Adventures of finals week

gee whilackers there's been A LOT going on! yesterday night was quite possibly the funniest night of my life.

tara played with my hairs. and did some pretty sweet stuff with it!

then betsy decided she wanted to take dexter on a walk. so she made him a leesh. Tara held him while she tried to put it on him and he just slipped right out of it and then he threw up!!!! it was so so so gross! and his up chuck was whole pieces of his food! That kid needs to learn how to chew. here is a picture of it.

can you believe that tiny sexy dexy could throw that much up!??

Taco tuesday was soo good.

"they're both men." "well.... sorta." hahaha.

after this Betsy and Melissa decided they wanted to go to walmart and buy hair dye. So now, they both have darker hair. Our walmart adventure was great.

lauren- "where the heck is fred!!? i just need some big cereal boxes! ***pace pace pace pace**** jordans here!!"

Betsy- "I don't care if they're the sport kind! i just need them small!!!"

Melissa- "don't tell them it's your stuff! it's mine i get a discount!!!!"

me-"Why the heck did we not get a basket? my arms are going to fall off!"

the way home was the most epic part of the whole night though! i called shot gun, and then betsy stole it so i sat on her lap. And then Lauren thought she was missing out and so she climbed in on top. so here we are, 3 full grown girls, all piled into the little front seat. And so of course there wasn't anything better to do than take pictures. haha here are some of them-

the roof of cars isn't high enough to get good above pictures. but there is one left eye one right eye and a nose and mouth. so together we have a whole face here.

and then lauren dyed Melissa's hair and i did Betsy's.

here is Melissa's before

and Betsy's before-

isn't she a babe??

and here is their after

aren't they hot sexy mama's??

then today, i had my final critique!!! and good news! i had the best critique of my life! I haven't really had an awful awful one before, but mine today was crazy! I had no idea that they would think my nature work was "strong". i told them that most of my work is portrait and i was in new territory with the things i did this semester and that i wanted to go back to portrait work. they asked me why i did because my work was really good from landscape/nature/stuff. I was SO worried about the critique because i've seen everyone else's work in the class and they are ALL so amazing! I guess i was being a little harsh on myself??..... It's still like this daze 'cause i had no idea anyone thought it was that good. Especially my dark room stuff.

Then i came home and packed. And all my pictures and decorations are off my walls. :'( it's so sad!! I'm nearly done packing now too. so that's good.

And then I decided i'd finally suck it up and get the hair cut i've been wanting to try for a year. And so i cut my hair off!!

before. my hair!!!

I once was a mermaid club member. no longer.

at this point i think i was scared for my life. remember- i have a terrible phobia of getting my hair cut!!

i LOVE my bangs. but i wish my hair was just a little longer. But it'll grow. her tis. i'm in a tshirt cause i was packing so i'm not really that pretty in it, but i'm fine with it.

and this is the pile of my hair. RIDICULOUS!! haha.

and here i am.

i really like it. it'll take time to get used to though that's for sure!

hopefully tonight we are going to howl at the library. i'll let you know what that is tomorrow. stay tuned. :D

exciting stuffs are hapnin'

Last night makes my top five bravest things i've ever done list. probably makes the #1 actually!

I went to my last monday night of country sing dancing and i FINALLY! asked a cowboy to dance. :D It was my goal all year and i finally did it. The thing is, he was a REAL cowboy. not the fake kind that go there, a real real real one. His family owns a dairy farm. :D And he was sooo nice too! Like the kind that make me really like cowboys. Anyways, he asked me if i knew what i was doing and i said no. {cause i'm not really that good at dancing} and he said, "good, cause neither do i." that was the biggest fib of all time! he was waay good. And the thing was, he was good at having a conversation while dancing. Normally when swing dancing the guy i'm dancing with will ask a question and i can never hear it properly or he won't be able to understand my answer because for one, it's loud and also you're not really ever face to face. When he'd ask me a question, he'd pause in the middle of a move and just wait for me to finish my answer. This may sound like it'd be awkward, but it was not. I'm doing a bad job at describing this but it was a fun dance. And after i was over we stood and just talked for a few minutes. And he is a really awesome cowboy. :D

anyways then at the end of the dance Melissa and Betsy, and Gregory Peck made me give him my phone number. I was sooo not going to do. i was ridiculously nervous. I've never just walked up to a guy and handed him a piece of paper with my name and number on it before but i did it! and i probably sounded ridiculous because i might have said something like, "so this is kinda odd but i had fun talking to you tonight you should call me sometime." but then after i freaked out in the parking lot and nearly hugged greg i thought back to what i said and it might have gone more like this--, "so this is kinda odd but i had fun sometime you should give me a call tonight." yeah, he probably thinks i'm a skank. i really don't remember exactly what i said, but i hope it wasn't the second one. All i know is that i am proud of myself for asking him to dance and for giving him my number. :)

today has been pretty good so far too!

i woke up today and went to the institute for "Cram and Jam" aka free food. i was helping betsy and melissa study for their "energy in the environment" class final that was in a few minutes and when we were walking out i jokingly said, i should take the test with you! and they thought it was a good idea. So i went to their class and took the test. There were like tons of questions right off the study guide. I'm now hoping that they will send me my results!! it would be the most awesome thing ever if i just passed it! haha. it was definitely the first time i've ever taken a test as a joke and probably the last. It was kinda nice because i didn't have to worry about doing well and wasn't stressed at all! :D

Last taco tuesday of the semester tonight at cafe rio!! :D

fast sunday, Ryder, Photo, and some good cookin'

Yesterday was so excellent!! {even though i had a sore throat!} I am going to try to start being better about Sundays. I hear everyone saying how wonderful their weeks are going by not doing anything they normally would do on Sundays like homework and the computer etc. I don't think i do anything necessarily bad on Sunday, i just am thinking i could be better.

So, yesterday i did some really good things. I read my scriptures, i read like a third of my favorite book, i cooked a nice meal with Betsy, i went to church, and went to ward prayer. It was the perfect Sunday!

My favorite book- Dusty Britches, by Marcia Lynn McClure. I would definitely recommend it to you. I find that i become a big sap after i read it though. I hate it when i am done because i just want to read about Ryder and Dusty a lot longer. I find that I wanting to talk to myself while i read this book. I probably look like a lunatic but it's not a big deal. :D

this is me nearly 3 years ago with Marcia. Love her.

I'm done with my photo portfolio!! woohoo! so now, the only thing standing between me and being done with my first year is my final critique on wednesday morning! :D

Betsy told me that i should do the Julie and julia blog thing because i cook so much lately. Too bad duck and all those other things are ridiculously expensive! Maybe i'll do my own version. I think next school year i will try to make a new recipe once a week. {not this summer because i'll be home and am going to take full advantage of having mommy cooking for me again. :P}

this is Garlic and lime chicken fajitas.

see the back left burner?? yeah that is enough rice to feed africa.

this is salmon. YUM!! it tasted soooo good! :D

I got a card from my grandma on saturday. It was for finals week. :D my grandma is the cutest thing ever! I guess my mom told her that i had a sore throat yesterday and i get a cute email from her too. here 'tis-

i just love her. She always types in all caps. these are the ways i can tell if it is from grandma- if we get a package in the mail and it is taped together with duct tape it's from grandma, if i get an email in it's all caps, it's from grandma, if i get a letter and her "a's look like this-

{that is the best one i can do but it's not exact}, it's from grandma. if there are american flag stickers on the envelope, it's from grandma. If it has cute little inspirational stories and quotes in it, it's from grandma, if it's a forwarded email, it's from grandPa! haha.

well, "i'm going to go.......shave". haha. name that movie.
