Blah

If I haven't already said this...ONLINE CLASSES SUCK!
I would much rather sit in a classroom and be lectured. Not my cup of tea either but it's better than online classes I think. So I should be doing some homework but well instead I am blogging! :) But wait, don't you think I haven't done anything. Yesterday I did some homework that was due that day and some that isn't even due till tomorrow. I intend to get ahead or at least on schedule but it is pretty hard. I'm on schedule but there is just SO MUCH to do.
Today I decided to be a good student and work on some homework that is due tomorrow so I decided to go to Starbucks but before I went there I stopped by at the old lady's house where I am staying to switch my shoes. I get there and see that she is not home so I go into the office turn on the TV and the computer. Changed my plans and decide to do my homework there since it is quiet and nobody to bother me. As soon as I go to byui.edu I hear the garage door open. Great! I jump to turn the TV and computer and grab my stuff to leave and go with my original plan. She gave me some flowers to take with me and worried that I am not getting enough nourishment so she gives me some cheese and slices of bread to take with me...ummm yeah lol. I told her that I had just eaten but she still gave me the bread and cheese. I managed to escape and finally went to Starbucks so that I could use their wifi.
Well.....there was this random weird guy there. He was a customer and standing near the front. He asked me how I was and I tell him I'm okay. I then order my drink and he is just standing there a little bit off to the side. He then feels for some reason that it was okay to touch my shoulder and ask how my day went. Uhhh.....creeper get your hand off of me! He didn't leave it there but it was still just gross. I tell him it was good and then walk away. I sit down at a table and make sure to spread all my stuff out so that he doesn't get the idea that there is room for him to join me. I get my laptop out so I can start my homework like a good girl and guess what!!!! My laptop decides to be dead and of course I did not have my charger with me. So I pack up and sip on my drink. I notice that this guy is just walking around and then starts talking to some girl sitting down and then to the worker making drinks. He is extremely loud that I am sort glad that my laptop was not working. I would not have been able to concentrate.
Well what I ended up doing was leaving because I did not want to hear this guy anymore and move my car to the back hoping that I could still get wifi there. I get my laptop out. Feel really dumb because well you guessed it, I forgot that my laptop was dead. I am now back at the Moultons and have no desire to do my homework anymore. I'll probably end up going back to Vivian's since she is going to some play I think for like 3 hours or not do it until tomorrow. Ugh!!!! School sucks. End of story.

Senescence, like senile! Old People! Got it! Got it!

There is so much I want to do but not enough time.
First off, I am taking online classes this semester. This semester is my off track and I decided to take some online classes to graduate on time. I was behind a little. Well, online classes suck! I hope I don't have to take another one again. I have so much work to do this week. A whole lot of reading and stuff. I also have work tomorrow at 11 and then workshop for work at 3. I wish I could just be done with school already. Yes, that would be amazing. Also, I wish that I could move in with Drew. We just need to be married already.
Well I am living with an old lady from his family ward and well she is yeah. We had asked her before I moved in how much she would want for rent and she said to not worry about it and that she did not want anything. She also wants me to eat with her like all the time. The Moultons have told me that she has given like old food to some missionary or somebody and they had to eat it. She asked me if I wanted to have breakfast with her the other day and I decided to go with oatmeal, thought that was a safe route. It was.
I feel bad because she has nobody and I want to be out but also do not want to leave her. I leave in the morning to see Drew before he goes to work and sometimes go back to Vivian's to visit with her for a bit but she tries to get me to stay. It is hard. Well yesterday I went around noon to visit her and helped her with some camera and computer stuff and I had to get going. As I was walking out she said oh we haven't talked about rent. I was thinking 200. How does that sound? We can talk more about it later.
Well, like I said earlier we had asked before I moved in to make sure that I could and now she is asking for 200 a month. Oh yeah, she said it'll be like a bed and breakfast thing. Could she be making me pay for me to stay? So that I am there with her? I don't know. I am not saying I expect to not pay, she is providing me with a bed to sleep on but that is all I do there. I do not eat or do laundry there. I don't know. Well today Drew told me that he told his mom about what Vivian is doing and that he is planning on moving out to an apartment and have me move in his old room with his family. I don't know. I guess we will see how this turns out.

The Springs

So I have been in Colorado Springs for about a week and I already have a job!!! I start today in about an hour but I have ben wanting to blog for over a week now. I thought I would let you all know what is going on over on this side of the mountains. I will be working for Red Robin, being a hostess. I am pretty excited. I hope I do well. Carl's Jr also called me back for an interview but I decided to say no to them. For two reasons...
1. I am not so excited to work at a fast food place.
2. Steven worked there and his brother works in corp. for Carl's Jr. Soo.....yeah.

Well I better get going and get ready. Wish me luck!

Venting =/

Great start of the day. I went tanning, went to goodie's cookies, and had some sushi. Yes, by myself but it was definitley some well needed alone time.

Well....my dad and I don't really communicate all that well. We were discussing my schedule for this upcoming weekend and it of course got turned into such a big argument. It went to not being grateful, growing up, taking stuff away like phone and car and walking back, trying to get me to stay in Visalia or Rexburg or Provo and taking classes. Well I don't want to stay home for this very reason. I do not want to argue with my dad like we used to when I was in high school. He wants me to grow up when I am still treated as a child. I understand that they both want the best for me and want me to do exactly what they say but I am almost 20 and am perfectly capable of making my own decisions. I know that my decisions will not always be the correct ones but I need to learn for myself as well. I love them very much. They have done so much for me.

During our argument it reminded me of well this clip.  lol

Mommy and Me

I absolutely adore my mother! She is just so cute.
We used to go on little mommy and Deanna dates. I sure missed those while I was in Idaho. Well today I got to go on a mommy date! All Day Long!
We got our eyebrows threaded.
Bought MAC makeup.
Went to Victoria's Secret and my mom bought me a really cute sweater.
Had lunch at Chipotle!
And...we got pedis!!
So there is this thing called paraffin wax that makes your skin really soft. I love it! This is what it looks like when it's not hot liquid.
Funny looking I know but it feels so nice!
Well., this is how my toes turned out...
I love my mom so much! She has done so much for me and continues to do so. She is the nicest person I know.

It was also 72 degrees today! Such a nice day! I sure have missed California. I don't want to leave :(

Winter in Hell

Winter Wonderland? I don't think so. I spent winter in Rexburg, Idaho. Yeah, pretty sucky place. It is such a small town and there is absolutely nothing to do here. Everything closes at 10 at night and there is no mall. Wal-Mart is Rexburg's mall. Sad I know. Oh, and it is always windy and cold here. It is always snowing here too, I hate it! Well I managed to have a pretty fun semester even with all of that. Today is my last day in Rexburg for a while. Woohoo!!


I had my last final today. I got 100% nbd.
Cleo is such a great friend. She is adopting my betta fish for the summer. She bought him a new bowl and a plant to put in it. He is going to have such a great time with her.
Me, Jennie, Cleo, and Nicole went to Sammy's today. They take FOREVER to get you your food but it is pretty yummy. I recommend getting the hawaiian smoothie or shake.

Here is a little bit of what happened this semester...












Great Semester! Well I better start my clean check and maybe go to bed. Leaving for Cali at 5 in the morning. AHHHHH!!!

109

I was very lucky to have awesome roommates this semester. We are all so different but it worked out so well. I am sure going to miss them.

Sam Bryant left to go home a couple weeks early. She loves to have a clean house. I liked that because the house was always spotless. We each did our part to keep the apartment clean. Sam would keep the temperature on low and I would freeze my little bum. The first thing that came out of her mouth it seemed like when she walked into the apartment was that it smelled. It would always be a different scent though.


Kati Miner is from Idaho. She is tall and gorgeous. She is way sweet. We are both Elementary Education majors. She is graduating this semester. I loved having her as my roommate. She was such a great help. She told me which professors to stay away from.


Jill Medina is quite the character. She is the funniest person ever. She can always make me laugh. You never know what will come out of her little mouth. Her singing is the best part!


Alyssa Marquiss is my best friend up here in Idaho. We met our first semester up here back in Summer of 2009. I loved sharing a room with her. We had some pretty awesome conversations at night. We did pretty much everything together. We shopped for groceries together and made dinners together. We hung out with each other every weekend. Most of the weekends consisted of getting a redbox and staying in but hey we had fun. I am going to miss her. She better be here next Winter...just sayin.



Marissa Landrum is a redhead. She speaks her mind. She is deaf. Well she just can't hear us sometimes. It's funny. She is from Kansas. She loves horses. I can totally see her owning some horses when she is married and has her own home.

End of the Tunnel

The semester is coming to an end (Thank Goodness!!) Today was my busiest day.

Had to print 23 things off for my Children's Literature final.
Note: Make sure when you print in the library to check that you are printing to the Mckay black and white printer. If you fail to do so then you have to deal with looking like a total idiot when you swipe your icard at the printer and there is nothing on the screen.

Done with my Education Technology class. I now know how to create a powerpoint with advanced features, how a spreadsheet works, tackle word processing, and use advanced searches on the internet. Tech savvy? Not even close.

The biggest part of my day was the scary Global Climate Change final. It was an in class final so we'll see how I did. I can now relax for a bit. Sucky part though is that I have to go to class Friday morning at 8:45 to see presentations for Children's Lit. I think it's stupid but what can you do? My Doctrine and Covenants final should be a piece of cake. Woo!!

Saturday is going to be amazing! Alyssa and I will be driving to our well missed homes in California. I may have forgotten what sunshine looks like. It will be a long trip but hey that is what ipods are for!

Things I am looking forward to in California-
1.The Sun
2.My Mom
3.My Bed
4.Chipotle LOVE!
5. In-N-Out
6.Goodies Cookies
7.My Grandma and Her Cooking
8.45 MPH in Town instead of 25
9.Starbucks
10.Malls
11.Dish Network and DVR
12.Wear Shorts and T-Shirts and NO Sweater!
13.Driving with the Top Down
14. Being in an Actual City

Typical Rexburg Night

Jennie is back in Rexburg and well naturally when you live in a freezing town you need to have milkshakes. They were OH SO YUMMY!!
Oh how I have missed Jennie. Jennie and I used to have well an awesome relationship last semester. I will blog about that some other day. Anyways, so tonight Jennie and I had milkshakes in the lounge and watched some apartment hunting show. We were having a blast until this really weird couple walked in. I'm pretty sure they only came to the lounge to make out. Why else do couples go into lounges..come on! They didn't say anything and it was way awkward. Needless to say we ran out of there as soon as our show ended.

Later on tonight me, Nicole, Cleo and Jennie went to Wal-Mart to go buy some treats.

We left the store without buying anything....happens.
I watched Tangled for the first time tonight. Didn't finish it but whatever.

Follow The Crowd

So.....
I decided to create a blog today. I am quite nervous to do so but I thought it may be fun. My friends Jennie, Nicole, and Cleo all have blogs and well they are awesome. I may not write in it a lot but oh well.


We'll see how this turns out.......
