Friends Never Say Goodbye

It's crazy to think that there is only two more weeks of this semester and even harder to think that I will not be returning to the 'burg until after my mission. (but don't be discouraged...I will keep posting my crazy adventures)
For this post though I would like to dedicate every word to my roommates. . . more like best friends!

KATY: You probably know what I am gonna say. . ."I have no idea why I like ya, I just do!" You are one of my great friends and I am so blessed to have known you since my first semester up here.You always have a smile on your face and you have helped me get through some hard times. . . staying up until three or sometimes later at night sitting on my bed or out in the living room just talking. I always have fun with you and glad we can share our college adventures together. I am going to miss you so much, since you will be gone from the 'burg when I get back from my mission, but that does not mean we ain't gonna see each other. Heck! we are a couple best friends for crying out loud. . . lol! Thanks for everything Katy and I can't wait to see what dress you pick for me! ;-)

MEGAN: Thanks for everything! I love to see you so happy and I am so happy for everything that you have experienced this semester! Just know you are one of my best friends and I love hanging out and talking to you. I love that you are a huggable persona and still give me hugs even though you know I am not a hug kind of person, but you still give them to me and they do make me feel better, anythough I am so stiff. It's crazy to think that we have known each other for two years and I am grateful that you have been there since the start of my college life. I am going to miss you so much Megan. . . but the adventures of THE MKB will live on forever!(ha...I just made that up!) lol. Anyways, I am glad I can talk to you and glad that you are able to talk to me! Never loose touch and hopefully I will see you when I get back!

HEIDI: I know I have not known you for very long, but I am so grateful that you are one of my roommates this semester. I always enjoy talking to you and I love the fact that you just go with the flow and how me and you have a lot in common! Thanks for everything you have brought to this Apartment because you really are a great example and fun to be around. Keep in touch! I will love to hear from you and I hope that one day you might get to experience a mission as well, because I know that is what you want to do. If you are really serious about it and are completely dedicated to the idea then my advise to you is to not let any body elses opionions get to you. I have been saying that I am going on a mission since I was like ten years old and I have not yet changed my mind. I am so close and I am at the point that I finally get to go. People will keep telling you that someone is going to come along and you are going to get married and you won't make it to a mission, but I know that if that is where you believe the Lord is leading you then you will make it. You still have two years, but keep your mind focused on preparing for a mission. Even if you don't go on one. . . I know by preparing yourself for one, you will be blessed because no matter what the Lord is sending you on somesort of mission.

Thanks Y'all and remember FRIENDS NEVER SAY GOODBYE

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird

Alright. . . so I have been really busy with end of the semester projects for my classes and I just finished my major literary project for my English 335 class. For this project we are aloud to do what we want with the approval of our professor. For my project I decided to take the poem "Thirteen ways of Looking at a Blackbird" by Wallace Stevens. This is one of the works we studied this semester and so I decided to do photographs for each stanza and give a new perspective to the reader for the poem. The photos that I took are my interpretations of how I view the poem. I thank my frieds for making this poem come to life by being the figures in my photos. It was a great experience to take them out and make this poem come to life. I hope you like what I have done to this poem and I hope you like the photographs I took.
The song I have playing is for the cd "tribute to metallica" called "fade to black" I think this song fits in perfectly with the poem and the photos. . . enjoy my project and hopefully I get an A+ on it ;-)

This to Shall Pass

So every week they have a new "YOUTUBE" video of the week in the school's newspaper, The Scroll.
This weeks video I thought was pretty sweet... check it out!!

Leapin' Leprechauns

When we think of St. Patrick's day we think of Green! At least that is what I have always interpretated it to be. Though, it is about slavery, missionary, and other terminalogy that we always seem to look over. I would get into more of the history of where St. Patrick came from, but that would be another story for another time. I must say though. . . my week has been filled with the color green. Not only is my favorite color green, but I have seen a lot of green.
March 16 (the day before St. Patricks) I was getting ready to go onto campus as usual and on Tuesdays I am the first one to leave my apartment. So it was about 7:30 in the morning and I put my coat on and opened the door. As I opened the door. . . an envelope fell down onto the ground right in front of me. I closed the door behind me and was now standing outside in the cool air. I bent downt to pick up the envelope and on the other side was my name. Curious I opened the envelope as I continued to walk to campus. Once open I looked inside. Twenty Dollars. That is all that was in the evelople. . . there was no note, card, or name, just twenty dollars in an envelope with my name on it.

I am grateful for the unexpected money, but I have no idea who would have left twenty dollars for me at my door. Thank you whoever!!
Any ways that was the mystery money left at my door the day before St. Patricks day and let me just say I did enjoy a wonderful college student st.patricks day dinner (made by me)!

My dinner included: Green eggs, Green jello, Green (mothergoose) popcorn w/ Green m&ms, and Green Koolaide. I know that this is a weird combination, but it was all so good!!


I did however end my awesome Green day with a MIDNIGHT run to Jack in the Box!!! two of my roommates, Katy and Megan, and our friend Jesse (he is one of our coworkers) made a quick run for some icecream and mozarella sticks at Jack in the Box. . . and yes we were about 10 minutes late for curfew, but it was worth it to get some good food!!!!!!

*check out my pictures... I have updated the pictures in march!

WHERE'S DARCY??

Lucy and Alice and Wendy, oh my! People at BYU-Idaho consider the English Majors to be really weird students (and let me just say. . . WE ARE PROUD OF IT!!!). It must be because they are just jealous that they do not have nearly as much fun as we do! If someone comes up to us and starts talking literary we just have a ball because we have so much to say and so much excitement to share.
Today was an especially fun day for the english majors and once the other majors figured out what was going on they started having some fun with it as well, though they still think we are weird. As an English Major it is always fun to see my favoirte literary characters come to life! The EAS (English Academic Society) decided to have a selected amount of English Majors dress up as a literary character from some of our most beloved, favorite novels. The students that dressed up went about there day as normal, but when someone spots them and goes up to them and identifies who they are and what novel they are from they will give you a ticket and the ticket will help contribute to your chance of winning a free book (the more characters you identify, the more tickets you get, and then the better chance you have of winning a book). Yes, I know it is kind of nerdy in getting all worked up to win a book, but seriously that would be so awesome if I win!!! So today as I went about my day I identified 12 literay characters around campus and recieved 12 tickets. The first literary character I spotted was Wendy (Peter Pan), then Peter Pan (Peter Pan), Alice (Alice in Wonderland), Pippie (Pippie Longstalking), Mary Poppins (Mary Poppins), Star Girl (Star Girl), Lucy (Narnia), Cat in the Hat (Cat in the Hat), Scott Finch (To Kill a Mocking Bird), Harriett (Harriett the Spy), Tom Sawyer (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer), and final Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice).
Yes, today was an extremely fun day for english majors! I can not wait until next Thursday to see if I have chance of winning a book!!!! I AM SO EXCITED ;-)
