Orange Haired Grades

So I got my midterm grades and I didn't do too terribly. My History of Creativity exam was super easy. I got a 93 (highest grade out of all our freshman academy students!) My American Heritage exam was MUUCH more difficult. I ended up with a cumulative 83 which isn't too bad considering, but this class has a wierd curve so I still might end up with a lower grade. Lame right?

Last night I finally got up the courage to let Shelby dye my hair. I've been way to freaked out but my roots were getting a little gross. When we washed it out we found maybe ten places we had missed AND it had an orange tint. But when I woke up this morning it didn't look orange at all- just super bright blonde. It was definatly a memorable experience.


I've been really confused about a lot lately. Just not knowing what exactly the Lord knows is best has kind of killed me lately. I've been getting those weird headaches that aren't headaches, just a lot of pressure in my head because I'm constantly thinking about so much at one time. The other night I was up on Y mountain. I just sat in the parking lot in the cold and looked at the beautiful city lights and mountain sillouhettes off in the distance. I needed that. Being in nature or just in such a quite peaceful place always makes me so much better because I can really listen to the spirit. I love the beautiful world Heavenly Father created for us.



We had a halloween dance tonight and I had to throw a costume together because my sunflower isnt done yet.


I was Minnie!

Homecoming

So..I got a little preoccupied with problems in my last post so I didn't post any pictures from my fun week last week.

Last week was homecoming and there were lots of fun activities going on

True Blue foam football was by far the best


my skin was stained blue for three days. I had to scrub like crazy with baking soda to get it off for the dance.



I went with my friend Taylor and we had a good time. He is on the ballroom team so he just taught me ballroom moves all night long!

It was my friend Kathryn's first EVER date on the night of the dance. So I hooked her up with a dress and Shelby did her makeup and hair and all that cool girly stuff! She looked HOT! haha




ALSO.
I would just like to say how amazingly AMAZING my entire family is. I love you guys 8] thanks for loving your little sister so much.

blank.

I feel like puking. Sorry for the graphics.

Yesterday and today was basically the first six months of this year packed into two days. Things are no longer...and I don't have my phone again.

just my best friend, but an amazing one.

Conference Weekend

Man. Last week was nuts!! I had my first test in my dance class and I did really well. It gave me so much more confidence in that class because I have felt SOO behind all the other girls. I got asked out by some random Canadian at an etiquitte dinner in front of everyone. I had test reviews out the wazoo...along with tons of homework. I started studying in the library which has proved to be very productive! Who knew? haha

Friday night I went to see Kung Fu Panda with some friends at the theater in the student center. I forgot how dang funny that movie was. Then I called Todd and he told me he and Kristine dear had extra tickets for the after noon session saturday! I was super stoked. It rained all night Saturday so in the morning for conference there was snow on the mountains. It was just BEAUTIFUL! We drove out to Salt Lake and walked a few blocks to the conference center. It is SO neat inside there! That session was so perfect for me. I have always enjoyed conference but I've never felt like things were said for me. That was ALL I got from that session. Each thing one of the brethren said TOTALLY applied to my life right now. Elder Holland's talk was definately one of my favorites. I have so many angels in my life. I'm so blessed to have so many amazing righteous examples in my life.

During the priesthood session Kristi and I walked around Salt Lake and shopped and such so that was fun. We also saw the Reflections of Christ exhibit by Mark Mabry. The pictures are so powerful..




The Sunday session I was able to attend was...eventful to say the least. I was a little mad at myselt that I let something so dumb distract me from being in the prophet's presence...


This week is going to be pretty dang nuts too. I have my very first ever midterm tomorrow. Then the second on Wednesday. Brennen's birthday is this week and the present I'm sending him I kind of want to keep...Friday I'm going to the Homecoming dance and Saturday I'm going out with the random Canadian dude.

Bom noche
