Conference, College, Craziness

"I have a knack for alliteration. I'm a slave to it." -Sean, Psych

This weekend was jam-packed with SOCIAL-NESS...please be proud of me.
First off, on Thursday I was literally dragged from my apartment to go to the ward bonfire, which was more entertaining than originally anticipated.
Then on Friday I worked basically all day for the football game until I got to go to Jenny's birthday party!! It was way fun, though I took no pictures to prove it.
On Saturday, I made monkey bread while watching Mansfield Park with my roommates and then we watched conference! Then I went to Samily's for the afternoon session, some Rugby-watching, dinner at Zupa's (sorry RaeAnn), and then we met up with my cousin Zack, who was down from BYU-I. So fun to see him; we watched What Lies Beneath to kick of October-Scary-Movie-Month.
On Sunday, we (aka Brianna) made crepes to eat for the morning session of conference. Then I went to Samily's to play a rousing, yet totally depressing, game of Monopoly. Then it was ROAST DINNER!! That's right, Kimberly's roasts are back, and I've learned from my dad over the summer (though it was still no where NEAR Dad's high quality roasts).And then we attempted to watch Watcher in the Woods for our second movie, but instead told ghost stories, and can I just say it's been a LONG time since I told ghost stories; I couldn't remember them anymore!
And then this week I've taken 2 tests, 2 quizzes, and then I have one more test on Friday in addition to working a lot of events (and breaking my first goblet :( ) but don't worry, I definitely made time for a 5 hour game of Axis and Allies and to post (because I've been lacking as Andrew pointed out (hey I mentioned you in a post:) )).
Oh, and I got a BOMB package from RaeAnn/Jenna...THANK YOU!! I got so excited and love all of my new prizes!! I feel so special!!(PS The Frankenstein is a wall flower and, let's just say, I'm totally craving oatmeal cookies now!)
And now I'm going to go watch Ringer, not because it's great, but because I love Sarah Michelle-Gellar!

Getting down to BIDNESS

"What about the "bidness" side? Cause I'm more of a "bidness" man. Who's covering that?" -Sawn, Psych

I'm in charge of that! That's right, I'm back at school and there's a lot of bidness being taken care of...partying, work, school, and tv-watching... You want some more specifics? I will give them to you.
1. NEW ROOMIES
So this year, it's me, Lauren, and BriannaX2 living in Park Plaza. I LOVE my apartment and my roommates! ...we wear cute shoes :)2. GLENDALE FRIENDS!!
I haven't taken any pictures cuz I am lame...but I love having the Gendale friends close together! Our parties usually center around Samily's house and we've got Kendan, Jenny, Chelsea, Alexa, Liz and Brandt...it's been great! Lots of fun dinners together and some very entertaining shopping with Jenny (which is where I got the above BEAUTIFUL shoes)
3. PSYCH and HEROES
Well...I finished Psych, which was a pretty funny show; I'd recommend it for some easy entertainmentAnd I just started heroes, so I haven't yet completely decided my thoughts on it, but I do love this guy (below) and fantasy kind of stuff, so I am thinking I will not be dissapointed
4. CLASSES
  • ENGLISH USAGE (linguistics)..................LOVE
  • TRANSATLANTIC LITERATURE............LOVE (though it is a 6 credit class, so it's kind of kicking my booty)
  • NEW TESTAMENT....................................LOVE
  • SPANISH....................................................WELL...not really love, but that's okay
5. BYU CATERING
And I've returned to my catering position...I've only worked at the football games so far, but it is nicer than I thought to be back because now I actually know what I'm doing and what to expect. It's nice to have people come and ask lil' old me for advice and instruction on what they're supposed to do. It's also nice to get recognized a lot by the event coordinators for my work.

So...even though I miss my family and my Boise, I am enjoying all that Provo has to offer this semester, and hopefully it will only get better :)

My doppelganger...apparently



So, last night someone compared me to Katy Perry..said I look just like her. Now, while I'm going to take that as a compliment, I don't know how accurate that assertion is...you be the judge:
Me...
Katy Perry...


I just don't know about this.

IT ALL ENDS HERE

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2:

It made me laugh...(Ron attempting Parseltongue)

It made me cry...(Lots of loved ones die...)

It was totally awesome!(The final battle!!)
I went to the midnight showing last week with my friend Shelby, her roommate Lucy, and a few of their friends. We did a little dressing up with fun shirts, "HP" on our faces, deathly hallows symbols on our hands....
And, of course, dark marks on our left forearms (just in case we needed to contact the Dark Lord)
It was so fun to see all the people who went way out and dressed so awesome. One girl dressed up as Bellatrix and, right when we were let into the theater, she yelled "I killed Sirius Black!" and ran inside. haha it was awesome.
We got way prime seats and no tall people were in front of me, so I had nothing to separate me from all the wonderful moments of Harry...
I am so sad it's over though! I can't even believe it! and I already want to watch the movie again :)
