tests and trumpets




I'm just hanging out with Harold (as in Harold B Lee Library) and decided that perhaps I could post again on my blog and express my feelings about life, or complain or maybe just discuss life.

I'm a sophomore now and life is hard. Actually life isn't hard, classes are hard, no not classes, just tests. The times I spend in the testing center are probably the most complicated hours of my life. I have to use my backup brain when I go into that beautiful building. What an oxymoron, seriously. I think that the Grant Testing Center is one of the most elegant buildings on campus, it's one of the older buildings so it has a nice authentic look to it. I especially love the windows they are gorgeous. However I dread going into that building only because I know that every time I go into that building I'm going to come out with a different GPA, either higher or lower but usually it seems like lower. Ok ok so not every test I take is going to affect my overall GPA but sometimes it feels like that as I sit on the small desks with a thick test and strain to get the answer right. A B C D or E replays over and over in my head. Makes me wonder if the other 21 letters of the alphabet feel left out because they are not used on the bubble sheet. I would if I were them.

Enough about tests. Everything else in my college career is going splendidly. The marching band is wonderful. I love going to the games and being extra loud and playing the fight song over and over. goooo cougars! At rehearsal and during the long hours we practice sometimes I don't like band and get tired of it, but it all pays off when I'm down on the field playing for hundreds of people and bringing an extra zing of school spirit.

The social part of college life is just delightful. I love playing with my roommates,hanging out with other ward members (especially those of the male variety) and just living the college dream. Actually I'm not sure exactly what the college dream is but I like my own interpretation of it.

well that's all for now folks!

It's a Party at the BYU!

Hola friends! Beginning June 21st I have been attending Brigham Young University in Provo Utah. Currently majoring in Communications. I love BYU and everyone here. The best part of living in the hot dry desert commonly known as Utah, is that I get to see my non-Washington family at least every other day. It is so neat to be with them all the time, we go on crazy adventures and always create memories. The most recent activity I have participated in was, the worlds largest water balloon fight! We got free t-shirts and threw water balloons at everyone. Our clothes were drenched, but it's so hot here that the water soon evaporated off of our clothes and we were dry once again. My roommates are amazing and we always find time to laugh, and not do dishes. Maren and I do so much together that when we are apart we get worried about the other one and has to call them to make sure they are okay.

Ain't nothin finer in the land, then the mighty Cougar Marching Band

Fall is here and with it a new semester and marching band! I spent the week before school marching and practicing 11 hours a day. I was swamped with new music and new ways to march, > but I survived band camp and lived to see our first home game, BYU vs UW. It was very nerve-breaking to march out onto a field surrounded by a packed stadium, but all went well and I didn't faint due to heat exhaustion, th ough it was quite hot and I was wearing a wool uniform. The band is quite exhilarating and I'm always meeting new people or learning new things. The new semester is also going well, I'm trying to keep up in all my classes as my homework time competes with my marching band time. My favorite class is Book of Mormon, I love discovering new insights when I read.

Craft attempt

Well, I've decided to maybe actually start keeping a real blog, because actually I do the funniest/stupidest things and I think that other people should be able to laugh or learn from my mistakes. Mostly ever since getting married in August and also graduating from college I've tried to become more responsible and more mature....has that happened? No, but at least I am trying. Sometimes I cook dinner, sometimes it doesn't turn out. I think I could make a tv show about myself and call it hopeless wife.  So on that track let me tell you about my failed craft attempt today. Back story, I am actually really bad at art, I don't have patience, and I just don't have the eye and hand coordination to make anything look good. I would rather do things really fast then spend a long time trying to figure out what colors and shapes look good together. Our apartment right now is pretty barren because I don't have cutesy picture frames or decorations that I made to make it look...
