Halloween!

Who doesn't love halloween? It's so fun. Nevermind the fact that it started by people worshiping the devil! It's just fun now! Hinckley 2200 had a hall date night for halloween!! So fun. I went with a friend named Tyler. Who decided it would be fun to dress as a creep. Awesome. haha.

This is us at dinner. I was Elphaba/The Wicked Witch. I kept telling people I was the good one and they just looked at me weird...


Scarecrow, Dorothy, And the Witches!!


Bailee was a Grandma... how awesome is that??


This is all the girls from my hall that were there... and Tyler being a creep in the background.. haha. Anyways these girls are awesome!! I love Hinckley!

the joys of college.

Just in case you are wondering what you will look if you--
A. haven't slept in 30 hours.
B. bombed a history test that you stayed up all night studying for.
C. are wearing parkas and it's not even halloween yet....

This is how you would look.


It's an awesome look I know. I'm not sure how well I am pulling it off today, but it's a look I just might rock more often.


In other news... my hall is having a date night tomorrow night, and I asked a friend named Tyler, while my friends Kelli and Tiffany asked boys on the same hall. We thought that if we asked in cute ways they were sure to say yes.


Our theory proved to be correct. We'll see how that one goes!

So it's possible that I am blogging during my History 201 class.
But only because it is the worst class ever made.
Seriously. Seriously. I'm just being productive.

Anywaysss.
This would be Miss Laura Gilpin and I.



Laura also got into the Disney College Program! So yes, we will both be going and living together! I am so excited. It will be less scary!

I don't remember if I announced what I would be doing while in Florida... I am going to be a lifeguard!

There are many reasons why am I excited-

1. I won't have to wear an itchy costume.
2. I am going to get a killer tan (and maybe my blonde hair back!)
3. It is so going to motivate me to get back into shape!


Still homesick. Miss all you guys!

Irony

I find it quite ironic that I titled my last post "why is it so hard?" because that it exactly what I was going to title this post. And since I cannot possible title two post the same... this one is irony.

But it is all about how terrible college is. I miss my family. I miss my friends.

But mostly it is terrible because I am pretty much failing all of my classes except chemistry. Everyone talks about how terribly hard chemistry is, but it seems to be the only class I'm not terrible at. I need to rethink my life. I'm a biology major. I got my biology test back today in my 11 o'clock recitation and I got a 75.5 Like seriously. I thought I got an A on that thing. Fifty percent of the test was essay. Which is totally fine, because you can just write down everything that you know. But in Dr. Johnson's class you must write exactly what he wrote in the key, or you don't get credit. So didn't get credit for half of the written section. I was so upset I left recitation a half hour early and just started crying. Remind me to not wear makeup on the days I'm getting tests back... it doesn't end up pretty :[
Should I change my major, I'm terrible at biology. But I don't know if it's just this class or if it is biology altogether. Ugh.

So that is my pet peeve of the day. When professors expect you to read their mind.

Not cool. Maybe I'll get to come home if I fail out of BYU. That would be exciting.

Why is it so hard?

THIS is the week of pet peeves. I don't know what brought it up. Maybe I am PMSing. Who knows.

Today's pet peeve relates to college.

You walk into your class of 300. You aren't ten minutes early to class like you generally are, but you are still there before lecture starts. But of course, the only seats open are the ones smack in the middle. Why would you sit in the middle if you are one of the first ones there? Because it makes sense? That's what I thought. So you have to crawl over twenty people and their laptops and their bags just to get a seat.
Why is it so hard to just fill in from the center?

Whoa. Now that I have that off my chest, Tell me about one of your pet peeves!

The Weather.

Okay I know I just updated... and I totally didn't even mention the weather.

What is wrong with me? For reals. I woke up on Tuesday and it was in the thirties. And it was raining. Could it be anymore terrible. Yeah... actually it could, because it hasn't warmed up at all. I think it got up in the fifties midday yesterday. It's okay though because I'm going to do some intense shopping soon.

It's kind of fun for it to be so cold because then I complain a lot and people are like where are you from because this isn't cold. And I'm like I'm from Texas!

Represent!

Miss it so much.

The Life.

So I know that I don't have to write a novel every time I write a post, but sometimes I feel like it's a waste if I don't have a ton of exciting things to write! I feel like yall are you going to be like "wow byu is lame" if i don't have all of these exciting things to say! haha but that's okay because sometimes my life is just not exciting. and that's okay because right now I am at college and I need to be studying.

Which by the way I have been doing so much of. It is ridiculous. Before I left for school everyone was so excited for me and they were like "college was the best time of my life!" Okay... College is stressful. Like super stressful! But that's okay. I'm managing. I've had three midterms this week. Two B's and an A. Not to shabby. I can deal with that!

Anyways! I'm liking it here! Last weekend we had a single's safari. Just a silly scavenger hunt thing around campus and it ended in a dance!
Me and my friend Kelli got really into it.


You like our safari apparel?

I got my hair cut this morning.
You probably can't tell a difference... But I feel so much better. For reals. Like my split ends were sick. So I'm happy :]

Tonight BYU football plays Utah State University. That's where my friend Ali goes... we better win.

That's all I have to say. We better.
