While You Were Out

The past couple weeks have been busy ones for me for some reason, so I apologize in advance to those who are at my door with torches and pitch forks. BUT on the plus side, I now only have one test left to go, it's almost spring break, and the sun is out. yes dear ones, the sun. After a huge blizzard snow storm our little friend decided to play peek-a-boo and I for one, am not complaining. A little update from the weekend: We went night tubing with a random ward in our church, stayed at their new cabins, trekked through a blizzard, and ate my weight in food. Also, we had dinner dates, bowling high scores, and a new fear of germs. Happy pre-spring break week!

The Dead Sledder.

 This is what preparing for death looks like; in fashionable third grade long johns. (or should I say short johns?)

With the recently fallen snow laying its cold winter blanket over the town, this provided prime opportunity to display our sledding magic, or lack there of. What's great about having a campus uphill is not the fact that you get to kill yourself walking up it, but that there is much recreation to partake of. So we loaded up our gear and headed toward Old Main and climbed the trek to the the top, only to find that I forgot how much of an AWFUL sledder (sleddee?) I am. But seriously. I would put my feet down to break because I hate going fast and would have all the snow just come up and spray my face so I couldn't see and thereby making me break more which lead to more face spraying...and well, you get the point. It was still fun, but I think my favorite part was coming home and eating homemade ice cream sandwiches and hot chocolate. And for that, we thank you.

Mission For Missionaries.

On Saturday I got the opportunity to go do some service with the relief society of my church. We woke up early in the morning and ate a very filling breakfast, which I wish I would have ate more, had some speakers talk to us about service and then went at it! We ended up making cards for the missionaries around the world to help them provide special thanks to people. We had a goal of 1000 and ended up making 820, which isn't bad! It was so easy and surprisingly fun! It always feels so good serving others, especially when it is something so simple, yet so meaningful.

I Was Practicing the Art of Karee-Okay.

So last night in honor of my buddy Andrew's birthday, our entire building went to the local Pizza Pie Cafe for some good ole fashioned fun. We got in for unlimited pizza and their famous rounds of karaoke (yes I just had to google that.) It was KILLER fun. Everyone went up and made complete fools of themselves, but it was so entertaining. Let me tell you, this thing gets CRAZY. If you want sing you have to show up at least a half hour early. I of course picked Bennie and the Jets and of course they close right when it is our turn! Disappointment. But we will probably be going again, so I'll let you know how the crowd surfing goes... and a happy birthday Andrew!

Awkward And Awesome Thursday!

AWKWARD:
1. When you run into someone at the grocery store and they look at your cart and say, "wow, that's a ton of food." Um thank you rude girl for calling me fat? And then not two seconds later the guy at the register says, "wow, so how long does it take you to eat all of this food?" I AM NOT FAT.
2. That guy at the gym who deems it necessary to an ab workout in front of your face with his tight pants on. His man junk was all over the place, and I didn't want to see it.
3. When you accidentally fall asleep on the couch and you wake up to strangers that don't live in your building just staring at you. Erm good morning? Who are you?
4. Going to scrape off your car before church because a huge snow storm came, and you are almost done, it is cold, and then you just slip right to your death on the concrete. And no one sees. And if they did, they sure acted like they didn't, but I saw their laughs.
5. Walking up the stairs to a class on the most busy stairwell between one lecture class that just got out, and another going into the same room, and you fall. Not only did I trip up the stairs in front of 30+ people, but I didn't recover and ended up crawling up them the rest of the way. Yes, I said crawl.

AWESOME:
1. Being at a huge dance party and dancing your pants off when you come to find that you lost your ID. In the thousands of people that were there one comes up after the dance and says, "hey is this yours, I found it." Oh thank the heavens because there was NO CHANCE that that sucker was ever to be claimed again.
2. Those two men on the bus that dress up in black unitard suits so not a pinch of their skin is being shown, and just when you think they are going to rob you, they come up and give you candy and say that they hope you have a happy valentine's day. Even though I don't eat candy from strangers, it was still thoughtful.
3. When all of your other roommates are either sick or dying you are the only one that doesn't have an illness. Go vitamin C!
4. Getting letters in the mail, simply the best, yet so surprising.
5. My new poncho. It was a guilt trip into buying, but it was fifteen dollars. Say Whaaa? Yes, you heard me, and how could I pass that up?

Black&White&Red All Over.

Lately I find myself catching up with an old friend who goes by the name of senioritis. He isn't a dear friend, and he convinces me to stay out later, wake up later, and not do anything that I should be i.e. homework, cleaning, etc. Isn't he just the best? So with that enchantment I now don't get dressed anymore, and I never do anything fun and exciting to post about. But you are in luck, because I just-so-happened to take pictures of the day I actually got ready. I just hope I don't get your hopes up that this will keep occurring because it is dead winter and I just want to be a hibernating bear.

Whatever the Prez Says...

And if he says that he doesn't want the world to work or go to school in celebration of him being in charge, then I guess we MUST comply. I mean, I'm not complaining or anything, I just think it is interesting that the world shuts down to celebrate dead guys. But thanks for the leadership. Go freedom.
