s'up max hall? and the secret life of cosmo the cougar!!!

so while i was in vegas i had the opportunity to roam the strip a couple of nights. the first night i was hanging out with joe and graham and we were walking through ceasar's palace. we were in the main plaza when i looked up and saw a football player and his wife. the closer that they got, i realized that they guy was max hall. when we walked past him i said "s'up?" He just nodded in his reply and kept going on his way. i turned to joe and graham and said, "don't you realize who that was?" and they said, "who what was?" i then said that they guy that just walked by was max hall. they turned and saw him, but i just thought that it was funny that they didn't recognize him in the first place. i mean, i was the only girl in the group and i was the one that recognized the quarterback of the football team. ridiculous!!
now for the secret life of cosmo the cougar. the second day that we were in vegas we had a luncheon that the band and cheerleaders had to perform at. we were hanging out in the event center and i saw a cheeleader walk through the room towing a very large suitcase. about 10 minutes later i saw cosmo come walking through the room going the other direction, but with the same suitcase. i laughed to myself.
after the performance i took my cymbals out to the bus and changed, and then i went back inside to grab a lunch. as i was walking back out i saw a cheerleader towing the suitcase. i went up to him and said hey cheerleader guy, are you cosmo? he looked at me and was like, sorry, i wish that i was. i looked at him and grinned and said sure. right... he then looked around and then back at me and he said of course if i was cosmo, i couldn't really tell you that could i? of course not, of course not.
so then game day happened. i was at the game and had just performed something, and was going to go sit in the stands again. cosmo was on the stairs giving out high fives to the band members. i was laughing on the inside. then he got to me and he gave me a high five, but then he pulled me into a hug. it was really funny, and that made me laugh even more.
i just thought that the world should know how awesome cosmo is, but i don't think that i will reveal his secret identity. i just thought that you would enjoy the story, especially hollykins. anyways peace out kids for real. i only have 15 minutes left of my day at work!!
SWANK!!

crazy christmas holidays!!!

the christmas holiday was pretty awesome, but i wish that it could have been longer. that would have been nice. i guess that i should start by talking about the vegas bowl.
vegas was pretty boring this year. i used to live there, and plus we went there last year. joe, graham, and i decided to go and see a movie. we went and saw the punisher 2. it was pretty funny, which was something that i wasn't expecting. for the whole trip it was just me hanging out with graham and joe. they are what made the trip fun this time around.
after that i flew to kansas city and went to wichita kansas for christmas. i got to see my sister, her son, and her husband. it was pretty fun. for the first two days it was just my sister, tricia and her family. then on the 23rd my mom, dad, and little brother came down to kansas too.
christmas day was pretty fun. my parents and family didn't know what to get me so i got lots of dvds. i got two music books, one for guitar and the other for piano. the dvd's i got were anastasia, kung fu panda, frequency, miss congenialty, sleeping beauty, x-men, and 13 going on 30. i got three new things of finger nail polish, some chapstick, and a dress. all in all it was a very good haul.
i stayed in wichita until the 28th. the night before i left though this huge thunderstom went through wichita and we were in a tornado warning. how bizzare. as we traveled home the next day, i saw that the thunderstorm had turned into an ice storm the farther north we got.
the one cool thing about being home was seeing my family. steven, my little brother, and i had bonding moments. it started new years eve when we watched prince caspian. every night after that we would watch a movie together. it was lots of fun.
the night before i came back out to utah we had another ice storm go through. my mom thought that it would take all day to get to kansas city. we left at 8 in the morning. the first 50 miles were terrible, but after that the roads were clear, and it was 50 degrees outside. it was pretty nice. i didn't fly out until 5:30 and we got to kansas city at noon. we decided to go to liberty jail, and that was cool, and then after that i went and checked through security. it was a long day.
so that leads me back out here to utah. i have 15 credits this semester, and they are easy enough. i have even been cleared to work 25 hours a week here.
that's all that i got for christmas. congrats to holly and shelley for having wonderful babies!!!!

so tired, but almost done for the day

so i've been taking finals since wednesday. sad i know because yesterday was the last day of classes. i've taken my spanish oral exam and my polynesian dance exam. today is supposed to be my reading day, but i went to campus to study and crashed the english department's christmas party. it was really good food by catering, and i'm really glad that i had it. i then went into work becuase i could study there and it would be quiet, and not very many things have happened today.

i think that as i study i reach a point where i just don't care anymore. it's been a really busy last week of classes, and now i just have to finish the finals. but while i was sitting here at work studying i think i've reached that point where i just don't care anymore. it's like i've been staring at my spanish book for so long that if i close my eyes i'm pretty sure that i'll see the escinas or my vocab words highlighted in blue or my grammar highlighted in pink. (escinas are these things that teach us about the culture through following the daily life of a college student. 18 chapters of escinas and i think we covered a whopping four days!!!)

after i leave work today though, i'll go and take the written spanish final. it should be pretty easy, and i think that it won't take me very long. on the regular test, which are 70 questions, i take 10-20 minutes. this might take me half an hour. pretty easy. after this i should go and work on my final for chum 250, but i've been on campus all day, and i have until wednesday to get it all done, or if you really want to be picky, i have until 8 on thursday morning because that's when matt will pick up the programs.

tomorrow i should take my english 292 exam, i think that i will. hopefully i'll be able to get it done pretty early because tomorrow is my birthday, and i think that i would like chill time. that could be very nice.

i don't really have any plans for my birthday yet. my roomates and i want to invite people over, but we haven't really gotten on that, and a couple of the roomies are going on dates, because they are all dating machines. maybe some day i'll introduce my roomies to you. for now though i will tell you what i call them by. (i would say their names, but they aren't really, these names range from first names, to adjectives, to last names!) my roomies are heidi, linda, bre, jackson, and natalie! okay true, those are mostly first names, but oh well.

anyways, until later, have a great day team.

new job!!!!!!

this is going to be just random thoughts and they will probably be only one sentence long... so here we go!
so today i start a new job in the english composition office. so far it seems pretty chill, and i'm excited.
last night i went ice skating and that was really cool, i wish that i was better at it, so maybe i should do this more often.
um, yeah, the poet is in a relationship and it's not with me. suck!
the school year is almost over and i haven't taken over the world yet... so many things to do, so little time.
and i think that tops it for random thoughts of the day. yay! peace out guys.

nasty.....

i was reading the post of yesterday, and i realized just how crazy it sounded. it was like i didn't read it before i posted it. hopefully today will be a wee bit better.
so some things happened today, but other things were odd i guess is the word. i didn't have spanish class because i had two spanish midterms today. i had to take the oral exam and then the written exam. the oral exam was pretty much rockin'. i'm not saying that i would do it again right now if i could, but that it went better than i thought that it would. then i took the written exam at five thirty. i was really tired and didn't really care anymore. two midterms in one day isn't hard, it's just that i wasn't expecting it during the middle of the semester. the most finals that i've ever taken in one day is i think four. yeah, in the middle of test number three that's when you stop caring.
so i was originally supposed to take the written exam at eight, but i wanted to see the poet tonight so i took the test early. he was pretty much amazing. we talked about different classes that we are taking, have already taken, or have to take all over again. there were good laughs and i can't wait to talk to him more. i like to make him laugh. i like to make people laugh in general just because it makes me happy.
yeah the shoutout of the day goes to elizabeth, who i will refer to as jackson in this blog. we were getting ready to go to fhe tonight and we we're putting on smell good stuff, and so i was spraying some and she turned around while she was talking and got a whole mouthfull. i started to laugh then, which made me inhale the fumes, and needless to say, it does not taste as good as it smells.
well foolios, i gotta go, but i will post again tomorrow. hurrah!!!!!

The new world of college

so i admit that it has been a long time since i last posted anything. i would have kept up writing during the summer but i felt like death in the end so i stopped writing and started sleeping. while at times it was great that i was at work, i felt the pain of the situation and the fact that i hadn't been able to see my mom or participate in my family.
some of the things that kept me alive was the fact that at my day job they let me drive the buses. it was fun and i liked it a lot and it kept my happy in all of surrounding badness. the other thing that kept me alive were the fact that i had drumline to come back to, i could see my mom again at the end of the month of august when i went back out to utah, and the other thing that kept me alive was the hope that this year would blow away all other years. i think that so far this year has been going very well.
i came back out here to provo, and so far i've enjoyed it thoroughly. it has been pretty successfull, and i also think that it relieves the stress on my parents when i leave. i've gone on more dates this year than i went on my freshmen and sophomore year combined. it's been busy; i've had drumline to suck away most of my time, searching for a man, and helping my friends and laughing at myself when i make ridiculous mistakes.
one of my favorite classes so far is my computer and humanities class. it's a lot of fun and i design web pages.
as of right now life could be better. i slept a lot this weekend, and the fact that i don't like is i think that i could sleep more. it was a restfull sleep.
my favorite adventure of the weekend was halloween. i went to this party, and i'm not really the partying kind of person. one of my roomates and i decided to leave and this other kid was there and he went and collected everyone else that wanted to leave too. in this group is a guy that i could be searching for. we shall call him the poet. he's in an english class with me and he's in my ward. he's all around charming and funny. he decided to walk home with us and he was dressed like this uber nerd. it was great! he was walking ahead of me and my roomies and one of the roomies came up with the plan that roomie one and i should go up to the poet and link our arms together. we we're going to do this and then he surprised us because he thought we were going to kick him. we finally were able to accomplish our goal, and i said something to the affect of i bet that's never happened to a math nerd, and the poet said, you're right. we then continued walking until we had almost reached home and then i needed a drink of my "rum" because i was thirsty.
later that night the poet came to visit because he thought that our apartment was going to go on an adventure. we weren't though, so unfortunately he left.
it was after church today and a roomie came up and asked me if there was anything going between me and the poet. i said that as far as i knew there was nothing and that he had a different love interest. it's true, unfortunately i think that he does. as for now though, i think that i have to go to ward prayer so i can see the poet. shout out to the flanagans and this is for cari dahl because she thinks that my blog is dead, but i can say that i'm about to come alive!! get ready to share this adventure...

my favorite time of days.

i have maybe three favorite times a day. the first time that's my favorite is seeing the sunset. i don't really see it, but it lets me know that the night is almost over, and that i can go home in a couple of hours. today the sunset turned the sky reddish pink. it doesn't normally do that. it usually is just the blue purple pink and gold, but today it was just the reddish pink.
my second favorite part of the day is when i walk home. some nights when i walk home i see the lightning in the sky. it lights up the world with awesome lightning strikes and so on. then i remember that i'm standing next to a metal building and should probably start walking home. other nights, like tonight, the sky is lit up with the stars. while it's not the same as living in the country it is a close second. when i walk home i find the different constillations and look at how bright they are. it reminds me of things that i like, and it keeps me going when i can't feel anything anymore. it reminds me of what a real vacation is, and how i need one of those. i'll get that vacation when i go back to school. i know that school is school and sometimes it sucks, but it's better than how i live now.
my third favorite thing of the day is probably logging onto facebook and writing on my blog so early in the morning. i hope that you guys are excited when you see that i've posted on my blog, and i enjoy the messages that friends send me on facebook.
it's kind of sad that i only have three favorite things per day. i know that they aren't much, but they matter to me. as of now, i can't really think or feel anymore, so i think it's time for bed. good night!
