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

quote of yesterday-

" But hopefully he'll have better aim than i do!"-Betsy

0 darkroom prints
0 classes
1 final critique
1 taco tuesday
30 clean check items
15,382,679.04 items to pack

By far the bestest Wednesday of the semester.


I really should not be blogging right now but instead should be-- drawing/painting/SLEEPING/dying. But i had a really good day so i must blog and not break my habbit. :D

First off {the bad part of the day} I slept zero hours last night. Honestly. I tossed and turned and then tossed some more. Poor Betsy, she probably got waaay less sleep last night because of me squeaking the bed and such. {sorry moo... i mean Betsy :P} Anyways i decide to get up an hour early cause i couldn't sleep anyways and to get to the photo lab and work on stuff before class started/before Taylor got here. But all the developer was gone, and the powder stuff to make new developer was locked up and so there i sat in the photo lab for an hour doing nothing of worth. I'm trying sooo sooo hard to get ahead and finish all my portfolio before no test week and nothing is working in my favor. *sigh* It's fine, i know things will work out. note to self- Don't give up, have more faith. Okay i'm good now.

Anyways, i came home and then Taylor got here! woohoo! He came with a gift for betsy- a cow mug that is standing on 4 utters. {this is a long story, one that i am too tired to write about right now. If you want to hear about it leave me a comment and i'll tell it tomorrow} Anna and Brian, and Melissa and greg and Betsy and i went to the Bluebird restaurant for lunch. It was good and i had leftovers {score! no cooking dinner tomorrow! :P} the best part of this was A-betsy "spilling" her butter and ice water so she had to move seats, and B- Greg, Taylor and Brian trying to figure out what "LMH" is.

After that Taylor wanted to drive to the temple and walk around. to which we walked around at least twice. it was pretty fun. He wanted a picture but his camera was dead which means i have all the pictures which in return means that i can do with them as i please. ;) haha. I sang him the song You're So Vain because he wanted lots of pictures of himself. I told him they'd end up on facebook. But here are only 2. and i'm in 1 of them. So i am being nice. Especially because he looks drugged in one of them. lol

i'm sorry but this is a legit picture. {and i'm a big fan of his orange socks}


here is we.

#1 thing Taylor said here- "it's just so big!" haha.

Well then i took him around campus and showed him the big things. {i'm pretty sure he's going to come up to school here now because i'm that persuasive lol. :P} Then he met Laurenita. Showed him the art building and then i had to go to my class. Which was SOOOOO pointless. All we did was watch a long movie on Alfred Stieglitz. And don't get me wrong, i love the man and his photographs are pretty epic, but i learned all about him in high school.
*****cue goodnews***** confession- I Brianna, the one with blue eyes and brown hair, have never ever ever fallen asleep in any class ever. Not in preschool, not in grade school, not in jr high, not in high school, not in college.
that is- until TODAY!!!!!! this is not a joke. In all seriousness. I have the inability to fall asleep when people are watching me/when a teacher is teaching/ being at a table with chairs/ in a classroom setting. But i totally fell asleep today during that uberly boring movie! When i woke up i honestly felt like doing a dance. I just needed some good music and i would have. Betsy was so proud of me! I was so proud of me. And then the heavens cried snowflakes of happiness for me.

only i wish i wouldn't have made them cry, Because it was such a nice day today and i highly doubt Taylor enjoyed driving home in it. In fact, he told me himself like 40 cajillion times. lol

The group went to wendy's and then to Aggie ice cream where i semi found out what conversations went on in my apartment while i was in class. Which still makes me on the nervous side of the spectrum....and at this point i felt like dying.
So i came home, took some drugs, and put sweats on and Betsy's rainboots. I don't know why this has anything to do with anything else in this post but it made me happy. :D
It was an all around wonderful day.

and here are two funny quotes that i heard from my roommates while writing this blog. I do it because i love them.

While studying for a genetics test in Biology Betsy said,
"the only useful thing i have learned in biology is why i can't marry my cousins."

After coming home from work and talking about all the mistakes she made today Melissa said,
"and.... i think i broke an egg..... but i didn't check to see if i did...."

And now Brianna is going to repeat one letter 100 times {and yes there are really one hundred.... but you should count just to make sure i'm not lying.}

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Nude man, eating slugs, first win, fun weekend.

Man, i have all sorts of stories for ya'll!! A couple days ago i went to these people's house and played garage band. And i can play the guitar on medium now! {this is impressive- i stinketh at all video games! give me a break okay? lol} Anyways i was sick of being there and we were leaving!!! so i go up the stairs and there is this naked man. naked man, "i hope you guys don't mind my nakedness." betsy, "oh, it's fine...." me, "this is so not fine!!". Okay, he was in boxers.... but they were awfully tight and short boxers. and then i walked out the door before i could see anything else i DID NOT want to see. Can i just tell you that this was an awkward moment! if i had an awkward moments journal this would so make it. {why don't i have an awkward moments journal?!?! } Lizzy walks down stairs and tells everyone that there is a naked man in the living room. and they said, "oh, he's naked again?" like it's a common occurrence in the house for him to be COMPLETELY nude?!?!?! some people's children.
I was sitting on the couch today watching "the prince and me". {Because that movie is cute! how does one go about finding an attractive Denmarkian {man from Denmark of course...} prince??? Anyways... when my roommate Ashley says, "i had a dream about you last night." so she tells me about how there was this clear-ish slug on her basement wall of her house and how i ate the slug! and then there were more and more of them and i just kept eating them..... haha. How do our brains even come up with this stuff?
Last sunday i was taking a nap in between conference sessions and Melissa was doing something in her closet. her closet is connected to Betsy and i's wall where we have our pictures of Christ and the temples and other such spiritual stuff. Anyway she hit the wall hard enough that 3 of our pictures flew off the wall and made me nearly fall off my bed! Which brings me to this morning. We have a full length mirror on one of our walls and this morning it decided it didn't like being on the wall anymore! So once again i have a heart attack because the heavy, large mirror comes tumbling down to the ground and bounced like 3 times! I still am in complete aww as to how it didn't shatter. I think we had an earth quake here or something. Anyways, i think that next my ceiling will fall down. If i stop blogging ever you will know that this is what happened.
Tonight we planned a surprise birthday party for Lauren. :D We were trying to figure out how to get her here with out being super suspicious. And so we go pick her up and go to wendy's instead of straight to my apartment. Lauren asked the drive thru guy if he'd tell her happy birthday and he sang her happy birthday instead!! It was seriously the cutest thing! And then he gave her this fancy smchancy strawberry shake thing FOR FREE!! i think every saturday is going to be someones birthday and guess where we're going?!?! WENDYS! Forget chuckie cheese and riding the bull thing at texas roadhouse when you have an attractive wendy's employee sing to you!
{"can you just suck my cherry off for me?!" haha}
classic.
we played some serious wii dance tonight too! and guess what?!?!? I WON MY FIRST EVER GAME OF IT! it was a time for celebration. i think my luck with electronic video game device shin digs is seriously increasing!
Lizzy gave her this.
this is lauren blowing out a lighter because we didn't have candles.
And here is another funny Youtube video. I am going to join this choir when i reach seniorhood/retirement. I think that i am grateful for people who have creative minds. Because it keeps me entertained when i just don't feel like doing my homework. {mom- that was a joke. i still do my homework first. Always. :D}
I was so excited to go to my own singles ward today! It has been five weeks! :D i missed them. i hope my ward this summer is as great.

loving life because





  • i can now say that i have traveled in a car at more than 100 MPH. in fact is was more than 125 MPH. And i thought i was going to die. Funny thing is, Greg, (Melissa's friend who's now all of our friend) passed a police officer right when we got back down to the normal speed limit. He thinks it's hilarious to scare us. I can only handle driving with him once a month i've decided. my poor heart.

  • We went the entire year (again) at the spectrum with ZERO loses. :D that's right. It's good to be an Aggie. 4 years WAC champions.


  • But even better was that i got to meet (and he touched me :D) Matthew Formisano. It was MORE than a big deal. I've been drooling over him all season. and good news number two! i got a picture with him. It's fine, he's like 18 inches taller than me. i told my mom this and this was her reply, "well at least you could check for lint in his belly button." thanks mom, way to be positive there. :D if only he knew how much i loved him. :'(
  • I finally got all my mat board for the semester. It's only like 3 dollars every picture. There's something about the photo department thinking i am rich or something. News flash, because of you i'm not even close to it!
  • I got ash's wedding announcement in the mail today.

  • i finished another wedding announcement file today. I can whip those bad boys out like it's nobodies business!
  • Anna get's married this week and i get to do some temple pictures for her!
  • I get to go home on saturday!!
  • and get to hang out with Taylor again! woot! Probably one of the funnest guys i know. :D
  • In exactly 1 week i will be in California. and going to the beach, and to the Price is Right, and to Hollywood, and to the Getty Museum of Art. and staying in Beverly Hills. :D it will be a party in California.
  • Taco tuesday is. TONIGHT! wooohooo! i just love taco tuesday! :D
  • I'm taking ash's bridals at this place. isn't it awesome!!!?! (jealous much) i would be if i were you.

  • My painting class was canceled all but an hour on thursday.
and drawing 2 was completely canceled! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Cannot even explain to you how exciting this is to me.

My name is Brianna and I'm just kinda feelin good about life right now. :D

this one time.....

so in college i have a lot of "this one time" i...... you fill in the blank (cause i probably have done it).
college is full of doing things that are weird events....or random things.....or even dumb things....or just plain firsts.
in honor of this i will now blog about a few.....

so this one time.... betsy and i went grocery shopping at 11:30 at night. and we also had to walk across a wood plank that could have easily broken under our weight sailing us into the dreaded canal. (which was probably only 4-4.25 inches deep) i'm not kidding you! This is NOT a joke. We could have walked around the canal, but it would have taken at least 3 minutes longer to do. And when you are carrying groceries (including a gigantic gallon of COLD milk) 3 minutes seems like half an eternity. but luckily we have really good balance and didn't fall into the nasty slimy canal.

also
this one time..... we didn't fall through the ceiling while trying to get into the attic.... 'nuff said.

this one time..... we beat the socks off of BYU!!!!!! (which is a first in 17 years!!!!!) and we rushed the field and partied like it was 1999. (by going grocery shopping cause no one showed up to the after game party... which i still don't understand why)

this one time...... i made a birthday cake in the shape of lips. why you may ask? i'll answer with a question to you- WHY NOT?!

also this one time i FINALLY got to go home for conference! And i found several things- 1 that Quinton has seriously grown up! like he's gotten at least 2 inches taller and his shoulders are getting so dang broad! gee whiz it's weird how much he's changed in only 5 or so weeks. 2- mom's still a fantastic cook. i enjoyed really good home-cooked meals that probably made me gain back 2 of the 10 ish pounds i've lost since starting school. But it was worth it. And i even ate veggies (which are a non existent thing in most of my meals. 3-that i sincerely missed being at home and laughing at old memories until my sides hurt, playing BS with the fam, my grumpy dog, shopping with my sisters, and just my house. (even though my room has emilie's stamp on it now. :(

this one time i did what i know to be the right thing. and it was absolutely ridiculously hard. And i cried and probably had swollen, blud-shot eyes for 2 days straight. I think if i would have known how hard it would be before i did it, i wouldn't have done it. So it's good i didn't know because i got the reassurance that i needed during Lawrence's conference talk. But it doesn't make it any easier.... well, at least not that much easier.

this one time i made some mean jumbalaya!! and everyone thought it tasted good. :D cause it did. And i savored it (actually it was gone in like 5 minutes) but still...

these one times i had the weirdest conversations abut things that i never ever needed to know.

anyways, that's some of college. I really enjoy my sleep, TV dinners, conversations with people from home, and have learned even more about trusting the spirit and relying on prayer and knowing even more that the gospel is true and that missions are of utmost importance especially to young men.

it's now past my bed time (okay it's actually before i usually go to bed, but it would be a good thing to get to bed before midnight occasionally right?...)

day four- coulee to seattle

So we went and ate at the R&A Cafe for breakfast in coulee dam. i was there ALL the time in grade school! Karah's (my BFFFFFF from gradeschool) parent's owns it and we would go and sit in the big freezer in the summer time to cool down. I miss those carefree days. Food is excellente though.

and then we left coulee and headed to seattle. we got to bellevue and went to the seattle temple there. it was really pretty too!

We checked into our hotel room

see.... we DID pack light!

and then we went to the boardwalk in downtown seattle!! o my heck i love seattle. we played owl city's hello seattle as soon as we saw the city. and we went to several places downtown like pioneer square where a guy tried to hit on us. (what the heck? seriously, do we really look like that the kind of girls?) and even to the local radio shack because Jane died on us. (the GPS)

after this we went to alki beach!! it was so so sosososo! cool!
seriously! i love the ocean!

we also saw a lighthouse there too!

and then we went to bed.

funny quotes of the day:
"Alright, this is going to be epic!!! get ready.... PEANUT BUTTER!!!!" -sara (the longest bridge ever!)
"O look! there's people making out! do you think we could find someone to make out with us?" -sara "Yeah, probably."-Lauren
"it looks like we're going to africa for 8 weeks!"-Me
"ROSALINDA! do you have a younger son?!"-Lauren (ha ha!!!)
"you have a hair hanging out of your sandwhich..."-Betsy "no i don't...(holds up to light)..... EWWWW i do! it's white!"-Lauren "It's probably sara's"-Betsy
"do we know our tequilla?"-Sara "NO! we should go and take that class!" -betsy
"okay, i'll make a deal with you. i'll feed you if you don't lick my hand"-Lauren to betsy

Day threeee- just coulee dam

july fourth was a good good day. :D

us painting our nails for church
I got to go to church at my old building. the building that i was baptised in, the building where i first started gaining my testimony, the building i went to achievement days in, the building i miss with people i missed! One man, Brother Edwards is really sick and probably won't live much longer and i gave him a big hug and i was so glad i got to see him! He is such a cool guy! former deputy sheriff of the town. I played a musical number in sacrament on the piano and even bore my testimony, which i really should do more often. I seriously LOVE my ward there! I think i am closer to the people there than i am in my ward now. You will never find a better ward than that one.
After church we took the dam tour. (of the dam) It was fun, but i wish the incline elevator would have been working. the weirdest part was that there people in our tour from orem!! it was crazy weird!

one mile long

then we went back to my grandparent's house for a BBQ

us in our bibs so we don't get stains. :D my grandma thinks of everything!

and then we went to the city festival thing and saw elvis. :D

what a hunk of burnin love. :P
and we also went to the visitor center there and played with some of the stuff there.

then finally the lazer light show started!!! it never gets old. i've seen this show so many times in my life and i still love it! it's an experience like none other!

Right after the show the fireworks started! It's not the biggest show ever but it is cool to see them off the off the top of the dam. :D


after that we walked home across the dreaded bridge of death and some drunk guys asked us to go with them and we said heck no. It was a really fun time. lauren fell asleep right when we got home.


i love my gparents!


this is my old house. look at the old key!!!


Funny Quotes of the day:
"ugh! i bought the cigarettes last time!"-lauren

senior trip day numbero uno (orem to Idaho falls to missoula montana)

The past month has been the absolute bestest month of my life thus far! I have no idea where to even begin!
Okay i really do know where: SENIOR TRIP!!
so this blog post is dedicated to the best trip i've been on! the first day of it. i'll do a post on everyday i think.
I never knew how much time it took to plan for a trip! There's the hotels, the activities, the food, the gas, the bus systems, the "how to use pepper spray" talk from grandpa, The "act like you're married when checking into a hotel" talk from mom, and every other piece of advice that EVERYONE was more than willing to share. The funny thing is that none of them were the same. Everyone had different advice for the most bizzare of situations that i'd never heard of and definitely did not happen on our trip.

But everytime i just nodded and said "What a good idea! I'll have to try that!" lol.

So the morning that we left was great. Betsy assured everyone that the trunk of her car would be plenty big. If i could give my advice to anyone traveling with 4 "light packer" teenaged girls it would be to get good at tetris. By the time our trip was over we had packing that trunk down to a very literal art!




The first day we headed to montana. we got to stop for lunch in idaho falls. we saw the beautiful temple (they're all beautiful though!) and the falls as well. i chased some ducks, took just a few (yeah right) pictures and then we were off to MONTANA! (land of the cowboy!)




on our car ride we all played the kissing test game on my itouch. :D it was really funny and i think i still have lip prints on it. But who cares! It was good practice for the future right?..... (just kidding dad, i'm never gonna do nasty stuff like kiss) :P


Montana is beautiful! sigh. I kinda might a little itty bit might want to live there one day! we got to missoula and we went to "cara's park" we rode a carousel and my horses name was Evansgone. i always get the horses with ugly names. (you will see)
It was fun.



then we went to the park next door and it was designed by kids apparently! Pretty sweet. I'm a fan of montana i tell you!


After that we checked into our hotel where i was supposed to be pretending i was married (and i was considering doing it that is until) the checker in guy in the lobby was seriously drop dead attractive! and i'm not just saying this! cause all four of us wanted to keep going back and asking questions so we could look at his face. And i talked to him for a while cause he kept telling me things we should do in seattle! and i listened. :D we wrote a compliment card for him in our hotel rooom. :D

yes, that does says hot guy at front desk. deserves a raise. :D don't worry, those aren't are real numbers. :D too bad though. And to think.... HE COULD HAVE BEEN A COWBOY! :(

then we walked around downtown missoula and i liked their fire hydrants. :D They were OHS colors.

then we ate dinner and filled up our trash can in record time. It looks like we could have gotten rid of half our trunk full of stuff with this trash can full of stuff. the sad thing was that the trunk was not any less full the next morning when checking out. O and hot stuff wasn't at the desk in the morning either. :(
