"Wavin Flag" - K'naan

Favorite quotes from tonight:

Diane - "I think I am developing a mental disorder."
Lauren - [bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah]
Diane - "That isn't funny!!!"

Lauren - "Guess what class I just registered for?!"
Diane - "Frog!"

Diane - "Breaking my back...my heart?...my foot?"

Diane - "The back of my knee is ridiculous.....ly itchy!!"

Diane - "I just realized that this is the class that we will ever take together. Maybe when we are older we will live near each other and we can take a pregnancy class together!"
Lauren - "I thought you were gonna say pregnancy test."

Diane has no idea that I am typing up pretty much everything that she is saying right now. She thinks I am studying for my midterm that is in less than 7 hours.

Diane - "Don't lie to me Lauren!"

Diane - "That's never happened before."

[printer makes noises]
Diane - "The commies are coming."
Lauren - "What do the commies have to do with my printer?"
Diane - "What does your printer have to do with the commies?"

"Young, Wild and Free" - Snoop Dog

So while I was home over the weekend it just happened to be homecoming and everyone just happened to get sick. BUT, but Kaleen was healthy enough to go out Saturday night, and to take pictures that afternoon. So here are some of my favs.

That would be my assistant Rachel's hand.

My beautiful assistance!

"I Got You" - Leona Lewis

Three years ago I was a little freshmen. Of course by this time I was already pro because I went summer semester so while everyone else was struggling through midterms I knew what to do. This really has nothing to do with the story I'm about to share. It was also around the time that I met Diane. I won't share that story because only the few and privileged are allowed to hear it. For personal reasons. Well after we became friends and I had acquired a candle and candle warmer, Diane thought it would be cool to start dipping things in the wax.

Exhibit A 

yes I still have that pen...I have no idea why. Also she got really excited and tried to create her own candle, I thought I could find it to take a picture but I have no idea where it's at.
I was not a fan of this. Especially when wax got INSIDE of my favorite pencil. Then I was really not a fan.

So for the last THREE years I have had to deal with the fact that I couldn't put lead into my pencil. And then today I was determined, because I lost my other favorite pencil, such a tragedy, that I would remove the wax and give my pencil life again!

I started looking for something that I could stick into my pencil without getting stuck because there was already lead stuck in the wax. I thought tweezers would work but alas. Then I had a brilliant remembrance that I had a needle and thread!! So I sat there and very carefully was able to remove the wax around the lead while still keeping it in one piece. I removed the wax chunks at a time until it was all out. Then I went in with tissue and cleaned the inside. And the good news is my pencil is in recovery and should be back to normal today.

Man maybe I should become a surgeon! haha so not happening.

On another happy note, I am totally rocking the fishtail today which I did myself!

Also this is my 200th post!

"Faster" - Matt Nathanson

It's been raining since yesterday but today it's 35 degrees outside. So naturally everyone is crying snow on Facebook but I've been studying in the loving room and I haven't seen any snow.

When I was walking to class yesterday I saw all these cool things which would be super awesome to take pictures of but I am no where willing to bust my camera out in the rain. BUT now with my super awesome iPhone I can take cool pictures awesomely under the comfort of my umbrella.

"Piano Man" - Billy Joel

Today has been a great day. Usually Wednesday's are kind if crummy because I have my first class at 8 and then I get out of my last class at 9 and then I practice piano for an hour. But like I said it's been a great day. Here are some pics that I took after playing tonight.

"Edge of Glory" - Lady GaGa

I love Jon Schmidt. I have for years. In the last little while he's been doing a lot with his cellist Steven Nelson. Some of my favs are (click on it to watch on youtube), Love Story meets Viva la Vida, Bring Him Home and Rock Meets Rachmaninoff just to name a few.

Well today I found this little gem of brothers playing a cover and they are just so dang cute! I thought they did a super good job!

"Circle of Life" - The Lion King soundtrack

I am bored in class. This is the result of that boredom. Maybe I'll challenge myself to do a picture a day with my phone? Or with my camera. It has been far too long since I've taken pictures.

"Pumped Up Kicks" - Foster the People

I am really tired. I hope that by blogging it will keep me awake in class. Especially since I have another class after this one which is even longer. I know it's worth it to have crazy monday and wednesday's but I don't feel like that on Monday.

we're watching some grad student made video on aphasia. it doesn't have very good editing or pretty background music. it's kind of boring I'm not gonna lie. 

I start registering for Winter classes in a few weeks. My last time. Oh yeah it's official. I graduate april 20th! Right now I am too tired to right a super exciting speech about graduation. Moving on.

so pretty much my favorite part of conference was hearing that they are rebuilding the Provo tabernacle and upgrading it to a temple. yeah that was pretty much the most awesome part of conference. I admit I slept through more than I would have liked but oh well. Sometimes I feel like you can only do so much to keep yourself awake. Like right now. If I had a pillow or even a blanket I would be out.

the leaves are changing and I am getting dang excited about that. I think I might take a drive up provo canyon sometime soon and take pictures. fall is my favorite in utah.

oh yeah and I got an iphone. w0000t. favorite apps thus far: fruit ninja, instagram, words with friends and gospel library. love having all the scriptures and pretty much everything church related right there.

now I thought I would share some pics. these were all taken from le iphone.
