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.

The End

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?

The End

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 End

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...

The End

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.
