Big Sky

So there is a chance that I will be going to Montana this weekend. One of my roommates is from there and we decided that it might be nice to get out of Rexburg for awhile. On a different note, my English teacher extended the date that our research paper is due until Tuesday. We can still turn it in on this Thursday, if we so choose, but it is nice to know that if I get crunched for time I have a few more days to finish it.

It is almost the end of the semester and I can feel the pressure to get everything done for all my classes. I also just found out that my voice class will be opening for a concert. We have to sing and DANCE! I really hate my life right now! Plus this nice little humiliating event is right during finals week. I was taking to Aaron, my FHE bro, about it and he said he wanted to go. I told him that there was no one way I was letting anyone that I know come and watch me make a fool of myself while dancing on stage...No thank you!

So that is what's going on now. I have papers to write, finals to take, and a performance during finals. Plus my internet is still down so I have to go to the lounge to do all my homework...And the lounge closes at 11pm...I need more time!!!

Here we go again...

Sorry everyone, this post will be short. My internet is down again and I have a ton and a half of homework to do. Plus my first draft of my fifteen page research paper is due this thursday. On a side note...I bought a new book around one today...yeah, I finished it already...well, that's all for now. I promise to write more later!

Washington

So this last weekend I went to Washington. I went with my roommate, Audra, three of our FHE brothers(Aaron, Dustin, and KC), Dusti's friend Keri, Aaron's sister Lindsey, and two of Lindsey's friends. So there were nine of us all together. We took two cars and drove for ten hours. We went to a little town called Manson that is just outside of Wenatchee. We went to Aaron's house because his brother is going on a mission and Aaron wanted to say goodbye. So we all went. I was a lot of fun, I don't I have ever laughed so much in my life! And that was just on the car ride.

We left Friday, from Rexburg, at nine in the morning. We got to Manson around seven or eight at night. We had dinner at their friend's house, she made us really good Mexican food. Then we went to Aaron's house and watched "Pirates of the Caribbean." Then we stayed up talking until two, then the guys went to bed. Around three Audra, Keri,a nd I decided it would be funny to pull a prank on the guys. So Keri painted one of Aaron's thumbnails red, and one of Dustin's thumbnails blue. We would have done more but we were laughing too hard. They had that nail polish on all weekend.

They were going to get revenge by handcuffing me and Audra together, we were sharing a bed so it would have been fairly easy to do. They had the cuffs and everything, but they fell asleep. Anyways... On Saturday we woke up and Aaron's mom made us biscuits and gravy, it was very good. Then we went out on Aaron's uncle's boat for awhile, the lake was beautiful. Then we took a group nap. Then we went to Aaron'd grandparent's house for homemade chicken soup. Then we went into town for groceries. Then we watched several episodes of "Friends," we basically just hung out. Then we all fell asleep while watching "Finding Nemo."

On Sunday we went to church to listen Aaron's brother talk. Then we went to Aaron's grandparents house for dinner. They made us lasagna. It was delicious! We had roll and this really good juice, and salad. They fed us well. Plus there was three kinds of dessert. After eating we said our goodbyes and hit the road. The trip felt a lot longer on the way back. We didn't get home till around one in the morning. It was a fun trip, and after we got back we were all ready to go on another one. All in all it was a great weekend. Now it's back to stupid school and the real world.

A burden lifted...

It's amazing how talking to my mom can sometimes relieve so much stress. I decided to drop my math class because I was not doing well and it was causing me a huge amount of stress. I wanted to ask my parent's opinion first, however, because they are paying for my schooling. My mom let me know it was okay to drop and so I did. I cannot even describe the feeling I had when that weight was lifted from me. This whole sememster I have been tired, stressed, and moody. I feel better now than I have in a long time. So thank you mom for making my week!

Oh and just so my parents, who I know read this, know there was no fee I had to pay. The fee only applied if I withdrew from school after the sememster started. I still don't get my tuition for that class back though...that kind of sucks :( But I think that everything will go a lot smoother from now on...here's hoping. So here ends my big crisis of the semester.

Another day goes by...

So here it is...March. This will be the longest stretch of my school semester. Thirty-one days...no breaks. My fiction teacher is having us read "The Brother Karamazov" right now. It's an okay book...but I don't think that I have a very strong passion for Russian Literature. My English teacher is preparing us for our fifteen page paper that is due this month...needless to say we are all freaked out. My class could be going better, but I won't depress anyone with that. My voice class is going well...but my teacher keeps saying that I am holding back. Duh! If I don't hold back I would be putting my self out there...and I never do that!!

My other classes are pretty good...not much to report. I can't wait for this semester to end. It's not bad or anything, I love my roommies and everything...it's just time for a break. I also need a chance to get rid of these stupid pop-ups! They are driving me nuts!! Well, I got a paper to write so that's it for now...stay safe everyone! And don't eat the yellow snow!!!
