Tis the Life

I went home last weekend, and my brother showed me that one of the bookmarks on his phone includes my blog. That's even better than being a follower in my mind. That means he really DOES read it. And then there's me. I love me blog. But. When I lived in Baltimore it was soooo much easier to update because I had to be in my house when it was dark and I had nothing better to do with my time than to do be on the computer. It's not like I had homework or anything.

Here's how my life goes lately:

Monday: wake up around 8. Go to class/work (lab) until 5 or 5:30. Depending on the Monday, I may or may not have eaten in that time block. If I did eat, then I can maybe squeeze in a bike ride. If not, I will come home and eat dinner, and start working on homework. I am a semi-diligent FHE attender, since last year I was an FHE mom, and I know how much attendance is appreciated. Then I come home and do homework, homework, homework. Then bed time around midnight to 1-ish.
Tuesday: Wake up around 7:30. Class/work until 6:00. Homework. Bed time by 12 or 1.
Wednesday: Same story as Monday minus the FHE part.
Thursday: Same story as Tuesday, except work only goes until 5, so I can sometimes bike.
Friday: Wake up around 9 (yay! sleep in day!!) and done with class/work at 3:30 (hooray, early done day too!!). But then...homework.
Saturday: three of my four major classes assign chunks of homeworks that are due on mondays. It seriously almost seems like I have 3 projects due every single stinkin Monday. No joke. But it's my routine. So, every Friday night/Saturday morning, day, night til the wee hours of Sunday morning I do this homework
Sunday: My homework free day. I'm first counselor in the RS pres in my ward, so I spend my time doing things for that a lot. I also spend a lot of time with my friends here, or resting from the week (it's MUCH needed), or with my family sometimes. Just doing whatever I need to really to prepare myself spiritually for the upcoming week.

So, that's really all that I do. My roommates and my mother get super concerned for me because I never even have time to eat. My roommates never see me because I spend ALL my time in the library or in the engineering building. I guess I think it's fun? Whatever. I never have time to grocery shop. The last time I went grocery shopping was on a Friday night at 11pm. It was the only time it would fit in my schedule. Plus, it's not like I have anything better to do on Friday nights, besides start doing all my hw that I would be doing the following day. I just need to eat more. I never have time to even eat.

But. Now I'm really really really going to sound like a hypocrite. I'm going to show you all the fun things that I HAVE been able to do for the past month and a half :) I take my camera with me whenever I do something that is out of the ordinary weekly schedule...so it's basically all photo documented for all you non-facebook followers of mine. The captions will explain what they all are:

Alan and Alyssa's wedding reception! Alan and Alyssa are my friends from Baltimore. They got married in Idaho, so I was able to drive up to their wedding reception. I'm so glad that I was able to go, because I was seriously one of the only people even close to their age there...


Me and Alyssa. What a beautiful bride!!


Me and my old roommate Megan at the Thriller dance show. The Odyssey Dance Theater came to USU and put on the Thriller show, and Megan and I went to it. Tickets were $25 for the public, but student tickets were only $5. It was general admission, and Megan and I got front row seats! It was so awesome! Super entertaining, and they were all such great dancers!!


My friends and I taking out Heidi out for her 21st birthday to Cafe Sabor! Troy, Maura, Heidi, and me.


I went with Megan to the North Logan Pumpkin Walk! It's a Cache Valley tradition. Every year, there are little vignettes set up in a park that are made out of all pumpkins! It's super cute :)

I LOVE Despicable Me!!
