So I've been sick since Monday. And I don't feel like doing homework. So, I guess I shall blog.
1. BYU vs. UCLA. Sorry to start on such a sad note. So...my grandpa and I drove down to the Honda Center in Anaheim to see the anxiously awaited game. It was part of the John Wooden classic. Tangent: John Wooden was truly a phenomenal individual. I have SO much respect for him. Watch this video. It's good. Anyway, UCLA ends up winning. Super depressing. But then again, could you expect UCLA to lose the first year after John Wooden died? Of course not. John Wooden was obviously up above pulling strings. Ha. :)
2. Driving in the rain. Quite the experience. Comparable to walking to school in the snow. Ha. I got more than enough experience driving in the rain over Christmas break since it didn't stop raining for about the first week. I got to experience slight hydroplaning. It was even so bad at one point that people were going about 50 on the freeway. You know it's bad when California drivers drive under the speed limit on the freeway. One of the most fun experiences was probably having people drive by and huge wave of water obscuring my view completely.
3. Typewriters. I think they are super cool. My grandpa used to have quite a few at his furniture store for whatever reason and they were always fun to play with. However, that is not the point of #3. The point is across the street from Rocky Cola Cafe in Montrose, there is a typewriter repair shop. It repairs other things as well, but typewriters is still listed on the sign. Really? When is the last time someone actually brought in a typewriter to be fixed at that shop? Even if people still own typewriters, there's no way they still actually use them and need them to be fixed.
4. Weddings in the rain. My cousin Melissa just got married over break. It was raining on the day of her wedding. And I decided weddings in the rain are great! First of all, it's not hot. Second of all, my hair curls excellently. Third of all, you can take cute umbrella pictures. I guess those are the only reasons. Ha.
5. Frechicko Grill. What the heck?! That is the name of a restaurant on the main street where I live. Is it supposed to be a combination of "fresh" and "chicken"? Bizarre.
6. Carrie, Nick, Justin, and I went to Knott's Berry Farm with some of our cousins on Christmas Eve. On our drive down, Justin says, "Ryan Dempster. Why did I just say that?" Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. What in the world?!?! For those of you who do not know, Ryan Dempster is a professional baseball player. After this outburst, we all decided that Justin's brain must just be baseball players flashing all the time. Oh Justin. :)
7. Engraving your name on a grain of rice. A common attraction at theme parks. What a great way to make a profit. Think about it. First of all, rice is not very expensive. Second of all, how is anyone going to be able to tell if there name is actually engraved on the rice. Third of all, it would be a miracle if you did not lose this prized grain of rice by the time you go home that night. Thus, it is a complete waste of money for the buyer, but a genius idea for the seller because having your name engraved on a grain of rice just sounds cool. Ha.
8. Ghost Rider. I finally went on the infamous wooden roller coaster. Some how I had avoided it all the other times I'd been to Knott's. It is a very painful roller coaster. It reminds me of Colossus at Six Flags. Why do people continue to go on wooden roller coasters? They put their own health at risk every time.
9. Toward the end of the day at Knott's we were walking past the theater where they have a show on ice about Snoopy. I remembered going to see it when I was younger. So I pointed out to my siblings and cousins that they were having "It's Christmas, Snoopy" On Ice (the title of the show). All of the sudden, this little kid walking by us (he was probably four or five) said, "No, actually it's Christmas Eve." Hahahaha. Sorry kid.
10. On Christmas morning, Leah received roller blades and the appropriate knee and elbow pads. She was wanting to go try them out so my mom was helping her put the pads on. Leah wanted to put the knee pads on under her pants. So we proceeded to try and explain why you put them on the outside of your pants. My mom said, "They're gonna rub you raw." To which Leah replied, "They're gonna rub my what?!" Hahahahhahahaha. Hilarious. You probably had to be there.
Well hope you enjoyed at least 3.19 percent of that entry. :)

Not a priority.
I haven't blogged in a long time and couldn't resist any longer! Ha. Highlight of the day: Condoleezza Rice came and spoke at BYU today! It was really great!!! Alright, now to catch up on a long list of things to blog about. Don't worry, I'll stop at ten like usual.
1. Closing tabs. This is the best part of finishing a research paper. I love using tabs while surfing the internet which is probably why I especially like Google Chrome. However, while writing a research paper using a variety of online sources, the tabs can sometimes be and often are very overwhelming. Thus, I feel a great sense of accomplishment when I can close each tab after I finish writing a research paper. Yes. I'm weird.
2. Six pages in Spanish. Not extremely long. But hey. I consider it an accomplishment. Despite my disdain for research papers or really any type of paper at all, I am proud to say that I can actually write formal long papers in a second language. Now as far as speaking goes...that's another story. Ha.
3. Meat. Before every ESPN highlight video there is a commercial you they force you to watch. One of the popular ones awhile ago was for Applebee's. In one part they were cutting some type of meat and at that moment all I wanted was some good meat. I'm not a fan of cooking meat at college mostly because I'm lazy. This is probably why this meat looked so appealing. Don't worry. I have successfully purchased some protein this semester. :)
4. Large Christmas tree. Outside our apartment in the quad is a very large Christmas tree. It is probably 20 feet tall. People from my ward advertised free tree removal service on Craigslist and found someone who had this tree in their yard. So we cut it down and brought it here. It's even decorated and has a star on top. And it looks super pretty with the snow on it! I am not sure how long it is going to stay there. In fact, I thought it would be gone by now. But I'm not complaining. :)
5. A friend from one of my classes offered me a ride to the airport since he and his sisters had a flight at the same time as I did. I was to meet at his sister's apartment which is about fourish blocks away. Not a big deal. However, this meant I had to drag my humongous suitcase down a somewhat busy street in cold and snowy conditions. I must have looked completely ridiculous. I hope I made someone laugh. :)
6. Provo Tabernacle. The morning I left for home, I found out the Provo Tabernacle had caught fire and was pretty much completely destroyed. So sad. First of all, it was a super cool building! Second of all, it could have very easily been the oldest building in Provo. Third of all, my choir had a whole bunch of concerts scheduled there this semester. We had to reschedule our concerts and cancel one of them completely. And guess when our big concert is scheduled? Yep. On the same exact night that the Lakers will be playing in Salt Lake. Not. Good.
7. I got to the airport just in time to wait in a big line. Luckily it went fast. Of course my suitcase was 53 pounds. Luckily I brought an extra duffle bag since I thought this might be the case. Then I got to wait in a nice long security line. That went semi-fast too. And one of the security guys said that the BYU basketball team had just been there. Too bad I missed them. I even got to go through one of those new body scanner things that everyone makes such a huge fuss about. Not a big deal people. I'd rather lose a little privacy than have someone sneak a weapon of some sort onto a plane. Oh and it seems like every time I fly out of Salt Lake, my flight leaves from the farthest away possible gate. They must hate me.
8. Once I landed at the great LAX, we taxied around the airfield for probably a good half hour. Weather conditions plus construction made for a very scenic route to our gate. We were supposed to be early. I think we ended up being late. Ha. I even contemplated taking a nap while we were taxiing.
9. Upon arrival to my dad's office at LAX, I was invited to eat part of the biggest burrito you have ever seen. It was probably eight feet long. You cut a small slice of it and it was as big as a normal burrito. It was so good! I guess they got it from some place called the Burrito Factory. It was an excellent welcome back to California. :)
10. Rain. From the moment I landed, I don't think it stopped raining for about five days. Pretty much every time I looked or went outside, it was raining. I know for a fact I did not see the sun for those five days. As much as I love the rain, I was hoping for a little more sunshine in the Sunshine State. But at least it wasn't snowing.
Alright. There's ten. I won't bore you with any more. Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day if I don't blog before that point! :)

So much time.
Why is it that when you are super busy, you can think of 124,492,491,937 things you want to do, but as soon as you are on vacation, that list of 124,492,491,937 things disappears and you can't think of a single thing to do? Feel free to ponder upon that question while you read the rest of this post. Let me know when you find an answer. :) Here's some more random thoughts for ya. :)
1. Staying up late. I love to sleep. A lot. Then why do I always stay up late? Well, the main reason would be that I HATE getting ready for bed. The whole process is just obnoxious. Thus, I just try to avoid it entirely by staying up. This usually results in me falling asleep on the couch or at the table still dressed in normal day clothes.
2. So if you go to byucougars.com which is the official BYU sports page, you will find on the right-hand side of the page a list of videos you can watch. Beware. HUGE distraction. There are so many. And obviously BYU sports are way more interesting than the vast majority (99.9999%) of my homework.
3. Christmas music is excellent. I LOVE it. The end.
4. Snow. I like it a lot too. I could sit at a window and watch it fall all day long. And it makes everything (except for cars) look 398 times more beautiful.
5. Static. Definitely on my list of things I like the least. There is so much of it in Utah. And I thought there was a lot in California. False. Utah wins in the having the most static category.
6. Frozen hair. It's an experience. :) Even frozen hair will not make me wake up early enough to blow dry my hair before I walk to school. Sleep is too precious.
7. Poster tape. So on the first floor of the bookstore, they have the better part of an entire aisle dedicated to every kind of tape you could possibly imagine. Lately, I've been having a poster dilemma. My posters will not stay on the wall for prolonged periods of time. Thus, I decided to buy poster tape. It's basically just double-sided tape. I really don't know why it is that special. However, I do know that it worked much better than anything else I've tried. Weird. Too bad the posters fell down again despite this magical tape.
8. BYU is full of interesting people. And working at the circulation desk in the library, I get to meet many of them. For example, one time I was informing a library patron that she had some fines because she had turned her books in after the due date. This shocked her. She couldn't believe the library charged late fees. "Since when do you guys charge late fees?!?!?!" she exclaimed. "Ummmm...since I've worked here," I responded. However, I was really wondering the whole time what planet she had been living on where there were late fees at libraries. As much as such fees are hated, they still exist at every library I've ever been to. Ha.
9. Leaving my keys in the door. I do this all of the time. It's a bad habit. And I usually don't notice until I leave the apartment again.
10. Celebration of Christmas, the BYU choirs Christmas concert, was the first week of December. There were two performances on Saturday. I was at home for a little bit in between concert. All of the sudden, around 6:30 p.m., I realized for the first time that day that I usually work on Saturdays from 4-8 p.m. Ummm...last time I checked, no one had signed up to cover my shift, and I had totally forgotten to find someone to cover it. Yet no one had called to see why I hadn't showed up. Thus, I frantically call the circulation desk. Luckily, Rebecca had signed up to cover my shift. I will be eternally grateful.
I'll keep it at ten to save you from complete boredom. Merry almost Christmas! :)

Almost there.
One more final to go. I was planning on being done tonight, but that didn't happen for various reasons. And what would I do tomorrow if I didn't have a final to take? Ha. And now for the randomness that is my blog... :)
1. Spanish. I LOVE IT. It's such a great language. I'm glad my mom convinced me to take it instead of French in high school. Best decision I ever made. Ha. Anyway, I just took the final for my Intro to Spanish Literature class. I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of reading and then analyzing in any language. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to read, but as soon as you have to think deep thoughts about what you read and why it was written and then get graded on those thoughts, all the fun is completely destroyed. Anyway, I was not very good at keeping up on my reading for this class, but the last thing we read was a novel entitled Papel mojado. And I read every last bit of it! So while I may be super intimidated by all the returned missionaries in my class, I can say I read a whole novel in Spanish. And get this...I even understood it. Crazy. I know. Side note: If I serve a mission, I bet you anything, it won't be Spanish speaking. Just because. Ha.
2. Mail. I also love it. Since I was the third roommate to move in, I got stuck without a mail key. It kills me sometimes. But not enough to get a key of my own. Our apartment gets quite a bit of mail. Wedding announcements, letters from missionaries...what you would expect for an apartment full of sophomore girls at BYU. :) And did I mention my family is GREAT at sending me mail? In fact, they even mailed me letters they could've given to me in person at Thanksgiving. They're great. :)
3. So, it snowed last night. It was great! Waking up to snow is the best. Especially when it's been pretty warm here lately. I needed some cold to make me grateful for the California sunshine (which might not show up for a week or so when I get home according to the forecast). Anyway, ice skating was supposed to be the real topic of #3. Not the ice skating you are thinking of. But the ice skating I do when it's cold outside and small puddles make the sidewalks slippery. I purposely slide on the slippery patches just for fun. It's great. :) I call this ice skating. It makes the walk to and from school so much more exciting.
4. Traction. It is very important in icy weather. Yet, I still fail in picking correct shoes to wear on icy days. After slipping and falling twice during a single trip to school last year, I discovered that my fake uggs had horrid traction as pictured below.

So I decided on the first day that there was snow this year that I wasn't going to make that mistake again. Thus, I proceeded to wear my Keds instead. I don't know what I was thinking. If anything, Keds have worse traction. See below.
When oh when will I ever learn? :)
5. Snow fights. After a devotional a few weeks ago, Anna Toone and I were walking down those bridge/ramps that go from the Marriott over the street to the parking lots. Snow was gathered on the top of the railing. And I could not resist the temptation. Thus, I continued to pick up snow with my bare hand...I repeat...my BARE hand...and then threw it at my roommate. We proceeded to have a snow fight. Yes we were acting like five-year-olds. But what can you expect from people who did not grow up with snow? So it was all fun, until I realized that my hand was freezing and numb and in pain. PAIN. Note to self, don't pick up snow and throw it without gloves even if the sun is shining and makes you think that it might not be cold outside.
Alright. That's it for now. Peace out homies. Ha.

Instead of studying.
So I could and should be studying. But I'm not feeling it. Ha. So I shall continue a little further in my list of thing to blog about.
1. Magleby's must hate me. I have now tried twice to get free chocolate cake there after our basketball team scores 80+ points. And I have failed twice. The first time we were seven minutes late. The second time was a week night and I guess they close obnoxiously early. And it didn't help that it was the night of the "blizzard of all blizzards". Tangent: Good thing Magleby's does a promotion for free cake at 80 points because if not, the blowout games that BYU keeps having might get a tad bit boring really fast.
2. Self-serve frozen yogurt. My rule: go big or go home. End of story.
3. Mi familia. They are seriously so great! Thanksgiving was so much fun! Yes, I'm still writing about Thanksgiving. :) My parents seriously know everything. And if they for some reason don't know, my grandparents know it.
4. Snow College has a GORGEOUS new library. Yes I'm a nerd for liking a library so much. :) And my Uncle Jon is the librarian. He's cool. :)
5. My knees. It's a love hate relationship. Knees are great to have, except when they dislocate when you are sitting with your feet propped up at Thanksgiving and you move maybe an inch. Lame.
6. Around-the-world ping pong. BEST. EVER. My whole family...extended family included...played on Thanksgiving. So much fun!
8. Lakers @ Jazz 11/26/10. Kobe is SO GOOD. He scored the last 14 points for the Lakers. Yes we may have lost. Just wait for the playoffs. That is all I have to say on that matter.
9. Football. BYU @ U of U. 17-16. We should have won. Horrible call(s) by the refs. Even Ute fans admit it. Utah didn't have any points until the fourth quarter. Just wait until next year.
10. After the depressing game mentioned above, we watched three movies while I studied for a test. :) Haha. The Pacifier, Elf, Princess Diaries 2. Classics. OK, not really. But good nonetheless.
11. So I wanted to keep this to 10 items, but I just had to add one more to complete the Saturday. I took my last music test during the last possible hour. I think that makes it 4/4 music tests taken during the last possible hour of availability. Next semester I'm teaching a course on professional slacking. :)
Done. For now. Off to attempt to study. Which probably means sleep. :)

New plan.
So I am heading home in 11 days! I can't wait! California is SO great. SO GREAT! It seriously makes me so happy. And I would have never known of my love for the state of California if I hadn't had to leave it to go to school. Don't get me wrong BYU is so great too! I wouldn't want to go to school anywhere else.
Anyway, the point of all that was despite my excitement to go home super soon, I still have to endure the end of the semester. It's great except for the fact that there is always something school-related that you could be doing (i.e. studying for impending finals or writing papers which due dates are fast approaching). So I came up with a new blogging plan. I will make my posts super short. I will make posting a motivation of getting important school-related things done.
So I shall start with basketball. Yes, I know this game was forever and a day ago, but you're gonna have to deal with it. :)
BYU vs. Mississippi Valley State. Sad basketball game. We won 86-36. Mississippi only scored 7 points in the first half. Pathetic. Despite BYU's high score, we didn't play all that well in the beginning of the game either. The score was about 12-7 ten minutes into the game. Oh and the "blizzard of all blizzards" came when I was at the game. Let's just say it barely snowed. At all.
More to come after I finish something else. :)
Anyway, the point of all that was despite my excitement to go home super soon, I still have to endure the end of the semester. It's great except for the fact that there is always something school-related that you could be doing (i.e. studying for impending finals or writing papers which due dates are fast approaching). So I came up with a new blogging plan. I will make my posts super short. I will make posting a motivation of getting important school-related things done.

Craziness.
Today I woke up at what I thought was 9:40 a.m. I was mad because that meant I was going to be late for my 10 a.m. volleyball class. After I started getting ready, I realized it was only 8:40 a.m. I love when that happens. Yes, I'm a little sad I could have slept for longer, but it gets me out of bed with time to get ready for once in my life. :)
Volleyball was good. It's because I ate breakfast. Haha. Except, both of my earrings managed to fall out at separate times while playing. I had to make everyone look for them both times. I didn't want my the piercings to close. I can finally change my earrings this Saturday! Can't wait.
After volleyball, I went to work. I was covering for someone. If you haven't heard, there is this storm/blizzard that “will far surpass anything that we've seen, probably for the last several years.” (According to the National Weather Service) Supposedly it's heading straight for us. Anyway, about 2:30, the library announces that since the rest of the campus is shutting down, the library is too! It was great! A little stressful trying to get everyone's books checked out while they were blasting the closing music. But all is good! It's not even snowing yet but according to one site, there is a 100% chance of precipitation tonight. Can you even say that there is a 100% chance of anything in the future? I don't think you can. But whatever. It's supposed to be -8 degrees Fahrenheit with the wind chill in Provo tonight. Haha. Should be interesting. I'm excited. I have a feeling it won't even snow. But I guess I can count this as my first ever snow day! Hurray! That's about it. Just in case you were wondering, I am in fact going to brave this large storm to go to the basketball game tonight. :)
