Sun!

The sun is shining today!

It's the first time in a few weeks and it makes me oh so happy! :)

Super Bowl

I forgot how much I miss football.

My roommates decided to have a super bowl party, and it's reminded me how much I miss going to football games.

Yay for a new college that will have football games! :)

P.S. I'm rooting for the colts!

BYU...

BYU - Idaho
Last semester I decided that I am done with Rexburg.
Now don't get me wrong, I love the school, I love the people.
But I hate the weather! And I'm just ready for something new; the next stage of my life.

I took on 19 credits this semester so I could finish my AS degree in general studies with a cluster in Early Childhood. And come April 10, I will be done! I set out filling out college applications...again! Stressing since I can't gain residency in a different state since my parents still claim me as a dependent in Washington. How do people pay for college? Seriously?

I prayed last night that things would work out and I would be able to finish my bachelor's degree without taking out a loan.

Today after my classes I came home and checked my email hoping for an admissions decision...no such luck. I decided to check the application website just in case they decided to be sneaky and not email me. Sure enough a decision had been made.

I have been accepted to BYU-Hawaii!

I'm still waiting to hear back from BYU in Provo, but knowing that I have one option that I can afford has set me at ease! Plus it's a warm option!! :)

Books!

I always wish that I had more time to read books (well good books - novels!) during the school year. These are two really good books that I've read lately. I would definitely recommend them to everyone!

#1 - My Sister's Keeper

Definitely better than the movie! An amazing read!

#2 - The Lovely Bones
I can't wait for this movie to come out! I really want to see it. The book is absolutely amazing!

I Won't Fall For The Same Mistake Twice!

Betrayed: to deceive; to disappoint.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Gym Tomorrow!

This semester I have class at 7:45 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I don't have anything until 11:3o on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
I decided it was probably healthier to get up at the same time everyday instead of sleeping in one and getting up early the next. So for the past two weeks my goal has been to go to the gym at 7:00 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday....it hasn't happened yet.

I was reading my friends blog the other day where she said that she had the same goal! Finally some incentive to go! We made plans to meet at 7:00 the next morning. My alarm clock went off and I turned it off and went right back to sleep! She texted me at about 9:00 and said, "I didn't wake up." At least we failed together! :)

My assignment in one of my classes is to come up with a healthy eating and exercise plan and implement it. I guess I'll be going to the gym tomorrow morning! Hopefully this really will give me enough incentive to go. I actually really do like going to the gym, I just don't like waking up in the morning. But I am determined to do this. I will be going to the gym at 7:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, at least by the end of the semester I will be!

Squirrel Squirrel...

...shake your bushy tail!

Tribute to Jaci!

To my surprise (and total enjoyment) this semester has not been near as cold as the end of last semester. December (the few days of it I spent in Idaho) was completely miserable because it was so unbearably cold.

I mean look at this poor fellow....

He literally froze mid-stride while running across the road in front of our apartment complex. Poor guy!

We decided to go save him from his misery and give him a proper burial. I voted to put him to rest in our friends barbecue, Kya and Jaci voted for their front porch. We chose the front porch, deciding that was slightly more sanitary.

Please don't let Rexburg get as cold as it was in December. Thank you!
