byu makes me smile

the fact that we have a free seasonal bridal guide in the wilk... funny. the fact that they are apparently advertising for weddings in the spirit world too... hilarious.

festival of colors

saturday was a dang busy day. i woke up early (well, before 9am) and finished studying for my last o chem midterm. then i walked up to campus and took a two hour test, and right as i was walking back, a bunch of my friends were leaving to go to festival of colors. i ran inside, changed my clothes and we were on our way to spanish fork, utah. (just a quick story... i always get spanish fork and american fork mixed up. i know one is south and one is north of provo but i never can remember. on our trip down, we came up with a way to remember. spanish fork is closer to mexico! anyway, we thought it was clever...)

so it took forever to get there. traffic was bad and we had to park a million miles away. but we got there and it was tons of fun! as soon as you start inhaling the stuff, it's not so fun... (i may have had purple boogers too...)

[this is part of my group. a bunch of us got separated for a while]

then we drove back to provo, took the fastest showers possible (while still getting somewhat clean). when all of the chalk was coming off, the showers smelled so bad. i hadn't realized we smelled like that. gross. then we headed out to cedar hills for a hall party at my ra's house. we made s'mores and it was tons of fun. then we got back and i remembered i had to prepare a lesson for the next day... whoops. i got it done and was completely exhausted by midnight when i went to bed.

but it was all worth it :)

chemistry

so yesterday my chem ta played this video at the end of his review which is right before class. i must admit, i have always been fascinated with rube goldberg machines and apparently my professor has also. he came in right at the beginning and looked like he was just in heaven watching this video. i hope you like it. :)

oh happy day

today i turned in my last two papers of my freshman year. boo ya!

no laughing

let me just start by saying i know i have ugly toenails. (kendle and adrian and possibly mom, you don't need to comment about that.) this story is about something else but it happens to include my ugly toenails. so here goes.

once upon a time i ran the rex lee run. my shoes were just a tiny bit too small and for some reason, i chose to wear thick socks, making the shoes even smaller. after the race i took a shower and got ready for the day and noticed the tip of my toe was a little sore and red. no big deal, i thought. well, later that day, i noticed something strange. a blister had formed on the tip of my toe where no one else could even get a blister but since my toenail is so very odd (and non-existent), i could and i did.

[it got weirder looking than this... sorry you can barely see it.]

i let it heal and everything was going smashingly. then saturday (yesterday) i was getting ready and accidentally knocked over my tiny strawberry plant pot and it landed directly on my toe. [side note: sorry mom and kendle. i couldn't make them grow. :(] so now, i have blister remains and a new lovely blood blister, all on a place where everyone else would have a nail, but i just have a very sensitive toe tip apparently.

[lovely, eh?]

gag

so in my BOM class, there is this one guy that wears cargo shorts and a trench coat everyday. whatev. each to his own, you know? well, every single tuesday and thursday (and i'm assuming other days of the week as well), his cargo pocket is full of tissues, used and to-be-used. and every single tuesday and thursday, in the middle of BOM, he feels the need to blow his nose- the real snotty, runny nose-blowing- at least once during class, but sometimes even more, heaven forbid. when it happens, i crinkle my nose and try not to gag in my mouth a little.

oh but yesterday... yesterday was terrible. at the same exact time that he was blowing his snotty nose, a girl on the other side of me suddenly felt like she needed to blow her boogery nose. and then i threw up in my mouth a little. no lie.

holy moly

chuck and the office are the only two shows i have stayed up with. but yes, now i'm "doing better things with my life"... whatev. haha but seriously, have y'all seen the preview for next week?!

happy birthday dad!!

i hope you have a great day! wish i could be there with you!












ps- sorry pretty much all the pictures are from vacation. that's all i have. haha

rex lee

"rex lee run: run for the cure with brigham young university's cancer awareness group". this saturday i ran my first 5k! it was tons of fun and luckily, it started raining right after we finished :)

she can't run in those little high heels

i'm not entirely sure why this is so funny, but i have watched this clip like ten times and i'm still laughing. hope y'all enjoy :)

riddle me this

how long does it take a giraffe to throw up?

[cha cha is failing. it didn't know the answer either. cha cha said, "stop wasting time with stupid questions." the person working today was apparently a little bitter...]
