My Life Lately

M Here.
Well folks, I am 20. I finally left my teenage years on thursday january 22nd. WOOHOO!!! SO now it is time to party. In fact, tonight I am having my birthday party. You are all invited. So i feel like a lot of things have happened just in this past week so this post will be a little scatter brained as i try to put it all in here. Sunday Gin made a delicious birthday dinner for me. It consisted of homemade pizza and a delicious cake with all the gossip girl characters on it. She also gave me some amazing presents. She is too good to me. I was super busy all week with school and it finally got to me and I had a break down on wednesday. Thank goodness that is over. Now for the day I know you all really care about.
MY BIRTHDAY!!!
Okay, so I went to work that morning for a couple hours and then decided that I didn't want to be there anymore, although everyone was being very nice to me on account of it being birthday. So I came home, except I didn't have my key with me, so yeah, I was locked out. So I went and played with Jaimie for a couple hours before I had to go to class. It was a lot of fun and I can't wait until I live with that girl. Then I went to woodshop, which I am taking because I have to for my major. And in the process of trying to make a dovetail, I managed to sand half of my finger off. Okay so it wasn't half of my finger but it was painful and there was blood. Then I came home and some of my friends came over to see me, which was very kind of them. Then I went downstairs and watched some gossip girl with Dede and Betsy. Then I went to bed. It was a great day and I am so thankful for my great friends who made it such a great day! I think that is all of the important stuff. Sorry if this post bored you but it is my birthday week so I get to do whatever I want! :)


Weird things I saw on campus yesterday:
3 people wearing sunglasses (it was rainy and overcast...)
And one of then was wearing sunglasses in class...
A kid wearing a fanny pack on the library...
A kid taking the library tour and taking pictures of all the different rooms he went into,
maybe he was trying to figure out where the pretty girls studied....

Well peace out! I have to go get ready to go to park city to star gaze :)
XOXO

Reasons Why SkyHarbor is the best airport

1. FREE Wireless Internet
How I am bloggin at this very moment
2. Friendly Security People
They were so nice, joking with me. And they weren't all uptight about checking my boarding pass and I.D. Also they did not make awkward comments about my license picture...
3. It is in Arizona
Which everyone knows is the best state. Ever.
4. The people watching is SPECTACULAR
The man sitting across form me has suspiciously shiny nails... manscaping anyone?
5. I always see someone I know
Currently I see 2 people I know, and at least 4 others that I know for a fact are going back to BYU. The BYU clothing kind of gives it away...

Really SkyHarbor airport is THE BEST. If you don't agree with me after reading this post, something is seriously wrong with you and you should see a doctor. And in 3ish hours I will be back in the bubble. Wish me luck!

Electric Bird

So here we are, the first day of finals. It is finally happening, no pun intended. I have taken 1 final and have 4 more to go. woohoo... And now, when I should be in the library studying for my New Testament final so I can take it later today, I am in the SWKT creeping on fbook. (I ended up in here b/c I knew where the vending machines were) And I have decided finals are ridiculous. I don't know where a university gets off stressing out thousands of people for a whole week, and making them pay for it! Out. Of. Control. But I am not really stressed out. I have accepted the fact that I am going to have to retake stats, or find a class that will fill the same GE. SO I am really bored and not wanting to study so I am going to do this little game to occupy myself. Hope you all enjoy!
XOXO - M

its true/stairway to hell

this is sarah, and i just wanted to take a moment to endorse m's previous blog post.

around this time one year ago, i was just a sad, single girl, pining for a boy. when lo and behold, my roommate marci descended upon the situation, worked a little magic, and WHABAM. the next day, i had a date with the boy. and now, almost 365 days later (yes, that's a year), here i am, still dating that SAME BOY. miracles do happen, ladies and gents. marci can help.

**my name is sj, and i approve this message.



hokay, so, i would like to take this opportunity to blog about the stairway to hell, aka the stairs south of campus. ok, i know that they are necessary since byu is way uphill from everything south of campus, but i can still hate them. especially in the morning. when you're tired. and its cold. and you have an insanely heavy backpack. UGH.


ok, well my initial experiences with these stairs were winter semester and usually took place at night. cody would come and get me from my apartment when he would get home from work, and then we'd walk down to will and justin's apartment, which was in liberty square, which is south of campus. then, on the way home (which was usually between the hours of 1 and 3 a.m....in the freezing cold) we'd get to go up the stairs. usually cody had to pull me up the last few sets because i was about ready to lay down and die.

now i get the neverending joy of going up the stairs every weekday for class, and every sunday for church. you would think that after going up the stairs for, oh, FOUR MONTHS, you'd get used to them. NEWSFLASH: you don't. they still suck as much.

joyful will be the day that someone invents outdoor escalators and byu installs them in place of the endless stairs between campus and south campus.

Matchmaker, Matchmaker make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch

M here.
I just wanted to share with you all something I have discovered about myself. I am a matchmaker. And I have a few experiences which can back me up on this statement. And they have all occurred since I have been in college. And currently I am in the midst of working my magic to get another couple together. But for some reason I can't seem to set myself up with anyone. Too bad my powers don't work for me. Maybe one day I will find someone who has powers like mine and they can find me a man! Until then, I am content making happy couples out of my friends. So if you need some help snatching that special guy or girl, let me know. I should be able to help! This is the season for miracles, so if you think that is what it would take, now is the time folks!
