IT'S HALLOWEEN!!!!

Yeah, okay. Pretty much all I wanted to say was already said in the title. But let me say it again. IT'S HALLOWEEN!!! Yay! Seriously like my favorite day of the year is finally here! Just had to share my excitement.

Halloween Parties! Yay!!

So Halloween is my absolute FAVORITE thing ever. It seriously is pretty much the best holiday. Except maybe Christmas......I think Christmas barely beats Halloween. But I am not even sure if it does! Truly, my heart belongs to Halloween. And this year for my favorite day I decided to dress up as my favorite villain. Poison Ivy. From Batman obviously. She is the best. Love her. I have always wanted to be her (okay, always as in maybe three or four years) and it finally happened this year! I found the perfect dress at the D.I. (sa-weet I know) and then my mom did an AMAZING job turning it into a Poison Ivy-worthy costume. Seriously, Uma Thurman would have felt beyond privileged to get to wear this thing.

So I was fortunate enough to be able to wear my costume twice already. Yay! It would be quite sad if I had this fabulous costume that I only got to wear once. Psha. That's be so lame. Anyways. So on Friday I went to a party in Mapleton that my friend's family (Allen's) was throwing and it was pretty much awesome

My lovely peacock friend, Raquelly. Me. (Yes, that is obviously a wig). And Rebecca, my vampire friend who chose to hardly dress up. :) Love you Bec ha ha


Raquel the lovely peacock again. Rebecca the Vampire Dental Assistant...haha. Poison Ivy, world's greatest villain pretty much. Allen the warrior with a fabulous spear.


Peacock and Ivy. (These are pics from Quel's camera...haha)


Allen and Jen. (She's a flapper.)


Vampire, Jonathan (I think he was a mobster maybe?) and of course me! With my homemade mask freaking out...woot woot.


Well, that's enough of that. So on Saturday I had another party. My family party. And since my siblings chose to neglect me in their posts about it, I suppose I have to make sure to put up pictures of me from it. So here we go.







Here's a good picture of my outfit (so you can get just how cool it seriously was.....is.) and my grandma! I absolutely loved her outfit and I love that she is cool enough to dress up! Go Grandma!










Brittany and Jason....don't you love their costumes?! Genius if I do say so myself. Do you get it? Bun maker...bun in the oven...ha ha. I love it dearly. Way to go Preggers. :)











Here's a cute picture of the superhero family! You can't really see it, but Jeff is wearing a Superman shirt and Amber wore a Supergirl cape. And of course you can see Will's super cute little Superbaby onesie! Love it.

Okay, only a few more to go. Here's a pic of Emily the witch, Dani the zombie, and Brycen, my lame brother who chose not to dress up. Hmph. Maybe next year....ha. I'm so funny.


My parentals. Dad...Jack Sparrow. Mom.... the matchmaker from Mulan. Woohoo! I was so glad that they ACTUALLY dressed up this year! Way to be.

Kay, now I just have to end with another one of me ha ha ha. I have to make up for my lack of appearance in other blog posts....hahaha. So, here's the final pic for you. Go Halloween!

Seriously, I vote BYU needs to have Fall Break

So at this lovely time of year when schools are having UEA or colleges are having Fall Breaks, BYU annoyingly has nothing. No break at all. Not even one little day off. I find it very upsetting. Ha ha I really need a break. I'm at the point where I'm just hitting a wall and I can't focus on my classes and I struggle keeping up like a good little student should. :)


This fact is very apparent in the last few days of my life. I didn't do like any homework or studying over the weekend like I should have, and that totally blew up in my face today when I had to take an exam for Nutrition. Ah, Nutrition. The worst class ever. For me at least. Particularly because it's hard and confusing and the tests are pretty bad.


So yes, I am so very smart in choosing this test to not adequately prepare for. I woke up early this morning and studied and then I studied in between all my breaks. Well, tried to study. My lack of Fall Break - hmph! - and my need for a break was in full force today as I couldn't even get myself to study. Still. So instead I spent my whole hour long break in between Book of Mormon and French talking to Jenny about things that most definitely were not on my Nutrition test. I stalled so much with my studying ha ha ha ha. Obviously. Since I even spent that time with Jenny taking pictures of us on my computer. Not very smart, but seriously.....way more enjoyable than studying.


So yeah.....I just felt the need to rant about this for a minute. Now I'm all good and pretty much over it. Not the needing a break, just the irritation. Hope you weren't too bored reading about it. Ha ha.

P.S. Oh, and by the way, don't worry. Regardless of my lack of sufficient studying, I so did not fail the test. I did even better than I did on the last test in that class. Maybe being a bad student/studier is a good thing?

Well that was thoroughly enjoyable

I started, I'm done, and I'm loving it all....yay me

I started! My new job! Yay. I had a wee bit of training last Friday and then I was put to work source checking. For being such a tedious like task, I find it so very fun. I know, I'm crazy a little. But I love it. And I suppose that's really all that matters. I also spent some time on the Maxwell Institute website, getting familiar with it. Tomorrow I will get some training on how to post things on the website because yes, that is part of my job. Woot woot. On Monday I worked again and I pretty much finished source checking the document I was source checking, but I still have a few minor things to do with it. But apparently I will be starting a new project tomorrow, proofreading, that needs to be done by Tuesday. So excited for that! Woohoo I love my job. So ....yeah.....I started and am liking it, no, loving it, so far. Hopefully that doesn't change! It's a little scary and intimidating and all that, but not too bad. So yeah!


I'm done! At the MTC Bakery. I officially baked my last cookies ever (hopefully) at the MTC. It was pretty thrilling when we finished traying up the cookies and I could think to myself "Never again!" Haha. It was even more exciting when I finishing wiping down the tables and freezer doors and could think "This is the last time EVER that I have to do this!" So yes, today was just a big bundle of excitement. It was a TINY bit sad knowing I won't go back (only because it's kinda fun working with the people I work with) but really, I was overall just super psyched. :) I can finally just devote all my work time (BYU doesn't let students work more than 20 hours) to the fabulous internship which I am so lucky to have!

P.S. I found it very ironic that I finally got my name tag at the same time I put in my two weeks notice. It seems only fitting to display it on here as a reminder of what I have moved on from ha ha
