Probably my favorite moment on Outsourced so far.

Day 1

Oh, it's a-growin'.

Microbes are EVERYWHERE!

I had seven days to blog again and tell you all what I am doing. After this blog, I will officially be redeemed. Wahoo. I'm sure you're all just dying to know how my microbiology class is going. Well, one of our labs for the week is called "Microbes are EVERYWHERE". My assignment was to swab something in my apartment, streak it on an agar plate, and watch it grow. Nasty much?  So here are my supplies... swab and nutrient agar petri dish.

Here is the culprit... a scrubby dish-washing thing. You can visibly see how nasty it is. Now I want you all to start imagining how gross it is on the microbial level...

Here is the process... kind of. (This might be a reenactment because I forgot to take pictures until after.)

And here is my petri dish. Can you see the streaks in it? That's where my microbes are going to grow.

Oh, and don't worry your pretty little heads too much. I'll update you every day on how gross it is looking.

Yesterday I told Mom about my plan for today. We (me and my roommates) decided a long time ago that we wanted to go to the Salt Lake Temple to do baptisms and today was the perfect day for it. Mom responding by saying, via text, "You better take a camera and take pictures and blog your trip to the slc temple. You need to redeem yourself to lose the title bad blogger. kelsey the b.b." While we were on our way back today I texted Mom and said, "We went and I took pictures to blog." Mom responded by saying, "Blog soon~~or u will still be b.b." Well we just got back about a half hour ago and I am blogging. I think I should win an award or something. haha

Laura reading. She never stops doing homework.

Kate chillin' with me in the middle seat.

I think I have been living in Utah too long. My skin is starting to glow in the dark.

Me, Hannah, and Kate

Tiff and Laura, and the navigation system.

Hannah only lasted so long.

The five of us outside the temple. 

Close up. The temple is beautiful on the inside. It was awesome to go in.

And we hit up the North Visitor's Center to see the Christus.

There Mom. Did I redeem myself? :)

Why am I here again?

It's late and I wanted to be in bed by 11 tonight. That didn't work, but I have to tell you how frustrated I am right now.

I realized that I had no food at about 9 o'clock tonight. We decided to run to the store really quickly. We get out to my car and it is covered in snow and ice- not a surprise but I forgot that I still didn't have an ice scraper. My friend comes with his industrial looking ice scraper and scrapes my whole car off. He's a nice guy. We finally make it to the store and get groceries quickly and drive on home. We pull in and there are no spots in the parking lot (which, by the way, is crazy covered in ice. Not fun.)

We park illegally for a second, take all our groceries in the house and I proceed to fall on my butt with bags of groceries. Again, not fun. We get back in the car and drive around looking for a spot to park. We drove around for a half hour, attempted to parallel park a couple times (I guess it's time to learn), and ultimately end up parking 5 blocks away.

This morning I was in sunny Arizona where there was no snow or ice on the ground. Why am I here again?
