Arisotle vs....Mashy Spike Plate!

Okay. I am very bad at dedicated blogging. I just feel like im saying the same things over and over.But Ill try to post more. They just may be short posts.

So it's pretty much been a month since I posted. Ill just try to recap what happened last month to the best of my memory.
I got the same job I had last summer, doing summer conferencing. So that's good. The pay is...decent, but it has free housing so that's a good perk. I just am kinda bound to the campus.

We had our huge "Galaxy of Wishes" make a wish fundraiser on the 9th. By we, I mean the make a wish foundation invited the 501st. It was a really fun night, I got to wander around the Clark Planetarium in my armor. Lot of rich drunk people were there. It was interesting.

My family visited for a week, and I was able to visit my grandpa and that side of my family and show off my costumes. It made me really happy because they were really into it and proud of me. I was worried they'd laugh or think i was a freak.

I stayed at a Hotel with my mom/brothers for a couple days, here in SLC. It was nice to just hang out and spend time with them again. It was sad to see them go but I'm glad we got to spend some time together. I do miss them.

Let's see...what else...That's pretty much the big things....
Oh, there was the MS walk last saturday, I walked it in my armor with my garrison...but my socks were not chosen well. I got blisters. It killed. But it was a good time.
Random Pic we took with a family. The rain looks neat.


My finals are this week...two are over so far, and I feel like I did pretty well on one...no clue on the other....and I just have a third, final, hardest one to do on Thursday.

Tomorrow I get to drive to Ogden to get a cavity filled....stupid Molar....It doesn't hurt, and I can't see it. If I hadn't happened to be using my finger to clean my teeth, I never would've felt the MASSIVE HOLE IN MY TOOTH.
It sucks...and it's going to cost a lot to fix....
But such is life.

Once finals are done, I have a week before my job starts to enjoy my apartment all to myself...and clean it.
And then its JOB TIME.

Ahhh, also. I got to join a D&D campaign that takes place online. ((Yes, I'm a nerd. If you guys hadn't realized that before...well that's just sad)).
I've only done one session but its been a lot of fun.

There's a recap one of the players wrote, if you wanna check it out. I look forward to playing more.

Are you touching me ghost?

Good weekend. Got to spend it with Devin who came down for a friendly visit.
I was able to go out to dinner with my 501st friends which is always a blast. I think we torment the waitresses a lot....they always give us dirty looks...To be fair, we are laughing very loudly at very crude things.
Speaking of 501st, I got the Spec Ops sixth anniversary challenge coin/patches! Yay for swag!
I really like challenge coins. Not sure why. But it makes me proud to hold one. I am a nerd!

So, Devin and I watched a lot of Ghost Adventures and played a lot of Wii tennis...and then he played a lot of wii basketball which was entertaining to watch. I do like hanging out with him, but we always seem to get sick or feel dead after.
Dance class was good today. I was having a hard time, but the instructor basically told me I'm more or less doing it right, but its hard when you have to do it with a partner. I dunno. It was just a fun class today. Cheered me up. And I'm not TOO tired today, which is weird cus i only slept 7 hours. Maybe that's a good amount for me? Or maybe its because devin and I slept in a lot? Meh.

Reapplied for the summer job I had last summer. Conference coordinator. I'm hoping I get it again for a couple reasons. One, I enjoyed it last year. Two...I'm going to be screwed for a job/place to live if not. So here's hoping. Provided I do get it and everything works out, then I just need to figure out housing for next year, and a job. But I have at least 2 weeks to put off thinking about that!

There was more I wanted to type about. But the teacher lecturing is distracting me from the far more important blogging. 

So, Stephen Colbert sang "Friday" as part of a fundraiser.
Here's the song

You should listen and enjoy.

I've gotta get my tax forms from the IRS sometime in order to complete the financial aid process....but I really don't want to go down to the IRS office til AFTER tax day...Because I'm lazy and don't like to deal with people/hassles/driving.

I really do hate driving.
I suck at it. And almost kill myself/others far too often.

So I don't remember if I said, but my other job ended so for the time being, I'm jobless. I feel kinda bad because I didn't end up doing a lot of what I had set out to do. Not just because im lazy, mostly because the professor just never GAVE me things to do. He said he'd get back to me and I'd do X and Y but...He never did. I'm hoping I wasn't just supposed to...figure it out on my own or whatnot and now he's mad at me? I haven't talked to him in a while, he's hard to get ahold of. Ah well. The other problem is, he's also the guy I have to work with to get my human factors certificate...another thing we were supposed to talk about but he hasn't gotten back to me on...

Just another one of those things I've been putting off because Im nervous/lazy. I just need to get on all this...sort out my life. Being an adult is hard.
Yet, I still don't feel like an adult. I just feel like a kid living on my own.

Meh. I'm still in a good mood....and I'll probably put this all off for a while longer anyway.

In other news, In Super Smash BrosBrawl, I'm really getting to like Zero Suit Samus.

A Sandwich with words?

It's been a while. Interesting couple of weeks. Overall, just a lot of school and work as usual. And Dragon Age II...came out last tuesday, beat it in a week, 40 hours....It was good overall, a few complaints, but still good.

So I had two tests last week that I felt like I did AWFUL on. I studied a lot ((for me anyway)) but still felt unprepared...They are both short answers, no multiple choice, so I'm out of my element.
Well, I just got grades back from them...I got 94 and 95 out of 100 on them. The 94 wasn't curved at all. I just got the test back and EVERY question I guessed on, I somehow got right....I really don't know how, but I won't question it. The 95...I left a LOT blank. It shouldn't be POSSIBLE for me to have scored that high, but I'm not going to question it. I'm just grateful for this spot of luck.

Spring Break is next week, and everyone keeps asking me what I'm going to do. So far my plans include sitting at home. And that's it.

This semester is almost out...its crazy. I only have 21 more credit hours before I graduate....I have no idea where I'm going after that....Life is coming up on me fast.

I dunno why but today seems like its gonna be a Great Day

Actually it WAS a great day. Last day of my beginner fencing class. I still suck, but on thursday I start....INTERMEDIATE FENCING. Dun dun dunnnn

And after that is when the really nice part of my day occured. I got to hang out with someone new, and we had a mini picnic at the park, fed ducks, played Zombies!!! and  just talked and asked each other questions for about...7 hours. It was really nice. I haven't smiled that much in a while.


Playing GTA with devin now, in a public match, and just meeting some crazy people who are a lot of fun to drive around and cause mayhem with. I'm drinking some grape koolaid and eating cashews. I feel content.

Am I a pretty girl?

So, haven't posted in a while. Nothing really happened until this weekend....

On saturday, I got to go to a Murder mystery dinner with my 501st friends....except there weren't enough 'male' characters to play...so guess who got cast as the slutty one?
Yep. That's me. Thanks to Lauren for dressing me up and doing my makeup and Nikki for letting me borrow the wig.
Besides the fact that I couldn't find women's shoes in my size and the dress was a bit small, not that uncomfortable. And I don't think I look TOO bad.
The dinner was a ton of fun. Good food, and we were laughing like crazy.

After that, I came home and Lauren, Devin and I stayed up til almost 5 am just being crazy and wandering around upper campus or talking. Then, we woke up this morning...well, afternoon, and went to IHOP for all you can eat pancakes.

Following that we went to petsmart and played with adorable cats that we fell in love with and really wanna adopt...except none of our current abodes allows pets....
I got to work on Swampy a bit today, and resubmit approval pics. If I'm lucky, I may be an official 501st member within the next couple of weeks. Here's hoping!

That's really all that's new. Besides that its just the usual day by day humdrum.

Lights off!

Got a letter from Ryan today! Yay. So hopefully I'll get my reply out soon.

These last few days have been interesting. I have eaten nothing but junk food and It's starting to show. I'm not feeling too great. I was gonna go shopping on Friday, when I SHOULD have gotten paid...but I didn't, so I'm waiting til tomorrow...So I've been living off all the stockpiled chips, cookies, and assorted sugar products I've had around.


Not looking forward to tomorrow...I have a test in one of my classes that is all essay questions....and the 'study guide' the professor gave us is worthless and confusing. So that'll be fun.
And...I don't wanna go to Ballroom...Every time I think about it I feel sick to my stomach.

Still trying to figure out this summer job/living wise. Also fun.

Today was the superbowl....and what have I done today? Well, I've sat on my computer being bored, half halfheartedly playing video games, and eaten junk food. I had hoped for something to do tonight but....plans fell through.
Look at what I drew. Yay. I'm clever. hahah. Eventually I'm gonna make a Ronald Raygun that'll look similar...

I put it up on zazzle...they STILL haven't fixed the store. I keep emailing them and they just reply "we don't know when the problem will be resolved'.....so until then the store is confusing to navigate....though I get the feeling most people aren't navigating the store so much as searching for keywords. *shrug*



Can't remember if I mentioned this on here before, but I really wanna do a L4D 'poster' photoshoot.

Okay. I've sat here for ten minutes just now, and still can't think of anything to write, so I'm gonna go.
