Hello everyone!! Before I begin.... a BIG thank you to those who read this!! It's really nice to know that I'm not wasting my time writing this!!!
Monday was Presidents' Day so... NO SCHOOL!! Made me very happy! What did I do?? I sat in my room... and did homework, whoopee. Then I watched an excessive amount of Netflix then went on walk. It was also the day when all the roommates came back and I'm not going to lie, while it is nice to have them back, I kinda miss all the quietness, not saying they're loud but I miss being able to blast my music with no complaints. Oh well, I'll live. I also studied a bit for my first GNST's test. A vocab test. I have to memorize words like "Procrastination", "Self Esteem" and "Value".... oh yeah... definitely a tough test.
Tuesday, we went through the Monday schedule, so instead of just Math and Dreadful English. I got to go to GNST (well not really because I had a test instead) but I had Theater, Math and Institute! Best part is that... I get to have it again tomorrow!!! ONLY ONE DAY OF DREADFUL ENGLISH THIS WEEK!!!! So happy. Not that I don't LOVE english, because I do.. I'm just bored because everything we're learning, I already learned my Junior year of high school and not to mention my teacher is a complete and utter psycho, I'm not even going to get into that... The Vocab test was pretty easy, hopefully I get a good grade on it! Theater had been spectacular!!! I so wish there was a logical career that involved Theater (Don't say Drama teacher, I completely and utterly refuse) and me acting! Our Shakespearean project is getting along quite nicely, we're hammering memorization, which is vital! Institute was amazing - as usual!! So we get institute tomorrow too!!! EEK! I can't wait!!! I wish I could just have my Monday and Wednesday schedule everyday... to put it short.. I wish I could drop English, but alas, I cannot!
Wednesday was just as amazing as Tuesday! Again... probably because I didn't have English.. but I do tomorrow along with a Math test! Thankfully I can take it either on Thursday or Friday.... I'm going with Friday, more study time! I have a story about today!! If you didn't see it on Facebook then here you go!
So there's these couple of prissy popular girls in my theater class and I've never paid them any mind and they've done the same. In Theater we're doing this game thing that involves focus and the whole game is rather complicated so I'm going to skip the rules.. But the subject of Disney came up. For those of you who really know me, know that I'll know some things but won't attest to being "specialized" in it. Disney is my specialty. I don't know everything there is to know about Disney but I know about 95% of it including all of the Disney Men names... This girl tried to tell me that "The Prince" was Cinderella's Prince's name... and that Snow White had "Prince Charming"... for those of you who watch Once Upon a Time, I'm with you! I've seen it! I know they call him Prince Charming BUT that's because they couldn't go around calling him "The Prince"! Do you understand how confusing that would have been?!? So they switched them and when she said that, I doubted my knowledge (like I tend to do) and said nothing plus, I really didn't want to get into an argument over it. It wasn't worth being hated over. When I got home... I looked it up, just to double check my Disney Knowledge. I AM COMPLETELY RIGHT!!! Snow White's Prince is known as "The Prince" and Cinderella's is known as "Prince Charming"!!! DON'T CHALLENGE ME WHEN IT COMES TO PRINCE'S OR PRINCESSES NAMES! Gah! Really annoyed me because she said it in a way that was supposed to make me feel stupid like *high pitched annoying girl voice* "Duh, everyone knows that Snow White has Prince Charming and Cinderella has The Prince".... No... Just... No....
Besides that, the day was good and uneventful!
Thursday... not as good as Monday through Wednesday! English was insane and boring, math about the same hahaha! Nothing to really report!
Friday! Got the test back from GNST and I still got an 'A' but I missed the first two questions but it's all good. We're learning about Money Management and the only thing that ever comes to mind when I think about Money Managing is my dad trying to teach me little kid me who could absolutely care less about managing money but I'm learning it now.. My partner and I performed our Romeo and Juliet Scene and apparently... I just wasn't whiny enough or as my teacher put it "Pissy" I was angry enough either. I take that as a compliment but I thought we did pretty well. I also took another Math test on Friday, hoping that I passed. I don't care what the grade is as long as it's passing...!!
Saturday I woke up at eight in the morning and didn't get out of bed till noon... I was watching a movie! After the movie, I spiffied up in my room, got dressed and walked to Walmart with my list. Got everything I needed and it was within my budget!! I had $61 in my wallet and part of me wanted to splurge a little bit but I told myself not to go over twenty five dollars... The total amount?? Twenty Three!! Hooray! The weather had been nice too! That night, I watched "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" in my room while attending to some laundry. Didn't get to bed until midnight! The movie was good, slightly anti climactic but pretty good!
Sunday! At church we got a new bishopric and I felt a little bad that I didn't cry.. Girls all around me were sniffling and I just sat there like. "Ok, bye, nice knowing ya!" Probably because I barely knew them but I like the new bishopric already, they seem nice. Going over to the counselor's house for Waffles tonight (Yay look at me being social!)
Can't wait to take on next week's challenges! I love you all and thank you for reading my blog, truly means a lot to me!!

Valentine's Day Weekened!!
Since nothing really happened last week, I'm most going to focus on the weekend!! It was a great weekend!
So on the Fourteenth of February is commonly known as "Valentine's Day", where loved ones get chocolates and flowers for their significant other. My significant other is a million miles away and doesn't even know that we're supposed to be together... ah the life of a fan girl... There are other girls like me so I've changed the name from V-Day to "Single Awareness Day" and I'll have you all know that I've been calling it Single Awareness Day for about four years... since High school... Anyway, I digress...
I have been looking forward to this particular weekend because that Sunday I got a phone call from my parents and they told me that they were coming to Visit!!! Made my day. The week that followed wasn't the best but I'm not going into that.
Friday finally comes and I handed out my little Single Awareness Day treats to my roommates and went to my two classes. Theater got out a LOT earlier and my parents were due to come get me an hour and a half later. So I spent that hour tidying up a bit while pinning my significant other on Pinterest. I got the call that they were here, so I walked outside and greeted my parents! Showed them my apartment and the campus, which they seemed impressed with. We got back to the apartment where they surprised me with the fact that I would not be coming back to my room until the next day!
Clumsily I packed an over night bag and off to Provo we went. I blabbed the whole way and of course they thought it was a twinge annoying but I bet they missed it! We ate dinner at a Pizza Buffet place, I don't remember the name (sorry) and I had about four pieces of small pizza and was stuffed. We walked around a LDS bookstore that wasn't Deseret and found perfume called "Pink Chocolate" and I was tempted to ask for it but decided against it. We drove around BYU and UVU mostly because we were looking for the Pizza Place but it made me thankful for my own school because there would be no way that I would go to a school that huge. Never.
After Dinner we walked around a mall, which had a Hot Topic and it was beautiful! When I say 'beautiful' I mean, I love all there Doctor Who, Disney and Harry Potter stuff but besides that... the store gives me the creeps. We also saw... A DISNEY STORE!!!!! Next to the late 'Borders' the Disney store is my next favorite! In the Disney store I was fortunate enough to get a Minnie Mouse t shirt that actually looks good on me! We also Pre ordered Frozen and got some snazzy looking pictures, which are hanging up in my room as we - you read this.
After that we left and journeyed to Heidi Alldredge's House where we all talked for about four hours then mom and I talked for another hour before we went to sleep. It was great to listen to them all talk about their college days and it also made me feel better about having pervy friends... Won't get into that.
Next day we went to Old Navy, where I got some much needed clothes! This includes another Minnie Mouse shirt!! Then we ate ourselves sick at Chuck o rama! We drove back to Ephraim, stopped at Walmart and came back! When they had left I learned that it was only Ashley and myself in the whole apartment... not going to lie.. It was absolutely HEAVENLY! Didn't have to worry about being judged! Ashley's cool with me singing in my room (at least I think she's cool with it.. hasn't complained) and I'm cool with her playing her clarinet!
Ashley and I both went to the combined church meeting on Sunday and for once the girls outweighed the boys and we both thought that we got the short end of the stick when it came to males in our ward. The weather was nice, all the snow finally melted so I went on a walk and Monday I've been attempting to do Homework....
Thank you all for reading this blog!! I love you all!!

Week Five!!
Hello everyone!! I hope you all had a pleasant week and thank you SO MUCH for taking time out of your day to read my blog, you have no idea what it means to me!!
On that note... MONDAY! Let's see, Monday included Theater Class and Institute, two classes that I thoroughly enjoy. Good classes to have on a Monday, I don't know anyone who really enjoys Mondays... Theater class we have been doing, my personal favorite things, IMPROV!!! For those who don't know, Improv is short for improvisation, which is acting on your toes. No script, no characters are given, just a scene and if an improv game has specific rules then you follow those. This week we have been working on Emotions and it's been interesting and hilarious, I love going into that class! I also had Institute, which I love! Brother Bingham, my teacher has asked us ladies to ask a guy for the Sweetheart dance that would be held on that Friday... I did not but only because I don't know any guys well enough to ask them, otherwise, I most likely would have... maybe... After Institute, I took my beloved ipod and walked around Ephraim, (When I say walked around, I mean I chose a direction and just went straight until I couldn't anymore) yeah it was cold but man it felt good to just be alone for a while and walk!
Tuesday was English and Math, so nothing special happened that day. Literally, nothing, I can't even think about what to write about Tuesday... Hmmm.... I learned about a Math test and did peer editing for my "How To" paper. The paper was "The Best Way to Successfully Write a Novel". I felt completely inadequate writing it because I'm not exactly published (With the exception of my poems) but my English teacher got excited when I told her that was my topic..
Wednesday!! Oh I've got stories about Wednesday! So I had an appointment with my English teacher who wanted to discuss my first paper (everyone had done it already) and she assured everyone that this would only be a ten minute interview so I chose the time slot of 9:10 twenty minutes before my first class. I go in there completely bound with nerves because of how intimidating she is in class. Like the person that I am, I show up four minutes early, she's not even there. She gets there exactly at 9:10 and our meeting commences. My first paper was not a pleasure to write, because I had nothing to write and therefore didn't put in much effort, I gave the paper my 100% effort out of my 250% and was awaiting a score to look like 60 or 65% but when I look she actually gave me a 75% then bumped it up to an 80%!! She asked me about my essay and we talked for a long time then she asked me about my new essay topic (the writing one) and I told her then we engaged in what kind of things I wrote. Finally I was excused come to find.. that the time was 9:35... Anyone who knows me, knows that I completely and utterly disdain, loathe and hate being late to anything. So the fact that I had been late for my first class was a nightmare. I swiftly walked to the LP Building then took the elevator up to my class where all eyes were trained on me as I walked in, with my head hung low and face tomato red....
In Theater we continued with emotions and improv, I laughed to tears and it was amazing. Math we practiced for our test. Institute, was again ushered to go to the Sweetheart dance and when Brother Bingham asked me about it I told him that I already had a date that I couldn't cancel on.. He asked me who the my date was in which I responded with a perfectly straight face. "Netflix" everyone who had been within earshot laughed, including myself and Brother Bingham. After Institute I took another walk in a different direction, I went up hill and will never do that again!
Thursday, again, nothing really important happened. I took my Math test and am wishing that I did better than the first test!!
Friday. The best thing about Friday happened in Theater. We're finally doing Shakespeare!!! I'm so excited!!! We chose partners, my partner is a girl named Crystal, who's really nice! The downfall of the project is that my theater teacher said that the partners were females, they had to do a scene with two females... Do you know how hard that is??? Very but I've managed to find some and for those of you who really know me, know my hatred towards "Romeo and Juliet" so I will be staying far away from that!! I found one that I kind of want to do from "Much Ado About Nothing" the second greatest Shakespearean play aside from "Hamlet". The scene where Hero and Ursula are talking about how Benedick loves Beatrice and all that good jazz haha.
Also on Friday, I got invited by someone in my General Studies class, that I had never spoken to before to her place to watch Frozen. My first thought was excitement because I would be achieving my goal of being more social and possibly gaining friends by going! I didn't go. In my defense! I wasn't feeling the best health wise and I didn't really know the girl who invited, I'm not even 100% sure of her name... So instead of being social... I stayed in and watched Hamlet on my computer...Then Paige and I went into the lounge and played Apples to Apples with some people, then pulled a farting prank on one of the R.A's which was hilarious! Then went to bed.
Saturday I watched The Neverending Story, if you haven't seen this amazing 80's movie... You need to fix that, pronto! I cried at some parts.. like I did when I was younger. After that movie I got dressed then walked to Walmart. Got a few things from there and walked back, really enjoyable walk. I always feel proud of myself when I walk to Walmart by myself!
Sunday, I decided to curl my hair and look pretty come to find out THAT IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE! Thankfully Paige had an umbrella she let me use! Church was good, full of spiritual people and the talks? Were all given by attractive young men, even the Alex Pettyfer lookin' guy! (If I haven't explained it and you're curious, leave me a message or text or call me) and the talks were about the Priesthood and the first guy who spoke was talking about how that the we, ladies, should call the guys for anything. He used an example that put me into slight feminist mode. He said that we should call the men when walking from the Library at night. At first my thoughts consisted of "excuse me? I don't need no man, to walk me from the library!" then it consisted of any excuse I could use just to call one of them haha. After Church... it was still raining and to get to the sidewalk, you have to climb down some stairs... For some reason my feet and brain couldn't understand that... I fell on my knees on the wet pavement! It hurt but I laughed it off like I usually do when I clumsily fall! When I got back I found that I have three scratches on my leg, one really big one, like so big that I had to use the big huge band aids and two smaller ones and today I also realized that in Mrs. Brown's care pack (she's the librarian I T.Aed for the year) she gave me Winnie the Pooh Band aids!!!!!! So I'm wearing one on my foot!!
So yeah, that's been my week just a heads up for my next post.. I'm going have a mouthful to say about Valentine's Day since it's this coming Friday.... Consider yourself Warned!!
Again, thank you for everyone who takes the time to read this! I'm so grateful I love you all!!

Week Four! New Month, New Goals!!
So first off I hope everyone had a GREAT week! Happy February guys! January has been a month of changes and challenges. This week has been a challenge for me all on its own!
So Monday... nothing special happened, except Institute, that class always manages to make me happy!
Tuesday, was probably the worst day of that week... I got my Math test back and I'm already nervous to get it back it doesn't help when my teachers starts to tell us that on average the class did poorly and then he starts to draw diagrams with percents in them telling us that if we're in this certain percent then we should think about dropping the class and do the class with a Computer programs called "i learn" for any and all out there who know me.. I can NOT learn through a computer, nope, can't and I prayed in that class that I wouldn't be in that percentage... Alas.. I was. No, I'm not dropping the class because of one bad test, all I can do is give this stupid Math class my 300% out the 200% I was already giving it. English was brutal because I'm not showing up in the role even though my OWN schedule says I'm in there and the teacher decides to talk about it in front of the whole entire class. All that attention is not fun to experience. Anything good come from Tuesday? Yes, I ate Ice cream.
Wednesday, had been a better day, not sure why... Institute? Seriously, I'm not trying to negative at all, I'm just telling you how the week went and it went badly. Not a good week at all! If I wasn't feeling overwhelmed with Math and English, then physically I wasn't feeling well. BLAH! But going to Institute really helps me.
Thursday started out pretty fletchin' fantastic because of a dream I had. You guys should know by now that I get pretty amazing, weird, long and vivid dream. This dream was not one of those dreams. It was short and the best parts about it, I barely remember and since this is my blog I'm going to tell you my dream, if you don't want to read it... skip all the Italics..
So I was at Grandma Robertson's house (my mothers' mom) and I was in the basement/downstairs part of the house getting dressed. Joseph (my brother) was standing in the middle of the room. He and I had an argument about who got to stay in the downstairs and who got to leave. So I did what I did best and dragged him to another room and locked it while I got dressed. After he raced upstairs I took my jolly good time getting up there. When I did the whole upstairs was crowded (and it's not a very huge upstairs) everyone from my mom's side of the family had gathered together (and instead of placing all the tables in the large back yard we were all crammed in the house, I just thought it was funny). I sit at the table closest to the front door and I sat facing the door. A knock echoed and everyone yelled "Come in!" and in comes my cousins' Hanna and Sarah with their kids and husbands. They're both warmly greeted by us all and since it's virtually impossible to move around the house, they both sit across from me. We talked for a while then I blacked out...
Next thing I know I'm in a dimly lighted horse coral sort of thing just surrounded by American Quarter horses. I have an impulse to put them back in their separate stalls and I do this. All that's left is one horse who doesn't want to go in yet. So I climbed on top of it (bare back, a thing I have done only once and promised myself that I wouldn't do it again.) and we canter around the coral. After a while a voice calls out to me, telling me to come. I reply with something along the lines of "You'll have to catch me first". He chortles like it's an easy thing I've challenged him to do. He does this weird whistle thing that I can't even begin to reciprocate and like a magic the horse I'm on just comes to him no matter how much I yank or kick. Finally, the horse stops and the guy pulls me off of the horse. I can't tell you what he looked like (usually I can but this time I can't...) the only thing I remember about him is that he wore Cowboy boots and blue jeans... So he pulls me off and I remember something flirtatious went down when all of a sudden some weird shawomen.. or maybe his mother... I don't know... came in and told us that they horses have food poisoning and that she could tell because of their... well feces... (I don't even know if that's how you tell if a horse is sick or not). So me and Cowboy boots rushed around, cleaned the hay, exchanged the food/ water and cleaned up the uh droppings and that's when I noticed a feeling in the pit of my stomach that I had never in my life had felt before. It felt like I was getting kicked but in a good way.. I don't know how to explain it but I noticed it because out in the distance I saw Benedict Cumberbatch and usually he gets my heart going (don't know who he is? Google him) but this time I didn't feel anything and when I looked back at the Cowboy boots the warm, fuzzy, kicking feeling came back and a smile that reached my ears came back....
So after that I blinked back into Grandmas' dinner and Hanna had asked me a question (don't remember what it was but I replied 'no') Just then Cowboy boots comes up and asks me to take a walk with him. By some miracle we were able to get out of the house and outside on a walk without damaging a thing! We walked around for a while until we ended back at the house. He told me that he loved my family and how funny everyone was. Then he told me that the past 6 months were the best thing ever and wondered if I would be willing to spend forever with him. I started crying (don't know why because I'm 99.9% sure that if I was ever going to be proposed to, I'd start laughing with joy before crying.. jus' sayin') so of course I said yes... Then Aunt Lynn came bursting out of the house telling everyone that I had said yes. Everyone else came out and I asked "Why are we celebrating... aren't at we at a funeral?" then I WOKE UP!
From the moment I woke up til the moment I went back to sleep that night I couldn't stop smiling, no matter how much I tried to stop and just wear a normal face. The memory of how I felt during that dream just came back and I don't know.. I just felt really happy, even now as I remember it I feel that warm fuzzy feeling from before.. Weird but nice.
Friday it had started to Snow... so of course.. I RAN OUTSIDE IN MY PJS AND PENGUIN HAT AND STARTED TO SING "LET IT GO" FROM FROZEN WHILE PRETENDING TO BE ELSA! Yup I got some stares but man... it was worth it!
Saturday... nothing happened, I watched "Rent" for the first time and I have to say.. It may have some Taboo subjects about it but it was really good. The music was simply fantastic! The story line, not so much, I felt like it was a little under developed and some characters were under developed but the music!! I could listen to some of those songs all day! I also did my math homework and got started on my English Essay and when I say "got started" I mean.. I wrote out my outline.
Sunday I went to church and for the first time in a whole year I bore my testimony and even got a little emotional.. not something I'm proud off. Went to all of my classes and oh the best part.. I lost my I.D card... Funny because we had a lesson on trials... Me losing my I.D card is a definite trail, because now I have to go pay a $10 fee on top of my other fees, which were due last week but can't pay it because my loan has still not come in... So this week has its' challenges...
So since it's February that means... NEW MONTHLY GOALS!!! I am proud to say that I have fulfilled January's goals if you don't remember what they are then... go back to the beginning of the blog... So for this month I'm still only setting three goals
1) Make some friends.. My roommates are great.. but I'd like to talk to someone who doesn't live with me.
2) Be more outgoing. I've established acting confident... now it's time to act outgoing and speak my mind more.
3) Become more active in the Student Life. I have lived this whole month in my room... It's getting old...
If you all wouldn't mind helping me fulfill these goals with any encouragement throughout the month.. That'd be amazing!!!
SO that's all I have for this week, sorry if it was such a downer, you know how I feel living it haha..
I love and appreciate you all!
Thanks for the support!!

So Monday... nothing special happened, except Institute, that class always manages to make me happy!
Tuesday, was probably the worst day of that week... I got my Math test back and I'm already nervous to get it back it doesn't help when my teachers starts to tell us that on average the class did poorly and then he starts to draw diagrams with percents in them telling us that if we're in this certain percent then we should think about dropping the class and do the class with a Computer programs called "i learn" for any and all out there who know me.. I can NOT learn through a computer, nope, can't and I prayed in that class that I wouldn't be in that percentage... Alas.. I was. No, I'm not dropping the class because of one bad test, all I can do is give this stupid Math class my 300% out the 200% I was already giving it. English was brutal because I'm not showing up in the role even though my OWN schedule says I'm in there and the teacher decides to talk about it in front of the whole entire class. All that attention is not fun to experience. Anything good come from Tuesday? Yes, I ate Ice cream.
Wednesday, had been a better day, not sure why... Institute? Seriously, I'm not trying to negative at all, I'm just telling you how the week went and it went badly. Not a good week at all! If I wasn't feeling overwhelmed with Math and English, then physically I wasn't feeling well. BLAH! But going to Institute really helps me.
Thursday started out pretty fletchin' fantastic because of a dream I had. You guys should know by now that I get pretty amazing, weird, long and vivid dream. This dream was not one of those dreams. It was short and the best parts about it, I barely remember and since this is my blog I'm going to tell you my dream, if you don't want to read it... skip all the Italics..
So I was at Grandma Robertson's house (my mothers' mom) and I was in the basement/downstairs part of the house getting dressed. Joseph (my brother) was standing in the middle of the room. He and I had an argument about who got to stay in the downstairs and who got to leave. So I did what I did best and dragged him to another room and locked it while I got dressed. After he raced upstairs I took my jolly good time getting up there. When I did the whole upstairs was crowded (and it's not a very huge upstairs) everyone from my mom's side of the family had gathered together (and instead of placing all the tables in the large back yard we were all crammed in the house, I just thought it was funny). I sit at the table closest to the front door and I sat facing the door. A knock echoed and everyone yelled "Come in!" and in comes my cousins' Hanna and Sarah with their kids and husbands. They're both warmly greeted by us all and since it's virtually impossible to move around the house, they both sit across from me. We talked for a while then I blacked out...
Next thing I know I'm in a dimly lighted horse coral sort of thing just surrounded by American Quarter horses. I have an impulse to put them back in their separate stalls and I do this. All that's left is one horse who doesn't want to go in yet. So I climbed on top of it (bare back, a thing I have done only once and promised myself that I wouldn't do it again.) and we canter around the coral. After a while a voice calls out to me, telling me to come. I reply with something along the lines of "You'll have to catch me first". He chortles like it's an easy thing I've challenged him to do. He does this weird whistle thing that I can't even begin to reciprocate and like a magic the horse I'm on just comes to him no matter how much I yank or kick. Finally, the horse stops and the guy pulls me off of the horse. I can't tell you what he looked like (usually I can but this time I can't...) the only thing I remember about him is that he wore Cowboy boots and blue jeans... So he pulls me off and I remember something flirtatious went down when all of a sudden some weird shawomen.. or maybe his mother... I don't know... came in and told us that they horses have food poisoning and that she could tell because of their... well feces... (I don't even know if that's how you tell if a horse is sick or not). So me and Cowboy boots rushed around, cleaned the hay, exchanged the food/ water and cleaned up the uh droppings and that's when I noticed a feeling in the pit of my stomach that I had never in my life had felt before. It felt like I was getting kicked but in a good way.. I don't know how to explain it but I noticed it because out in the distance I saw Benedict Cumberbatch and usually he gets my heart going (don't know who he is? Google him) but this time I didn't feel anything and when I looked back at the Cowboy boots the warm, fuzzy, kicking feeling came back and a smile that reached my ears came back....
So after that I blinked back into Grandmas' dinner and Hanna had asked me a question (don't remember what it was but I replied 'no') Just then Cowboy boots comes up and asks me to take a walk with him. By some miracle we were able to get out of the house and outside on a walk without damaging a thing! We walked around for a while until we ended back at the house.

Then Aunt Lynn came bursting out of the house telling everyone that I had said yes. Everyone else came out and I asked "Why are we celebrating... aren't at we at a funeral?" then I WOKE UP!
