Wow. Just wow.

Alright, I'm in love.

I wish I could see this whole dress. From this picture it is amazingly gorgeous. And, as a bonus it has pockets. Seriously, I could stare at this forever. It's making me question the fact that I want a lace dress for my wedding. I know I have a couple years, but still...

Holy. Cow. Doesn't it take your breath away?! Simple, but elegant. 

Keep it Coming

I've had a great test streak this week.
I had 4 tests. 1) Jazz written 2) Jazz listening 3) Mission Prep 4) Chemistry (the dreaded).
And I passed all of them! Yes. Even Chemistry. Remember when I failed that last chemistry test (that darn, chemistry test)? I changed my study habits up a bit (meaning adding hours and hours of more study time) and got results.


One test even only took me 7 minutes. Let me tell you, best test of my life. Super short aaand a great score??? Who cares if all the questions where the exact same as the take home quizzes that had the answers posted on Learning Suite - not me! (okay...so it was a little easier than remembering my cats name).

A celebration was held yesterday after my chem test with my friend Reeses and I also invited lots and lots of chocolate covered cinnamon  bears. It was a pretty crazy party. 


I hope that this lovely streak will continue through out this semester.

Just FULL of excitement these days!

I feel like this blog has nothing fun or exciting any more....

I came up with a few reasons:
   1. Very few things happen to me these days. No adventures, no random and awkward occurrences. Well. There are plenty of awkward things. But nothing either worth writing about or nothing I want to write about on here. Some things you just don't want to put on a blog in fear of them randomly, by some magical chance, they find this blog. I know, very slim. But still... I'm a "better to be safe than sorry" kind of girl.
   2.  I have no boy. Even if I did...not sure I would even talk about him. Which leads to my third reason
   3. Like stated in both above, I just don't want to put certain things up here. There are plenty of stuff I would like to, but again, I like to be safe. Maybe that's why this blog is boring. I don't put my heart and soul out there.


I will keep a look out for good stories that are public enough to write to the world. For now, I've got a couple little stories to for you! (yaaaaaay.....)

Some friends and I went and got some free yogurt at Yogurt Land a couple weeks ago!  "Grab a cup and fill at as full as you can and it's all FREE!!!!!"

I think they should do this once a month...



As I was walking home one day I looked over and this kid had his face smashed up against the car window. I couldn't help it, I laughed out loud. Which made others look over and they got a smile themselves. Thank you, random kid.



Jack, the man that lives in my attic at home (I think I wrote about him once...) is up to trouble again. FIRST. He steals my point and shoot. I can not find that thing for the life of me. SECOND. He just stole my battery charger for my Canon and I'm a bit livid. I can't tak ANY pictures!!! My battery is completely and utterly dead.



And one more little story. You know how sometimes you can't help but look over the person's shoulder sitting in front of you in class? And it's always when they're texting someone? Well I did that a couple days again. I couldn't  tell what she was texting, but I could tell who she was texting! Take a guess. No, it wasn't some BYU athlete. Good guess though! It was Mindy Gledhill! What?! Yeah. Per-IT-TEE cool.

Oh, childhood.

I am having little laughing fits over here. The kind where you silently laugh, squint your eyes, have jumpy spasm attacks, and stomp your feet on the ground over and over again.

Why? I just looked up the childhood band I was in love with in 2nd grade.

The Jones Boyz

Oh. My. They came and preformed at my elementary school and my friends and I fell HEAD OVER HEALS for these boys. My friend Sydney had gotten their CD and I wanted one sooo bad. So I got it for Christmas! Boo ya!


Seriously out of the blue last night I thought of them. So, I just looked them up and listened to their songs again. Hilarious. I am just overcome with happiness right now.


I love things that take me back to when I was young.
Another example:

I was on pinterest and I saw a picture of this

It brought back loads of feelings - but I don't know where from! I can not remember for the life of me how old I was or where I first read this book. But I know that I loooved Strega Nona - I can feel it. It's actually kind of weird how I can feel it.


I wish I had a time machine....I miss being young and free to run in the sprinklers.




Well. I guess I can still run in the sprinklers.

I guess after a Jazz filled day, it's expected.

Last night I had my first dream in black and white. Everyone seems to talk about those dreams, but I didn't think they were actually possible. But, I am here to tell you, they are. We watched a bit of a black and white movie in Jazz, I'm sure that sparked it. 

After I woke up I had some Jazz music stuck in my head that I'm supposed to know for a test next week. Good sign? I think so. Maybe I'll do better on this one. Well... I will do better, because I have to. 

On Sunday my niece told me that in order to not fail another test (she knew about that last one...) I needed to always be studying and reading over and over and over again until I talk about it in my sleep! Well, I'm sure dreaming about it and waking up with it in my head is getting pretty close. Thanks for the advice, E. I hope it works. 

Maybe I will watch an old black and white movie for Valentines Day tomorrow...

My future husband is going to be like Moroni, from The Book of Mormon. In case you were wondering.

IT IS POSSIBLE!

   

Staple things for College (At least for me...)

1. Cream of Wheat
2. Cheese, tortillas, and salsa
3. Wheat Bread
4. Raspberry Jam

5. Sweats
6. Comfortable sweaters (I'm particularly thinking of my mom's sweater that I stole for a couple days and made everything seem better. I wish I hadn't taken it back. Thanks mom. )

7. A pair of flats that work with pretty much anything you wear
8. Socks. I just love socks.

9. Notebooks. Any, random, little, big, cute, plain notebooks

That's all I can think of for now. As I realize more staples for college I may stick in a "Part 2"

HOW do Elders have time for this?

They wrote entirely new words. They didn't just change some here and some there. Gotta love Elders!

Cupcakes

Alright, which should Kim and I make next?


If you can't read them (sorry) go here

I'm thinking the blueberry, banana, or lemon.

Fail.

ohhh heeeeyyyy. It's my face. 

I went down to the creamery and got some ice cream. I normally order a "child scoop"- that has enough ice cream for me (plus, it's healthier).

This time I ordered a "single scoop." I should have stuck with the child.


As I walked home it was just me, my ice cream, and my distraught face.
I might as well have had leprechauns jumping around me with signs that said "SHE JUST FAILED HER TEST."
I literally just failed my test. More than failed it.


So I got back to the apartment and I'm now listening to Skee-Lo's "I wish" and Coolio's "Gangsters Paradise." Those songs make me happy.

Well. Maybe not exactly happy. They make me smile.


I woke up this morning feeling crappy - I shouldn't have gotten the ice cream. But I decided to really get dressed and do my hair...so I guess that makes up for me feeling sick. So the ice cream was okay. (Yeah, there's some good logic for you.)


peace out. I'm going to study my behind off for my test tomorrow.


Hey. The sky is blue. Seriously, what a tender mercy.
