"Good Morning! Come on everyone, I know you all had your Starbucks this Morning!!" (Through my past years in journalism, I have learned to never start with dialog. In this case, I choose to ignore that rule. I also will continue with my parenthesis fetish.) During our welcome back assembly, a lady from the admissions office or where ever said good morning to us and when we didn't answer back, she replied with that phrase. (see first sentence) Yes, I took the culture shock hard.
I am roommates with my friend Brittany and my other roommates are really cool.
Our wards are split up by resident's halls. In my resisdent hall, Manzinita, there is only one boy apartment. This means there are roughly 140 girls and 15 boys.
LJ and I watched shirtless boys playing volleyball and the Frat dog during a BBQ put on by SUU's Greek Organization
I wore a skirt today being the first day of school that is very flowy. Let's just say as I walked down the stairs outside, I had a few "Marilyn Monroe moments".
I have these two neighbors Jane and Martha. They rock as well. They also party with Jesus at their Bible readings.
I signed up for institute. Yes, I am really taking the Missionary Preparation class. I'm pretty excited.
My classes so far are good. I am really excited for my Nutrition class mainly because I really like the teacher. He's really funny. My Spanish teacher is also really cool. She says that we will be turing in campositions, olways speaking to our neighbors, and she clearly is Omerican. I'm not so sure about English, but I decided to just stick it out. I mean, if I could take Ms. Snyder, I can do anything...right? I have my University Sucess class and Computer class tomarrow. I'll let you know how those go later.
I think my arteris are getting clogged from all the Welcome Week BBQ's they keep on having. This last week I was fed a meal everyday but Sunday from some the most delicious hamburgers ever.
At the club showcase last week, a cheerleader asked me if I could do stunts. I said, "I can fall on my face, does that count?" She just gave me a weird look and asked the person behind me. I like to believe that she just gave me a weird look because she recongized me when I went to high school with her, but who knows.
Well, that's about it. Until later!
BTW: Thunderstruck is SUU's theme this year. I just choose to call it Thundastruck to add more flava. And Tristan, please write more on your blog!

I am pleased to say that my vote really did count this time and Benji won last night. I can now sleep easy knowing that the title of America's favorite dancer didn't go to Travis. (Wow, I really can't wait until I have real problems to worry about.)
My friend Stankho, who should get a blog by the way, called me last night to hang out but I had to say no because of the 2 hour long show. I think she now thinks I am a bimbo, but I am all for the reality shows where I have the say. (see my post about American Idol)
One major reason I wanted to watch was because Fergie from the Black Eye Peas performed and I really like the Black Eye Peas. Did I miss something...did Fergie go solo? I basically thought I was watching a performance by Gwen Stef herself. What's up with the crazy wardrobe, excentric backup dancers, and the Hollaback girl like lyrics? What's up Fergie?
Like I said, I can't wait until I have real problems to worry about.

LJ: One of my good friends. We were stand partners in orchestra for 2 years and we are now going to SUU together. She now has a blog that rocks my socks south of the boarder. (We once got stuck in a bathtub with this other girl (with our swimsuits on! sicko), and painted the names of these boys on our head because we thought they were cute, but hurried and washed them off because we realized how lame it was. We sewed together our senior year and wrote notes to each other during psychology. Now, we comment on each others blogs.
A November Guest: It all started at Farrer Middle school when we were stand partners. Then we went to Provo High and were stand partners again. Then 2 years after that, we became stand partners once again. (Did you follow that?) Besides being orch dorks, we were also yellow journalism correspondents. We once rapped a song to LJ on her birthday (she can do a mean beat boppin'), she is also pretty crazy at dances. She started a blog called a november guest. You should read it, it's crazy fun.
My Mutha: I don't think I have to explain how I know her. But you should all get to know her because she basically rocks!
Assis to the Bish: *This nickname was invented by LJJ copyright March 2006. This name was given someone we all like to call "T-bone"* Jake and I go back. He was my primary teacher, then my sunday school teacher, and now he's the assis to the bish. His son made me smell his new shoes a few sunday's ago.
CJane: My old young women leader. She has a picture of Amelie on her wall. She kicks (Sista K, not Amelie...well I guess Amelie does too, but I'll save Amelie for another post)
Used to be my Sunday School Teacher, now lives in Texas: Pretty self explanatory. I used to babysit his kids and his wife used to teach me piano. I once went to a party at his house and we had some darn good pizza. (I don't remember what we did at the party, but I remember that pizza)
Cristina: My dear aunty. She is an English teacher and comments frequently. She should start a blog. I would defiently (wrong spelling I know) read it. I used to call her Kiki, and she once had a fish named Gordon. I like to talk about stupid people with her.
Well, I have to go. According to my brothers, super cell 2 has just begun. They were just running crazy outside with a video camera capturing the footage of this storm. They now can add it to their collection: "Super Cell 06", "Super Cell 06: The Aftermath", and of course the award winning "Yamagachi: a Japanese short film".
Further Clarifications
Stand Partner: The person who sits next you/shares a stand with you in a music class
Orch Dork: Name given to those who dare pick up a string instrument. Better than a "Band Geek" and much better than a "Choir Queer".
Crazy Fun: Not just fun, crazy fun
Rocks, Kicks: Phrase used by Hey Jude to describe when someone is cool in her book
LJJ: LJ's full name
T-Bone: Someone who, like most people I talk about, rocks
Amelie: A french movie about a girl who falls in love with the only cute French guy I have ever seen named Nino. (Sista K, I believe I still have your movie. I'm sorry)
Sista K: Another name for Cjane
Yamagachi: a Japanese short film: What happens when my brother Scott gets a video camera for Christmas and get bored one night

For the record, I am currently living at my grandparent´s home in Pleasant Grove. I am typing on my grandfather´s computer (mac) with an international keyboard (ñç€). My house got it´s 15 min of fame (if I couldn´t at least my house could). I miss my bed. I love my grandparents.
The End.
