Blog is Back!!

So, after reading Aeryn's blog today (http://aerleigh.qwriting.org/), I realized just how much I missed keeping my blog/journal. So, thoughts for the week.


I got a 93 on my Sociology Final!! Yes, that is an A! :) AND what's even better is that it's an A in North Carolina as well!


For my English class we had due dates. Some was due last Wednesday and some the Wednesday before that. I don't have the energy to get the real dates. Sorry. Anyway, so I show up on December the 8th to my English class. The FINAL due date. So, I sit down and begin to brag to my friend Travis about how smart and on top of things I am. I was able to get everything done BY Tuesday. SO... while everyone else would be up cramming and writing bad papers... I would be sleeping. 


Except that I had ONE paper I wanted to tweak. But still. I would be done before everyone else... right?! Heres's the conversation:

Me: Ya i'm pretty much done with everything. I got it all done this weekend and yesterday/today.

Travis: No way! I'm jealous. I'll be up until midnight typing my papers I just know it.

Me: Ya. AND I won't have to do any paper extensions.

*Let me digress. Paper extensions- a 2 page single spaced typed list of weird and random things you (the student) would be willing to do for an extension on your paper. For each paper you want an extension on, you have to do one of the things on your list.

Travis: Really? That is good. I have to do two of 'em.

Me: Ya. All I have left is to edit my Personal Narrative. But, that won't take long.

Travis: Wait... Your personal narrative?

Me: Ya?

Travis: hahahahahahahaha That was due last week.

Me: What? No way really?

Mrs. Spencer: Yep. Guess who will be doing an extension list!!

So. Here is the point of this story... I had to do an extension list. Yes. Call me a slacker. But whatever.  Mine was pretty epic. And quite ridiculous I must say. Some of them that were included:

·         Tie a scarf to every limb of my body and wear them around ALL day.

• Wear my bathing suit over my clothing ALL day.

·         Write love notes to 3 people and hand them to random guys walking by include my number.

·         Wear a pair of boy boxers over my pants.

·         Challenge people walking by to a wizarding duel.

·         Sing 3 primary songs for the class.

·         Make a music video to your choice of song.

·         Lay horizontally on the pavement in front of the Maeser building chanting “Heck no, I won’t go!” And force them to step over/around me.

·         Bring macaroni and cheese for the class.

·         Wear sweats. Sag them. Tape a sign to the shorts underneath that talks about how I turned in my paper late/Dr. Spencer's awesomeness. Your choice.

·         Create a slideshow of baby pictures. Tell my life story.

·         Hold a Q and A with my English class, exposing all my secrets.

·         Declare the day “Abstinence Day.” Shout this out and congratulate people for attending as they walk by.

·         Stand by the Maeser statue and insult everyone who walks by. Extreme fake laugh and explain how I was just joking and their “Dead fish skunk breath really doesn’t smell that bad.”

·         Take pictures of every couple walking by and try to charge them saying I just took their engagement pictures and pictures of this quality aren’t cheap.

·         Respond to everyone in Taylor swift lyrics/titles and movie quotes.

·         Sing (badly) in front of the Wilk.

·         Ask people for a sample of their hair. If they say yes whip out a pair of scissors.

·         Anytime anyone tries to talk to me put my phone to my ear and say loudly how glad I am they just called because some loser was just trying to talk to me.

Yes. All of those. And many more. 

Which one did she pick. Take two minutes. Reread the list. Then decide. An even better idea. Print out the list and take it around town. Ask 15 random people if they were in my teacher's shoes which one they would pick.

OK. Have you done all that? Good. 

Now guess which one she picked. That's right of all the embarrassing things she could've made me do. She picked the one I put on there without thinking. The one I really didn't want to do but hey there are 60 options. What are the chances?!

She picked bring maccaroni and cheese for the WHOLE class on final's day. 

I made FIVE boxes of Kraft maccaroni and cheese.

Two pots. The left one has 3 boxes. The right one has 2.

The ingredients. (Not pictured the 5/4 sticks of butter needed.)

The moral of this story. I will never EVER have (insert number) children that require FIVE boxes of maccaroni and cheese. EVER. And if by the odd chance I do find myself in a situation comparable to the Dugger family (19 and counting TV show on TLC) they:

1.Will not all have names that start with the letter "j" (or the same of any letter for that matter).
2. Will dress in the highest of end fashion.
3. Will eat nothing but cereal for every meal. I'm sorry but if I wanted to run a cafeteria I'd open a soup kitchen.

4. Will NOT be on TV. Unless it pays really well.

OH and to top of this story of fun... I made the 5 boxes. Combined the pots into one giant pot. Walked out the door (aka Tuesday the 14th). Called my friend Travis to make sure it was at 2:30. 

THE FINAL IS TOMORROW. Now my English class will be eating DAY old maccaroni and cheese. Nothing says paper extension like day old maccaroni and cheese.

Life Today.

I don't organize my thoughts very well. I don't really say what I want to say sometimes. I feel like a lot of it is just a big list of my day to day activity. But, maybe one day that will be of interest to me.

College. It's fun. Well... for the most part. The work can be overwhelming. But, my social life is slowly becoming non-existent. So, I have plenty of time for work.

I need to move dorms. I have 2 horrible roommates. I have an "eh" family home evening group. Our "sisters" are nice enough but, not interested in being like REAL friends. Our brothers... are a WHOLE different story. 3 are weird. 1 is a BIG black boy. 2 think they are hotter than they are. So, that was a bust.

I am ready for a new ward. New faces. New friends. Well, I have a few i'd like to keep in touch with. Jenna, Nikole and Ashley for starters. Then there's Lewis, Mitchell and Damon. And finally Ammon, Michael and Ashley.

I do enjoy their company for sure. It's not all what I expected. But, instead of moping around, I am trying to make the best of it. A different approach from previous posts.

I don't know what i'll do if I can't find a room to switch into. Probably change my name to Sam and my gender to male and secretly occupy one of the male dorm rooms. It's not my most well-thought-out plan. But it IS a work in progress.

I miss my family a lot. It's hard not seeing them. But I guess it's good practice for the future. When i'm married and living in my Mansion in the mountains on a lake in Colorado. (Boating in the summer. Boarding in the winter. Best of both worlds)

I like to dress cute. I feel weird wearing sweats to class. I've only done it twice so far. I felt like I would do it more but it's like my inner "Linda" is pushing through to my subconscious and driving me to wear my cute clothes EVERYDAY. Which I do. But, my good style hasn't helped make friends.

In fact, I was informed it's the smiley faces in my texts that make people like me. Sad life huh?

I'm getting to bed. School seems kind of pointless. I am getting the work done. I am studying. I just don't feel like i'm learning. I think I have pretty good grades, but I am VERY nervous for my first set of finals in like a week and a half. Wish me luck.

I leave the 18th. YES.
