End of the semster

Ok so for one of my classes I created a webpage about me and here's the link (its pretty sweet so you might want to check it out and some of the pictures have links to other websites :D) http://webpub.byu.net/babymis/

I also got my grades for last semester so that means two things. First, I am officially a junior. Second, I submitted my application to the accounting program yesterday. I will know if I was accepted in 30-60 days. I will post it on here if I'm accepted or rejected. So please no one ask me about it for at least a month because it will probably make me more nervous. So that's basically it for now :)

Conference Weekend

Ok so two weekends ago, I went to a thing called Festival of Colors. A lot of students here go to the festival of Colors and basically everyone throws colored chalk at each other. It probably sounds like a weird thing to do but it was fun. However it was one of those things that was fun to do but I would never do again...lol. It was a fun social thing but chalk went up my nose and in my eyes and it felt like chalk went in my lungs. My friends all agreed that I got the most chalk on me. It kind of looks like I have a disease :) Oh and now my shirt (which was black) is now pink, yellow and a little bit green.

So this weekend Casey and Lynette came to visit me (the fact that conference was here may have encouraged them to come too). So we stayed at my aunt Vernita's house and I had so much fun. I haven't seen them for like a year and it's been even longer for lynette. Of course I took on the roll of entertaining my cousin Julia's kids. They are so adorable. Below is a picture of them riding the horsey :) The older boy, Sterling, kept telling me that it was his turn to be the horsey, but I don't think he realized how big I was. I was able to get Casey, Lynette and me tickets to the last session of conference so we got all dressed up and took the train from Vernita's house to Salt Lake. It was the first time that I have ever been on a train so it was pretty exciting for me. The conference center is so huge. Casey said it looked like The Great and Spacious Building so after the session Casey insisted that we go to the top level. He stood at the edge of the balcony pretending to mock the people going into Temple Square. Get it? Yeah he thought he was pretty funny...haha. And last of all here is a picture of Vernita, Faith, Lynette and me. Now you can see where i get my beauty from ;)

New Hair...Once Again

Ok I was bored so I decided to dye my hair once again. I went back to Black and I like it. Here's a picture, what do you think.So I'm pretty sure that I couldn't be anymore clumsy. I would actually say that I make being clumsy an art. On Wednesday I hurt my knee. Here's what happened...I was running up the stairs of my apartment complex and I tripped and landed on my knee. It got so swollen and the next day it was bruised also. You can see in the picture where it's swollen (the picture actually doesn't show how swollen it is). It's swollen in a line because I landed right on the edge of the stair with the soft part of my knee and our stairs are metal on the edge. Lucky me. As of right now my knee only hurts slightly. And it's not as bruised, probably because I iced it so much.
By request of my mom, I am putting up the video of my Polar Bear Swim. It's actually kind of pathetic how slow I am swimming (although 30 degree water is a good excuse). As you can see, I started before everyone and half of them still swam faster than me...lol

The Hortin's

So every Sunday I go to my Aunt Ozi's house for dinner. This is a picture of me and Ozi. Let me first rave for a few minutes about what a good cook she is. I'm pretty sure that she hasn't made the same thing in the same month (we basically have something new every week) and her cooking is just amazing. Today we had chicken with some delicious sauce on it, twice baked potatoes, salad, asparagus and rolls. Anyone who knows me, knows that am not a vegetable person, but Ozi has converted me. I even ate 6 pieces of asparagus, I never thought that vegetables could taste good...lol. Next, let me say how delicious her rolls are. She makes rolls from scratch and they are so soft and yummy. Everytime I come home, my roomates are like, "did you bring some rolls back." I love having a good meal at least once in the week because as a college student, Ramen Noodles are a staple. Another thing that I love is being around family. It's so nice getting to know my cousins and their children. I have such a great family and I am so lucky that they are close by.

Here's a pic of Tanner (Han's son), Lisa (she picks me up and takes me to Ozi's house), and me.

Polar Bear Swim

Ok so I didn't do the smartest thing on Wednesday. For some reason I thought it would be fun to jump into 20 degree water. So every February my apartment complex and other apartment complexes in Provo (I'm sure they have activities like this in other places too) do something called the Polar Bear swim. It is where people jump into ice cold water and swim a lap. Genius Idea...I know. So I decide to follow the crowd. I was assuming that the water wouldn't be as cold because the weather had been "warming up" to the 40's lately (which is still freezing cold). So I go and sign up and when I jumped into that water it didn't feel terrible, probably because my body was in shock...lol. After about 2 seconds, though, it felt like death. It was the worst thing I have ever done. I could barely breathe the rest of the night and I was sick for like the next 2 days. And what was the reason for me doing this. Did i get my next month's utilities paid for or even a dinner. Nope. I got a T-shirt. I did all of this for a T-shirt that was too big on me cuz they ran out of smalls. At least now I can say that "I took the plunge."

To those of you who tie your shoes together

This weekend I was at work when I decided that I have a new biggest pet peeve. I work at a bowling alley called Fatcats. I like working there because I get a meal for free whenever I work and it's a pretty chill job, but I can't stand one thing. I don't like when people tie the bowling shoes together before they give them back to us. It would be fine if just one person did it and I didn't have a lot of shoes to put away but that is never the case. On Saturdays when Fatcats is always super busy, there are always a whole counter of shoes to put away and half of the pairs are always tied together (and last Saturday when I worked, I had to stay after my shift to put away shoes even though I had somewhere to go). I have to untie the shoes before I am able to put them away because they cannot fit correctly in the shoe slots while tied together. So having shoes tied together always doubles the time it takes to put away shoes. which means that the line of people waiting to be helped gets super long. If the line is super long that usually makes customers upset, and I don't like being yelled at by customers. In conclusion, please don't tie your shoes together. I would rather you don't tie your shoes at all than for you to tie your shoes together.

Valentines' Day

Ok so this week wasn't too interesting but i had fun on Valentines' Day. A bunch of guys planned a scavenger hunt for me and my roommates and even though my team lost, we still had lots of fun. One of the things on the list was "stuff your face with candy," so of course I volunteered to do that one. Here is a picture of me with a mouth full of Swedish Fish (I fit the whole bag in my mouth, and even though the bag doesn't look too big in the picture, there were a lot of Swedish Fish)

I would just like to inform everyone that I have fallen in love. During the scavenger hunt, we saw a lady walking this beauty. It is a Great Pyrenees. It is the most beautiful Dog I have ever seen. She shed all over me, but that's ok. I looked up the Great Pyrenees and they are "calm and courageous" and good with children, but it needs lots of space to run around so I guess I can't get it right now. But look how happy it is with me.

One more thing. when I came home from work yesterday i had a bunch of Valentines on my table. You're never too old to get candy and cards that say stuff like, "You light up my heart" or "BFFs"...ok so that's all for now.
