my weekend.

Saturday we had a ward service project for the people the people in Haiti and Chile.
Alot of people showed up so it went super quick.
My roommates and I were trying to round people up to hang out later that night...
but then I ran into Stenven and he said something about night skiing.
I got some candy and made a quick picture for this really great girl's birthday.


The picture... ^^^

So I rented a board from the ORC and got a lift ticket online and by 4:30 pm we were off to Kelly Cannon. I was really nervous to go because the only other time I've been was a little over two years ago. It was super fun though!!! I'm a little afraid of picking up to much speed so my board was horizontal most of the time and my thigh muscels were killing me by the end. After snow boarding we went to Cragio's!!!





I had fun talking to my roommates for a bit and then went to bed fairly soon...at least I think I did...

Sunday I had church and that was SUPER!!!
After church my visiting teachers came. With the pressing matter of teaching my first discussion at 2pm... I was going a kinda crazy even more so because I hadn't prepped for the lesson yet.
After my visiting teachers came I rushed back over to the Snow building to meet Ryan and Paul to go over what we were teaching.
So Jessie and Brittany came... and I only had ten minutes to plan.
We taught the first lesson to them which was about the restoration.
It went alot better than I thought it would and Paul Ryan and I all had something great to offer to the lesson.
As I walked home I remembered how much I had wanted to serve a mission.
Perhaps it really is a far off thing.. so that may be in the works soon.
If nothing stops me then I'm going to go... although it still could be a very long time coming.
Later on some great people came over and we had a different kind of tacos! They were fantastic!!!
Oh and this kid from my home town came and it was great to catch up.. or really just hear about him because I was never really his friend before.
So ya know..Sunday was great and filled with typical Sunday activities.
At some point on Sunday Ryan and I had dicussed going to Targee.
So this morning I went and it was so sweet. Targee was my 3rd time going. I've never really had some one teach me and Ryan was a great teacher. I totally ate some powder and learned how to carve.

a crazy couple of weeks.

Why yes school is kicking my trash.
I've been spending a lot of time on campus just trying to get the basics done :/.

Allow me to catch you up on my life.





I have great roomies, no really... I really lucked out with them. They can be really distracting though because they are all so entertaining.
My roomies are: Ashla, Chelsea, Erin, Jessica, And Kimber!!!

So I've been spending more time studying at the Snow building and at the cross roads.



I had some friends over and made pizzas this kid Daniel Peterson let me borrow his glasses... and now I know I need glasses in fact I did get my eyes checked yesterday and yup.... I picked out frames and the lenses for them will be ready towards the begining of next week!



Let's see so my actual only real day of rest is Sunday. Last Sunday I made a fort and it was great. My roomies loved it as well!!!

** Disclaimer ample fun ahead & these frames aren't mine.. thier Daniel's mine are gonna be sweet!!***







Hmm also on Sunday I made desserts for my friends that they all liked them annnd I taught Chelsea Bloomquist and Daniel Peterson to paint ...sorta. It's been fun having people over and having good clean fun, cause that is how I roll.

( ^_^_^_^I made this but uhh ... it isn't wonderful, but I'm planing on working on stuff this weekend! ^^^^)





(^^made this for Daniel Peterson because he loves swing dance so much and it was a good stress reliever to make^^)

So...I've been trying really hard to NOT write on myself
...it is pretty hard. It is different being in an LDS enviorment and having people comment on you not treating your bodice like a temple. Anywhoo, I bought groceries yesterday and drew faces on most of what I bought, good news is I did not write on my self!

The better news is that I have happy food that brings smiles to people's faces.

Hmm what else is there to say?

So I have this class it is called art seminar. You have to take it for four semesters I believe.
I'm on my second semester. There was this guy that came and he talked about how he graduated from here in 2007 and then took his old art teachers job. I don't know if I would want to be in a school I use to go to, school wasn't a pleasant experience. For about 4 to 5-ish years now I've harbored a desire to teach art. It'll be good that I have to take education classes that way I can see myself being cut out for it. I think my determination to do it will help me over come my shortComings. I really enjoy helping others to learn. The art he showed for his high students were not as good as I was in high school.. maybe that sounds like I'm full of myself... but I swear I'm not. It's just nice to have something to compare to because I have yet to take an art class in years and it is nice to find some form of critique. I feel like alot of my past experiences have helped prep me to be a better art teacher... Which came to mind when he said that Heavenly Father already knew he was going to be an art teacher. Am I suppose to be.. well after last night it made me feel like I wanted it more. I was going to ask him a question but the lady in front was taking forever and I had to get some where. Lame saucey.. so ::shrug:: we'll see!
I've learned more recently of the high-horses people ride on.
Yes I get it people think they are the shiz... and maybe they are... possibly not.
I think it is a bit messed up that people invest time in you for a while and then suddenly don't. People pass judement so quickly and some people I've met are amazing! I love that good out weighs the bad :).
And well ya know if there is anything I've learned lately...
ya know uhh.. Don't keep all your eggs in one basket they'll brake (well actually I have raised chicken and thier egg shells are pretty strong unless they're a N00B when it comes to laying but still...)

decide to not allow discouragement and disapointment keep you from the sunlight of truth and cloud your self worth ...
oh and Life most certainly always goes on and if you're doing you're best the new twist to your life is better than ya thought :).
So... yep... I may have missed something but I'll prolly post next week still.

Anticipation of my old lap top charging.

My older lap top's cord had issues time and time again.
The pin that holds the part that holds the end of the cord in is lose once again.

I was doing math at the library and thinking about the gigs upon gigs of music I'd love to switch out onto my Ipod.

This song is one of my favos


Enjoy it, I know I do.

*Just as a side note school is kicking my trash but I've been trying.
*I'm suppose to be teaching a lesson for my missionary prep class.
*I have a blind date tomorrow.
*My friend Nate comes home from his mission in a couple of days...yes...days..not years, or months..or even weeks. It's crazy. The distance did change alot and we don't talk a lot anymore but it'll be nice to have my friend to talk to in person again.
*I've been trying to do swing dancing. I took it thinking that it wouldn't be a big deal annnd that it was a easy choice..and now that I'm not so great I've been going about weekly to get better.
*I am amazed in many ways in my life right now. Faith, the good of people, the fact that my life does go on, the fact that I meet people that amaze me more and more every day.

my room.






It's hard for me to study on an empty stomach and a dirty room.

Here's my half of the room.

I recently did the little clay face, it's suppose to be my roomie it's only the seoncd one I've done but it is decent. I also have recetly for fun did the yellow and blue spray paint thingy and the weird tiger thing... I sort of think it's ugly but then again I still like it.

Now all I need to do is eat and I can get back to studying, mid-terms week is coming up.
Study study study.
