Thanksgiving Break (November 20th - November 26th)

This week was nice because I didn't have to go to class! I didn't do much for Thanksgiving though. I stayed in my dorm most of the time. The one thing that all of the girls did that stayed here was decorate our hall with tons of snowflakes. I didn't help much as I wish I did, but I did make a handful of the snowflakes.

It was kind of hard not being with my family for Thanksgiving. They were in northern Wisconsin most of the week with my dad's family, so it was sad seeing pictures of all the cousins and not being able to be there with them. I'm going home in 19 days though, so it won't be long before I'm back to the lakes and trees in Michigan with my crazy family haha...

This week I realized that I might want to switch my major again. I don't know what I want to do. I was thinking about maybe elementary education or going back to dietetics. I have no idea. If any of you have opinions please tell me because I feel kind of lost at the moment with what I want to do.

Earlier this week, before break, I was sick with a fever and the sniffles. (I always feel weird saying I have the sniffles haha, it sounds so silly.) I was pretty much bed bound and kind of depressed, so Samuel FaceTimed me, which was nice. My visiting teachers also brought me hot cocoa and Emma let me crash on her bed for a few hours. :)

On Tuesday some friends and I went out to try to catch a movie at the theater, but by the time we got there all the tickets were sold out, so we went to Walmart instead haha... We basically had a scavenger hunt, which was pretty fun I guess. Afterward we went to InNOut, which I had never had before.

Sorry that I don't have much to say again this week. Next week probably won't be much different, since I won't be as social and will be spending most of my time catching up in my classes and doing homework and studying for finals. SO much fun. Ugh.

Oh! One last thing. I cut Samuel's hair and didn't totally destroy it. (Mostly due to him telling me what to do the whole time haha...)

Photo credit for this one goes to Samuel. It describes my life so accurately right now that it's not even fair haha...

It's Getting Really Hard to Keep Coming Up with Blog Titles (November 14th - November 19th)

This week was still pretty rough, but it was balanced out with some fun!

On Wednesday I was dead. Not necessarily physically, but in every other possible way. However, I could not fall asleep due to the fact that I slept in very late, so my friends Mad and Carolyn and I put on our Christmas onesies and went on a walk around Helaman Halls. Honestly, I'm surprised guys didn't ask us for our numbers when they saw us... we looked dang hot. Also, I felt very fabulous, as you can see from the picture on the left. Actually, whenever guys noticed us they acted very confused or freaked out haha... We did get one guy to try to buy us pizza rolls out of a vending machine, but he couldn't figure out how to work the stupid thing. It was very frustrating, let me tell you. Overall, though, it was a good night. We got home at about 3:00 AM. (There will be more pictures to follow.)

I'm not gonna lie, this week was filled with a LOT of late nights. I had some pretty bad insomnia and it got me on a bad sleep cycle. I had a hard time focusing at any given time. I felt pretty upset at myself for that, but this week is a new week and everything will work out okay. (Also it's Thanksgiving so what could go wrong haha...)

I forgot to mention this, but last week I decided that I want to serve a mission. Since I'm not going to medical school anymore, I feel like I have more flexibility and would totally love to serve the Lord for 18 months and share His gospel with other people. I am so excited! 

It snowed on Thursday!! It was soooo pretty. Samuel and I went on a walk around campus and looked at how pretty it was. We got pretty soaked though because it melted when it hit us. It was worth it though! I wish I had taken pictures. The bell tower looked especially pretty. 

I am very behind on homework, so much so that I have decided that it is better at this point to give up trying to catch up and to just start up fresh and new and study what I missed when I study for the final.

Mad and I (she is my super hot visiting teaching partner)

Mad discovered that I was super light and started running around everywhere with me on her back. It was super fun haha...

I hit a wall at about 2:30, but then Carolyn came over and got me up and we started stalking more unfortunate souls who were still up at that unholy hour. 

We had a shower party on Thursday!!! It was fun. :)

All of the late nights caught up to me and I accidentally fell asleep on Emma's bed for three hours. She was kind enough to document it for me.

Late nights with Emma in the mezzanine haha... This picture was taken at 4:30 in the morning after we watched 10 Things I Hate About You. I just want to say that that movie made absolutely no sense to me haha... 

Love you all!!!!

Why am I an Adult (November 6th - November 13th)

Yesterday I entered this thing that everyone calls adulthood. So far I don't feel any different and I hope it stays that way!

These last two weeks have been weird, as you can probably tell from my last blog post. I've been sort of out of it and have had a hard time feeling motivated to do much of anything. I'm okay though!

Sorry that this post is out late. Yesterday was crazy. It was kind of fun but not the best birthday I've ever had. I missed being with my mom, I've never had a birthday all to myself before. It's like being without a twin.

This Friday I went on a group date to the BYU Flannel Fest. It was really fun! There was ice skating and broom hockey and free food. I was so fun to play hockey again and ice skate. It was the most fun thing I've done in ages!

I don't really have much to say this week. I'm sorry. :( I'll hopefully have more next week!

This vending machine is a metaphor of my life haha....

This is a urinal in one of the other girl dorms that used to be a guy dorm. They have a hilarious tradition of decorating them each year. I'm not sure how I feel about this...

Emma was upset that I didn't feature her in my blog last week so here is a fabulous picture of the love of my life. 

I still can't believe the mountains are real sometimes!

Emma printed off an essay for me and slipped it under my door at 1:15 in the morning haha... (LOML stands for love of my life.)

Samuel ran into a wall and now this is what he looks like. (By the way Turd is my nickname for Lily on Snapchat.)

BLAHBLAHBLAH (October 30th - November 5th)

This week was a complete blur....I'm not even completely sure what happened.  I hibernated through most of it which was super fun. I think I may switch my major to sleeping cause I've realized I have a lot of potential in that field - A field of pillows and fluffy blankets to be exact. 

Oh...I was visited by my home teachers today.

That was great...David my home teacher taught a lesson about keeping the commandments but his companion JR was not completely on the same page as him....let alone the same book.

I took a test today that told me I have the mental maturity of a 37-year-old.  I feel so proud.  I sometimes dream about what it would be like to be 37. I imagine I have four kids and a hot tub...maybe a hot air ballon too.  But I don't want to dream too big haha...

As you can probably tell...today has been kind of a ruff ruff day.  That's what I would say if I was a dog. See picture of Maggie...heeheehee

This Saturday I went to a hockey game with Samuel. We won.

I think I'm addicted to cats and coolers...wait I meant cactus coolers haha I'm tired...

Oh and I got to finally watch the movie Zootopia!!!!  My favorite part was when it ended. 

Pretty solid week if you ask me.

P.S. One last story I had a run in with the po-po last night. If you have further questions feel free to contact me. 

Love you guys haha... sorry that I'm so out of it, maybe next week something coherent will flow out of my brain and onto this blog.
