DROP IT LIKE ITS HOT!!!

tomorrow begins the 4th week of classes here at BYUI and i cannot freaking take this class any more...

lets start at the beginning of registering for classes.. 

it was so chaotic! i was so stressed out because classes were filling so fast!! i needed 2 credits to be a full time student and could not find ANYTHING!!! until i found this class called "NUTRITION!!" i was so excited to learn and do it! it would be fun! but one problem... it was an online class and my great and wise cousin (KENNA! Doty i love her so dearly and cannot freakin wait for her to come up in spring.. anyways), she told me to not take online classes if i can help it. and in this case, this is the only thing i can find!

little did i know online classes SUCK!! (excuse my language)

it was a 3 credit course and i am doing well in it but it is way too stressful, when i am not IN classes i am supposed to be doing this class 24/7 and i cannot handle it, projects are assigned but you don't find them online until way later (3 days before due) and group projects are too difficult because my computer wont load the adobeconnect that we use to video chat and do the assignments..i saw online friday night that i have until the 29th to drop a class without recieving a "W" on my trascript so the searching for a new class began..

i found an art class that i at first wanted to get into had been reopened! so iwhipped out my phone and emailed the teacher so fast! she emailed me that next morning telling me that i am more than welcome to take her class, i will most likely be behind for the first two meetings but i can easily catch up and do well!! i am so excited!! i am buying my art kit tomorrow and begin class monday at 2pm! i am soo soo soo excited! 

bye bye nutrition HELLO ART!!

i will let you guys know how that goes later this week! i love you guys!!

the First three day weekend of FREEDOM!

so there are these daily texts i get called the "Rexburg Dealios" and on January 17, 2013 i got a text message that said :

Subway:

$.50 for a 6" sandwich

 with the purchase of a

 reg. prices 6"

SL Express:

$50 Round trip to 

SLC. Code

Dealio0117

i saw that and freaked out because it was a three day weekend!! and Dillon had never been to Temple square before!! i thought about the weekend and what was planned, Friday was the concert and Saturday my roommates and i had plans to go to Idaho Falls to go on a little shopping trip ( and i really wanted to go and spend time with them) so i  considered just going Friday after classes the following week, and come back that Sunday, but it expired so if we wanted to make this trip work for this cheap we HAD to act now! (: so i texted my Irish twin Brittany Knudsen and planned out Monday and then BAM Dillon bought the tickets! it was scheduled we were to leave Rexburg on Sunday 4:30 pm and arrive in salt lake at 9:30 that same night!! 

haha i love traveling with this kid!! (: he is absolutely my favorite and i love love love him! he knows how to keep me company!! 

 my moms friend Payslie picked us up in Salt Lake and she was so sweet to let us stay the night at her house! (and for you moms that are freaking out, we slept in two different rooms... don't worry!)

TEMPLE TIME!!!!!!

 here are some BEAUTIFUL pictures of us! and the TEMPLE!! (thank you i phone cameras!)

The four of us walked around temple square, the Joseph Smith memorial, as well as the Beehive house and Lion house. 

here is the gang:

here is my favorite in the visitor center

this was an incredible trip and i am so grateful that we jumped on this opportunity!! it was super amazing!! 

and Dillon says "there aren't really words to describe it, it was almost unbelievable!"

now we are back at home... back to reality... back to schedules, but today (Thursday) we are headed to the REXBURG temple! i am soo excited! 

VoCaL pOiNt CoNcErT!!!

January 18, 2013
oh my gosh! i LOVE college! cheap entertainment but GREAT entertainment (:

Dillon took me to this concert and we were BOTH blown away with how incredible they are!!
it is so mice being on a campus where everyone has the same goals.. school, graduation, and most importantly our salvation! i love it, beginning classes, activities, and CONCERTS with an invocation!! it is an INCREDIBLE spirit!!

days and days and DAYS later!

okay so its been quite a while and i apologize.. but i LOVE my roommates! we have been doing everything together, dancing, dinner (out and at home), joke, and movie nights. in fact this sunday we are planning on building a FORT in the living room after we make our "mexican dinner" and then watch a movie in it!!
the picture on top is Morgan (incredible girl! she is in the nursing program her at BYUI and is in her fifth semester) and on the right is Analiese Nelson she is a goof ball but absolutely the first to put a smile on my face! oh and incase you were wondering... they are doing the "Creep" haha (DONT ask haha)
THIS however... the beautiful cupcake v v   v v     v v    v v    v v   v v vv soo delicous!!

 it is from "COCOA BEAN!" it is this incredible little shop that makes delicious cupcakes and sells AMAZING hot cocoa oh my gosh! for $5 you can get a cupcake and a cup of hot cocoa (: or you can do what Dillon and i do is the "date deal" where for $9 we can get 2 cupcakes and 2 cups of hot cocoa its awesome!! here is a picture of us girls (Me, Chelsea, and Analiese) heading out to run errands and go to cocoa bean ahaha (:

 oh... okay so for the first four days of being up here and going to school i had 3 bloody noses just because of the weather and the dry air and elevation... so i set out to Walmart 1.17 miles in the snow to get myself a humidifier !!! yay!! (now i am just waiting for mom to send me "Breathe" and the flu essential oils) and i am happy to report that i haven't had a singke bloody nose since!!

 here is a quick pic of the four of us out to dinner!

 

okay so this picture is a little embarrassing so let me explain... 7.5 is NOT my max weight!! and 25 are CERTAINLY not Dillons! but this is proof that we are working out! haaha we have made it a goal to go to the gym (everyday) i say as often as we can and so far we have been rocking it!
arms (bi's and tri's) , shoulders (I HATE THOSE), legs, abs, and we have yet to work back (i am too scared... as you all may or may not know i have a bad back like my mother.. ) its not fun!
i am sorry for the short up date, but i have homework, and a long day ahead (VOCAL POINT CONCERT TOMORROW NIGHT!!! WOOOOO!!!) don't worry you will all get to hear about it on Sunday (most likely) when i post again...
i am so happy you guys care enough to bug me about updating i need those reminders! it just gets so busy sometimes, and when i am not "busy" i am napping.. i always feel like i am running around
wake up classes homework grocery store (Did i eat lunch? idk but i ate a snack) then dinner, homework, sleep. all over. so when Thursdays come i sleep in (no classes) and just want to be lazy, do laundry and make food.. but today was ridiculous  i had two meetings, 1 with Brother Merrill about how i can get involved with musicals on or off campus, and he told me about a really great summer program, and auditions are in 3 weeks, but its something i certainly need to pray about before i make a decision here's the link if any of you are curious Play Mill Theater (sorry mom if this is where you hear about it first... this is what i a had to tell you yesterday on the phone but i forgot.. after classes i will be SURE to tell you all about it i need advise)
then i had a meeting for the Cheer/ stunt team (try outs are next week) i am so excited!!!
anyways after that i came home and slept, then went out with dillon and analiese to get dillon a guitar case, and string! what i absolutely love about my roommates is that they LOVE having Dillon around, and love being around him!  well... his ROOMMATES haha my girls are crushing on his guys and his guys like my girls and love flirting with them and spending time with them, haha what can i say (: i got great girls!! (: 
well i really gotta stop procrastinating my homework, off to do math! 
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

...as my good friend Nemo has said "FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!! FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!"

 if you cant see the schedule and you CARE haha i have (on MWF) Math, English and Theater studies... and Tuesday book of mormon with an online nutrition class i can do whenever..
classes were great i have a good feeling about this semester (: i am so excited for my theater class and the opportunities that come with it (:
as for english haha i have a corky teacher.. but my best friend and boyfriend to help me through it! (yes Dillon has the same english class!! exciting right?!)
oh! haah here is a video after a 5 min walk from my theater class to Dillon's apartment ahaha it was so fun walking in the snow!!!

i miss you all so much! but thanks for keeping up with me and my fun at BYU-I (:

January 3rd marks the day that I officially got the key to my apartment.  I picked my room and my bed and began to unpack! I moved in a day early so it was just me and my "crew" (: that was my lovely mommy, brother and grandpa! (:
Here is my complex (and address) (:

HERE is where is got crazy... we had boxes after boxes after one more box coming up two flights of stairs.. HA! oh! did I mention I am on the 3rd floor?   oops! well there ya go ;) my room is 313 (:
ANYWAYS! (: we had boxes for the bathroom, the kitchen, my closet, and my desk for school stuff...the list went on. but OH! it didnt stop there...we went shopping so many times, and I got so stressed, and I just wanted to be done shopping, done unpacking, done walking... I just wanted to sleep.
BUT! i must say if it wasn't for my amazing mother I wouldnt have gotten much done, and so organized right away!
here is my closet:

 

that is half of my closet! i made it fit...kinda... i have two drawers dedicated to my jeans and colored skinnies... (:  and thanks to black friday shopping i got a really cheap and nice printer and i have all of that set up on my desk along with my really cute note pad and pen from my little cousin Megan (:

by now I have my necklaces hanging on my bulletin board along with my "Never let anyone dull your sparkle" poster Brittany got me.. and pictures of Christ, my brother Zachy, my Aunt Chelsea, and Dillon (:

As for "Corky's Corner" i LOVE it! i love my space, my bed, the colors, the "me" thats there... i mean after all it IS mine... (:
