Easy A.

Well. Obviously, since you're seeing this picture it means I probably just saw the movie. Well. That is true. I saw it last night annnnd it was SOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD! Ohmygoodness I absolutely loved it! It was definitely not what I expected at all, and everyone in it did fantastic. I really would see it again. and maybe even again after that. This movie was really the highlight of my weekend. Butttttt lucky for you guys, my life isn't all that boring and I do have other stories for you...

I'm gonna tell you about the boring stuff first though because I know some of you are wondering about my schooling and everything. WELL. It's realllly hard. But I'm surviving! Which is always comforting. And my current definition of surviving is that I am completing all my assignments, doing as much of the reading I can handle, and I'm NOT texting in class! (I know... seriously a miracle.) Oh and in my Recreation Leadership class on friday, this REAL LIFE mountain came into my class! He really is a mountain man. I feel bad, cuz he gave a really great speech, but I don't remember his name. But he had a really crazy beard, a hat, a bandana, all these crazy tools, a vest, I mean.... he was legit. It was rad. Okay so now that the school part is over....

Some of you know (but others don't, mostly because they would fear for my safety), I just bought a longboard. I know. Crazy. Sorta. I've never actually "skated" a day in my life, until maybe march? A friend of mine taught me to longboard. I've always wanted to learn how, and I finally did! And then a couple weeks ago, I had a short-lived addiction to ebay, and I decided I would buy a longboard. Because, let's be honest, I wouldn't get better any other way! It's sat against my wall for a little over a week now, and I kept looking at it thinking "hey i should prolly take her out and try riding..." but then I wouldn't. Well. I finally did. And those of you who know me well, know that I don't always have the greatest coordination and balance. Haha. Yesterday (saturday), I rode my longboard to the gas station to get one of those cheap 44 oz drinks (Horkleys!). I don't even think I thought about how I would get back with it...But, I'm sitting here now, and I can honestly tell you, I am uninjured. Aside from a couple of scrapes on my ankles where in between riding and walking, the board hit them and stuff. Ohhh... and. This is really sad guys. On a portion of my journey back (I made it to the gas station with no problem at all!), I sorta slipped at little tiny bit and I dropped my coke. Ughhhh!! It was so awful. Coke was alllll over the sidewalk. And people were up ahead and saw it, so when I rode up their direction they all said stuff like "hey sorry about your coke" and "smooth move" and stuff. Ha. So embarrassing. Whatever. I'm getting better.

What else. OH! So guessss what. Our school brought this pseudo-ABBA band here to put on a concert! And me and Melanie went! AHHH! It was sooooooooooooo MUCH FUN! I loveloveloved it! We danced in the aisles and danced in our seats and sang all the songs! It was so great! I lost my voice actually. Haha. 

Welll... that was pretty much my weekend. Except for the part where I watched the Broncos KILL the Seahawks today. AMAZING. Hopefully my fantasy team did well. Haha. 

TGIF.

It's finally friday! And what a lonnnng and borrrring day it was! I had class at 745 and then again at 9. And then I didn't have another class till 430. What did I do in between? I took a nap! Especially because I went to bed at 1 am and then had to be up by like 645 at least, so I could make it to class on time. What a joke.

Anyway, my 745 class was recreation leadership. It was okay. There were a lot of people talking loudly, which really bothers me when the teacher is trying to do his thing. And there were these girls next to me who were not only contributing to this talking nonsense, but one of them smashed my toe (which I had already busted up about a week ago) with her chair. It was an accident, and she didn't even know she did it, but I was already really annoyed with her and her friend, so it was just not a happy moment. Definitely won't be sitting next to her any time soon. Ha.

Chemistry went all right today. I made a new friend. She has really cool hair. And then my 430 class is huge. There's like 90 people in there. Which is nothing to some universities, but here it's probably the largest some classes get. Crazy. But my teacher is pretty interesting--he's older. and super tall and lanky. So it's kind of entertaining. And he is suuuuper random! Ah! He'll make all these jokes, or spit out these weird interjections, and noooobody knows what he's talking about. Haha. But at least he teaches well. I guess.

This cool new place just opened up here in our little town of Rexburg. Sammys. There's one in Provo I guess, and it's pretty hip there, so of course there were tons of people there tonight. Anyway, some friends of mine were playing there tonight. Truman. If you haven't heard of them, look em up. They're amazing! I'd never heard them play before, so it was fun. And I even got to be a merch girl and sell their cds. I love those boys.

Welllll...until next time. Who knows when that'll be. Ha. Peace out homeboys.

First Day

Well. The first day of my senior year at school went through without a hitch. I wasn't even late to class! AND I only had one class! YES. Well, technically I have 3. But one is online (and we didn't even really have it), and the other one I just added today.

So today, my only class was chemistry. And before I walked in, I said a little prayer and asked for cute single boys in my class. So I sit down, and I watch everyone file in. And lo and behold, all these cute boys are walking in! Better yet, they're single! Well. Most of them. Ha. So I can stare at them all day long and not even feel bad! YES. Chemistry is GOOOOOOD. For now.

Also, I saw my lovely friend Jeanette today. She's an angel. I'm so happy she came over! I haven't seen her in so so long! It was really nice to catch up with her.

I watched HOUSE today. Suchhh a good show. I've missed it. I spend my whole summer watching BONES because I'd always miss HOUSE. So now I think it might be the opposite. We'll see. Anyway, there really wasn't much else to do today because it was POURING rain outside (hail and all!) and I don't have any homework yet. So I just sat and watched tv. And cleaned my room.

Today was the first real game of football season. YES! I'm so stoked. I have my fantasy team alllll ready. I rooted for the Saints tonight. Felt good. Especially since they won! (in your face you Vikings fans!) I wanted to throw a mini party, but I felt like no one knew/cared about it. So it didn't happen. But Melanie had some friends come over and watch it with us. Which is cool, since they are cool.

So yeah. I think this semester will go over well. I've decided to be optimistic. I think it'll guarantee more success than what my previous attitude was... Anyway, I'm off to bed. I have 745 class. Yessssss....

School Starts TOMORROW!

Back to the grind again. I really don't want tomorrow to come honestly, because that means summer is really over. I'm sort of excited, but sort of not. Mostly not because I'm already stressed, and I am retaking chemistry. My ultimate nemesis. I'm determined to beat it this time though. I don't really have a choice, but I am sure I can do it (cross your fingers for me though in the mean time! haha).

Also, I changed my cluster (for those of you that don't know, it's half a minor) to recreation management. The only classes I have left are super tough, so I MUST have play time. Which will include, over the course of three semesters, fly fishing or rafting or survival skills or something else along those lines. My other cluster is psychology. Which will also be fun, but also hard so it obviously won't be very recreational. Ha.

I think the best part about school starting again is the fact that I only have 3 semesters left before I graduate! Which is AWESOME. (Again, cross your fingers!) My plans after? Who knows. I want to travel reallllly bad. But you need money for that. And I really wanna move to Colorado because I love it so much there, so that's probably what will happen. I'll make some money, travel and spend it all, then jump into grad school. THEN I'll be an amazing physical therapist and all my schooling will have paid off! YES!

Until then, I'll take this semester day by day, and hopefully update you sometimes along the way. (that sentence totally rhymes! Ha!)
