feel very close to him in all the letters we wrote but I kinda forgot he's a real person...so yeah he is. We talked for a bit and then i saw Jon Moberly run by and thennnn as we're walking away Ryne Simmons says hi to me and I was just like...WHAT THE? This is unreal. So yeah it was super weird and I am still totally weirded out.

After that we went hoe and we ate left over Cafe Rio and then watched probably 10 episodes of Hannah Montanna...so hilarious. Then we ate pasta and watched 17 Again, which is a really awesome movie, and reminds me that me and Karen saw the midnight showing of Charlie St. Cloud the other night with her friends Lexi and Meagan. It was very good especially since Zac is soooo fine. Now I think I am going to wake up Karen so we can get ourselves all pretty for Humor U...the avoiding is all done yet....we have to be safe, and more especially look good. Wow I smell. OK well that's all for now.

Things you don't know about me because you probably don't want to.

1. I really like salad burps
2. I would prefer you fart in my face rather than burp. I know it's weird but I really do think burps are more disgusting than farts.
3. I hate shaving
4. I love biting pencils
5. I think it's fun to scratch rocks on my teeth
6. I want to die in a volcanic explosion
7. I don't think newborns are cute
8. I covered my dorm ceiling with starburst wrappers as a symbol of my favorite bodily function at its best.
9. I really want white hair when I am an old lady
10. I don't like to be touched
11. I don't find people attractive...
12. I don't have a middle name and throughout my life have made them up-Annalisa, Rose and Unique were the main ones.
13. I am not friends with white people (unless they're Mormon)
14. I really like watching stupid TV shows.
15. I am the world's lightest and most restless sleeper
16. I am quick to forgive
17. It will take me years to get over something emotionally, but I pretend I am OK
18. I don't think pictures of naked babies in flowers, silk, pots etc, are cute.
19. I don't like hugs

21. It is my dream to play the cello again someday.
22. I wish I could play the hercamatta like Stevie Wonder!

So you think you're as hott as Kent?

Well it is in fact true that I am a huge fan of "So You Think You Can Dance". This year has been one of my favorites though. This year they started out with a top 10 instead of top 20 and the other 10 were made up by previous contestants. So each week a contestant from this season dances with an allstar from a previous season. I am really glad that they have brough back 2 of my favorite allstars, TWITCH and Neil! Oh they are so yummy!



Well when you mix all that yumminess with the amazing dancers this season it becomes a really really great show. My favorite from this season was Alex. Everyone loves him though. Unfortunately he had an injury and was eliminated :( He was definitely the best dancer the show has ever seen though. Luckily he is coming back next year! I can't wait to watch him again. So Alex is a ballerina...ballerino...whatever. So for him to do hip hop and kill it was incredible:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLtSfYX8tJk that is one of my favorites that he did with Twitch.

So now my favorite and one that I loved from the beginning is Kent Boyd. I think he will win it. My favorite dance that he did was with Lauren a few weeks back...they're in love. So cute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf1t7VJ1jX4&feature=related
K but seriously like the most adorable thing ever. If you don't already watch it you should. It's wonderful.

Uhhhhh....I think I have a flat tire.....

So Haley was all getting on my case for not updating recently. I have been seriously trying to think of something to post about but I couldn't think of anything. Yes my life is that boring. My day goes as follows, wake up in 30 minutes I am showered, hott ;) and out the door, another 30 minutes or so in the car, 3 minute walk from the Civic Center to my lovely Wells Fargo Building. I check the printers to make sure all the paper trays are stalked. I turn on the phones. Check the messages. Log in to my computer...then I usually remember to grab a spoon for my yogurt (I some how forget every single day). Then my duties are basically done for the day until mail time at 3. So as I am laughing at my title of this post (only true friends will appreciate) I am realizing that my life is FILLED with lots of Uhhhhhhhh moments. Like uhhhh should I play tetris, or blog stalk...Or uhhhh should I wipe the table even though it's clean? Oh here's a good one. UHHHH should I eat that Milkyway that is calling my nameeee, or drink that delicious Dr. Pepper that will make my butt huge? Yeah my life is lots of uhhh moments indeed. Speaking of I am having a FAT what should I write? uhhh moment right now. So I think I will just end this by saying uhhhhh I am done.

because i love you

I have a handful of close friends, people I love, people I tell everything to and go to for advice, people I admire and people who are the best in the world. This past year I have met a few people that I now am having a hard time living without. It's weird how the people I met just in this past year have had a bigger effect on me than some people I have known for years. I love these people soooo much and I wish every day that I could be with them. So there are 5 people that I miss the most and so this is for them!
If your name is Britty, Bobean, Hay, Katers, or Karencrust....this is for you ;)

To britty: I have known you the longest and you were my very first college roommate. We have had some unforgettable times. My favorite would definitely have to be eating pasta roni with parmesan bread like every day, and then that weird talk we had that one time late at night....the time you drew on my legs, our first thunderstorm, our first explosion, dancing in the kitchen, discovering natural reader haha, taking naps like every 5 seconds, and the after nine voice. To even think that I've known you for over a year now is insane because I can still remember the first night we had together when we went to bed at 9 haha. I love you!





To bobean: It's kinda funny how we both had thought we could never be close. I just adore you Robin Rodgers. I love that you are one person I can always laugh at dirty jokes with, how you love my stories about my family and how you laughed when I came bursting into your room with no clothes on after knowing me like a week. I really miss watching Modern Family with you and freaking out together about Vampire Diaries orcoming home on a Wednesday night and screaming GLEE! I miss crying with laughter when I am with you. I also really miss making jokes about geology....like the time I wrote you that poem, oh man I am so funny!!! I love that I can call you during the day now! I love that you're always there for me!





To my dearest Katers: Living with you was one of the craziest experiences of my life. We went through a heck of a lot and I can honestly say I don't know if I could have made it without your loving advice and horse sweater complete with Oregon sweats. Some of my favorite memories with you begins with asian aerobics,collecting goldfish cards, staying in bed all day, dancing in the shower and wearing our robes....taking our boobs off haha,starburts, vitamin c pills and freezing our butts off on the way to the gym. You're a gem Katy Chamberlain. I also really in a strange way miss you singing to me while playing guitar and I miss your Nester voice. I do not miss your snoring.





To KarenCRUST: I am really glad that freshman academy gave us the opportunity to meet. I remember when we first started becoming friends and we would have all these moments where we would both love the exact same thing, like LOST or the same music and so on. I love that we both got the experience of learning from Dr. Booth...I don't know if any of my other friends would love him the way you do. My memories with you can really all be narrowed down to St. George, study sessions and sitting on my bed sharing journal entries, and that one time I was crazy when we walked to the temple together and we sang Aaron Carter on the way home. I love you kaweeennn! 2 weeks!!! COSTA VIDA!!!!




To Hay: Oh Hawee baby butt where do I even begin?? Becoming friends with you has been one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. You understand me, and are there for me in hard times. You're like the wisest 19 year old I know. I am really really really really really, like really sad that we will not be living in Sparks together in the fall. I will be sure to give you a skype tour and don't worry because we will live there sometime soon. My favorite memories with you-trying to fly, eating popcorn like every day, that scary chicken we ate with our rice, your butt and watching Chuck are some of my favorites. Love you so much Hay.
