My hit list:
1) Research paper
2) Crappy winter weather in the spring
3) Nomadic tribes chasing caribou
4) Biochemistry
5) My old American Heritage professor. I think I should sue because of traumatic mental stress.

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 ;)

Amanda: "I'm just talking mushrooms."
and
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.

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.

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 should still be in bed
Uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhggg. <--- Me. Why am I at school?
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.
My highest occupational themes:
Artistic
Social
Here are my top 5 interest areas:
1) Performing Arts (duh.)
2) Culinary Arts (another duh.)
3) Writing & Mass Communication (hmm...)
4) Religion & Spirituality (well, i do like my religion classes)
5) Counseling & Helping (my favorite and what i'm leaning toward the most)
Areas of Least Interest:
1) Entrepreneurship (gosh i can barely spell it. seriously i had to backspace and look back at the paper like 50 times)
2) Finance & Investing (boring.)
3) Research (ew)
Aaaand Top 10 Occupation suggestions. Not really too happy...
1) Musician
2) Photographer
3) Broadcast Journalist
4) Chef
5) Librarian
6) Flight Attendant
7) Licensed Practical Nurse
8) Top Executive
9) Speech Pathologist (i bet my mom is jumping with excitement.)
10) Translator (the only one i am considering)
Least compatible occupations:
1) Athletic Trainer
2) Vocational Agriculture Teacher
3) Physical Education Teacher
4) Sociologist
5) Mathmatician
Oh yeah I found my camera, it was in Amber's car, so I took pictures of my pretty flowers :)
Quote of the Day:
Me: About MSN messenger when I lost my voice: "I like this form of communication. You can understand me."
Amanda: "or at least hear at a level not only heard by dongs."
and
Ty: "I don't say, 'Come.' I drag, wrap, and sit."
and
Ty: "Why are girl penguins fat? Aren't they bulimic?"

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!"
