I'm baaaaaaack! ;)
Haha so can I just say how good it feels to change into gym shorts after wearing spandex all day? Not that I mind my spandex, but my legs feel like they can breathe now.
So I have to admit, I've had this obsession with Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I looked it up with Steph, cuz she's never seen it before, then the music got stuck in my head. So I now have the soundtrack and I love it. Though it's still stuck in my head, its been better. hahah For those of you who haven't seen it, look it up on Youtube. It comes in 3 Acts, and there's 2 parts per act.
My room here in Ogden is looking beautiful! :) I couldn't love it more. It's been known to some people as the harem. Two walls are curtained from ceiling to floor, plus the curtains around my 4-poster bed, and a fireplace. Others have said it looks like a princesses room. I have to agree. I have all my pictures up and everything is organized.
My homework load is awful, and I'm still looking for a job... Though that doesn't take away from how much I love living here! My roommies have been awesome, too! Yesterday was Steph's birthday so we made a little cake :) Monica has some of the best stories when she gets home from school (being a teacher and all). Poor girl has to stay at the school today for PTC (Parent Teacher Conference), man I'm glad I'm done with those. Anywho. We are having a blast! Every Tuesday and Thursday nights we have a roommate dinner together. When that happens, we eat really well. Otherwise I'm living off of ramen, soups, the occasional sandwich, and tuna helper. Hahaha! I also have fruits and veggies to go with it, so no worries. I eat all healthy-like.
Rachel is now in the MTC. I wrote her a letter the other day, I hope she gets it!
This was at her farewell. The yellow wrap/scarf/thing I'm wearing, she picked out for me while she was living in Iraq this summer! Yeah, we're pretty much besties! :) I miss that girl...
Well, I'm just about done with my first round of exams this semester. Chemistry was only ok, but I learned what I need to do to get better for that one, so I should be just fine. Math exam I is tomorrow... Wish me luck!!! As for anatomy... I took the first exam and got an 86% which is pretty good. Then I got an email that night saying that my test got regraded and my score went up to 90%. I was stoked!!! The NEXT day I got yet another email saying one of the questions was bogus, and my score went up to a 92%!!! That was a good day :) That's school for the moment...
I went on a date on Saturday (I didn't know it was a date until halfway through it, but it's good, cuz I should be going on dates, not just hanging out). It was pretty awesome. I took him to the Golden Jade (my most favorite Chinese restaurant in Ogden!) and we went to the planetarium, wandered around the tailgate party that was going on that day, then we went ice skating! It was a blast. After that we did dinner at my apartment (some Hungarian chicken and noodle recipe). Of course we had to go see Flo... Have I not told you about Flo? Well the story goes...
Florence was a 15 year old girl who fell in love with her 18 year old boyfriend. Her father disapproved heartily, and tried to keep them separated. So her boyfriend told her to run away with him. The plan was he would park at the top of her street at midnight and flash his lights 3 times. Well, Flo was running late and thought she saw his lights flash, so she went running out into the road. At that moment a drunk driver hit her and she was instantly killed. To this day, if you go to her gravestone and flash your lights three times, her ghost will appear and walk out into the road, thinking you're her boyfriend, come at last to take her away.
The moon was too bright. She didn't show up for our date. However, I went earlier this year with Monica and Steph, and she did show up. Legend says she's a greenish glow, but it's really closer to a blue :) hahahaha. Oh the stupid things we think to do!
It would have been cool if she had come out... The day before that (Friday) was opening day 0f Frightmares at Lagoon! I got to go with another one of my friends :) There were NO lines to ANY of the rides!!! It was AMAZING!!! (This includes Wicked, Samurai, the Rocket, Colossus, etc.) We went on a lot of the rides twice, just cuz we could. The moon was almost full, and their theme this year is more vampire-ish, and I thought they needed more were-creatures. So coming into the station of the Roller Coaster, I pointed out the moon being full and howled really loud... I got a lot of laughs and people telling me to do it again. Tehehee.
Oh and earlier this month, we all went up to Stephs cabin at bear lake. Hilarious!!! It was so much fun!!! Steph's brother Tom is engaged, did I tell you? He's been home from his mission for 3 months. Yeah. Crazy. The date is January 11th. The girl is still in California (he met her there while on his mission). So my time at bear lake was my first time on a speed boat. We had a water weenie, and Monica can wakeboard!!! It was stinking hilarious! I got to kayak for a bit too, which I loved, but it was windy and kept pushing us back :P
Here we are at the cabin, falling asleep ;) haha it was fun!
Hum hum hum. That's all I can think of to really update you on. I'll try to be better about that haha. Have a good week :) Pray for me! Much love to all.
Peace!
