21. Evaluation

I am glad for this assignment. At first, I thought that it would be burdensome and long but I found that I liked writing these blogs. There were just days where my blog came in handy for me to expel some of the things that were floating around in my head, and I found that I expressed myself. After writing these blogs, I feel like my life is a little more organized in my head, and that I have a place to expel feelings and things that are just stuck in my head. I hope that my blog has helped others in some small way. I also hope that I provided some entertainment. I am going to try and plan and write more blogs and use it more as a open journal. Thanks Sis. Steadman!

20. The End of the Semester

The end is coming. Not of the world. I don't believe in the end of the world coming in 2012. Please, that's just the end of the Mayan Calendar. No one should ever be able to predict the end of the world. Anyway, the end is near for us. This is semester is ending quite soon. All there is after this last week is finals. I shudder at that word. But this is the end of the old, and the end of the Freshman Academy that everyone has come to love and enjoy. This is the end to eight o'clock chemistry everyday. This is the end of seeing the familiar faces everyday. This is the end of the semester. I didn't realize how fast it was coming to an end. But I am glad that I chose to come to BYU. I am glad to have met all of those who have helped me through the semester with tests, and with homework. I look forward to the incoming semester and for the much needed break that will becoming next week. Good luck to all on your finals. And have a very Merry Christmas!

19. Drive

Outside there is much snow. And many people from out of state have never seen this wonderful, fluffy, white stuff that falls from the sky. I'm lucky, I have lived in Idaho my entire life, and I have seen plenty of snow. I am also a very fortunate person, that I get a ride to school every morning. But this morning was very a very different morning from the rest that we've had this past school year. There was at least a foot of snow on the ground and none of my friends, who both happen to be guys, have no idea how to handle their vehicles with this much snow, especially the one friend from Southern California. So they both turned to me, and they asked me to drive them to school. What a change in events. Most guys would not allow a girl to drive their car, no matter what the situation. But in this case, these two guy friends of mine, allowed their female, and not to mention Asian, friend drive them through the snow.

18. Music

Has there ever been a song in your head? One that you might now particularly like, but one you've heard recently and it just won't leave? Well, I have. It's rather obnoxious. This morning, I had a Celion Dion song stuck in my head. Not a good choice for the early morning and with classes to begin in a short matter of time. I did the only thing that I could think of and plugged in my iPod and listened to the first song that came on. And luckily that helped with the struggle to relieve my head of unwanted music. And I carried on my day without any good music, just the random thoughts in my head. Hopefully, I have just given you a remedy to that song that gets stuck in your head.

17. More Snow

As I woke up again this fine morning, I looked out to see even more snow. This has to be one of the best days that I have had down here in Provo. I love the snow and the forecast for the rest of the week says that there will be snow for the next two days and then a relief. I don't care so much about the stopping of snow. I just love the snow. The even better part of snow, is that Sundance got tons and tons of snow. It will be perfect for its opening on Dec. 11. Just in time for finals. So I don't know if I will get the chance to go boarding this fine week. Hopefully all will go well with my finals and maybe get a chance to go boarding before I head for home for the holidays.

16. Finally!

As always, I slept in on Sunday morning. It's a good thing that I don't have church until two in the afternoon, or I would almost always be late for church. But this morning when I woke, I looked outside and I saw the most amazing sight. It was snowing! Finally! I have been waiting for this weather for ages. I love the snow, not so much the cold, but I can deal with the cold. Finally, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. The snow always makes me want to put on the Christmas music and sing all the good Christmas music. Which is what I am doing right now. Thank goodness for snow and the beauty that it brings to the world. I do feel bad for the people from warm climates that move to Utah. They aren't used to this white Christmas, and some haven't even seen the snow. Oh well, it's too bad for them. I am glad that the snow is finally here.

15. Thanksgiving Break

I love no school. I was so glad that we had Thanksgiving break. I went home to the great land of Burley, Idaho. I missed the fields and the wide open spaces. I missed my dogs and of course my family. They were equally thankful that I was able to come home and spend about six days with them. That's the longest I'd been home since I moved down to Provo. There was so much food! My mom is the best cook in the entire world. I was so tired of making things for myself, which usually ended up in cold cereal or maybe a sandwich. But when I went home, I was treated like a queen. They fed me every meal and had never been so full, happy and so very tired. I even saw some of my old friends. I was greeted with open arms and welcomed home. Going to my home ward was an experience. All the people in the ward swarmed around me, and they all asked questions like, "How is the Y?" "How are your classes?" "Got a boyfriend yet?" I grew very weary of all the questions, so going home and being alone was nice. But being back in Provo, is a different feeling altogether. It is a feeling of being independent. But truly, I think I'd rather be back in Burley, with my family, even if it is for a short visit.

14. One Weekend

Alright, I thought this through and I am going to tell you all about an experience that I had a couple of weekends ago. Thursday morning at 12:10, I went and saw "New Moon" and I was out till 3 AM. "Lovely," I thought, "I get to have three hours of sleep and then wake up and go to eight o'clock class." And I did just that. Then Friday after I finished up my classes at one that afternoon, I took a three hour nap, I woke up and went over to my friend's place, where she had asked me to help her get ready for her date, which I did help her. She happily went out on her date promptly at seven o'clock that evening. Remember, seven o'clock pm, it's important. My other friend was a work until 11 and so I went back to my apartment and did some mindless things until my friend returned home from work. When she did come home from work, we popped in "He Just Not Into You" and my friend and I fell asleep within the first twenty minutes. I slept till one thirty am and woke up to see if my other friend had returned home from her date, I discovered that she had not, and I freaked out, and then went back to sleep. Then then my friend's (the one I was watching the movie with) roommate came in and woke me up at two thirty am, and she said that my friend on a date had not come home yet. So at that point I went back to my apartment to sleep in my nice warm bed. I was woken up once again at four forty-five am, to my phone ringing. It was none other than my friend who had been on a date, she needed a place to stay since she didn't have her key and she was locked out. I let her in and then we both went to sleep.
It was the worst night for sleep in the entire world. When I added up all the sleep that I got, I got about twelve and a half hours, but it was not good sleep. So all of Saturday, I was the grouchiest person in the entire world. All thanks to my friend!

13. The final

I am actually pretty pumped for this final. It's a test that I don't need to study so much for. I just need that outline and to showcase what I learned in Eng 150. Way easy in my opinion. People back home have told me that I do an excellent job of doing speeches and performing. That may seem hard to believe but I kind of enjoy it too. The hard part of the final is picking something to tell everyone that I learned. Maybe I will pick how to write a thesis. I don't know, I'm a bit clueless as to what to pick. Oh well, I do have a week to figure it out. I hope I figure it out so that I can make it very humorous. I love to make people laugh. That way, it doesn't matter if you make a fool of yourself.

12. Personal Narrative

I did enjoy writing the personal narrative. It's kind of fun to look back on some of the things that you've done and look at them in a new light. In my narrative, I realized that my mom was right in having me switch schools. It's been a great experience for me to graduate with people who love me for me and they are still my friends today. However, I wish that I could still write a narrative that has nothing to do with a moral. Just a story that makes people laugh. Maybe I should become a children's book writer. I don't know, that sounds pretty good right now since I have to take so many biology courses just to get the career that I want. Anyway, I did enjoy reading other people's blogs with their personal narratives on it. It opened up a chance for me to see what made you, you. Every narrative I read was well written and I wish I had tried harder to know you. Keep up the good writing!
