happy birthday to my favorite brother!!!

my favorite brother turns 16 today!!! i wish i could be there with you, bud, but i come next week!!! have a great day!!

did it pay off?

a couple weekends ago i had the lamest friday night of my life. i stayed home and studied for my o-chem test the next day. i drew and redrew glycolysis and the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain so many times my brain hurt. i studied my life away. but did it pay off, you ask. you better believe it! i got a 97% on the test. gosh, i'm good :)

happy easter!

i'm having a great weekend here with kendle and nicole and zac and i'll definitely blog about it all later, but for today i'm just wishing you all a happy easter and playing my favorite mormon message from my favorite apostle :)

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. :)
