Why I Hate the Gym

No, i do not hate the gym for the normal reason people do. I actually enjoy going to the gym, shocker i know. I just hate going by myself....but the real reason i hate the gym....is because they don't adjust low enough so my legs reach anything. Ha ha ha i know, it's really funny. not. But i ran on the tredmill for like twenty minutes, which was great because there is no adjusting on the tredmill. Then i decided to migrate to the bike. Now try to imagine this if you can: me, trying to do the bike with the seat to high. Now don't get me wrong, i did try to adjust the seat lower. Nope, it didn't go any lower, thanks for asking. So here i am riding the bike and my knees keep popping all crazy like i have a twitch because my feet fall off the pedals when they reach the very bottom. I don't know what was worse, the fact that i looked like an idiot, or the fact that i just kept trying for ten minutes. I am just eternally grateful that i had my earphones in and Skillet blasting or else i'm sure i would die of shame from hearing everyone else scoff. Ug. the life of the almost legal midget.

I'm now officially addicted to pandora.com. I've tried it before, but never really got into the groove, but lately, i definately love it. In fact hold on one second while i call my dad to see if he's heard of it....nevermind he's not home. But there are a couple artists that i found on there that i L-O-V-E, namely:

-Missy Higgins: Where I Stood
-Courtney Jaye: Somersault
-Brooke Fraser: Arithmitic
-Holly Brook: Heavy
-Marie Digby: Miss Invisible
-Brie Larsen: Hope Has Wings
-Julie Moffitt: Try

CHECK THEM OUT!! Seriously lyns...cause i know your probably the only one that will...they are seriously awesome. But pandora, seriously great place. It's like you type in an artist or song and they will play all these songs that are the same genre and style and vocal style as that artist. So So good.

So here's another thing i hate. Blow Drying you hair when you don't have to. Doesn't it seem like it takes SOOOOO much longer when you don't have to be somewhere. I just got in the shower because i just got out of the gym, but now i don't want to blow dry my hair because i don't have to go anywhere but bed. But i know that if i don't blowdry it now, tomorrow it will look like i put my finger in an outlet, so i will regret it. But i don't enjoy it. So hold on a sec while i do what i don't want to do....

Alright, i'm all dry and whatever now. So here's my vent about laundry at college. It sucks. I hate having to PAY $1.75 to wash one load of laundy. What a ridiculous thing. ha ha i'm kinda annoying today. All i've been doing is complaining. So onto a happy subject.

I'm going home this weekend!!! I don't know about anyone else, but i'm super stoked for general conference. Especially because it's so much fun at my house. We buy a butt-load of junk food and just veg in our pj's for two whole days. Pure bliss. Plus, general conference is when my dad gets a little....crazy i guess. He plays dinosaurs with his fingers and junks like that. Let me tell you, purely entertaining. Plus, its general conference. Whats not to love?

Alrighty then, bye for now.

Halloween Costumes

So i've been trying to think of what i want to be for halloween...without much success. Truthfully i really don't want to dress up. I haven't had a costume on Halloween since i was like 12, but this year, if i decide to stay in Cedar, i will have to have a costume so i can go can or treating with the pa's. Most likely i will jsut go home because the highlight of my halloween every year is my grandma's fabulous home-made chili and breadsticks, and i don't think that i am able to give all the homemade goodness up just yet. ANNYWAYS back to my point, i was trying to think of all the costumes i could have and decided to recieve inspiration from my family and their old costume ideas...so here is the schmorgasboard of my families old costumes...and by the way, the man posing with erin in the one pic is actually my mom...creepy huh?

Smash Mouth Concert

SO i've been sucking on the whole blogging thing. But I do have a good excuse...my computational device had a virus. Ug. Talk about a mood damper. But all is well now, so cease your unnessicary worrying.

Back to the point of this blog. Last weekend I was privledged to usher for the Smashmouth concert, which is a big deal if your me because the last concert I went to was Garth Brooks when I was eight. So you might laugh because it's smashmouth, but i laugh because i was there for free and you weren't there at all. It was seriously a blast, truthfully. I was on the floor the whole night making sure no one tried to sneak down close to the stage, cause you know those 10 year old girls can be vicious. It was just fun because I was backstage pretty much and was really close to all the sound equipment, and also to the security, which you will see in the pictures.

The best part about tonight was that I wasn't "legally" supposed to be taking pictures of the band while they were on stage, but i still did...apparetly. And you will see that i was dangerously close to security....good thing i'm freaking sneaky and didn't get caught. Breakin the law, breakin the law.

ALPHA PHI ROCKS THE CASH BAH

Woot woot woot woot!!! This deserves four woots, not just two. Because i made it into Alpha Phi!!! Yippie. So if you couldn't tell i'm pretty stoked. Super duper stoked. Tonight is the bid dinner when i officially become a sister. he he he i officially can't stop smiling. PLUS i passed my tour certification for Presidential Ambassadors, which means i can officially give tours. That was super stressful and i'm so glad it's over with! Nicole, the admissions counselor i did my tour with, was super nice and she made it so easy just to talk and make conversation and be myself...and she said i smell good...which is good becuase i don't want to smell bad....ANYWAYS thats all have to say on the subject of my super awesome totally radical life at the present moment. OH except for i have a math test today that i'm super worried about...so i'm gonna go study! LOVE MY LIFE!!! for real.

Missing My Ward

All right so this is my old primary class. The CTR 5 year old class. Aren't they just adorable!! Names in order starting on the left <-- Olivia, Coleman, Reece, Colby, Jacob, Thomas, Emma, and October. They were so much fun to teach and I seriously miss them all the time. Two of them are brothers and they both have like seriously severe ADHD....go ahead and try to guess what ones they are.... But i think that that is the reason i'm not such a big fan of the singles ward...because they don't have a primary and that's what I love to do is be with kids. I'm still hoping that they don't give me a huge calling...i don't think they are because i haven't heard anything yet and you would think that i would've heard something by now...ya know? I don't know maybe i'm just deluding myself into believing that ha ha. So tomorrow i find out if i get invited to the almost final diner of Alpha Phi, which is the sorority i'm rushing for this week. At the beginning i didn't think i would be too sad if i didn't make it, but seriously, i think i would be pretty crushed if i didn't make it! Anyway...that's pretty much all i have to say now. this is seriously like the fourth blog i've done today! But the first three don't really count....:D

Yup Yup

I like this one :D

I Hated That Template

Yuck yuck yuck yuck. I hated that one as soon as i put it on. So you guys don't even get to see it. Kuck it was ugly. Hopefully I like this one...i haven't looked at it yet.

My Blog Background

So i keep changing my background. I think its because i'm indicisive and can't make up my mind. I liked the red one i had, but i didn't like it how you could see through my pics into the background. Not cool. SOOOO i guess i'll try this one for a little while. I don't know, I think its kinda cute...

My Cute Little Puppy

Ok so i miss my puppy. I was just laying on my bed and my dog used to come and sleep on my neck when i would lay on the couch and i miss her!!!! She is such a cutie. Except i don't miss when she would shed all over me...but its a small price to pay for something so freaking cute!

Anyways onto something more happy...i have gotten very good at cleaning my room! My mother would be so proud of me. Its just that when you only have half a room for ALL of your stuff...meaning clothes, bathroom stuff, school stuff, sleeping stuff, and EVERYTHING else you own, you kinda have to keep everything organized or you loose your mind! But lo and behold, i have been able to keep my room VERY organized and clean...for the most part. I will admit that there have been a couple instances where my room wasn't as clean as it could possibly be, but that was generally just that my bed wasn't made. Not to shabby i must admit.

I still haven't found a job. I am such a pathetic loser that i can't even stand it most days. It's not that i'm not trying, its just that no one will call me back!!!! Arg it's so frustrating. I'm going to apply to Denny's and Panda Express today...i'm so so happy!! And yes, i am being extremely sarcastic. Yuck Denny's and Panda Express. Sick.

So i need to go shopping really really bad. I really don't want to though. Mostly because i really don't have the funds to go shopping, but hey, i gotta eat. Ya know. I need things like bread and milk...and frozen dinners lol. And pot pies. yum yum they are freaking good.

So i'm think about going to rush tonight for a sorority. Free food woot woot. I'm still not so sure about joining, but hey, not gonna knock it til i try it. Me and Audrey are thinking about renting a movie tonight and watching it and then doing something ramdom...her words. I don't nessicarily know what random means to her, but i can almost guarentee it isn't the same definition as mine. Oh well it should be...exciting to say the least. lol

Anyway, off i go to apply for jobs.

I just decided on a minor. Drumroll please....i'm minoring in....secondary art education. Woot woot. I figure it goes along nicely with my major, which is Studio Art with an emphasis in Drawing, Painting, and Printmaking. I was having a super big problem trying to figure out what exactly I wanted to do with my life. SO now I feel a little better knowing that I have a plan. I just realized that I haven't posted any of my pics of my room so....here they are. The girl on the bed is my roomy Audrey. And the one is the sad contents of my micro fridge. :( how sad. But isn't my room just ah-dorable!

My Mom's Phone Sucks

So I was just talking to my mother dear and she definately needs a new cellular device. I was on the phone with her for about twenty minutes, and in the course of the twenty minutes, her phone had hung up on me four times! Count them. Four. Re-diculous. (ha ha noel you don't know how to spell that word. sucka)
So last thursday I applied at the music store, because i'm despretly in need of a job, and they still haven't called me back. How frustrating is that. I called them twice today and each time they said that they'd have the person in charge of hiring call me back, and each time the lied. What dummies. So if i don't get this job, i'm gonna have to work at like sizzler or the pizza factory being a waitress. Ug. I haven't been unemployed for four years, and let me tell you, it sucks really bad.
Today is the first day I get to wear my P.A polo and nametag and let me tell you, i'm totally psyched about it. Don't ask me why cause i really don't know. But they're serving pizza at this freshman success thing and for some odd reason, i've had this addiction to pizza lately so i'm pretty stoked.
I signed up for the wrong math class in college because i thought that Math 1050 was the lowest math. And it's not. Math 1010 is the lowest math. I guess i'm smart enough because my ACT score was high enough to get me into that class, but i'm a little nervous because I haven't been in a math class since my jr year in high school, and even then it was only Algebra II. But i'm fully understanding it now, so I hope it doesn't get way too much harder cause I can't afford to fail out of this class. That would definately be a major bummer.
I went to my on campus library and checked out a book for the first time today. I usually don't do the whole library thing because I seriously never return them and then I have gargantuane (wowwy don't know how to spell that work) fines I have to pay. And whereas i'm now a broke college student, I can't really afford to pay dumb library fine. But I gave into temptation and checked out TWO library books anyway. What can I say, i'm a nerd who loves to read. So sue me. The book that I got that i'm reading now is called Under the Wolf, Under the Dog by Adam Rapp. It's a little weird. It's about this boy whose in an institute for druggies and kids who have attempted suicide. It's almost depressing cause his life basically sucks. I don't know. It's alright so far.
So I bought this homestyle turkey sandwich at Hogi Yogi today cause it was the five buck special thingy and my oppinion is...it sucks. It's like shreaded turkey on pita bread and it's good and all, but the pita bread is to flimsey to hold everything in and the turkey just keeps falling out. Ya, I got so frustrated that I stopped eating it even thought i'm hungry and now i'm just glaring at it. Grrr. And my mom told me that she's making stir fry, which is one of my all time favorite meals. Ya, my mom cooks now cause I scarred her ego with my first post. hehehehe. And also cause she finished...well took a break from....going to college online. Just for a little while I think. So now she has time to do things like cook....lol ;) love you mom.
Wowwy, that was a bunch of seemingly unconnected things to write about.
