Roommate Adventures

So far, my roommates and I have had plenty of adventures. And there are plenty of pictures to document said adventures.

These first two pictures are from a failed attempt at a picture-taking adventure with Nancy.

 "You woke me up!"
 This picture was taken at approximately 6 pm. And yet it's closed...
 Brittney, Nesha, Stephanie. Brittney was Nesha and Stephanie's roommate last semester.

 Craigo's! YUM.
 Oreo pizza and cookie dough pizza. SO. GOOD. 
 Stephanie.

 Korissa. We both have fancy schmancy cameras. It's awesome.
 Waiting in line.

 Sorry for posting a pic of you with your eyes closed, Steph. But I thought it was cute. :)


 Looking at Kori's pictures.

 I think they were grabbing each other's love handles...I'm not sure.
 Still waiting in line.

Second day of school! Second day of school!

Today was my second day of school, which means two new classes for y'all to hear about. :)

I woke up at 7 this morning and worked on the paper I was assigned in my Young Adult Literature class yesterday, and was able to finish most of it by 8 (which is when I needed to get ready for school).

Then I got ready. And worked on my paper more (and ate breakfast) before it was time for me to walk to my first class of the day.

My World Foundations class was...interesting. My teacher goes off on tangents. A LOT. This could be a problem, considering the fact that the class is only for an hour. If he goes off on tangents, I'm afraid we won't be able to learn everything we're supposed to. But I guess time will only tell.

After that, I went to my Child Development class. My teacher is HILARIOUS. I can tell I'm going to learn a lot from her, because she said it herself: "Child development is my passion." She also said: "Why are they stressing over students wearing flip-flops, and not stressing over the students being immoral?" She has a good point. They really do make a huge deal over the simplest things here.

I came home from school...and didn't do anything. I made myself some chili mac, and watched the latest episode of Bones. And then I watched the movie "Penelope". And then I watched the first five minutes of "Pride and Prejudice".

Then I took my roommates to the store. That was an adventure.

Then we came back and I finished my paper (it was four pages long!), and then got ready for my job interview!! The interview was for Opinionology. I think it went well, because he said to come back for training tomorrow!!

I HAVE A JOB!!!!!!!

So. Excited.

Then my roommates and I went to McDonalds. That was also an adventure. We all got ice cream, french fries, drinks, etc. Some are at the gym now...haha I have no idea if I'll go later.

Now, off to do more homework...yay.

Am I the only person who thinks this song is a great confidence booster?

I don't know about you, but hearing that I am beautiful from five semi-attractive guys makes my day better.

And no, I am not one of those One Direction fans.

First day of school! First day of school!

Today was the first day of school of this new semester at BYU-Idaho. And it was good...until I got to my last class of the day. But I'll get to that later.

I woke up at 6:00. Yes. 6:00. But it was all good because I was able to shower, do my hair, get ready, eat breakfast, etc. and still leave for class on time.

My Young Adult Literature class is going to be one of my favorite classes of the semester. I can already tell. Even though we're reading books that don't really sound interesting, I can still tell I will learn a lot about YA Lit and that I will develop a greater love for books. Plus my teacher briefly discussed Harry Potter (in a good way) and Twilight (in a less good way).

Then I went to my Grammar class. This class is with a teacher I have previously had, and he is still as hilarious as I remember. And I can also tell I will learn a lot about grammar...which is good...because I don't know a lot of the technical terms in the English world.

And then comes the bad part of the day...I went to my Fundamentals of Literary Interpretation class. The teacher seems really nice...but really strict at the same time. And it was a little confusing when she was explaining what she required of us. And there's a HUGE load of work all the time. She is one of those teachers that believe in the whole "every hour you're in class you should do two hours of homework"...that class is 90 minutes long. Which equals 3 hours of homework every night. Which is looking to be more homework than both of my classes today. Combined. So...there's a chance this class may no longer be one of my classes.

But I'm not doing that until I know for sure I won't want to drop any of my classes I'll be in tomorrow.

After class, I came home and ate lunch. Then I went to Devo and was told to get married. Of course.

And then I went to Paul Mitchell with my best friend Nancy. She will be going to school there in July, and since she took a tour of the school, she got coupons for free scalp treatments. It was one of the best hours of my life. The scalp massage was amazing, and my hair now smells delicious.

Then we went on a wild adventure trying to find slacks for my job interview tomorrow (which I will write about tomorrow). We went to Walmart, Maurices, Kmart, and this place called Bealls (pronounced 'Bells'). Walmart didn't have any, neither did Kmart. Maurices had some, but they were all over $30, and I'm poor, and $30 is way too much for a pair of pants. But I was able to find some slacks for a reasonable price at Bealls, and now I am prepared for this interview (and hopefully more interviews to come).

Then we went to Little Caesars and got dinner, and then we went back to my apartment and watched Glee, New Girl, and Raising Hope. And it was good. Then we watched an episode of Friends, and then she went home.

And now I'm sort of working on homework, although I'm pretty sure I will be going to bed soon.

Stay tuned for the post about tomorrow's classes!

What I've been doing lately.

Well. For those who have been living under a rock. I have recently moved back to Rexburg for the upcoming semester of school. So far I love my roommates :)

This past week I worked a custodial job on campus. Worst. Week. Of my life. The work was ridiculous and the pay was not enough. But I did score about $275. And made some new friends. So its all good.

Aaaand that's pretty much it. I start school on Tuesday. I shall let y'all know how that goes.

PS I'm deactivating my Facebook on Monday night. Hopefully my grades will be better this semester...
