Caller: Hi can I get your farmocology/firmocology department? ( I didn't really know what she was asking for)

Me: One moment *looking through names*...... Wait what department did you want again?

Caller: The pharmacy department...... no wait, not that. The psychology department. *Laughing* Don't mind me.

THE END

Funny, Scary, Just Plain Awesome

That is what describes some of the random (and possibly one not so random) things that I have seen while I've been at Utah State.

#1 and 2 Just last week I was walking up Old Main Hill. This isn't just some small hill. It is pretty steep. I happen to look up as I'm pushing myself up the hill and see something bright yellow pass me. It was a man on a bike. What's so odd about that you might ask? Well he is going full speed on his bike with NO HANDS ON THE BARS. Talk about frightening.

Then just this week there was a guy riding on one of the inner roads on campus and again with no hands on the handle bars he was reading a book! He was doing pretty good balance wise but was constantly weaving all over the place.

#3 This one is just plain awesome. (p.s I colored this picture in paint, one of the funnest things I have done at work)

I walked down the stairs of my apartment complex with another girl just in front of me. We chatted a little bit before we headed up the hill. She was about five feet in front of me. I'm looking at the ground(for some reason, maybe it was interesting) I see something out of the top of my eye(remember i'm looking down), I didn't think anything of it until I hear a small gasp. I look up and the little thing moving in front of me was a little squirrel, just walking right next to this girl! As she took a step, it would hop right along with her. I whispered "that's amazing" and then it ran under a car. According to HeidiAnn, I was walking behind a princess!


# 4 The Scarlet Pimpernel. Although this isn't really random it is just plain awesome. The movie became one of my favorites just this year. So when Heidi invited me to the play I said absolutely. Which was a fabulous answer because I think I love the musical even more. So so so funny and sooooo entertaining. I absolutely adore it! And just this morning as I was walking up the hill there were two guys behind me that were quoting it in the accent of Percy and everything!


#5 I took an exam yesterday. I had studied pretty well and I felt good about it. Once question in particular stuck out to me though. I read it through the first time I looked at it and checked the answer that I believed it to be, thinking that it said "Greek". The second time I looked at it I panicked because I saw "Egypt". I wasn't sure exactly what the answer was anymore. I looked over the options and knew it had to be the one I had chosen previously. Then it hit me. We were supposed to turn in our own multiple choice reading questions from the textbook. This was MY question! And I wasn't sure of my answer! Yep, I'm a genius.


# 6 As I was walking home there was a man running towards my direction at full speed. He was older and as I watched there was a younger kid probably about 9, 10, or 11 jogging after him. The kid was really struggling and the old guy was way far ahead and didn't look phased at all.

Dear Procrastination

.......look what you have with held from me.

When are you going to stop keeping lovely things in life from coming to me?

April to August? Don't you think that's a bit long?

Sincerely, Me

Greatest Gratitude

This past week I had the opportunity to go to Nauvoo with my singles branch. We were gone 8 days. I wasn't really sure before the trip if I really wanted to go but I decided that since it was only $100 I could handle it. Besides, who was I kidding, I love to travel.

Best decision of my life.
Such a beautiful temple.We stopped at a couple sights along the way, such as Liberty Jail, Far West, and Adam-ondi-Ahman. Each place was beautiful in their own ways.

The YSA group was able to wander wherever we wanted to in Nauvoo and do whatever we wanted to do, even if that was to walk to the quarry(if anyone was able to walk that far). There was lots of rain there, that hindered a lot of us from going out and getting an early start on the trip, but we did all venture out and enjoy old Nauvoo. Each of the houses was beautiful and I loved every inch of them and their oldness.

My favorite part of the entire trip however, was Carthage jail where we had constant continuing amazing overwhelming experiences of the spirit.

I watched a King Follet Discourse by the guy in the back and was absolutely stunned. His voice was so good. He was also a great actor. I looked away for a few seconds and looked back and had to look twice because I honestly thought that I was looking at and listening to Joseph Smith for a moment, he was that good at acting. I got to watch the pageant later on and enjoyed it immensely. The ending was so powerful

So powerful that from that moment in the night on I was overcome with overwhelming joy. We walked up to the temple to spend a couple hours sitting in front of it and enjoying the solitude of Nauvoo.

The entire trip I had constant gratitude in my heart for every little thing, despite the heat and humidity and the rain and the bugs, I was always thankful for every breeze, the beautiful trees, the lovely houses, AC, every cloud, cold water, and every other little thing. I'm so thankful even still.

Yep I'm a Complete Nerd

But it's all good. I LOVE Harry Potter. Not the character but the book series. I am so super devastated that it is completely ending. No new books, and now no new movies. I'm feeling excitement but depressment at the same time. It's ridikkulus but, you would be this way too if you read them and became obsessed in third grade. That's practically my whole life! Thanks to HP and great imagination I got to have fantastically brilliant memories during Elementary and Middle school.

Excitement

When I get excited for certain things I get this feeling. It's kinda like going over a hill really fast. It feels so weird but so good at the same time. Today I recognized that I get excited at random times. It's crazy weird. I love it but hate it at the same time, because I can't figure out why I'm getting excited. What am I getting excited for?

I guess I'm just excited about life.

Although I thought that I would share these certain things that I get excited about, mostly just for my benefit. I'm sure there is many many more than these but really when I think about these things I get that roller coaster feeling.

Disneyworld, Disney movies, Harry Potter (I'm completely consumed), Black and white movies or maybe it's just the 20's thru 50's era, Nancy Drew the books and even with all the cornyness the movie (her clothes are just too adorable), Narnia (isn't c.s. Lewis incredible?) Paris, Australia, England, Ireland, Wales, Tuscany, (traveling in general), Forests, and Parasols

I went on a walk today...

...this is how I found myself walking.






minus running across so many people
