This Weekend

This weekend has been quite fun! No joke. Even though I do miss some people back in Ephraim (wink, wink). Haha.



Me and Cass hung out yesterday...it was nice to be able to just relax with my old & one of my best friends!!! We went to dinner and the mall and everything like that so it was way fun! Haha. Her nephew is soooo cute! His name is Shaddix. Oh geez...cutest kid I have ever seen!






This morning I woke up late (as always! haha...I'm a college student now) to go to a volleyball game for the YW in my home ward. It was way fun! Haha. They won too!!! I am so proud of each of those YW - they worked way hard and they were able to pull out a win! I was supposed to be a line judge...but then it got boring and they didn't really need one, then I was supposed to do score, but someone else go to do it! So I gotta sit by my BFF Anna (the best coach ever) during all three games. I love the YW's crazy socks! It makes me really miss being in YW's. It feels weird to be 'too old' to be a part of them. It's hard to no be able to do the things that I used to love to do!

Jordan and Emily...concentrating!

The most perfect pic! Sammy went after the ball which created a perfect action shot!

The best coach ever...and my BFF & sister: Anna Swan!!!!!

Comedy

So Andrew has a brother (21 years old...haha.) who totally is the funniest guy I have ever met!!! The dirty blonde guy is Ryan, and the guy with the darker hair who walks past is Andrew. I hope you guys enjoy it...this is a partial video of some of the ones I taped in our apartment...he's hilarious. Oh and the guy in the doorway who Ryan is kicking at is their cousin Justin.

I made it home safely...I've been here in Logan for about 6 hours. But now I'm kinda sick...coughing really hard makes me pop out ribs and throw up and stuff...not very pretty. Tomorrow I'm taking Jordan Hanks out for lunch during her lunch break and then hanging with Stephanie (we're having a movie party for a little while b/c she's pregnant and not feeling great) and then hanging with Cassie. We're going to watch John Tucker Must Die :)

Death Hall Ball

Oh my gosh! I almost just got killed! Haha. Just kidding. But that's how it felt. We just played this way fun game, but at the same time it is pretty dangerous. Basically here's how it goes: we go to the longest hallway (the other one up here). We split up into two teams and we borrowed Kori's aerobics ball. You put it in the middle of the hallway and yell "GO!". Both teams go running for the ball. The goal of the game is to get it to the opposite end of the hallway by ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!! Haha. We won (I scored the point) but I was scared to death that I was going to get squashed b/c there was honestly like a 6'5" guy that was on the other team. Anyways, that is what we call Death Hall Ball...for obvious reasons. Haha.

Other than that things are going great! I'm getting more and more used to my job so it is getting a little bit better each time. Even though it's nice that I can choose my hours (b/c not every week is going to have the same activities...sometimes I go home, one week I have a concert, another is a rehearsal, etc), at the same time it's totally up to me to decide when to go in. So far (for this paycheck on Saturday) I have a total of about 20-24 hours. Not too shabby! Haha. I almost have enough in my savings account to pay for next semester's housing so I just need to add enough for that to be done and then I'm going to buy a camera. If I can save up enough I am going to buy probably either guitar hero or DDR :) Haha. Maybe even both depending on how much I can save. Down here I very rarely spend anything...honestly! There's nothing to spend it on other than food and that's not even worth it unless you go to Roy's Pizza.

Anyways, so I'm coming home next weekend (I'm coming back on Thursday the 18th or so) so if anyone wants to do anything (even just hang out) just let me know! I know me and Cass are hanging out sometime on Friday (surprise surprise...haha.). I'll be home ALL day on Friday :)

So there's this kid that walks me to my choir class every Tuesday and Thursday. He's in my institute class (choir's right after that) and last Wednesday he asked me for my phone #. He's also in my start smart group and we were leaving Start Smart and I could tell he was way nervous. He had a sort of terror in his eyes so when he asked me I couldn't very well say no or else you could tell it would've broken his heart. Haha. JK. But I did end up giving it to him.

So far I've done pretty good in my classes. On all my quizzes I've at least gotten a B on and same with my tests. I was worried about my psychology test, but alas, I got a B on it!!!!! Haha. And I had a migraine while I was studying for it so next time I'll do even better!!!

Other than that not much has happened. I can't wait to come home though! I love visiting everyone! I miss you all!!!

PTCE

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!! I just looked on the PTCB (Pharmacy Technician Certification Board) to view my test scores (well...just to see if I passed)....AND...............................(dramatic pause)..................................I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my heck. It's like totally unreal how much everything has worked out! Now this week I'll go down to SLC (prob not all the way to Logan) and go to DOPL (Department of Occupation Professional Licensure) to get fingerprinted and have a background check and then I get my Pharmacy Tech License!!!!!!! Crazy huh!

So today has been so tiring already and it's only like 12:30. I went to swimming today and we honestly swam about a half mile. My legs were burning sooo bad! But I am trimming down a little bit...and getting into shape. Anyways, so then I have Fitness for Life right after that. It just so happened that today was the day that we needed to run the mile. Haha. Oh my gosh. If we ran it we only had to do 1 mile but if we walked at all we did 1.5 miles. So I basically walked. But it was really hard b/c my legs kept almost giving out so I could barely even walk. My muscles were so so so tired! Haha. Swimming is way good exercise though! Much better than basketball EVER was for me!!! Phil (our teacher) only told me one thing I needed to work on so that means that I am getting better!!! :) I'm glad. Right now we're just working on front stroke. For one of the drills we did we had to swim with our thumbs under our swim straps and swim with only our elbows. It was only hard b/c we didn't really know how to breathe when we did that. Haha. But we did get to use the flippers...so that was nice! Haha.

I will be graduating most likely this Spring! Well, I'll walk at graduation this spring and then I'll go do classes during Maymester and then if I need to I'll do it during the summer as well but then I'm all done! Then I'm moving back to good ole Logan! I'm so excited!!!

Well now I need to start getting ready for chemistry. My teacher honestly doesn't really even teach...it's like a high school senior trying to teach us but oh well. hopefully his tests will come out of the book instead of lectures b/c I don't listen anymore :)

My First Weekend Here

So this is my first weekend here. It's been way freakin boring! Most people go home I guess over the weekend. But I have no money (really) so I have to stay here. Basically I slept in til noon, woke up, ate breakfast AND lunch and then worked on what little homework I had. Haha. I have it way too easy here...but it's b/c I worked my butt off in high school to take AP classes and worked even harder to pass the tests. So now there's a chance that I might be graduated after next semester depending if I have enough elective credits from high school. I'm hoping that I will b/c there's a Walgreen's (with a pharmacy if you know what I mean) that's opening up in Logan next year and I want to work there....badly! Haha. I like Skyline, it's just not the greatest work environment b/c I'm still pretty new to the whole pharmacy setting (I've only worked in a pharmacy for 4 months...3 1/2 of those were as an intern so i didn't learn EVERYTHING). The pharmacist does yell quite a bit and it hurts b/c half of what he yells at me for he doesn't need to yell or even get mad at. I don't know. I'm just ready to go back to Logan. I'll probably work a year or so and then when I save up enough money I'll go back to Bridgerland.

So for like the past 3 hours me and my cousin Steve and the girls in 202 and Amy and some other random people who just walk in have been playing DDR (dance dance revolution). I took a shower this afternoon and now I'm all sweaty again. Haha.

I'm sooo not looking forward to waking up tomorrow early! Haha. I am excited though to go to the singles ward! I did get a calling but technically I'm not allowed to say what it is. But I'll tell you guys tomorrow. Haha. Lets just say I knew I'd get this one...

I don't know what else to write...me and Steve went to Roy's Pizza tonight for dinner...it was way good! For $8 we got 3 slices of pizza each (they're big slices and are fat so like one filled me up) and 8 pieces of breadsticks each. Not too bad considering that it'll be my lunch (well...dinner cuz tomorrow's fast sunday) tomorrow.

I did try out for a solo in choir the other day. I was soooo scared but in the end I was glad I did it. We won't find out until Tuesday who got the last part but even if I didn't it was still so worth it!

Other than that nothing much has happened. I've put in 12 hours at Skyline so far (they're paying me apparently for the work I do). It's nothing like OGM (Old Grist Mill). So much more professional and busy! Haha. I never get a chance to sit down, which is what I was always doing at Lee's (my internship) b/c we were never really busy.

Okay, well, my turn is next on the DDR. Talk to you tomorrow!

CUPBOARDS!!!!!

There's just something about Snow College and sitting in cupboards I swear! Haha. So yesterday I had just gotten back from a very looooooonnnnnnnnnngggggggg and boring ride home (my apartment) and was packing away the stuff I'd gotten while in Logan. All of a sudden the girls from 202 came in and asked me to come into their apartment. Well, come to find out they had moved all their food and stuff out of their cupboards so that we could do this. It was way fun! The second one we felt like the Brady Bunch so we kinda looked at each other...it didn't work out as well as we had hoped but oh well. It was still fun while it lasted! The top left is Cynthia, top right is Larkin, bottom left is...ME!:), and bottom right is Tycia. The other 3 are the ones from 202. They're a fun group of freshman (not the annoying dramatic ones that apparently hate me now b/c the boy they like now likes me...gay! I don't even like the guy).

Labor Day Weekend

So I came back up this weekend to hang out with my friends and fam. So far it's been great! But the sad part is that I leave soon. Oh well. I think I got the job at Skyline...they gave me the tax forms that you fill out with a new job so I'm guessing that I got it. I won't be working a ton, but enough that I will have enough money to get by.

When I got back on Friday I went to Nathan's first varsity football game (he dressed as back up kicker...he's only a sophmore so that's pretty good!). I was hungry so I went home and then me and Cass hung out. It was fun even though we just went to Wal-Mart. I swear...even though we do some stupid things...things that generally wouldn't be fun...we always have fun when we hang out!

Saturday me and my fam went four-wheeling in our backyard. It was way fun! Haha. Luckily we have enough land that we could go pretty fast!

Well, now I'm going to go buy a fan for my apartment. My room gets so hot down there!
