Girl Drama? What?

So. Yesterday was epic. I say that for many reasons. They are as follows in no particular order:
1) I ate lunch with my friend anna, which consisted of barbequed chicken, tomatoes, and summer squash with a balsamic vinaigrette, and koolaide served out of a bowl into sugar-crusted martini glasses. Tuesdays with Anna..... maybe I could write something epic about it and get loads of money.
2) There was massive girl drama in my apartment. So monday night I walked in, and there was a group of girls in my apartment. I wasn;t even paying attention until I noticed that one of them was crying - they were having like a meeting about how to resolve some drama, which is totally respectable, but I was STUCK!! If I left, it was awkward. If I stayed, it was awkward. So yesterday they had to catch me up on about 4 months of drama so that I could get why said conference took place in my house.
3) I finished all my assignments for my capstone course in like an hour. Pretty epic. It includes 2 presentations, a long paper, and an executive summary. BOO YAH!!
4) I got to bed before 10:30. Which means when my alarm went off at 5:42 this morning, I wasn't crusty and angry. And yoga this morning was just that much better.

In other news, my friend mandy asked on monday if I had lost weight. Less than a week and I'm already progressing. LOVE IT!! Friend Mandy also is setting me up with a brown boy. Oh how I love her for all of these things, and many more.

For now, that is all.

Back to school. You know what I'm realizing? This semester is SUPER easy. I'm only taking 12 credits! After this spring, when I was taking the equivalent of 12 credits and working full time, this feels like cake. As I was planning my week, I realized I could feasibly get about a week ahead by just using my time wisely this monday and tuesday. Why not? Then I can do things like take a zumba class, and have my butt kicked by it. Speaking of which, I got this wristband at BYU that allows me to take all these aerobics classes and stuff this semester. It's been awesome. I went to this class called power pump on saturday morning, and it's STILL kicking my trash.

So things are pretty much normal. My new plan of budgeting has been working like a charm; granted, it has only been 2 weeks, but a good 2 weeks if you ask me! I have stuck completely to my budget, and it has been glorious. I have also washed my car every saturday since I bought it (that's three saturdays, for the arithmetically challenged).

Yeah. So I guess my life is average for now. Which is great. I'm going to St. George in 2 weeks to visit my friend Stooph, who I love.

That's her. Isn't she great?
After that I'm heading up to Rexburg with my friend Cami, who I also love.

That's Cami. When we went back to Chicago together. I heart her.

Cool, well, party people, it's time for me to chat with some folks. have a nice one!

Oh star wars

So. This weekend.
'Twas great.

i went latin dancing on friday night. It was SO MUCH FUN. It was randomly at Pirate Island, and I think I was one of 3 white girls there. There was salsa dancing, and bachata, and merengue (spelling?). My favorite is bachata. I was going to post a video of it so you can see, but most of the videos make it look uber sexual. And it's not. I danced with like 5 latinos, and they were really fun and taught me how to do all the dances. One of my favorite moments? When one guy started to approach me, and he was probably 5'2", and so I hid behind my friend Becca:

What a good sport she is.

Yesterday I did all the things adults should do on saturdays. I washed my car, i cleaned my bathroom, and I made a shopping list. I guess I'm pretty boring eh?

Recently I've been having a craving to watch Jurrasic Park. I think I should do it. And make a party of it. Remember that guy who dies respecting the raptors? pretty awesome.

In other news, I'm probably going to armenia in the spring. And by probably I mean DEFINETLY. I'm done waiting around to go. if I can even get one other person to go with me, I'm going. We found tickets for $717 dollars. Who knew? For that much I'd go tomorrow! Except that armenia gets cold FAST. brrrr

Favorite thing of the week? This:

Have a nice one, world?

date of the up variety

So. Let me just tell you about my ridiculous life.

Did I tell you I almost got run over by a deer? Yeah. Almost impaled by a buck. It came galloping towards me as I nonchalantly strolled out of my apartment, and was going SO FAST that it tripped, fell, SKIDDED, and then got up and kept running. awesome. After the deer almost killed me, 2 guys from my ward came running by and it turns out they had terrified it into running. Awesome.

Scampering deer not do it for you? How about a capstone course SO INTENSE it makes me people cry? Yup. that's my major. The professor looks for your weaknesses, your buttons if you will, and he presses them repeatedly until you can't take it. And yet you're supposed to. Awesome. Every thursday for the rest of the academic year, people.

Or how about the fact that my job is to represent mormons as a whole? When you click on "chat with us" on mormon.org, you get me. At least on the shifts that I work. So when people decide they want to ask any question to a mormon, they ask me. Which is excellent.

And try this on for size: 4 of my best friends got married. Which means that consistent nighttime hangouts are pretty much gone. Who's a loser from 7-whenever I go to sleep? Oh that's me. Yup. The redhead in the corner.

Basically, here's the deal: all the chance happenings, that are supposed to be rare and unplanned, happen to me. It's fine.

In other news, life is pretty good. Provo is prematurely turning cold, which is fine, except that I HATE the winter. And I haven't yet budgeted for boots. FOr the coldness. I have budgeted for a blender though, which means it's smoothie for breakfast time everyone!. Yeeee haw!

Yeah. Don't know what that was about. It's fine.

Autmnal woes.

So. I have started a new semester. And I'm taking biogeography, middle east geography, aerospace 410, economic geography, and the capstone for my major. I think I want to shoot myself.

In other news. I have started working in the RC at the MTC, which means I help missionaries answer phones, chat with people who are curious about the church, and basically be a computer fiend. It's awesome. Unfortunately, it makes time go by kinda slow. But all is well, i guess that's just the way things go.

The weddings went well, I will post pictures that I think describe them at a later date. There was hardly any drama, just lots of wearing dresses adn having my picture taken and being a bridal wench in general.

Man. A lot has happened. But whatever. It's fine. I have one more year until I graduate, and I'm excited! I finally get to enter the real world. Oh, glorious world, and all the things you offer to me outside of schoolage.

Autumn is coming. Which means winter is coming. i spend most of my year either celebrating the end of winter or lamenting its inevitable return. What does that say about me?

Que Trasero!

I got extensions. Like, really long ones. 22 inch ones to be exact and precise about the whole business. It took about 2 1/2 hours and they attach bits of dyed indian woman hair to the roots using beads. The process wen t a little like this; grab tiny section of my hair. Slide bead onto it. Put little section of hair into bead. collapse bead. It actually looks surprisingly natural, but I've suddenly realized why women with long hair wear it in a long braid down their back; because sometimes it's obnoxious that when you lean back in a chair it pulls on your head. :)

In other news, I have successfully purchased all the bridesmaid dresses I need to. Rejoice right? Don't mind if I do! I have yet to figure out how I'm going to get to Brittney's wedding, but I'll figure it out.

Additionally, I got a spider bite last week that has ended up being SAVAGE. I thought I just had an enormous zit on my buttcheek, and I was like "fine so my personal hygiene sucks". But then it got HUGE. I'm talking 4 inches across huge. Sitting on a golfball huge. So I went to the doctor, who put me on these SAVAGE antibiotics. When I got them from the pharmacy, the pharmacist came out, alarmed, asking "why do you have both of these at once?!" And I was like "um.....because I got eaten by a spider and its infected and I'm allergic to amoxycillin". And the lady was like "good luck not throwing up." Thanks.

So aparently on monday, when I went back to the doctor, it was bigger and worse off. So I got a shot in my flank. It didn't even hurt. so make that 3 doses of powerful antibiotics. And tuesday, I had to get ANOTHER shot. But this time, the nurse hit a nerve or something because my vision went black and I felt like I was going to puke for like an hour and a half after. Awesome. Don't nurses go to school for that kind of crap? So you DON'T injure your patients with large needles?!

It's finally shrinking and getting better. My favorite moment of the whole incident? Having the doctor draw a circle around my bite in permanent marker. who knew buttcheeks were so ticklish?

Anyway, that is my life. Today. who knows what ridiculousness will happen next week. Stay tuned!

I have returned from the dead.

So life is finally calming down enough to write another post. SOOO much has happened. But just know that spring semester 2010 just about killed me. I think I've lost 10 years off my life. Blah.

So my sister is in Germany. Jealous? Totally. But she deserves it. I lived in armenia for a bit. So it's her turn. She is enjoying German cheeses and fruits and smells. And I'm in PROVO. Sweet.

So I've discovered that Provo is, to me, a blood poison. It makes me rebellious and angry in a way that no other location does. And you say maybe its me. Maybe it is. But I've got to get out of here. Less than a year and I will turn my back on this place and never look back. I think I'll move to florida. And never come back.

In other news, 4 of my best friends are getting married in August. Because it is easier to remember in a list, congratulations to:

1) Jenny Patten, who is getting hitched August 10 somewhere in Utah
2) Brittney Griffin, who is tying the knot August 13 in Idaho Falls, Idaho
3) Anna Pew, who is kicking the bucket on August 21, 2010 in Boise, Idaho, and
4) Kelia Hyer, who is taking the plunge on August 27, 2010 in Oqqirh mountain (spelling?) Utah

So basically, my august is going to consist of weddings. From start to finish. I'm trying to figure out if I actually have to come back between some of the weddings, considering 2 are in Idaho.... thats a lot of driving.

Finals this thursday, and then DONE with spring. Next semester is infinitely more managable, time wise. This semsester, I had at least 9 straight hours of work and school daily. It was intense. But its over, I did it, and I never have to do it again.

So next year, my sister Debby and I are planning on taking a trip somewhere. Maybe to Istanbul. Maybe Thailand. Who knows. But we're going. And it will be great.

That is all.
