and all i want to do is look at you and know that i'm okay

it's kind of interesting to watch how much can change in just a matter of weeks. i don't know, it's been kind of crazy. maybe it was the Presidents' day vacation thing that threw me off. not sure. school's still going all right. staying ahead for the most part, and it's starting to pick up. it's hard to believe that it's already midterms. it really does not seem like it's been that long. weird.

a couple of my roommates have been sick lately. i really hope i don't catch anything. the last thing i want to be is sick. i hate it. friday night katy and i went to mr. heritage pageant. 4 guys from my ward were in the running and my roommate, megan, was the mc for it. it was really good. a tad long but it was totally entertaining so worth the wait. the guy who ended up winning (get this mark!!!) was taylor williams, the guy mark was trying to get me to find out here. his talent was doing the napoleon dynamite dance. and he looked exactly like napoleon dynamite. he was hilarious. it was pretty fun to go to. and i guess this counts as finding that dude too.

so the picture, i guess i should explain. after mr. heritage my friends, ben and jon, decided that they wanted to make something in the snow. and that something happened to be a chinese dragon in celebration of chinese new year. they nominated me to help them, along with a roommate and a couple other people ended up joining in. i didn't do too much, but i did help. i went to bed at 2 before they even finished. they ended up staying up until 3-3:30ish to finish it. then the next morning jon came and got me to help color the dragon (food coloring and water). everyone loves it, as they should. these random people were driving by and pulled into the parking lot and asked if they could get a picture with it. it's pretty amazing. so yeah, i thought i would share.

have a grandiose day!!!!

for a second i wish the tide would swallow every inch of this city...

well it's always a fun week when you get to be me. um, well not really. i think the highlight of my week was my valentine's day date. i got to baby-sit for aleisha (tanner's sister). her boys are adorable and way fun. i even got a kiss from dewey, her 1-year-old. it was way better than anything else i might have been doing. i miss not having little kids around so this was a good idea. i also found out that the kid i like may like me back. so that made me happy. but we're not going into details...

work's going all right. i have to work tonight, because they switched schedules. but i still get to go to fhe because that's post poned until tomorrow. so no worries!! i really like work, or at least some of the people i work with. it's way more fun when you have the right people to work with. a lot of people have been gone this weekend due to the day off. my fhe brother went home on friday to open his mission call. it was really exciting, he called us at midnight to let us know. it's so weird to be the same age as the missionaries now. i'm still not used to it. and speaking of missionaries, mom, since when did you have them over for dinner? go figure the scottish one's there when i'm not. how depressing....

anyways, doing laundry and i have to write a paper for my living prophets class. due wednesday. but since i don't have anything to do until 4:30 i might as well do it today.

...standing on the rooftops, everybody scream your heart out...

so this weekend was tons of fun. we left later than expected but still got to nicole's at a decent time. i just want to point out that i woke up early on friday to get some extra homework done before the weekend. kids are hilarious and tons of fun. i got in trouble with kenzie for sticking my tongut out at her so i had to got stand in the corner until she said i could get out. it was kind of funny, but hey, i did the crime, i'll do the time.

so this is a picture from when i went to the hot springs with a couple roommates and my fhe brother. the 3 in the middle are my roommates, the other girl on the end is his sister. just thought i'd share. working on the school things. hopefully i'll get ahead. we'll see though...

this is that.

so i found out how to upload pictures (thanks brian!!!) and figured i'd post one for ya. life's going all right. i had really hard time sleeping last night. i have no idea why, but i just could not sleep. i would keep waking up. it was bad. but i'm doing all right. studying for a test for tomorrow, so i can take it before i leave for nikki's tomorrow. i need to get away from campus for a little bit so this will be good.

hope all is well!! i'm off to pretend to get something done....

blah and such

so life's going. went to the gymnastics meet today, 4 of the girls on the team are in my ward. i really like watching that. reminds me how much i can't do. it was good though. we won. i actually ended up waking up because someone was banging on my door screaming ward party. but afterwards went to work, which was really slow. or at least it seemed that way because i was really tired. i should work on that. not much has really been going on. i went on the second date last night with that kid. we went to divine comedy. i really liked it. a whole lot funnier than i thought it was going to be. but i made a realization. one of the girls that is part of divine comedy is the girl in the kurt metzger movie "footsteps of faith". she was the really annoying girl, maggie, that got the hott kid, nephi. i guess only mom or betsy or laree would understand who i'm talking about. but yeah, it was definitely her.

life's going good. can't wait to go visit nicole next weekend. should be lots of fun. have a nice day.
