best day ever.

ok. so I decided to not be such a bum and stay up late only to sleep in late and rush to class every morning. my goal to go to bed and get up earlier didn't go so well as my roommates can testify when my alarm clock went off for an hour yesterday morning (sorry ladies..) but today I was so much more on top of things and I got up at 6 am. ya. be impressed. haha But I felt soo on top of life! I went to my classes and did really well on my presentation (I get to teach a 4th grade class a science lesson I prepared for 2 hours on Nov 11th and today was my run through with my teacher-more details to follow on later days), I made shrimp fettachini andfruit kabobs in my cooking class.. and although I don't like shrimp..it was good. :) and it is soo beautiful right now in Provo. The leaves are so many bright amazing colors and although I drove to school this morning I decided to go on a walk between classes and walked a total of 10 blocks... don't ask. It was just nice jacket weather and I had my Ipod in and life was just PERFECT. I love it! I also made dinner for myself (hamburger hash and green beans) and got some studying in. Tonight. country dancing.

In the words of Brian Reagan... Can life get any better? I submit that it CANNOT! :)

Being a bowling pin...

so this past saturday i was able to be in the BYU homecoming parade. it was a blast. i work at the bowling alley at the bottom of the wilk and we got to walk in the parade as human bowling pins and one human bowling ball. i must say we looked dang good. as it would turn out, we woke up that morning to a mini snow blizzard and since i do not own a white jacket i had to tough the elements and walk in just my few layers of white shirts. it was really fun because occasionally when the parade would get a little boring all us pins would line up in formation and carol, the bowling ball, would run into all of us and we would fall on the ground and all the kids loved it. it was so so much fun. i mean, who gets the chance to walk in their college homecoming parade? and even better than that...who gets to do it as a human bowling pin? only i. :)
