new beginnings

Well I'm in my new apartment for spring term! The last few days have been really crazy and exhausting! I've never had to pack up and move everything before. I'm just so glad that Amber, Tylor, and Drew helped me out with moving. The worst was for sure packing everything up and moving it out of my apartment to the central building on Friday. I love my new apartment! I love the floor I'm on and my building. I'm just sad my roommate hasn't moved in yet. Her name is Lily. I can't wait to meet her. I hope she gets moved in soon. I've been all by myself for the last few days. And I will admit that's been really nice :)

On Saturday Wistie and I moved out. It was sad. I cried really hard when she left. We were homeless for a while so we took a picture of our poor, pitiful selves.













Today was my first day of work. I'm working in the dining hall of the Cannon Center. I make sure the food is out and replenish it if it's down, I serve food in the line, do some cleaning while serving, and clean everything up after dinner is done. It's harder than I thought. I worked for 4 1/2 hours today and I'm dead tired. I work the dinner shift on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Yikes.

So I'm trying out for the ballroom team in the morning! I'm really nervous. I have no idea where I stand and if I have a chance to make it. I know that sophomores get recruited to the team all the time. There were some on it this year. So hopefully I'll get it.

I'm watching Happy Gilmore right now. It's funny.

Oh hey it's my birthday tomorrow. I'm going to be 19. That sounds so weird. Especially since brothers seemed so old when they were 19 because they go on missions. It's strange to seem that if I were a guy, I'd be off on a mission in a few months. Sometimes I wish that I could go on a mission now. I don't know what I want to do in school, I'm not to the point in school where I have too much info that I'd forget if I left, I want to do the work, and think that at this point I am strong enough to do it. But I can't. I have to be 21. And I know that wouldn't be a good point in my life to do that. I'd only have one more year of school, and I'll probably be getting married or something. 21 or 22 is a good age to get married.

Classes start tomorrow. I'm excited. I have my two dance classes and my MFHD class tomorrow! They're all going to be fun so I'm really excited.

I want to go to bed now. Goodnight.

Wistie's Pizza

It is 10:55 P.M. Wistie and I just ordered pizza. I owe it to her because of the roommate law. I paid up on everything except the steaks, and the steak isn't coming for a long, long time. Give me two to three years.

Did you know that 9 million miles are covered by Domino's drivers each week? That's 37.5 round trips to the moon! I learned that from their website.

Ordering pizza online is the fastest way ever. We sent in the order from the website and got the pizza to our door in no kidding, 13 minutes. And we got to track the pizza the whole way. Stewart put our pizza together and boxed it. Then What's-His-Bucket (we'll call him Jeremy) delivered it. He asked Wistie if she was Stewart's mystery girlfriend. Now she is. We ate the pizza. It was good. The end.

We listened to the Pizza song. And Wistie just sang it back to me.

Amanda made me a beautiful gift for my birthday. She put a DVD together of a big slide show of a bunch of pictures throughout the year. And she put lots of videos at the end. I cried like 5 times through the whole thing. Then I cried when she left my apartment tonight because that's the last time I'll see her for a long time!

I want to go to Disneyland.

Wistie and I shared a carton of chocolate milk with the pizza. It was good.

I packed everything, moved it all out of my apartment, and cleaned everything today. I started at 10:30 this morning and didn't finish until about 7:30. I felt like collapsing on the floor and passing out. Maybe I should to go sleep now.

It's the last night that Wistie and I have together as roommates. It makes me sad. We've been taking turns asking questions like What was your most annoying moment, what was the most angry moment, what was your favorite moment with everyone together. Having roommate bonding time.

Wistie, I'm going to miss you tons. I love you.

Recent Discovery

GUESS WHAT.

I figured out why I hate the microwave and the oven beeping so much!

To give some background, I usually watch the microwave when I'm cooking something and take out my food 1 or 2 seconds before the beeping goes off because I hate it. I also hate the oven. That one is probably worse. Especially since I can't watch it as well because it only has minutes and not seconds on it. And it's louder.

For the last 5 or 6 years of my life I have had alarm clocks that beep to wake me up. It's like classical conditioning. Now every time I hear an annoying, rhythmic beeping noise, it reminds me of having to wake up maddeningly early and disturb me from my precious sleep.

Yeah. Um, the end.

Eulogy to Chem 285

I only have one more final left. And I am SO excited. Not about the final, but about being almost done. As of this moment, right now, at this very second, I am officially done with chemistry for... forever. Wow. That is kind of sad because I really do enjoy chemistry. Sometimes. We have a very complicated relationship. I can spend hours and hours focusing on it and paying it a lot of attention and it stabs me in the back, or it can be slightly decent to me and be my friend. And for some reason, I still love it. That sounds like what my high school counselor described as an abusive relationship. Hey... wait a minute... That's so totally not cool.

Knowledge about chemistry that I emptied from my brain at the testing center:

1. Anything about alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, ethers, esters, carboxylic acids, ketones, aldehydes, or other organic compounds. Well, that's a lie. I actually really liked the organic section. I just mix up which ones are higher in energy or boiling point or solubility...

2. Structures of mono/di/polysaccharides. Who cares if it's a ketohexose or aldopentose, or if it's an L- or a D- sugar. And it doesn't matter to me if it's connected with a beta-1,6 linkage, or an alpha-1,4... it doesn't change the way my body digests it.

3. Glycolysis, beta-oxidation, the citric acid cycle, or the urea cycle. Enough said.

4. The electron transport chain, or how many stupid NAD+ and FAD things you get. To be honest I don't even know what those things are. Proteins or something.

And I am so done talking about this.

Finals

Finals... suck.

Trying to find a job... sucks. Although I did find a spring position in the Cannon Center for a baker's assistant. I'd help make, decorate, and display the desserts. It's four hours a day, 5 days a week. The pay ain't bad, either. I think that sounds like fun. I hope I can snag it. It's spring only, and that's what I need.

So I can definitely tell I haven't been getting exercise since Wednesday. I don't feel... great. Since I walk to and from campus every day, and I dance a few times a day, I've gotten used to the exercise. But since I've been staying inside the last three days studying, relaxing, etc, I haven't been exercising. I can tell. Maybe I need to go run a mile or two this afternoon, or walk to campus and sell back my books.

This short message break was brought to you by the "Finals Crunch Time" company. Now, get back to work, slacker!

Strangely Optimistic

I just spent the last two hours cleaning my apartment. I haven't had any time at all for the last two weeks to do it, so I did it today! It's so clean! I absolutely love it. I haven't cleaned my room yet, but that can wait for another day. I'm too tired right now.

So I in flip flops and a tee shirt today. Then after taking my last chemistry midterm, I walked back home barefoot. And now, two and a half hours later, it's snowing! How on earth??? I really really hate this. All weekend it was gorgeous. It was actually like almost 80 yesterday, too. And now it's freezing and snowing! Winter is not giving up without a fight. Well, it is still "winter" semester, so I guess it has every right to still be winter. But next Thursday it better be gone for sure.

So, I'm staying for spring semester! I'm very excited. I'm sad that I can't go home and see my family and a few friends that miss me, but I think it'll be good for me to stay. I'm taking an MFHD (Marriage Family and Human Development) class which is a GE and will also count toward my major if that's what I pick. Then I'm taking Social Dance 280 (the intermediate level). So that's four credits there. I should be able to handle that. Then, if Ty finds out that he's running later in the semester, he's going to stay and we're signing up for International Standard Ballroom together. That'll be really nice to take with him because we can practice all the time out of class. It'll take a lot of practice, especially since it's the course squeezed into 7 weeks, so I'm excited to have an official dance partner. I hope that he stays but that's still up in the air. And oh my heck! Rachel is right across the hall from me!!! That's going to be so much fun! We're going to be in the same ward again together, and be really close. Kind of like this semester how my apartment and the apartment across from me was like one apartment. We lived in each other's apartments. I can't wait to do that again :)

Big news! So my dance teacher told me yesterday in class that the BYU Ballroom Company is holding tryouts this spring. And, there's a bigger chance of making it now than ever! There is a Tour team and a backup team, and the backup team is usually in Nauvoo during the summer, but they're not going this year, so both the tour and the backup team are taking dancers! Also, he said a majority of the team is graduating next week, so there's a large number of spots that needs to be filled. I'm going to try out for the company! I'm very excited. I had decided to stay for spring and then found this out! It just was the cherry on top of my day yesterday!

All Creatures of Our God and King

Yesterday was so much fun! I went to church (second to last time with my ward. I am SO sad! I've grown so close with so many people in my ward!) and then Amanda, Ty and I left after Sunday School to go up to Salt Lake. Amanda had to go listen to a guy perform the organ at the Tabernacle for her organ class. It was beautiful! I had never heard the Tabernacle organ used before. The songs were just amazing! I really wish that I can play like that some day! Then after the performance, we ate the sack lunches that Amanda had packed us. It was the best lunch I've had in a long time! We had sandwiches, chips, apples, carrots, fruit leather, chocolate cake things, and a candy bar. Mmm I wish I had more right now. After that we went to both the visitor's centers, and walked around the grounds and took pictures! It was a pretty fun day :) Here are my favorite pictures. The rest are on photobucket.

So it's late and I don't really have time to write. But tonight the date was fantastic! :) Rachel, Alyssa and I all got ready together. Rachel did my hair and I've never seen it look more gorgeous. Then the boys got us, we played mini golf and go karts, and went to the dance. Afterwards we came to my apartment and Tyler made us waffle cones. They were delicious!

Here are some pictures, but go to my photobucket to see them all:

A Joyous Occasion

I have the best weekend to look forward to! Tonight I'm going to a ballroom dance concert with Ty. Then tomorrow afternoon my ward has their closing social at Tucanos! It's so good! Right after that Rachel and I are going dress shopping, then I have a chemistry review to go to, then tomorrow night is the Red Carpet Affair dance! I am SO excited about this dance! It'll be the first time a guy has ever asked me to a dance. I don't know why it's such a big deal, but it is for me. I don't know. Maybe I feel jipped out of a real high school experience or something. I did go to my senior prom, but he didn't ask me I told him I wanted to go. It was... well I won't go into that. So I'm getting a pretty dress, Rachel is doing my hair, and I am going with the perfect guy who wants to go and loves to dance, and we are going to have a perfect night. Oh and on Sunday, Ty, Amanda, and I are going to the Salt Lake Temple to listen to the organ at the tabernacle. Amanda has to listen for her organ class and she invited us along. We're going to have fun, walk around, and take pictures. I can't wait :)

So last night was hectic. Well, actually yesterday was hectic. I was in the library for 5 hours working on a paper, then came home and chilled for a bit, had people over to watch The Office (which was awkwardly hilarious, by the way). Right after that, Ty said he had a surprise so we went to his apartment. He had fingerpaint and canvas for us! So we fingerpainted portraits of each other on canvas. That was way fun! I gave him blue hair, and I had a bright orange shirt and rosy cheeks. So we painted them as a secret, and then when we were done we flipped them over to show each other. For mine, he had painted me, and written "Will you go to the Red Carpet Affair with me?" I was so excited! He had sort of asked me on Monday so I knew we were going, but he wanted to officially ask me.

Mom, I feel like I'm cheating on you. I'm ashamed. I'm eating Pillsbury crescent rolls that I just got out of the oven. I miss your Amber's Rolls. Will you make those and Shepard's Pie the first night I'm home?

I'm so excited for my fun weekend. I deserve it. And I am so relieved and feel accomplished. I turned in my research paper. Whew! The one I've been annoyed about all semester. It's done! I turned it in today! No more worrying!!!

Yahoo!

Two more instructional days. One midterm. Two final tests. One take home essay test. One project. Then I'm home free!

many happy times from the past

Happy five months, honey! Can you believe it? Time has gone so fast. Best few months of my life!

:)

Now I must return to writing a research paper.

ciao.

Things I'm Grateful For

I've learned today and the past few days that I'm really grateful for a lot of things.

I'm grateful for...

...honest people. I've been checking lost and found every day for almost two weeks looking for my dance shoes. I went in today thinking that it was a lost cause, and there they were! I'm grateful for the person(s) who turned them in. Thank you.

...good listeners. If you're having a bad day, a good day, an exciting day, a horrible in the pit of despair day, they are always there to listen and hold your information in confidence. No matter what. Thank you.

...Amanda. We were two of the few people in our building this week, and she kept me company. We had a blast all weekend! I don't think we spent more than a few hours apart the whole time. I love her :)
"I am a Crakin' from the sea!" "Fuket Thailand!" "Geez, Banana, shut your freakin' gob!"

...Wistie. She called me this weekend to check on me. It made me feel loved and I missed her terribly. So I was really happy she called me! I got to tell her about the heater monster that scared me Friday night. My apartment makes weird noises when I'm home alone. Thank you.

...Tylor. There are way too many things to list here as to why I'm grateful for him. I know that it wasn't just a coincidence that I met him. Too many out of the ordinary, odd things had to have happened that led to us meeting each other. He was a big part of me making it through this year. He is the best guy I've ever met and the best boyfriend anyone could have. Plus, not everyone has a personal dance practice partner and chemistry tutor! (He's going to teach me Vienesse Waltz!)

...Rachel. I found out this weekend that we have so much more in common that I ever knew! She is so much fun and as girly as I am! I absolutely adore and love her :) Too bad the year is almost over! But we definitely decided we're going to be like best friends next year.

...Lauren. She's the only one I know who really can relate to my situation and share the same feelings that I have. I love that we can talk about them to each other to make things easier. Plus, she's an awesome roommate and way easy to get along with!

...girl's nights. They make life SO much fun! Boys just can't understand. The Girl's Code of Conduct is an important rule book describing how these things must happen, and chick flicks are essential. Also, sleep comes second to girl talk!

...technology. "Yes, I love technology, but not as much as you, you see. But I still love technology..." Sorry I couldn't resist. Just because technology is like, one of the key things to making life easier.

...my mom. I think she called me like, 50 times this weekend. Not just to bug me, though. We had fun talking. And I was home alone all weekend anyway. She does so much for me.

...singing. I've been really sick for over a week, and haven't been able to sing to my best ability. I really really miss it! You don't realize how much until it's gone :(

...many forms of awkward animals ;)

Me: "This feels different without pants on." (I had on a skirt)

Sunday Conference

I am watching Conference.

I had an amazingly fun girl's night last night. Rachel, Amanda, and I were very mischievous and successfully completed a secret mission. We watched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I had never seen it. We had a sleepover. I slept on the floor in my living room. We talked until 4 in the morning. I felt like I was in middle school again. It was fantastic.

Tylor gets home today!!!!

The end.

Quote of the Day:
"There is good news, the bells are ringing. No one is going to die today!"

Saturday Conference

I got to go to the morning session of General Conference today!!! It was so amazing! I got to be in the congregation and sustain the new First Presidency, the new apostle, and Young Women's presidency. I got to hear the Tabernacle Choir and all the speakers. It was so cool! I'm very glad I got to go. Alyssa called and invited me around 11 PM last night. She had an extra ticket and needed someone to take it. I'm so grateful she called me. I had never been to Conference before.

On a more funny note, something I learned today:

If you believe in Jesus, and if you do good works, you're going to Hell

.......

I actually think it's funny when the protesters try to tell me what I believe. They are so wrong. All I could do is laugh and walk away.

Quote of the Day:
Me:"Oh crap! I ran into a pole again!"

Are You Smarter Than a 6th Grader?

So on campus today there are some elementary school kids walking around trying to raise money. They're selling cookies, pretzels, ice cream sandwiches, and those kind of things. So there was this one booth, and it was an Are You Smarter Than a 6th Grader game. I was like, Psh I can so take him. So I went up and a guy had a video camera. The rules were I had to raise my hand before the boy, and answer 2 out of 3 correctly. So the first question was, "What force causes a compass to point north?" And the boy raised his hand first and got it right (it's magnetism, by the way). Then the second question was, "How many years is one term in the Senate?" We raised our hands at the same time, but he picked on me. I said, "Four! No, six!" And they were nice and gave it to me. I really do know that it's six. Then the last question was, well, I don't even remember. It was something like, "Which most closely describes a set of stairs? A) Sloped plane B) Angled something or other or C) Wedge." I will admit I had no clue so I didn't even raise my hand. The boy raised his hand and knew the answer, which was sloped plane. Then, after everyone had cheered, I had to look right in the camera and say, "Hi, I'm Allison, and I am not smarter than a 6th grader."

How degrading.

Quote of the Day:
Mr. Rogers: "So, Collette has arrived on the fancy, *beep*-ing trolley.

Juno: "Geez, Banana, shut your freakin' gob!"

Juno: "I am a Crakin from the sea!"

Amanda: "I think I put too much of your only spice in it."
Me: "What's my only spice?"
Amanda: "Onion salt."
Me: "Oh, crap."

Just another Thursday.

So I was on campus yesterday and there was some event going on, like there always is. I was looking around and saw a huge pile of hula hoops. I love to hula hoop, I thought to myself. So I went over there. And I don't like to hula with only one, oh no. I picked up all the big ones and did them at once. After the first time a bunch of people started clapping for me and yelling, "Do it again! More!" It was awesome. When I'm on a roll I can even start with one and add them on one at a time as I'm going.




Funny occurrence. I put my PJs on last night and walked into the bathroom where Wistie was. We saw each other and just stood there and stared for like 5 seconds. Then we both started laughing. We had the same shirt on and lime green PJ pants. We were twins. it was really funny.



Disappointment major. I just checked the lost and found again, and they still don't have my dance shoes. Now I'm really starting to panic. Why wouldn't they have gotten them yet? BYU students can be divided into three different categories. First, those who don't know what ballroom shoes are, so they would think they were old, worn, and ugly gold. Who would want ugly, used shoes? Second, the people who do know what they are and know that they are very special and that the owner would be looking for them. And third, the tiny fraction of dishonest people who know what they are and think they could sell them on eBay or something. I don't know. I just really want my shoes back :( Okay, I'm an optimistic person. Let's see... if I don't find them, I can get new ones that fit me better. I do wish my shoes were a 3 instead of 3.5 Mine were a little big.

So there is a fair in the ballroom today with all the majors from the College of Family Home and Social Sciences. I walked around and think I'll go back and talk to a few of the students from MFHD. Ask them about the major, see how they like it, what careers they're going into.

I saw a guy on campus today wearing a pink shirt that says "Girls Rule."
...
Scary.

Ty said something really funny yesterday while watching American Idol. "She's wearing an anal bum cover!"

I just got home from talking with a career counselor. Last week I took a test that tells me certain areas I'd be interested in, and suggestions of careers that go along with it. I'm definitely not surprised with the results. Disappointed? Maybe. I kind of went and wanted him to tell me what to do, which is stupid because I know that isn't what he is supposed to do. But I still don't know what I want to do. Oh and I officially changed my major to an open major. Now I'll stop getting annoying emails from the nursing program people.

There is Beauty All Around

I am the luckiest girl in the whole entire world. Why? Because I have the best boyfriend that ever existed! I still can't believe that he's real sometimes. Guess what he did this time. I was really sick yesterday and still feel kinda crappy today. So he knew I wasn't feeling well, so yesterday evening he surprised me by showing up with the most absolutely gorgeous bouquet of flowers I've ever seen in my life! And he had a basket with a really soft, fuzzy, purple blanket, some awesome fuzzy socks, a cat stuffed animal, a squishy pillow, cans of soup, and two movies- The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Sense and Sensibility. I'm so excited to watch them! I've never seen Sense and Sensibility before. He is so thoughtful. He said it was all the necessities for someone who's sick. That boy treats me too good. I told him that, and he just replied, "I treat you how you deserve to be treated." I know! So I guess he took the stuff to FHE and got help arranging it all nice in the basket. Wistie told me all the girls were completely jealous and told Ty that he needs to start a boyfriend school. Haha that made me laugh :) He would have a very successful school, though. Seriously, it's like that boy just walked right out of a chick flick. Oh my gosh I'm completely head over heels for this kid.

So I wrote a paper for my nursing class this morning. My teacher let me email it to her since I'm not going to class. To be honest, it couldn't be better timing. Today a guest speaker is coming in teaching the class how to apply for the program, what steps to go through, how to prepare, etc. Since I'm not applying, I'm so glad I don't have to waste two hours sitting through it. I was just going to bring my computer and play Solitaire, but just staying home is way more convenient.

So, I'm still really tired. I think I'll take another nap.

Quote of the Day:
"Ted, while I agree that in time our band will be most triumphant, the truth is, Wyld Stallyns will never be a super band until we have Eddie Van Halen on guitar."
"Yes, Bill, but I do not believe we will get Eddie Van Halen until we have a triumphant video."
"Ted, it’s pointless to have a triumphant video before we even have decent instruments."
"Well, how can we have decent instruments when we don’t even really know how to play?"
"That is why we need Eddie Van Halen!"
"And that is why we need a triumphant video!"
"Excellent!"
