Oh Blessed 21st Century

I haven't had internet since Sunday, and went through SERIOUS withdrawals.  Luckily (after 6 phone calls and becoming very acquainted with Jess from HotSites), the internet people just fixed it :) Hallelujah!! Honestly, I don't know how people survived without technology.  Because if I can't check facebook every hour on the hour I become depressed.  I might need therapy.

Utah=Mormons

How do I know I live in Utah?
  • I get a gift card for an engagement ring on my doorstep
  • When the teacher asks what the mormons believe about self-agency and the whole class answers, "it's "Free" agency."
  • Bridal Fairs on campus
  • 50% of the people I pass are wearing an institute shirt
  • EVERYONE goes to see the Lion King in 3D
  • My hometeachers just walk into my apartment even though we had never met
  • A church speaker comes and we fill the Spectrum
Yep I live in Utah :)

We're So Crafty!

My roommate, Rebecca and I decided that our apartment was much too... blah.  So we took the initiative to set ourselves on a mission.  We traveled to Hobby Lobby and the Dollar Store to load up on supplies.  We then made these wonderful crafts:
The last one is a quote board where we will write all of the funny things we say.  We also picked up some Halloween decorations which we immediately put up, because a month and half ahead of time is SOO not too early.  I am so proud of us. :)

Awkward Moments

So yesterday and today, Kota and me have been ridiculously hiper.  We got to go to the play Annie for one of our classes.  It was full of laughing from making little jokes, walking up ALL the stairs to the cheap college students section, asking people to take our picture, and secretly taking pictures of the ushers that definitely had a love connection. 

Then today, I was texting on my phone and totally tripped down a hidden a stair, practically slammed into some lady with my cart at Walmart, and had a freak attack complete with screaming and running around in the middle of campus when a bee got a sudden interest in me. 

Oh sometimes I am so funny I scare myself.

Packages!!!

Just in case you were thinking your mom is the best.  You're wrong.  Mine is.  This is some of the goodies I've received in the THREE packages I've gotten in three weeks I've been here.  Yay I'm loved :)

Happy Birthday Emme!

All of my roommates ditched out of the town this weekend so I made the executive decision to visit my aunt and uncle in Salt Lake.  I am incredibly proud of myself for navigating the highways both successfully and unharmed.  I only took the wrong exit once :).  Hey for an Idaho girl, that is AMAZING!  Anyways, it was my cousin's first birthday party.  It was adorable and Ses"Emme" Street themed.  I really loved getting to see my aunt, uncle and cousin, and having a break from school work. Hallelujah for weekends!!
