Swimming is Awesome!!!

So I just kinda wanted to brag about myself a little bit. Haha. Just kidding. But I swim the midterm half mile (18 laps in 30 minutes...and a lap is down and back) on October 15th (in basically like 15-16 days). I've really been trying hard to get better, so every day that I have class I go in anywhere from a half hour to an hour early and just swim. Well, today as I

was doing my warm up (and a lot more than what was required for warm up...we only had to swim 8 laps for warm up) I was able to swim about 14 laps in about 40 minutes...but I also just wasted about 15 minutes doing nothing b/c I was done with the required laps and didn't know what else to do. If I had actually kept going, I would've been able to easily get 18 laps in 30 minutes. I'm so proud of myself! Plus, today has proved to me that I am able to do things that even seem impossible. At the beginning of the semester (like the first day) when Phil (our coach) told us what we'd be doing for our midterm, I freaked! Luckily as I talked with Anna, she reassured me that if I worked hard in class I'd do okay. Well, I certainly will be okay!!! I'm so glad I took this class...I've already lost about 4 pounds just from swimming! I don't think I'll be gaining that freshman fifteen til next semester ;) Just kidding.

My Weekend

Wow...this weekend has been pointless! Just kidding. It's just been pretty boring. For some reason a lot of people went home. If I actually had money (well, I do, I'm just saving it) I would go home next weekend instead for a couple reasons, 1) it's General Conference next weekend and 2) this weekend is our family Sunday where our families are invited to come up and go to church with us...then afterwards they feed us lunch! Hey...it's free food! Haha. But my fam is leaving early early tomorrow morning to get here by 9:30 am. They're gonna be grouchy! Haha. Oh well.

Yesterday I tried putting on a fake tattoo in my bathtub so that I can someday joi

n Anna's biker gang! Haha. It was way cool too...barbed wire!!! But alas, sadly it didn't work. It was actually a way crappy one...almost like a sticker so it peeled off. Haha. But it was fun while it lasted!!! And yes, I did take a picture of myself putting a fake tattoo on my ankle:) I was way hyper that night anyways!!! When I come back to Logan next I am sooooo stocking up on cool tattoos!!! Then I'll really look like I'm in a biker gang!!! A lot of people down here put on fake tattoos just for the heck of it...some of them even put ones on that're of spongebob and Dora. Haha. I'm not THAT into it, but I do love putting them on!!! After that, I went out to the lobby b/c we were having a movie night here at Castilleja. A bunch of girls pulled out their mattresses so we all piled on those...and the rest of the people sat on the couches. The first movie we watched was The Italian Job. I had never seen it but I'm glad I did b/c it was way good! The second one was The Goonies...which is a total favorite of mine!!!

Today I wok

e up around 12:30 pm...it was way way way nice!!! For some reason, though, our apartment is like filled with flies! It is kind of disgusting. So I became a fly hunter! For like a couple hours I just went on a rampage killing about 5 flies. Haha. It was way way fun! I wish I could've gotten a pic of me actually in the act...but my roommates were laughing too hard at me!!! I didn't think i was being all that funny...but I guess the fact that we were up until about 2-3 am last night/this morning gave us reason to laugh at just about anything. After my fly escapade I went and cleaned out my cupboards b/c I was way way bored!!! I took everything out, organized it, and then put it all back in. It makes it look like I have a ton less food, but I really don't. A lot of it is just like the boxes of pasta and ramen and stuff like that. But now I can actually get to everything! It looks way nice!!!

I just got back from the General Relief Society Meeting. It was way good!!! It was the first one I've ever been to...so I guess it makes it the best one that I've ever been too:) Haha. No, but it was really good. Especially Elder Uchtdorf's (I think that's how you spell his name) talk. He always can make anyone laugh..but yet at the same time tie things in to the gospel and bring the spirit in so strongly!

Singing to Old People

Today we had our first ever "concert". Haha. I might want to start off by saying...as some of you know, I am in a woman's encore choir here at Snow. Basically we just learn songs and sing them at concerts...nothing big.

Anyways, so today we had our first! It wasn't much...but apparently it's tradition that we try out our songs on the old people. I was sort of scared at first, but when I realized that half of them couldn't really hear what we were singing anyways, I warmed up. Haha. We went to an old folk's home here in Ephraim (just a few blocks down from campus). It was way fun...especially when we did our songs Mamma Mia and Take a Chance on Me (both from the movie Mamma Mia). We do actions to both of those and the elderly people were totally getting into it! I loved doing it! I hope we go back!

So Confused

I don't get it...when girls flirt with a guy it means that they're interested. Is it not the same for guys then when they flirt with girls? I don't get how a guy can flirt with a girl and then date other girls and then tell that one girl EVERYTHING about their date and how those girls shut him down when he's gone to see them again. I don't get how everything can feel so right at one moment, then everything crashes down on you within a day. I don't get how you can be so sure about one thing but then it's not what you thought. I don't get how you can get hurt by a guy when you're not even dating...

This movie, though, is a good way to release any hard feelings toward guys...I would highly recommend it to anyone!! But it has a good message to it too, so all in all, great movie!!!

Funniest Youtube Movie!

Random Stuff

Hey everyone! So far this week has been pretty good! Been sick a little bit but I think the majority of the school is like that. It kinda sucks being in dorms b/c then EVERYONE gets sick even if only ONE person was sick! Haha. Oh well...dorm life isn't ALL bad :)

Monday night was FHE and so our FHE family went and played volleyball first and then swam in the Activities Center! It was way way way fun! Haha. Afterwards a bunch of us came back to our apartment (well, my cousin came up and Amy was there and so was Andrew and Becca was hiding somewhere) and we just messed around. Me and Andrew played 'Battle of the Cameras' in another video. I took this one b/c Steve and Andrew were messing around. Haha. Totally shows what normally goes on in here.

Yesterday was a horrible day...I woke up with a fever and went to my first class. Everything in the room spun around even when I had my eyes shut! It was nuts! But I came home, skipped half my classes and just slept the morning away. I had to go to work later in the afternoon but that was okay...I earned $40 for the four hours I was there. Haha. Payday is this Saturday so I'm totally excited!

After I had come home, I realized that it was cleaning check day! OH NO! Haha. Just kidding. Actually, we've kept our apartment super clean (pretty much ya...) so it wasn't too bad. Besides, before I left for home last week I cleaned almost the entire bathroom and mirrors so I just had to wipe things off and then clean the shower. When the RA's came in they were very impressed with how clean our apartment was! I thought we should've put on something like the Sound of Music when they walked in but we were barely getting things done as is. Haha. It would've been a nice touch though:) This is of me cleaning the mirrors...and yes! I am wearing a bandana. Haha. I thought that was an extra nice touch! Actually it was just to keep my bangs out of my eyes...but I looked like a total biker chick! Not quite as much as my best friend Anna (who by the way passed her motorcycle driving test this morning...CONGRATS AGAIN BABE!) but pretty darn close:) haha.

There's not much else going on...just have a chemistry quiz tomorrow so I'm going to need to start studying that pretty soon, but first I think I'm gonna take a nap! haha.

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!
