I guess it was bound to happen sometime. I have always had great luck with roommates- I guess I just got lucky!! I would always listen to other people complain about their crazy roomies and the things they do, but generally, mine have been the cream of the crop! This summer I moved down to Provo and instead of my OWN bedroom which I have had the pleasure of enjoying the past 2 years I decided I could share. Its cheaper, and I will really never be home except to sleep. Now, dont get me wrong, my roommate is a very nice girl just totally inconsiderate. Here is my list of bothersome things she does-
Flips the light on in the morning when she is gettting ready. HI!! Its like 7 in the morning and the sun is already blaring in here. You do not, I repeat DO NOT need the light on now, you can see everything very clearly.
While we are on the subject, she likes to open the blinds!! NOT necessary!! Because remember, she can already see as much as she needs to!
Saturday morning I wake up to her typing away on her laptop. LAPTOP= PORTABLE!!!! Does she not get this? She was just sitting up in her bed typing away at something! Morning- yes, you!!! Nobody is in the front room, why dont you take your laptop in there and type to your hearts content where nobody is sleeping?!
Oh yes, one more thing- the other day I took a quick power nap before work. She came in, turned the light on, saw I was asleep and turned it off (wow, amazing she could do it then but not in the morning) and sits on her bed to play solitare!! SOLITARE!! Once again, take it to the front room!! Where people are not sleeping! And she leaves the door to our bedroom wide open so then I can hear every conversation going on in the front room.
As you can see im quite annoyed. She honestly just doesnt even notice she does these things. I dont get it, I really dont. But im glad I could get it off my chest to share with you fine people!

TAGGED!!!
My friend Kristen tagged me so I guess its time to go! I needed a new blog post anyway, so here goes!!!
Three Tag...You have to write down 3 of each: joys, fears, goals, current obsessions, & random facts.
3 joys: Family, Food, Friends (ha ha ha, the 3 F's)
3 fears: Some of these might make me sound VERY shallow, but you asked, and I dont mean them to be that way.. Ok, one would be that I am afraid of having a handicapped child more because I would be scared I would mess up giving them all the care they need!! Not because I dont like handicapped people, next would be my Mom dying unexpectedly, and another is teaching? I really am excited to teach, but it is a fear of mine. Someday (which is rapidly approaching...) I will be the teacher and the one in charge an its kinda intimidating and scary!! But I am excited too!!
3 current obsessions: Zack Pugh, The Bachelorette, Ice cream...
3 random facts: I am addicted to WAY more TV than I would ever admit to, I am actually a very sensitive person, and I have not developed film in probably 2 years!

Hiking the Y


We wasted no time!! Zack was so happy that I was finally in Provo he decided we should hike the Y since it is a right of passage down here. Ok, so not really, we just thought it would be fun!! It was a perfect night for the hike and wasnt too bad!! It's a bit steep but a good hike! I cant believe I sat on top of that thing! It is pretty sweet to be able to look at it on the mountain and know I have been there. It was a great night! Here are some pictures of it! The white paint stuff in the one picture is us on the Y if you can't tell! He is trying his best to make me be a Cougar. My Dad would be so proud!

Explanation of the Absense...
Sorry it has been awhile since my last post. I know, my life is just SO DANG EXCITING you all missed reading about my life!! Well, you can all relax I am back. My apologies for not blogging for a bit, I know how annoying it is why the people you 'check up on' dont ever post. My first reason for not posting is that I moved!! I am officially in Provo, finals are over and life is good. I also started my job working at The Brick Oven and things seem to be going well. I like it. So what with the move from Logan to Provo and starting a new job, I have been a bit busy!
The second reason, and perhaps a better one is because my laptop (pictured above) had to go to the doctor. It has acutally been giving me issues since December 26th last year, but me being the ultra lazy person I am, decided I couldnt part from it so I never took it in to get fixed. FINALLY on finals week I decided to take it in to be repaired. I figured it would be good so I would avoid playing online when I should be studying. The problem was with the LCD screen. When it was open, the screen and colors were all warped and not as they should be. Everything worked fine, it just loooked odd. So, now I am seeing in correct colors and I am very happy about it. It's SO NICE to have it back!! I dont think I realized how obsessed with my computer I was until I had to be without it for 2 whole weeks!

In it to win it!

Ok, so not really. More in it to cross the finish line within 6 hours. Which I think I can definitely do. I have always wanted to run a marathon and today I think I got myself one step closer to that goal!! I finally registered for the Top of Utah half-marathon. I decided to go with just 13 because im pretty out of shape and 13 seems at least do-able and that will give me a good indication if I can do the full 26.2 im thinking....I guess i'll find out soon enough right? Well, looks like you all know what ill be doing this summer. Running and some running and more running. I talked Zack into doing it with me so now I have a running buddy too! I really am excited for it though. The race is August 23rd and I expect to see you all there at the finish line cheering me on ;) My Dad will be so proud. No wonder im the favorite huh?

It's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine, its summertime!!!

Well, that's the show! I just finished my last class of the semester about an hour ago! What a relief. Of course I still have finals, but I couldn't be happier to not have a lab to attend or my morning class to be 20 min. late to again!! Its been a good semester, but I feel great about it being done!! Bring on the sunshine and warm weather!! I wish I could jump in the ocean just like this picture, but its closer than I think im sure!! Yay for me and everyone else who is finishing classes and even graduating!! Way to do it in 4 years like you are supposed to!! As for me, bring on the 5 year plan!! Enjoy your weekend!

GRIPES!
Alright...so here a few of my pet peeves at my job. A man just printed off like 30 pages of stuff and comes up to give me his ID card to pay for them (we dont take any cash, it has to be from their student ID card) and while handing me his card says, "I dont know if I have any money on there, I hope I do". Seriously? Ugh. This happens pretty frequently too. Its just on my nerves because its finals time and it happens more often. Dude, if you have no print outs, here is a hint- DONT PRINT -OR- add 75 cents to your card to pay for it!! Its not that complicated, really.
Yes, I could do the kind thing and pay for some of it myself, and when that happens to a person who printed out one thing, I am sympathetic and sometimes do. But if I helped out EVERY person that happened too, that would be a lot of money on my part.
Gripe #2- when people print out a slew of stuff and pretend like its not theirs when they pick it up because they don't want it anymore. There will be 15 pages of slides that all came out in the same print cue and then when they come up they grab the top 4 and pretend like it wasn't theirs. We know it was yours!! Now, this isnt something I call them on because I am cooler than that but still, its annoying. Were not stupid.
Alright, thanks for reading. Just wanted to get that off my chest. I really do love my job. Im lucky to have it, couldnt ask for a better one and im sure I have no room to complain but I just did. So there you have a glimpse into my job. I know, it surely could be SOO much worse. But I needed something to write about for the day. I promise I am in a good mood today :)
Comment with your own work or home frustrations, I honestly would love to hear. This is a place to vent!

This is where I live now...

I just wanted to give a quick blog post about my new residence. I have been at the library WAY too much this week!! I want to pull my hair out (not really, I like my hair, I think it's one of my best features). Yesterday I spent a total of 3.5 hours at my actual apartment (time I was awake anyway). That is just sad and ridiculous. I should just find a corner in the library and sleep there because I left the library last night when it closed and am here right now. This morning all I did was shower and come to the library. Sad, sad life. Oh well, I know plenty of other familiar faces here all can share in this misery. At least its nice? Eh.
