I am not one.

"Slut"

Dictionary.com definition: an immoral woman.
Urban dictionary watered down definition: someone who sleeps with everyone.

My roommates frequently (*cough* every day) use this word as a "term of endearment," along with "skank," "hoe," and "stripper."

Today, my roommate told me I was her favorite slut.

And you know what?

I'm sick of being called a slut. And a stripper. I've never been called a skank or hoe, but I still don't like hearing those words.

I am neither a slut or a stripper. I don't care if they think its a term of endearment. I don't.

Two and a half more weeks and I never have to hear those "terms of endearment" ever again. Hallelujah.

July is awesome.

Wanna know why?

1. Independence Day. One of my favorite holidays. And not only for the fun activities. I love US History, so Independence Day is pretty awesome. But I still love the barbecues, the city breakfasts, the carnivals, and (a new development) having a day off from school. Oh, and the fireworks.
2. My birthday. What's not to love about that? Plus, it's three days after Independence Day. So two holidays in the same week! Woo! 
3. SCHOOL'S OUT!
4. Family reunion. Even though I can only go for a night. But it will be a night of awesomeness.
5. Pioneer Day. Which is really only a Utah holiday, even though Idahoans (for some reason) like celebrating it too. Weirdos. Anyway. Growing up I loved going to This Is The Place Heritage Park on Pioneer Day. They always have fun activities going on that day.

Those are the only reasons I can think of, but I'm sure I'll come up with more once we actually get into July. It's so close!

I think I owe an update.

Whale. What have I been up to? And how do I put it into words?

Just to let y'all know. Nothing super amazing has happened. I'm just at a loss of words.

Honestly, not much has gone on. Still going to school (meah), still working at Domino's (YAY), etc.

I got a 74% on my grammar test! Which is a 20% improvement from my first test of the semester! Go me. :)

I got an 80% on my World Foundations test today! Which is much better than all of my other tests. Go me. Again. :)

No dates. Meah. And I've basically given up all hope of getting a date this semester. Oh well. Not like I have much time for it. Anyway...not to put a damper on this happy blog...

I'm going to Utah tomorrow! It's for a sad purpose, but I'm excited to see my family...three weeks after I last saw them. Haha its gonna be a blast!

I watched the entire fourth (and most recent...as in there aren't any more episodes to watch) season of "Castle" during the past two weeks. And the season finale...HOLY. CRAP. Can it be September now?! Not just for "Castle," but for all of my shows! This is one of the few reasons as to why I hate summer.

I've read an insane amount of books in a short period of time. And most of them I shall recommend. Because they are amazing.

• Okay For Now by Gary Schmidt
• Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
• Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse by Kaleb Nation
• The Wings Series by Aprilynne Pike (includes Wings, Spells, Illusions, and Destined)
• Shooter

I need to start working on the next twelve to read...yay.

Um...yeah. That's pretty much it.

This is how I feel right now.

The date of my birth approaches us with speed.

That's my fancy way of saying my birthday is in a month. From today. Friends, take note of this. Write it on a post-it note. Write it on your calendar. Do whatever you want. Because Facebook shall not be reminding you this year.

Anyway.

For those of you looking for ideas as to what to get me for my birthday (or you just like knowing what I like), here is a helpful list for you.

• A new straightener. I have had mine since I was 14. It's not broken, but its not the greatest, either. My sisters have this one, but obviously it is with them in Utah, and I am in Idaho for the next four years of my life. At least. 
• Jean shorts. While shorts are not allowed on campus up here, it still gets hot, and being in jeans all day is uncomfortable.
• Shirts. Doesn't matter what kind, as long as its cute. And purple. I like purple.
• Contributions to the "Kelsi wants a new lens/tablet" fund would be nice.
• Remember Me
  
• Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
• Miss Congeniality
• Robots
• The Wedding Planner
• Made of Honor
• Hairspray
• The Lizzie McGuire Movie
• How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
• Valentine's Day
• The Phantom of the Opera. Now. I already have this movie. But it's scratched, and skips at some of my favorite parts of the movie. So I want a new one. The end. :)
• this perfume
• Perfume, lotion, and body wash in the following scents from Bath and Body Works: Be Enchanted, Bali Mango, or Forever Sunshine. Preferably Bali Mango. It's my new favorite. 

That's pretty much it.

Invisibility.

I don't know why (so don't ask), but today I felt invisible. And I've noticed that's sort of the attitude up here at good 'ol BYUI. When walking to class, everyone has their headphones in. Its a rare occasion seeing a group of people walking to class together, or even just two people. Everyone walks by themselves.

I don't know why I felt invisible today. Maybe its the fact that the semester is halfway over, and my grammar teacher still isn't 100% sure what my name is, although that could be attributed to the fact that I NEVER say anything in class. Ever. Maybe its the fact that I never have anyone to walk with. Maybe its the fact that I also never see anyone I know, whereas other people do.

I don't know why I felt invisible today.

I hope I don't feel invisible tomorrow.

The Phantom of the Opera is there, inside my mind.

And quite honestly, who wouldn't want that Phantom (that one. Right up there. Not Michael Crawford.) inside their mind when he leads you down a romantic-looking tunnel with that smolder on his face, singing with the voice of a god, then taking you on a romantic boat ride while calling you his angel, and then asking you to help him make the music of the night? *swoon*

Yeah. I might be obsessed right now. But who cares? I certainly don't.

Over the weekend, I watched The Phantom of the Opera with my sisters and dad. Ever since then, I've had the soundtrack stuck in my head (I even bought it...and have been listening to it non-stop since then). And proceeded to post videos of my favorite songs from the movie ("The Point of No Return" and "All I Ask of You") on Facebook. And think of the songs (and Gerard...) even when the music isn't playing (aka during class. When I should be paying attention.).

And may or may not have been fantasizing of Gerard Butler singing to me. But come on. EVERY girl on this planet has done that at least once before.

Also, I decided that if a guy sang "All I Ask of You" to me with a smooth voice like Patrick Wilson's, I just might have to marry him.

Anyway...

Eventually, my obsession with this movie/music will subside and I'll get back to "the real world." But for now, I shall continue to stare at the picture below and continue listening to "The Point of No Return" on repeat.

Something ridiculous I heard today.

So. It's common knowledge that most students of BYUI only come up here because A) they didn't get into BYU (that's me!) or B) to find their "eternal companion" (as it is so often called up here).

Today, I heard that some students will change their major when they're really close to graduating, simply because they haven't gotten married yet.

WHAT?!?!

Why the heck would someone do that??

So close to graduating!

And after spending so much time in classes and doing homework!

And lets not forget the THOUSANDS of dollars they just wasted on education that apparently doesn't matter to them.

If you didn't get married while up here, that doesn't mean there's no hope for you in the real world. There are still plenty of single men/women outside of Rexburg. And even if you don't get married before you graduate, here's a wacky thought: stay in Rexburg. Just because you graduate doesn't mean you have to immediately leave (even though that's what I'll be doing).

And even if you do leave after graduating, there are still plenty of singles out in the world that you can date.

That is my rant for the day.
