quote of however-long-I-feel-like:

Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things - trees and grass and sun and moon and stars.

Suppose we have.

Then all I can say is that, in any case, the made - up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones.

-Puddleglum, The Silver Chair

This one's for you HotMama.


Pics? Well... I'm kinda disgusted by my double chin in them... but hey... by Christmas time, you can all be impressed by my single chin. So I guess I'll suck it up and post the dang pics.

So, this was our group: Me, Nick, Steel (what a cool name!), Stefani, Eric (what a dork :P), and Kelly (Amazing girl here!)


We got ahold of Kelly's camera... but this was the only pic she posted... so, none of the silly faced ones made it... :(


I'm a beast. 


What a retard... This was my attempt at dancing, but I really liked Kelly's pose, so, we're keeping it.



"Foo, back up off it!"


That's Nick's elbow. fyi.

Anyway, it was a blast.

I made it!.

Okay, so, I'm not judging here.... I'm just acknowledging the first freshman girl on my floor to get engaged. Two and a half weeks. Best of luck to the couple. 


I got a 95.5 on my calc exam!!! Woo Hoo!!! That really made my day. 

I'm still sick. 

Preference is in a little over 2 weeks. Any (creative (it is BYU after all)) ideas on how to ask someone to go with me? 

I had my first experience with accidentally sticking a 100% cotton sweater into a dryer.... It was amazing how much it shrunk! Luckily it was way too big to begin with. 

Halloween is on Friday!!! Woo Hoo!!!

Yeah, I can't really think of anything else to say. I just wanted to get to the bottom of the picture so it would be even. I'm listening to the soundtrack to Anastasia right now. I found an egg on my bike 2 days ago. Odd. The Cannon Center (where I work) has been egged twice. 

This is really hard!!! Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....................

The Requested Update.

So school's started. I love all my classes. Well... Maybe not calculus, I don't think I could ever love that course from the fiery depths of Hades. I think Golf would have to be the most entertaining class. :) Especially if you're watching me attempt it. I love the library. Especially the Religion and Genealogy section. A bunch of old, quiet people... They're awesome. I've got the routes planned out pretty well from one class to the next now, and I'm only late to Golf because it's so far away from everything else. This Saturday is the game against UCLA, and a freshmen dance. My room's a little messy... reminds me of back home. :) 


I've been meeting a TON of people. I feel so bad though, because as I learn 1 new name, my brain forgets 2.  Uchdorf and Packer came to the Marriott Center on Saturday for the Regional Conference. My burn is now scabbed over. (and nasty looking) I went for a walk the other night, thinking I would run into the Creamery, instead I found the MTC and the temple. And right now I'm tired, so goodnight all!

First Day! :)



These are pics from the convocation. 



This is for you Mom. 


And this is the path I thought led to my first class...



Instead, I found ducks. 


After about 35 minutes of wandering, yes, I did find my way to class. 




This is my Door. 


So, I loved all of my professors so far. I accidentally skipped a class today without realizing it, but it worked out, he's a really nice guy and wasn't upset. I am so excited!!!

(Don't worry Mom and Dad, I already finished my homework)

Day... w/e.

Summary of last couple of days: 
  1. We bought my books, clothes, and everything else I needed. 
  2. I went to the convocation given by President Samuelson. 
  3. I explored the library.
  4. I GOT MY SPERRYs!!! :D
  5. I went to the football game against UNI (University of Northern Iowa). We won of course. 
  6. I've met a bunch of random girls from my building. 
  7. I got a sweet bike.
  8. I got to hang out with the coolest dad ever! ;)
(In advance, these pics  were taken by Jenna Baker)

This is where I sit. 1st row. Dead center. 
This is my friend Jenna, she found me online before we went to BYU, and that is how we got these amazing seats. She's basically really cool. (Like my shirt? I "tailored" my size L to a size S-ish)
Dang cheerleaders. I mean, uh...I'm sure we could all be bosom buddies.... right... ;)
Yeah Buddy!

Peace out!

Day 1..ish.

So, my Mom actually helped me pack and clean out my room like crazy on Monday night. 


Looks like fun, huh? 

I ended up not waiting until the last 5 minutes to finish. Quite proud of myself. :) 


This is my whole life right there in that trunk. That's right, everything. 

Yeah, just ask my Dad about his skillz and how he hooked us up with a decent car. He'd love to tell you. 

So, this is just the first of 3 trips we would make to Target today. 


This is my room before I messed with it. 


My bathroom and sink. 
(Small, yes, but I don't have to share with a whole floor of girls)



And these are my sheets that don't match anything. :)


This is my own little convenient store. 

This is somewhat after... (if only you could see what it looks like now).



Seriously... if only... I've got 250 glow-in-the-dark stars ALL over my room... unfortunately, my camera just couldn't handle this level of AWESOME-ness... so this is what I got... :(


Neither of them really turned out... so the only thing I can do, is have you take my word for it... It's amazing.

Okay, I'm going to bed now... 'Night!

The What's What.






So, I leave in exactly 1 week to begin my life as a freshman at BYU. I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty dang excited. It almost deserves a 'w00t'. Merbow left last week for SVU, and I wish her all the luck in the world. However I am missing her like crazy. Maybe I'm just jealous. Who knows. Speaking of jealous, anyone notice our matching dresses? Cute, huh? By the way, I'm the pale one. :)

My last week at Target too. Work was getting really boring. So I'm totally okay with that. I've got to pack, but I'm better at procrastinating than at being proactive. So I'm guessing I won't finish until 5 minutes before we have to leave for the plane. But, hey, that's me. 

Summary of my Summer:
-I graduated!!!       
-I went to China!!!

-I worked... :/

-I had so much fun with friends!!! 
          

-I went to EFY in New York!!! It was amazing. No joke. 

I can't think of anything else monumental... so yea. 1 WEEK!!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
