A BYUtiful Day.

Today was the first day of school, everyone! How exciting! Here's how my day went:

• 5:40 AM--Wake up!
• 6:00 AM--Gym with my friend, Corinne. 
• 7:00 AM--Walk home from gym, call Mom (of course!)
• 7:15-9:30 AM--Get ready for my day; shower; hair/make-up; clothes; pack lunch and backpack; fix printer; etc.
• 10:00 AM--Human Development in the JFSB. This will be a fun, but probably very difficult class. I'm excited! Oh and my old roomie, Alison N, is in the class...yay. 
• 11:00 AM--Geography and World Affairs in the same building/classroom as the first class (convenient!). Everyone who knows me, knows my geography is the pits. But I'm excited for this class because my teacher has traveled to 92 countries and is (so far) very funny. A girl from my old ward, Jillian, is also in this class.
• 11:45 AM--Let out of class early (yessss!); head to Wilk.
• 12:00 PM--Take Typing test...got a SIGNIFICANTLY higher score than last time. And I kinda felt like I was typing slower than the last time, but apparently not!
• 12:30 PM--Walk to JKB for Stats class at 1...I call it the "Just Kidding" Building. Get it?
• 1:00 PM--Stats class...with 3 girls from my Taylor Hall class. Looks like I already have a study group?
• 2:00 PM--Usually Stats lab...buttt I didn't have lab today! Yay! So I went back to the Wilk to buy a planner and I saw Laura and Jimmy (from the Stake back home).

Eventually I made it back to my apartment. Read a page or two of my books. Filled out some dates on my planner. Waiting for FHE. Woot woo. That's basically my day today...and tomorrow should be just as great!

Btdubs, I totally went on my first date on Friday...got my first date in and the year hadn't even started. So basically I'm set for awhile. :P

Zion.

Hey all!

I'm in Provo. Woot, woo. Just moved into my apartment (sort of) with the help of my lovely cousin, Sam. Realized I have no food or pots to cook the food I do have. It's an efficient way to get skinny fast, I guess. Grocery shopping is definitely on the to-do list.

So far, I've bought some books and taken a typing office test thing. Had lunch with my friend, Alison L (you all remember her?) and went up to campus/spent most of the day with her. Saw my friend, Jimmy (newbie freshman!) and new friend, Connor (we were actually Facebook friends but I deleted him...and he called me out on it haha). Saw my cousin, Lindsay. Just a good day for seeing people.

Oh and just for the sake of posterity or popularity, before I left Virginia, THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE! Crazy, huh? First earthquake I've ever experienced haha...hope it's my last!

Anyway, that is all for now. Peace.

Gladys Getcha-There.

That's the name of the family GPS. I think it's become possessed. It took me on a toll road (ummm, no thanks!), around the airport (yeah, again, no thanks!) and all over Northern Virginia...thanks, Gladys, but you didn't quite "get me there". Also, don't try calling the toll road people begging them to let you through because you don't have money and don't even think about crying (yeah, I was lost but also one of my best friends was leaving on his mission and I wouldn't see him for two years)...because it won't work. They'll just say, "Suck it up. Find a way. You're not going through without the money."...Yeah, well...you have a good day, too...not.

So when I finally made it home (bailed on the party--it took me an hour and I still didn't make it), my mom offered to drive me. We got lost too, thanks to Gladys. But I guess on the bright side I eventually made it and gave David two big hugs and a fist pump.

For your entertainment..."Storm Warning" by Hunter Hayes, aka the Justin Bieber of country music. 

Blackbird.

"Blackbird" sung by Cameron Mitchell from The Glee Project. 

Yes, I have been hitting the replay button. Yes, I think his voice is like liquid gold and/or melted chocolate. Yes, I will miss him on The Glee Project. And yes, I have complete faith in him that he will be successful. 

Way to stick up for your beliefs, Cameron. 

"I'm Old Gregggg!"

So I just got back from the Potomac Falls Volleyball Alumni Game (the uppercase words make it sound so official, right?). I felt so old! But considering that the alum side had one pregnant girl and the rest hadn't played in months/years, we did alright. It was just very humbling...for some reason, I was in the back most of the time and played middle which I hadn't played since juniorish year. But ey, it's all good. I got to see my girls, Nicole, Alexa and Kayla which was nice. I also saw my old coaches which was crazy! So many good memories.

Oh and a camping update--loved it. I'm not a good camper, but I love camping! The burnt marshmallows and hot dogs, the rain, the bugs...just MAKES the experience. LOVE LOVE LOVE. And I loved the company. We also went to this Roman bath thing in Berkeley Springs (I can't remember if it's West Virginia or Maryland). But it was amazing! I definitely recommend it.

And I'm totally in a good mood, maybe its the happy endorphins rushing through my veins, maybe its the company, maybe its cuz I'm waiting for a certain letter from a certain Elder in my life (well I love all my Elders and their letters, so I guess I'm anxious for all of them haha). But anyway, this fabulous mood I'm in makes me JAM OUT to excellent music. So enjoy, here's a little taste.

Cameron Mitchell--Love Can Wait; was on the Glee Project. Whatta stud!

The Thompson Square--Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not

Peace out, girl scouts.  :]

I'm in a Good Mood, World. Get At Me.

I'm in a stinkin' good mood. Talked to my friend, Sammi, and got a letter from Miles. Well, technically I got it about a month ago. It was just lost in a pile of mail. Better late than never. And I'm packing to go on a mini-vaca camping trip with my mom and brothers. Woot woooo! Just sooo stinkin' happy! :]

Just An Update.

1. My wisdom teeth/face don't hurt as bad...now the only pain I feel is really in my head/stomach. I'm a mess. But hey, I'm almost healed...fingers crossed!
2. I finished all my America's Next Top Model reruns with my mama. I think she's hooked. Can I just say, that I think Tyra Banks is such a wonderful role model? For all you doubters/h8rs, just watch a season of ANTM. I used to think she was just a pretty face model, no substance, vapid...well clearly, I was wrong. Go Tyra! 
3. I finished the Bachelorette season. I'm so glad (SPOILER ALERT) JP won and that Ashley finally found love. She definitely wasn't my favorite bachelorette, but you know, everyone deserves love. She and JP seem so cute together! I wish them the best...now I just have to wait for the Bachelor!
4. I had a full day at work today. First day back. 
5. Michaela left on Friday...I can't remember if I already posted this and I'm too lazy to check. 
6. I got a letter from my friend, Tyler, who's at the MTC. So proud of him. He's serving in the Hong Kong Cantonese speaking mission. 
7. I'm relaxing and reading my friend, Jonni's, favorite book, Love Walked In. So far, I'm definitely a fan...and I have no idea what's going to happen. Like everything I've wanted to happen seems very unlikely it's going to happen, but I'm okay with that because it's just so good. 

That is all. 

Grab the good in life and run with it.
