Photoshoot

The ward Menu, Also known as the Ward list, this semester is filled with apartment pictures instead of individual pictures. For the pictures we decided to wear silly things and look ridiculous. We had more fun taking pictures then people should. The girls that I live with are fantastic. We have such unity and the atmosphere in our 'home' makes for a wonderful semester. Thank You Roommates!!!

Life is not a Fairytale

As we grow up we are exposed to stories of princess that after suffering for some period of time find the man of their dreams and live happily ever after. But real life is of course not like that. Within our pretty little head you build up a fantasy of what we want our lives to be like. We create the perfect prince charming that we search so desperately for to only come up with nothing. Then we have to tell ourselves that we are still happy and that we are better off not having to worry about someone other than ourselves. I mean are those people really happy. It seems that their suffering is so much more difficult then is should be. Truly your heart has to be ripped out of your chest then you can have happiness.

I'm not trying to sound ungrateful I okay not being married and 22 years old because I am not going to settle for a man that is not worth it.

NO INTERNET

Waking up at 8 in the morning is not a common thing for a Saturday but I did it anyway. I wanted to get an early start on homework, be the only one using the Internet. But the Internet didnt have the same idea. Stupid server can not find the page. WHATEVER!! So I can't use the Internet then Ill watch movies. I watched 16 Candles and Pretty in Pink. It was the first time I'd watch them all the way through. In the middle of Pretty in Pink most of my roommates had come out to join me in the crazy lives of the 1980's. So much better than doing homework.

Straw Maze

Fall brings on a lot of new and exciting things including all the holidays and the things that come with them. As the season changes and the harvest comes and goes the leftover crop is used for the entertainment of the public. Farmers offer hay rides and create mazes out of corn and straw bails. I had the opportunity to take part in one of the excitements of the season...A Straw MAZE. It was super fun!! Each corner and turn brought on a new paths and choices tunnels turned us around and lead us in circles. Any "guide" we saw lead us in the wrong direction. Turn Left was our motto, cuz turning right would lead toward the middle and we needed to find the edge. After 45 minutes in the maze of huge hay bails and lost couples we emerged from the maze into the dimly lit parking area. We succeeded!! We solved the Maze!! Triumph!! Up Next Corn MAZE.

The Library and The Internet

My printer is out of ink and more won't come until Monday so I went to the Library to print and submit work. It was about 2:00 and I did not plan on being there for more than an hour and a half. So I took a quiz filled out a worksheet and tried to print a case study. Oh but the computer that prints papers decided it didn't want to print. So I had to reprint and walk to the other side of the library to print out a 13 page case study and two page worksheet. What a pain. Not excited for all the case studies for my Business classes. After an hour I couldn't do anything more at the Library and walked home. For the rest of the evening we watched movies and friends came to visit. Oh But the Best part was when I typed up a 3 paragraph response paper, tried to submit it online and my computer had logged me out. All my work-GONE!! After freaking out for 5 mins and eating some chocolate I started typing again...then my internet geeked out and went back a page and my response was gone again. Finally I typed really fast and submitted it before anything could happen again. Oh the joys of technology.

Finally Friday

The week is finally over and I had no desire to do anything this evening. For me only having a swimming class at 10:15 I still am pooped. Here's how it went. After going to class for about 20 mins, because it was the first day and we just went over he syllabus, I had to tote my three large heavy totes back to the storage closet. Once I finally found a place for them I stacked them up and quickly came back to the apartment to go grocery shopping. Although I had a good handful of things on my list my number one goal was to get ink for my printer. So after trudging through the rain to the car I maneuvered my way to Walmart. As I moseyed through the aisles and gathered delicious things from lined shelves. This was so much better then the first weeks rush. As I made my way back to the ink section I felt confident. I was gonna return home with my lovely treasures and enjoy the weekend. But once I got back to the shelf it was not there. What!! All I want is some black ink for my lexmark printer. Nothing!!! SO I had to go all the way to an office supply store which I turned the wrong way and ended up in Sugar City... Then the store didn't have it and I had to order it. But of course I didn't know what model my printer was so I had to come all the way home and look then call them and place an order to have the ink shipped by Monday. And it was Raining. And I thought I'd be an relaxed day.

My Mother

Today in my Acting class we had to tell about our mothers or some sort of mother figure that inspired us. Most of us did talk about our mothers and the different lives they lived. I had written a whole story about my mom and her getting married and having been so for 30 years. I was gonna read it or summarize to the class but when my turn came around I said maybe two things I written down. Instead I mentioned who she was family oriented and wants her family close. I mentioned that she has always made me feel important and listens to me even when Im not really saying anything. And how her little acts of service say I Love You more than words ever did.
Mom You're The Best.

Water logged

We had our mandatory apartment complex meeting today just like we do every semester. We made suggestions about white clove cleaning and complained about the J-Walking signs and lack of good parking spots. However we are all still happy to be here and like it a lot; they even put up fire evacuation chart on our wall with arrows showing which way to go to get away from the fire . The only thing...Our apartment doesn't have an arrow over it. I'm guessing we jump...
Any way after our meeting I went to the gym. To get into the gym you have to know you ID number and for some reason I was getting mine wrong. I type it in everyday at work to punch in and I was certain that the number was a 4. But the girl working the desk let me in and told me to bring my ID next time. What a moron!!! Oh but this is the best,,,After doing the elliptical for 30 minutes I left. On the way out I got a drink from the fountain, then another. By the time I got outside and on the way home I could feel that I had too much water in me. I was aching and hurting and moaning and groaning. I took a good two hours before I could function again.
So friends when you feel full stop drinking!!

Day Two

You'd think the second day of school would be a bit easier...NOPE! My classes are a little easier but
I was still not ready for it and by the time I got to my acting class I was reaching my limit. Then this smart alec kid thought he needed to say things like he was the teacher. I was happy to get out of there and go to work.

Catchup

For those very few souls that read my blog you may have noticed that I lost my desire to update all summer long. Fortunately for one of my classes this semester we have to come up with a self-improvement goal and plan out all the details of how we are going to complete that goal. (Its all about organization. Although my goal may not really improve me as a whole it will improve my writing skills and require me to learn more about myself. What I want to do is blog about something new everyday. Sometimes I may have questions and other I might just tell a story of something that happened to me that day. The only rules are we have to do it at least 3 times a week and equal an hour and a half time. Wish me luck I hope I don't lose gumption.
