college... graduation... life

so i kept telling everyone that i was graduating in July. but i started freaking out... maybe i wasn't on the right track... maybe it was going to take me and extra another semester... so i did the responsible adult thing and made an appointment with the fine arts advising people. while waiting in line this married guy from my travel class told me that they didn't have a commencement during the summer (now officially called spring) semester. he also told me that i was too late to walk in april. while i am now having extreme anxiety waiting for my appointment, i try to calm myself down, be rational, and tell myself that everything will be fine. well... don't fret... i will be graduating on july 23rd of this blessed year, shaking president kim b. clark's hand (former dean of the harvard business school) and some apostles hand -- in december it was elder or should i say president uchtdorf... yeah be jealous.

that was last friday

this week
i got a new bumper... and was forced to put a fugly parking permit on it
got a mysterious package from a Jennifer with a gold, brocade chicos coat.
this one
except its smaller -- like more my size
-- i'm not really sure what i am supposed to do with it... i don't even know this person
cried while talking to my mom about graduating in the library, feeling far too many emotions than i can describe
probably did a lot of other embarrassing things
and made a new friend. her name is chelsea.

next week
i have to turn in a whole lot of projects early so i can leave for san fran with the classmates
sit in a 15 passenger van with 11 people in it, barely enough room for us and my luggage let alone anyone elses and 3 girls who get car sick. i should start praying that i don't get barfed on. i will be sitting in the back row with my iPod, books, and ZZZzzzzzz's (hoping to not do anything like drooling or snoring)

heather... the jet-setter

i may not be going to new york, london, paris, or milan, but this semester i am traveling way too much! it's not even the middle of february and i have already been home and to denver. in 2 weeks i will take a long drive to san francisco and the week after that to st. george.

i do love to go places, but i hate to travel! it takes far too much time!!! if i could just teleport or apparate or something somewhere in a matter of seconds i think i would do it all the time... maybe make a job out of it -- it could be a service to others. this last weekend i went to denver for a glorious occasion (my friend emily got married... awh) and i had never left idaho on an airplane to go anywhere but home. on the way there i would quickly get excited that i was going to see my mom and then just as quickly as the excitement came it went. the same on my way back to school. however it was a great homecoming on sunday, feb. 8th when i came home to find my bffs kris and court napping in my bed and when i awoke them, to hear them sing praises of how much they had missed me!!! and how i missed them!

maybe...

Maybe i've been thinking a lot lately. Maybe days here are getting harder and harder and longer and longer. Maybe the only thing that makes reality disappear is really loud music. Maybe i'm grateful for people who can make me smile when i really only want to cry. Maybe i love macbook pictures. Maybe i thought i'd share my simple joys with you! so that Maybe i could make you smile. just Maybe.

Baby girlllllllll!

-This is my life in Rexburg. Never get ready, wear weird things, eat top roman, try to force everyone i come into contact with to eat top roman with cheese (because it is the best), laugh, play uno, and be weird. I love OUR life. 

-Maybe we went to the school dance. Maybe we danced on the stage. Maybe everyone wanted to be us in our neon clothes. Maybe we danced with strangers. Maybe we are the coolest people ever. 

-Purple pant/Connor day. Wonderful day. Coney dogs, comments about over sized shirts, you just cant go wrong. 

-THis is my BFF jettttt, aka thee coolest, red headed, mullet haired, world destroyer, pizza loving, thumb war player, microphone talker, little terror EVER. He is a native and invited me over. I am obsessed. 

roommate poem... by kristen

Our current residence is the ridge 210
we giggle and joke and talk about men,
Uno is always quite the game,
But drinking soda is our true fame...

ROLL CALL

I'm Kristen, mismatched and all,
I'm afaid of heights, hoping not to grow too tall,
Laughing and well laughing is what I do best,
California is my home; in-n-out is better than the rest!

Heather is my parent given name,
But around here HoHo is my fame,
I'm a photography major, which I think is pretty cool,
And in less than a year I'll graduate from this school!

Hello everyone it's Kim here,
I'm from Northern California, Oregon near,
Horticulture is my major, what can I say,
I can name plants and flowers for you all day!

It's CoCo Mills, but you can call me Courtnee,
you can usually find me in a colored scrunCHIE,
I love top ramen and am California proud,
I'm usually pretty happy! Laugh out Loud!

My name is Jessica, and I love sega,
I'm funny and smart and love swimming mega,
The Fresno, California is my hometown,
Touch my fish and you are going down!

I'm Emily from the Arizona state,
And I cannot wait to finally graduate,
I'm really good at playing with my yo-yo,
I'm brilliant and king, just so you know!

We cannot wait to meet all of you,
So just stop by, even out of the blue,
Join us for a game or if you're luck a snack,
You'll soon find out we are all pretty whack!


So we go to BYU-I (duh!) and every sunday night our ward meets for "ward prayer." our apartment was in charge this last sunday... and we had to introduce ourselves, so Kristen wrote this poem for us to read! SHE IS SO COOL! everyone of course was laughing and now thinks we're pretty cool! haha... they even applauded us at the end... kind of embarrassing.

WE'RE BAAAAAAAaaaaaaaackkkkk!!!!!

we all got in yesterday! with only one mishap (with the traveling situation) -- yes, yes Jessica (JJ) is still waiting for her baggage to arrive!
This is her when it arrived 27 hours later! the other mishap... SOMEONE RAN INTO MY (heather -- hoho's) BUMPER!!! I AM FURIOUS. it wasn't even over break! it was sometime between 1 am and 9:20 am! I hate Rexburg right now!

Rexburg has definitely experienced some changes -- it's now a wretched winter wonderland and there are some monstrosities of snow piles, which are actually ice, from their so called ploughing!

We all came back reminiscing and catching up on our lovely HOLIDAYS... giving or calling each other nicknames... grouching about the inevitable weather... grocery store, horkleys, walmart, and book store expeditions... unpacking... staying up too late... and having a BLAST back together! we definitely miss kelsey and whitney, but i think we're going to have another awesome semester with our official additions of courtnee (CO CO) and JJ!!!!

movie time

last friday heather, courtnee, and kristen took an expedition to one of THE coolest movie theatres EVER! and no it wasn't because there was free popcorn or that maybe all three of us got to hang out over christmas break or that we saw a really wierd movie (seven pounds -- still not sure how i feel about it -- definitely not the feel good holiday movie of oh8), it was because of these little wonders... auto-matic, touch-free, hot-air, hyphen-crazy hand-dryers :) check Kristen out!
