I hate Utah

I hate Utah
I'm pretty sure it was made obvious to everyone who saw me on campus today that I grew up with the temperate weather on the coast. But in all honesty, Utah weather is completely unreasonable. Allow me to explain.This morning, I got up and saw outside that it was kinda sunny, with just a few clouds in the sky.Totally fine. Kinda pretty, even.I was running late anyway, so I just slipped on my flip flops and ran out the door to my class. Cut to an hour later, and I walk out of the JKB and straight into a blizzard.Except it wasn't pretty. Just really really annoying.I was in my SANDALS. My toes were...

Give me your ears
I don't want your heart, I just want your ears.I don't want your troubles,but I'll catch every tear. I don't want your lips,though I'll listen to all they say.I don't want your hands to hold,but I'll warm then on your coldest d...

Blog game thingy

Blog game thingy
So I avidly read my friend Candace's blog, and I found this little survey thing about personal favorites. I enjoy surveys, I always have, and I have no idea why. But I thought it would be fun to fill out the survey and post it. So here goes:Food: That would have to be pizza. Even after eating it weekly for the past 18 years.Color: Ok, in all honesty, I love black. But if I had to pick another color, I'd pick dark blue.Animal: It's a pretty even contest between a wolf and tiger.Sports Team: I've never been much of a sports person, but I do love my Cougs!!Dessert: Raspberry Lemon CheesecakeArtist/Singer/Band:...

My friend Leah has another friend named Taylor, and it just so happens that this friend of hers named Taylor is greatly blessed in the way of musical talent. In fact, he recently signed a record deal and just released 2 new singles on iTunes.Ok, we all know me. I'm a sucker for good music.So naturally, I went and checked those new singles out. And I was extremely pleased with what I heard. The two singles are called "This Is How It Ends" (my personal favorite) and "We Become Light." There are also some remixes available for each song.Very impressive, people. If you wanna go check it out, search...

Dear, it took so long just to feel alright

Dear, it took so long just to feel alright
I know I can't take one more step towards youCause all that's waiting is regretAnd don't you know I'm not your ghost anymoreYou lost the love I loved the mostI learned to live half aliveAnd now you want me one more timeAnd who do you think you areRunning 'round leaving scarsCollecting your jar of heartsAnd tearing love apartYou're gonna catch a coldFrom the ice inside your soulSo don't come back for meWho do you think you are?I hear you're asking all aroundIf I am anywhere to be foundBut I have grown too strongTo ever fall back in your armsDear, it took so long just to feel alrightRemember how...

Today I received a call from.... something.... (totally forgot the name of this thing) and they told me I was a finalist in the drawings for a brand new 2011 Lincoln Navigator.How fancy.I kid you not. Unfortunately, I had to be honest and tell them I had no recollection of entering this contest. And they said they probably called me in error, quickly apologized, and hung up.*sigh*Oh, well. I don't need a Lincoln Navigator.... but I definitely want one now....

I love random things. So I was overly excited today when I walked towards the Widtsoe building to meet with my Bio TA's, and I happened across a llama.Hello, llama. You made my life.My guess is that it had something to do with advertising for the yellow table in the background. I didn't bother to ask, though. I really didn't care. I was just happy that there was a llama.It's the little things like this that make me hap...

I would like to announce the homecoming of my dear friend Justin Johnson (aka. Pookie.... or François). He served a mission in Mexico for two years, and he got home last night. I cannot wait to see him when I go home for the summer. :)I've missed this cool cat....

Babies babies babies.... (and other relevant topics)
I had a weekend full of babies.I went up to Idaho (as you already know if you keep up with this blog regularly) and I attended my cousins baby shower. At that shower, in addition to the baby being celebrated, there were also 5 more babies in attendance. I only bothered to get pictures of the baby being celebrated (Trinelle) and her cousin (Hunter).This is Trinelle.Look into those eyes and tell me she's not precious.This is Trinny and Hunter.Lil cousins!!I was baby-happy. It was great.In other news, I also got to spend some quality time with my cousin Andy, who was just called to serve a mission...

The turning of tables

The turning of tables
This week has begun to take a turn for the better. This morning I got up early and aced a French oral (not trying to toot my own horn or anything, but are we surprised? not really...) and then went on to conquer the day. I ordered a guitar strap off Amazon.com and got free shipping for being a university student (one of the perks of a higher education), and also ordered two of my favorite movies (both for under $2), Bride Wars and The Women. (I FREAKING LOVE AMAZON.COM.)I would like to talk about The Women for a moment. So few people have heard of this chic flic masterpiece and that needs to be...

In fits of anger...
These past two days have been less than good. With my stuff breaking, and drowning in work, and having 5 TESTS IN A 4 DAY PERIOD (which is nothing less than ABSURD), and just feeling like Biology is intentionally trying to slit my throat, I was, well... angry... this evening. I don't often get mad like I did tonight. You know what's the best thing to do when you're mad?That's right. Blow stuff up.Boom BOOM.Cut to me and Ashley and Holly on the top of level of the parking garage next to the Tanner building with a pack of mento's and a 2-liter bottle of diet coke. Well, we pulled a mild STUPID and...

The ultimate screw-over

The ultimate screw-over
I'm sure there are many things in the world that screw people over on a much grander scale than I am being screwed over, but in all honesty, right now I find it unbelievable that people haven't caught onto this already.EARBUDS.Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot even begin to describe to you the irritation that I feel towards the headphone/earbud industry. I've always been careful never to spend more that $20 on a pair of earbuds. However, it really doesn't make a difference because in the past 2 1/2 years, I have probably spent over $200 and gone through about 17 pairs of earbuds. Those little suckers...

8 de Março - Dia Internacional Da Mulher

8 de Março - Dia Internacional Da Mulher
A história desse dia começa a 8 de Março de 1857 quando operárias de uma fábrica de texteis de New York se manifestavam em greve para a redução da carga horária de trabalho de 16 horas para 10 horas e aumentar o salário cujo era um terço do que os homens recebiam.E com um acto macabro, mais de uma centena dessas mulheres foram trancadas e queimadas dentro da mesma fábrica. Em 1908, mais de 14 mil mulheres marcharam nas ruas de New York: com o mesmo objectivo que as operárias no ano de 1857, desta vez com a novidade de direito de voto. Caminhavam com o slogan "Pão e Rosas", em que o pão simbolizava...

You can't evade the inevitable.
In the tradition of sucky Mondays, I was in a rush this morning, and as I ran to grab by backpack after lunch my beautiful, trusty iPod touch fell out of my pocket. I've dropped my iPod on several occasions before this, and it has held out just fine, so I picked it up without even looking at it and shoved it back in my pocket. However, upon pulling it out later, I discovered this:Beautiful. Just lovely.Of course, this happens to THOUSANDS of people all the time. However, this has NEVER happened to me. I've owned 5 different iPods before this one, and not once have I ever cracked the screen on...

Sicked out

Sicked out
I've never been a sickly kid. I rarely got the flu, and not because I always got the shots... I hated the shots, and I fought against them as much as possible. Honestly, I can't remember any times that I was really sick.However, during high school I discovered that cold viruses have this uncanny ability to incapacitate me.I first found this out when I caught a cold about 2 weeks before spring break my sophomore year. I was literally out of school for a week, sitting in bed with several rolls of toilet paper and a trashcan next to my bed. I also kept a stack of books with me, because when you're...

I've been putting this off for a while.But I think it's a pretty appropriate time for this letter.I'm not going to say everything on my mind.. but I'll summarize.  I have recently realized that there's too many times I take for granted all the love I have for each of you.Through the good times and the bad,you guys will always be there for me.I will never have nothing to come back to.  I really want you each to know that I love you both.No matter what.After everything is said and done, you are my mother and father.No one will ever replace...
