Today Gretel also played with: an empty cat food can and a glow-in-the-dark ball I got at a career fair my freshman year of college which I pulled out from under the couch today (along with four or five other dog toys). I pulled weeds and now I am baking pretzels.
We have the kind of garbage disposal we had my freshman year at college. You would think that the garbage disposal not turning off would be classified as at least semi-emergency, but maintenance didn't come to fix it for at least a month later, after we had also broken the breaker by using it to turn the disposal on and off. At the end of the year I made cookies for a guy in exchange for his help in cleaning it out and he found an earring of Alaina's. Those were the days of many appliance adventures. *sigh*
Last night I worked overtime. I may actually even get paid overtime for it. I've never actually been paid overtime, even though I worked 35 hours some weeks last summer (student limit is 20). Because in the summer, it's 40. Even if you're in school full-time. Jerks.
Speaking of dog, she brought me a [green] tomato and put it on the bathroom rug. I also found the dish with the eggs in it. It was outside. Doggie and I are going to Riverside now to go on a picnic with Rachel and to help her move some of her stuff home.
Had a lovely time in Riverside. Gretel only threw up once. She didn't believe we were going to see Rachel but she was pretty excited once Rachel actually appeared. She also had a good time running around the park tied to a tree with a 25 foot leash. My left arm is quite sunburnt.
I killed my first black widow yesterday (unless you count the one I pointed out to mom, who then killed it). Mom bought me this cool toy that squirts poison up to four feet. Although, it doesn't kill on contact like it says; it takes about 15 or 20 seconds. I've been arming myself with it everytime I go into the garage, just in case that spider comes out again, and I finally got it. The world can go round in safety now, never knowing the danger it was in.
There was a "no broomsticks allowed" sign on the Von's (Vons'? Vons?) door.
People keep asking me when I'm leaving. Next week. No, I don't know when!
Rachel, I wore that "silly" shirt I bought for $7 today and Mom said "that's a really cute shirt." =P
My classes for Summer Term start Monday, June 24th. I am taking Management of Leisure Services and Family History and Genealogy. I think I am going to drop the 1 credit class I was taking to be a full-time student since I didn't get any financial aid requiring me to be so. I'm excited to get back into the "swing" of things. I am once again moving into a new apartment complex and a new ward, with all new roommates and all new everything. I've probably already said that but I don't care. How can people go through college with the same three roommates and I've already had 39?
Kristen called me while I was debating which toothbrush holder to buy at Target. It was fun to talk to her. I became one of those annoying people who talk on their cell phone at the store, until she had to go pick out shoes to go with her wedding dress. It's always something.
One of the most depressing things about driving to Utah is a big fat sign that says "Salt Lake City 547 miles). The only thing more depressing its it's serious!! Mileage signs should not be allowed more than 350 miles away from the destination.
At ShopKo I saw bedding that was also a Twister game. Maybe this is just me, but I don't think people should be encouraged to play Twister on their beds. Speaking of beds, we had to move mine yesterday, and the cinder blocks it stands on. It took FIVE of us, and we still did an inefficient job.
So I still have five credits, my classes start (and run) two hours later and for some reason my Legal Aspects professor is going to be out of town for three weeks.
My very first day at BYU someone told me that by the time I was a Senior I would be stopping in the halls to talk to someone every five minutes. Last Friday I was recalling that and wondering at how I hadn't seen anyone I knew. Well, I've seen lots of people I know now. I just ran into Mike, aka Wall, from my Shakespeare class and Amy, from past and present RMYL classes. We had a lovely chat in the Bookstore. It seems like there are very few boys in RMYL classes and that most of the girls are married. Actually, I don't think all these girls were married when I had them in classes last Summer and Fall. I also saw Cassie Taylor, Cami and two guys from my Sophomore ward.
I have been having lots of fun with my roommates and hanging out in the ward and stuff. We have church at 140 which is an awful time, but the ward is really fun and there are lots and lots of cute guys. We went next door on Saturday night and played lots of games (mostly the kind that offer lame excuses to sit on each others laps or hold hands or laugh at each other). It was a ton of fun. Last night was ward prayer and that was pretty fun too. We hear this is a pretty social ward. My roommates are great. I've actually met them all now. Michelle (22), Angela (21), Laurie (20), Colette (20) and Kyra (17). Laurie is my roommate and keeps going home. Coincidentally enough she is Good Friends with a young man from my freshman ward who just finished a mission to Romania. I tried to teach her something to say to him in Romanian (he got up here last night to start school today) but I wasn't so successful.
I am having a blast. Oh yeah. I get to return the book I bought for the class I dropped and then I'll have spent aproximately $11 on books this semester. woo hoo!
Every single one of my roommates has a cell phone, which is a fairly good thing since our apartment phone sucks. It falls off the table everytime you answer it and the three button (essential to every Provo and cell number) doesn't work. We have a new phone but in my sleep I heard that it won't charge, and therefore can't use it yet. Not that I've used the phone or anything.
I got a tiny crush on him at approximately 928PM, told my roommates at about 933, he came over around 1115, and talked to my roommate a lot (one who didn't know about my crush), I decided he had a little crush on her and got my crush over with, then he calls at 1205 and asks me out. Turns out he came over to ask me out but there were like a billion people in our apartment. So he went home and called me. Isn't that sweet? And I thought it was going to be one of those little crushes you have on the boys who'll never ask you out and can barely remember your name. I've made one (1) friend!
I think I laughed more today than I have in quite a long while. We laughed at everything today. On the way back from the temple dedication, Michelle said "the signs are nagunda". Angela works in a building which also stores bones (really big bones), so we got ourselves nice and creeped out finding the bathroom and then opened the door onto each other, so I screamed, so Michelle jumped. Then this guy at Smith's was scratching his back... and it was just really really funny...
We (a bunch of people in the ward) are going Disco Skating on Saturday night. I invited Shelley to come. We're all pretty excited. We get to dress up and everything. On my date tomorrow, the guys are making us (ok I don't know who "us" is, I hardly know anyone in the ward) dinner and then we are going to the Church History and Art Museum in Salt Lake.
Last night on my date we compared chastity talks, between RS and Priesthood and different wards/stakes. It was an interesting conversation, although probably second to why do girls shed so much?
I had fun getting the rats out of my hair. Sadly, I wasn't even the person with the biggest hair at the disco. My feet hurt. Luckily we don't have church for another 12 1/2 hours. Kyra and I are making cookies before church, and tacos afterwards, for our apartment.
