The Gardeners

Once upon a time my friend Alyssa was sitting down on a stairwell while I was right next to her, when a man came up with a leaf blower and completely blew all the dust and nasty things on the ground on her. Not only did he do this, but then in the next ten minutes he came back for some more fun.
Similarly, at wyview they are always doing yard work. It's my only dislike of wyview. From 9 to 3 there are always people out and it gets pretty loud, especially when you're trying to study outside.
Oh and then today as I was biking to my first class, which starts in 8 minutes, some lovely man was once again blowing leaves by the stadium and blew them into me as I desperately tried to get up that dang hill. My eyes burned and I was angry to say the least. I think the gardeners should be taught on manners. I don't particularly like them.

Story of my Life

So I've always been a creep, but lately it's gotten really bad. I love to just walk around wyview and see what people are up to. Or when they leave their blinds open, I like to look in and see who's hanging out with who. It's entertaining to me and it shouldn't be. I feel like this is an excellent video for the week because my creepin' skills have really improved this week. I don't have anyone in particular that I'm creepin' on, but I feel like that's not necessary.
So I know that this Mindy Gledhill song isn't a music video, but to me it doesn't matter, so it shouldn't matter to you guys either. By the way, I heard this song from Karli just the other day...it fits right? Just kidding Karli, we're both creeps and I'm proud to admit it.

Movie Night

Once upon a time Karli's apartment decided to watch The Scarlet Pimpernel. I absolutely love that movie, but because I have homework, and I've seen it multiple times before, I decided to leave early. As soon as I walked into my apartment what do I find? My roommate and a boy watching footloose in our living room. Why are there so many temptations?

Sleep

Once upon a time I went to college and realized I actually want a social life. This leaves me with a problem: I get no sleep. How am I supposed to live off of three hours of sleep a day when there's no caffeine on campus? I can't do it. But as much as my eyes want to close right now, I just keep thinking in my head, today was so worth the exhaustion. Making all new friends is great. Laughing your head off in astronomy even though nothing's that funny is also pretty great. But most of all, college life is great.

The letter

Once upon a time I received a letter. Not a good letter. This letter made me mad and sad, but I'm too tired to explain much right now. Just know that missionaries kind of stink right before they leave or right after they leave, while they're still at the MTC. They feel it's necessary to share everything on their mind to get it off their chest. It's not. In fact it's worse for the people staying home, so just keep it to yourselves. Or better yet, forget it and move on.
Anyway I hope you enjoy the two sad music videos for this week. The first one is Highway 20 Ride by Zac Brown Band (one of my favorites). The second is one of Taylor Swift's least known music videos, White Horse. I little dramatic and over the top, but the situation I'm dealing with right now reminds me of this a little bit. Not really, but there are similarities. So enjoy.

Who doesn't love Josh Turner?

Once upon a time I was running the red rock all day friday so I was not able to post a music video friday. And then yesterday I was also running the red rock and driving so that wasn't really an option so sorry for the delay.
I've thought long and hard about this weeks music video and I've decided that this one's the one for this week. What are we doing with our lives? College? Who needs it? Why don't we just dance?
I realize that this song has nothing whatsoever to do with college, but in my sleep deprived mind right now, it's a good fit. So enjoy.
Plus, who doesn't love Josh Turner? He's country, he has a deep voice, he's attractive, and he can sing...

Sandwich makers

Once upon a time I discovered the beauty of sandwich makers. I was awfully young so I can't give you a specific age, but let me tell you, it changed my life. Soon afterwards it became a family tradition to make all sorts of sandwiches for the superbowl every year. We've made pb&j, pb&j with pepper jack cheese, regular grilled cheese, grilled cheese with jalapeños, etc. Anyway, so before I moved out I told my mom that I needed a sandwich maker. So we went out and bought one and I was extremely happy.
But then it sat in it's box for two weeks.
I haven't really had to cook at all because I keep getting invited to these dinners that my friends make. It's great. Tonight I went to my friend Sharissa's apartment for french toast, eggs, bacon, and muffins. Living the dream right there. However, that was at 7, and I got a little hungry later on, so it finally came the time to take the sandwich maker out of the box. Karli came over and we made...wait for it...s'more pockets!

S'more Pockets:
2 slices of bread
1 T Marshmallow fluff
1 graham cracker
2 pieces of chocolate

Lay the two slices of bread out and smear the marshmallow fluff on both sides. Break the graham cracker up and put some on both slices. Then take the chocolate and without putting it too near the edge, put the pieces on one slice of bread. Put together and stick in sandwich maker. Makes enough for 4, apparently. Actually, makes enough for 1 because the next time I make those suckers, I'm getting one for myself. Yum.

Journal Entries

Once upon a time I was in my writing 150H class and my professor told me that we would have to keep a 5 minute journal every day. She said that a blog would count and since I haven't written in my journal today, I figure this is a good place to get my assignment done.
The problem is...there's a lot going on in my life that I intended on writing about, but I never got around to it. And somehow I don't think I will tonight...sorry Whitney and Stuart. So what should I write about?
I guess what ever's on my mind right now.
So this weekend Sharissa and I went down to St. George for a college road trip. It's been fun. But last night, Sharissa told me something that made my stomach squeal a bit. It has something to do with mi amigo "especial", or so my friend, Zuriñe calls him. See, I've had this friend for a while, not since I was a child, but sometimes it feels like I've known him my whole life. Anyway, ever since we became friends people have been teasing us on our feelings for each other. However, both of us just laugh it off. He's the type of guy that has never liked a girl and I'm the type of girl that has liked practically every boy, so we're a good pair, friendship pair that is.
About a year ago our two friends, Houston and Jake, tried to get us to become true T-wolves together (a true T-wolf is like a true Aggie and every other true mascot there is). I of course refused and didn't accept the money. And I thought that was the end of the "trying to get us together" scheme. But in March they tried to convince me yet again that I was in love with this friend. Pretty sure I know my own feelings, but thanks anyways guys.
And then slowly it ended. And I spent less and less time with this boy. I got mad at him, we eventually became friends again, but everything's different now. Oh wait. But this whole idea that our friends have of us being in love hasn't changed. Great. I wish it was done with.
And that's the end of five minutes. Goodnight.

Hey Juliet

So I've liked a lot of boys in my life....yes it's true. Anyway, one day my friends, Sean and Houston, decided to give all these boys code names by using the army's alphabet. They weren't really code names, but they did it to keep track of all these boys. Right now I'm on lima, it's fine. But mmmmhhhmmmm was juliet and that actually really fits him.
So tonight me and Sharissa drove to my house in St. George for a weekend get-away and on the way down we listened to this song. I didn't want to be Juliet's Romeo but I like this song and I think it's great for this friday.
Oh and I also really like Anastasia.
