Love You!

Here are just a few of the people that I love in this world. (I love more people than this but I don’t have pics of everyone…and that would have taken forever.) I LOVE YOU!

No, I Will Not Be a Member of Your Stupid Group

BYU-I looooooves group work. Good for you. That is totally fine to let us teach one another and prepare us for the “real world” where supposedly we will have to work with people that we don’t like.  But…wait, in real life you get to make sure the people you work with are qualified; you get to fire people in real life. Well, Group 10, I FIRE YOU! …BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED.

I hate group work. Very, very rarely do you get a group in which everyone in your group is committed and sane. Unfortunately for my group this semester, this does not seem to be the case. Great.

I am not going to babysit you Group 10. That is not my job. I am only group leader for this week. Next week it will be one of you peons…and if I didn’t care about my grade (like you) I would not do my part and make it as difficult as possible for you (like you did for me) but maybe I wouldn’t because I have been there and it sucks to be in that position.

The instructions were simple.  Our instructor and myself made them very clear and easy to follow. If you had questions, well, you didn’t ask. I even sent out reminders. How did you graduate high school?

Be a little more self reliant. Not only for my sake or the sake of Group 10, but for your own. Do you want to seem/be pathetic for the rest of your existence?

 

I am sorry that my remarks are harsh but, I don’t like Group 10.

Opportunity Knocks….but Sometimes Not Very Loudly.

I have had a good week. No, a GREAT week. I have been so completely astonished by how well everything in my life is going this semester. Everything that I have wanted to do, everything that I have really wanted for myself has so far worked out…well minus about one thing, but I am in no hurry. And the fact that I am no longer tan…Whatever. Even my problems aren’t that hard for me to cope with…at least at the moment, I am sure I will have a five minute pity party sometime next week, but then I will be ready to move on and see just how great my life is and has been.

I have been given so many opportunities by coming to BYU-I. I know I wouldn’t have had these chances if I had gone somewhere else. But a big part of me knows that you have to take advantage of these opportunities now, before they are gone because they won’t be around waiting for you.

I don’t know where this “seize the day” attitude came from, but I am glad that it is here. Maybe it is because I got my first massage today and it was heaven. Maybe it is because I just ate  a delicious peach. Maybe it is because I just watched the Relief Society conference. But maybe, just maybe it is because I am listening to the Free Willy theme song. Sing it Michael.

Whatever it is. Please bless that it will stay.

Give Me a Minute

So, I have been neglecting this blog. I am sorry but I will be honest, I just don't have a ton of time anymore. I need a minute to catch up.

When I am not in class or running around to different things on campus or meeting up with long lost friends, I am so tired my brain doesn't function enough for me to put anything worth reading up...Kind of like right now. hm... whatever.

Anyway school rocks and this semester is already amazing. Although my body is very tired. So I think I might need a nap. Like, right now.

I don't make sense anymore.

I’m WICKED Through and Through…I Wish

Here’s the thing. Last night I FINALLY got to see Wicked. I  have been listening to the music for years and now I finally got to see the show and let me tell you something. It was absolutely amazing. I loved it so much and the girl who played Elphaba was so good. I wasn’t sure about here at first but she proved me wrong. Thankfully.

After watching it though, I decided that I want to be a wicked witch for the rest of my life. The end.

But really, I am so glad that I got to see it. It’s an amazing show.

America’s Next Not Model

So, the other day I went and hung out with some friends at Mukilteo beach as a last hurrah for the summer. Which, by the way, is GORGEOUS. I forgot how much I really love Seattle, and their beaches. The sand is wet and gray, you can smell the sea (you can’t really smell the sea in Florida…weird), there are always bonfires, there is a lot of drift wood…which is definitely one of most favorite parts…but anyway.Their sis-in-law is a photographer so we went out a posed for her while she took some awesome shots. Basically it was a lot of fun and we goofed off a little too much. We also saw a whale…wait ok so  it was a sea lion. For some reason I pointed and yelled whale when obv. I was mistaken and just a little excited. Anyway I am definitely not model material but they were still fun shots so here they are. Oh and we were out on floating dock so it was all a little bit wavy. Also there were some awesome strange men that were probably a little drunk. We had balloons and they kept yelling over to us in strange accents asking whose birthday it was and so Megan being the awesome, funny friend that she is told them it was mine…so at least they wished me a happy birthday. Yeah they were still creeps. Enjoy, and feel free to laugh at how un-talented I am.
