Kelsi's Life in the Last Week

Hello again! Here's what has been going on in the life of Kelsi:

February 28: Last day of February. February didn’t really feel like a month…more like a week. Weird. Anyway. I went to the BYU-Idaho bookstore and got a new journal, since (thanks to my journal a day) I’m almost done with my current one. And I knew if I didn’t buy one soon, I would have forgotten, and find myself at the end of my journal with the next day being Sunday and not being able to write. :\ The one I got is the same as the one I currently have. Can’t wait to start it :)

A couple months ago (like in October ish) I had a dream and thought it would make a good story (don’t worry, I’m not pulling a Stephenie Meyer here). So, I finally started writing it. I wrote the prologue, chapter one, and most of chapter two! When I typed it up, it came to just over 2000 words. Pretty sure that’s the most I’ve ever written in one day.

After FHE, I went to my FHE brothers’ apartment to watch Gabriel Iglesias. It was great :) afterwards we watched this movie called Joe Dirt. I would not recommend anyone watch this movie. Its dumb, and inappropriate during most of the movie.

March 1: I babysat Benson. And watched Life As We Know It.  Such a cute movie! I would recommend this movie to everyone :) whilst babysitting (when he was asleep) I finished chapter two and wrote most of chapter three!

Then I went grocery shopping. Hooray for food (I was running out)!

Then I watched Pawn Stars (a weird show about a pawn shop) and The Office with Nancy. 

Then I went and saw The Eagle with Ron. It was…alright. Too much violence for my liking. And then the projector light-bulb broke with 30 minutes left in the movie. We sat there for a good 15-20 minutes before a worker came in, explaining the light-bulb broke. Lame. Luckily, the good people at Fat Cats gave us free movie tickets. Huzzah! During the 15-20 minutes of just hearing the movie, we tried guessing what was going on. It kinda felt like reverse silent films…

March 2: Nancy has been trying to sell a promise ring that an ex-boyfriend gave to her, and someone finally bought it. So, I took it to her at the Taylor. And then hung out at the Taylor while she went to class so we could walk to the post office together. We walked to the post office, and the clerk said that since we were sending it to Nigeria (the guy that bought it “lives here” but wanted Nancy to send it to his “girlfriend” in Nigeria), it was a scam.

I finished chapter three of my story, and wrote (and completed) chapter four.

Then I went to my FHE brothers’ Mike and Luke’s volleyball game, and then went to my other FHE brothers’ Ron, Tyson, and Chris’ basketball game. Ron, Tyson, and Chris’ team name is ‘Get Some’ (who knows why they named it that), so most of what the spectators were saying was easily turned into a ‘That’s What She Said’ joke. It was great :)

March 3: I babysat Benson. It was good…up til the last like 20 minutes. He got really cranky. I think its because I took forever to make him lunch. I wrote chapter five of my story while he slept. Later on in the day, I tried writing chapter six, but I couldn’t :\

I watched The Blind Side (second time this week) with Nancy and Trevor.

Then I was invited to watch a movie with my FHE family. We watched Just Wright. It was an okay movie. Pretty sure if I had watched it by myself I wouldn’t have found it funny.

March 4: For the first time all week, I was lazy. And I hated it. I contemplated life in the next couple of months and how it’s not going to be easy (no money, new apartment, school, etc). I thought about how awesome (sarcasm) my birthday is gonna be.

I didn’t write at all, which sucked. I just wasn’t in the mood to do anything all day.

I went out to ‘girls night’ with my roommates Kristin, Kristen, and Kelsi. It was a lot of fun :) we went to Dairy Queen for dinner, and then we went and saw Tangled.  We saw it in 3D, and I have to say I was severely disappointed. I haven’t seen a 3D movie in about 6-7 years (they give me headaches), and have changed so much. Absolutely NOTHING jumped out like they used to. Sure, things appeared off the screen, but back in the day, things would actually jump out at you and make you jump. Not anymore. So, frankly, I don’t see what the big deal about 3D is. Nothing special, just $2 extra. 

Then we watched Hairspray  and had a sleepover in the living room.

March 5: I didn't really do anything. Just hung out all day. Then Ron came over and we hung out with my roommates Kristin and Kristen and their friend Caleb for a bit.

After hanging out for a while, we went and saw Just Go With It. My mom said it wasn't as raunchy as Adam Sandler's other movies, and I would have to disagree. It was really raunchy--tons of innuendos. What makes it worse is there were KIDS behind us at the theater. Can I just ask what person in their right mind would take a KID to an Adam Sandler movie?? It's Adam Sandler!!! I guess Just Go With It seems like a more "family friendly" movie, but it really isn't.


Then we went to his apartment and hung out with his roommates for a bit, and then we watched Alex & Emma. That one was...alright. There was a scene that was TOTALLY unnecessary...and frankly, didn't fit the time period it was set in at all. But it was still a cute movie.

MY ROOMMATE KELSI GOT ENGAGED!!! Ahh!! So happy for her :) she and her fiance (its always weird to say that the first time) are so cute together :) after she told us the story of how she got engaged, Kristin, Kristen, Kelsi and I had another sleepover, this time on the Kristens' bed (which felt way better than the floor the previous night, even though we were squished).

March 6: Church. I love it. Who doesn't? Today's Relief Society lesson was SUPER good. We talked about adversities and Christ. Loved it! It was so great to really put Christ's Atonement into perspective--to really look at all the things He has done for us, and yet most of us take it for granted. Sunday School was equally good, because we learned about Christ helping us. Interesting fact: y'all know that quote "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it"? Turns out, Christ never said that. And that quote isn't even true. You know why? All things are easy, through Christ.

After church, I immediately ate (it was Fast Sunday. I was starving). Then Kristin, Kristen and I went to our FHE brothers' house to watch the fireside with L. Tom Perry. He's such a cool old guy :) he has an iPod! How neat is that? His fireside was about bringing people back to the church. So cool.

After the fireside was over, we watched Despicable Me. It was my first time seeing it, and I was not disappointed :) so funny. Loved every minute of it :)


Then Ron, Tyson, Kayla, Mike and I played Chinese Checkers. I lost :( while we were playing Chinese Checkers, we were watching Forrest Gump on TV. It was my first time seeing it all the way through. Every time I've seen it was always the beginning and the end. Lame. I'm glad I finally saw it the whole way through.

Conclusion: I watched A LOT of movies this week. Some might say too many. And this week was really productive :) except for the last three days. Hopefully next week can be just as productive :)

Have a good day! :)
