My Last Day As A Teenager :P

WOOOOTTT!! So, here I is. Me as a teenager. :) hhh... it's my last day with an excuse. :( lol Now I have to be normal. :( OOOH WELL. We'll learn to deal, right? (Yes, I do still speak of myself in the third person... it's not creepy at all. I'm a teenager.) Also, Yes, I AM indeed posting twice in one day for the SECOND time ever. :P I just feel sometimes that I ramble too much and that if I break it up, it won't be as obnoxious. hhh... I know it'll still be obnoxious. BUT It's my blog! I can do what I want!! So, ANYWAYS.
Today was quite the day! :) I woke up and went to hula!! It was SO good to be back! Everyone was all excited to see me and it just made me feel so good. Hula has a way of doing that to me. I love hula. We danced some new dances that I am SO excited to learn. I want to learn the Prayer for Manu. And, I am so excited to learn Do the Hula. It's fast paced and way too fun. :P Hula, GOOD. Mahina made me show her my ballet moves cuz I kept starting my dances in first position. haha! Oops. But, luckly I did ok. Not the best, but ballet isn't my strong point. Hula is.
Later, Katelyn and Rachel came over. We went to the park!! :) I love the park. We had a lot of fun. I'll just put some of my favorite pics in here:

 Reflections in the water

 CHACOS!!!!! I'm wayyyy too excited about my new Chaco. Chacos plural, I just wanted to write Chaco... with no 's'. To see what it looked like. Anyways...

 I am King.

 Pretty Carrie Blake. 

 Throwing Katelyn some flowers... just cuz we can.

 Umm... well, okay.

 I'm a gargoyle. 

 And now I'm flying.

 Tree hugging fail...

Now I know why I always break my foot when I jump out of swings. Who jumps like that? I mean really?! hhh...

Anyways, I would say this trip was pretty authent. We just hung out and it was so sunnyyyy!!! Blessed glory be! hhh... I love the sun. The best part of the day?! ANDREW CAME HOOOOME!! He got home around 9:00 to the smoke alarms blaring to welcome him. :) We were broiling again. hehe but it's SO good to have him home!! And, just in time for our birfday!! We ate pork chops!! (Not andrew of course... I mean, of course we didn't EAT andrew... I'm just saying Andrew didn't eat the pork chops... but... he was there.) And yummy rice. I LOVE HOME COOKED MEALS!!

hehe well, I need to get this post in before it's too late... but, I just wanted to write about this, my last day as a teenager. :) I'd say it was a pretty freaking sweet. I might blog tomorrow too. We'll see how crazy the day is. HAPPY 20!!! (No, I did not just wish myself a happy 20. I was wishing Andrew a happy 20 OKAY? jeez.) hhh... well, get a good look world! Next time I blog, I'll be in mah 20s! hehe until then, PEACE.

End of Semester

Wow. Dude, I'm almost 20. But, before we get to that, I'm gonna go over the past few weeks. :)
So, The week after the wedding was... General Conference?! Yeah. SO COOL!! Shelby got us tickets to Saturday Afternoon session. :) And, it was pretty crazy cuz it was in the Bishop's section. We were pretty dang close! ANNNND -- okay okay I'm getting too excited. *breathe... start from the beginning* OKAY. So, I called Jenni Newell and she came down with us, so that was fun. :) We scoured her a ticket which was SWEET and when we got to our section (here's where the "AAANNND" comes in!!) We sat RIIIGHT next to Bishop Holloway and his family!!!!! :D Seriously, seeing a familiar face from home was one of the most exciting things in the world. I sat next to Maddy and hhh... it was just so good to talk to Bishop Holloway and his family again. I love the Holloways. hhh... AND, Bishop and Sister Cain and their oldest daughter were right behind us!! SO COOL! Conference was amazing, as usual. :) Well, then my roommates went home, but Jenni and I wanted to stay and shop, so we did. :) hehe we trammed to Gateway Mall and OH MY GOODNESS!! Coolest mall EVER! :) I'm not normally a mall person, cuz I get a headache way bad after a few minutes, but this mall was outdoor and just so cool. We shopped and it was just lovely. :) I bought some really cute clothes and I'm way stoked about them. :) hehe!! Then, we realized we probably had missed the bus for that night and well... we were stranded. SO, I called Emmy and she and Amy came and got Jenni and I. We spent the night at their house and we had so much fun! In the morning, I called my home teacher from last semester, Dan, cuz I knew his family would be at the Sunday sessions of conference. He was way cool and came and picked us up at Em's and took us home. :) it was fun. What an amazing weekend!! :)
The next weekend (April 9) was the sadie hawkins dance. :) :) :) I think I wrote about that else where.
That week was the last week of classes and the start of finals. Classes were Monday through Wednesday and then we had two reading days. Finals started Saturday. I finished up Ballet first, with a dance final and then a 98% on the written final. :) Tuesday classes, well, they're all kind of a blur. haha! Reading days were fun! :) I didn't do a whole lot, I wasted most of Thursday. But I actually studied on Friday! I studied by the Tree of Life cuz I figured I could use all the help I could get. :P

This is me studying by the tree of life. Kind of a weird picture. But I like it. :P  And, my neck isn't malfunctioned... it's just the picture. 

I loved it there though, there were kids playing on it and it was SO sunny out!! hhh... wonderful. :) Saturday, I started finals week off with a 92% on my German Cinema final! :) I didn't get an immediate score, cuz it was all essay... but it took me the whole three hours alloted. WOW. There were like 10 baby essays which were 100-200 words. Then, we had 2 medium essays which were like 400 words. Then, we had one big essay which was like... 900 words? Maybe 1000? OY. Lots of writing, but that's what I do best! :P I kicked butt! Then, I took my Living Prophets final and got an 88%. What an awesome way to start out finals week!! :) hehe 4 finals down, only 3 to go! The weekend was slightly insane... But again, elsewhere.
Monday started up the finals again and I met Katelin on campus at 8 AM. I studied for 11 hours on campus and left because I was just so frustrated. I wanted to take the test that day but the longer I studied, the worse I got. :( I was studying for Language Structure ALL day which is probably where I went wrong. My mind was literally fried. I was planning on taking it but I took my practice quizzes and failed them both. So I just went home and called Jen and asked for help. I was so frustrated, almost bawling my eyes out the whole way home. UGH. FINALS. Jen and I worked for another 4 hours and I got up Tuesday and took the test. I studied 15 hours for that test and still didn't do as well as I wanted. It turned in to one of those, "I've done all I can so I don't feel bad" things. haha! But really, I did alright. It was a HARD test. And I ended up just fine in the class. THEN, that same day (tuesday...) I studied for a good 8 hours and took my Disorders of Articulation test. I was too scared to look at my score so I just went home. That test was just bogus. hhh... BUT, I went home and studied for Language Disorders and I studied with Katelin at 8 AM Wednesday morning. We studied together for like 8 hours and I went and took the test... I did ok. :) Not my favorite test scores. BUT, they'll do! :P hahah! and, FINALS WERE OOOOVVVVEEEERRRR!!! teeheeeheeehee!! I think I skipped the whole way home. :P
The next few days were cuuurazy! I had to move out of my apartment, which, not gonna lie, was probably the most depressing thing ever. :( I babysat for the Squires and I partied a little bit. :P I moved most of my stuff to Ariel's house while I had cleaning checks, then I moved all my summer stuff to the Squire's new house. I gave blood and hung out and looked for housing a WHOLE lot. :( Laree and I FINALLY found a place called Stonebridge II. We're excited about it cuz it's only $245 a month and guaranteed parking! :P My roommates and I went out for one last party to get frozen yogurt. Actually, Laree and I went to campus to celebrate the finding of our house and Paigey caught us there. We promised we'd still be up for yogurt, and OH - we WERE! :P I got enough to last me 4 months. haha! jk, I am gonna go through yogurt withdrawals. Anyways, this is us. :P

 Yeah, I was just a little too excited cuz Paigey had the brilliant idea of putting toppings on the bottom. Yeah, she's a genius.

I adore my roommates. hhh... I'm gonna miss them so much. :( We got these SWEET filmstrip photos from the mall that I will put on here as soon as I scan them in!! :D WOOT!!
Anyways, Thursday came around and I went to Emmy's! We watched Born to Be Wild on IMAX. Seriously, the coolest movie EVER. We ate at Tucanos and hhh... life. is. good. I'm home now and Andrew's home and :) :) :) yeah. That about sums it.

The Wedding of a Century... literally :P

So, not to post twice in the same day... but I'm going to. haha! I felt like this wedding thing deserved it's own post. :) And it DOES. Seriously, It wasn't even my wedding and it was like the happiest weekend of my life! hhh... WHELP. Here I go:

Ok, so Thursday night, the 24th of March, I went over to Paula and Rock's to spend the night. They were leaving earlier than Aaron and I wanted to get there as early as I could. I got over there a little before 10 and everyone pretty much went straight to bed. I just read my book cuz I wasn't sleepy. haha it was kind of a scary part in my book though, so I got a little freaked out. I slept with my iPod light on. haha! I'm pathetic. Anyways. We woke up at like 7 to head for SLC. We left around 8 and took their dogs to the kennel place. Then we picked up Andrew at the airport!!! :D YAYYY! It was so good to see him again. hhh... We rode in the car with Paula and Rock, Sam and Sierra. Rachel and Camber rode in Camber's car and picked up Melissa in SLC. Anyways, we drove on and Sam and Sierra were typical LOUD 9 year olds! haha so cute tho. I love them! :) Andrew and I worked on Jen's slide show for the reception, and might I say, we were freakin awesome! haha We stopped with Camber, Rachel, and Melissa at a sandwich place and Andrew bought ME lunch! haha that's quite the role switch eh? It made me happy tho. Anyways, we arrived in Rexburg around 12:30 I think? We all just visited for a bit and it was SO AMAZING being around all the family again. hhh... It was chaotic, but wonderful. Kayda ran up to me immediately and wouldn't let go. I seriously adore that girl SO much. I can't get over it. We played dolls for a bit and practiced her flower girl walk! She's SO ADORABLE! lol I can't even get over it.

This was us practicing for her flower girl walk:

Anyways, then I showed Jen the slide show. She loved it! :) And, pretty soon it was time to get to work on Jen's hair!!! Jen's friend Sarah came to Grandma and Grandpa's to help out. Sarah is Jen's friend from New York, but she just moved to SLC so she got to come up for the wedding. She's SO stinkin cool! haha We had so much fun doing hair together. We collaborated to get a plan, and I ended up doing the braid: 

Sarah did the curly stuff. She's the real talented one... I just braided. haha She's way good. If I ever get married, I want her on my hair. haha Anyways, here are some "in-the-process" pictures of Sarah's curly part! 

                                                                            This one reminds me of a Jedi. lol 

And, here are some final product pictures!!! ::

YAYY! Isn't Sarah amazing?! We had so much fun. We decided to finish the rest at the church to make sure we had everything, so we packed up camp and headed to the church. OH my goodness. Aunt Karen is so amazing. My breath was literally taken away when I saw what they had done to that gym. It was no longer an ugly church gym. As soon as I get my hands on some good pictures, I'll post them. But, I can't even explain how beautiful everything was. There was a freaking waterfall! haha and a fountain. And a lemonade fountain. And, the ceiling was hidden by these gorgeous drapes and Christmas lights drooped low. hhh... it was so gorgeous. I can't even believe it, still. Jen totally cried when we first walked in and man... I got pretty dang close. lol Kevin and Karen and family are SO amazing. Kenneth did the music and had this sweet set up in the room behind us. After we finished drooling over everything for a bit, we went into the mothers lounge and started with the make up!! Poor Jen was a bit freaked out... but I think we did good. :) 

Then I did Kayda's hair and... I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I think I did a pretty dang awesome job. haha I was kind of proud. Ok... a lot proud. lol It wasn't my idea, we saw the picture somewhere... but I figured it out and well... hhh I just felt cool okay? haha 

Well, then it was time for the rest of us to get ready. :) I got myself done met Vic's parents!! They're so sweet. :) I ran around the reception area to get things figured out and right before the reception started, we went to get Jen in her dress and realized that Circle of Love forgot to put the slip in the bag! UGH. The slip is the thing that makes the dress all cute and poofy! Without it it just hangs wrong... :( We were all fretting cuz Circle of Love was already closed and Aunt Paula was like "So... this might sound crazy. But... I think you should call the police and ask them to give you the number for the owner of Circle of Love." haha!! So, we called the police! They called the owner for us and... after must stress and fret, we got the slip! And started the reception like... 40 minutes late. But, hey... we got the slip! hhh...

Everything was so amazing. We did the whole wedding procession thing for Vic's parents and I got to walk down "the aisle" with Kaydance being the most adorable flower girl throwing petals! Jen was absolutely astounding. Jen and Vic exchanged CTR Rings and said the most adorable words to each other. :) Dad spoke an adorable speech and Vic's brother spoke too. Em and I cried. A lot. hehe Then we just stood in the line for a while. :) 

 Isn't she gorgeous?! hhh... Vic and Jen are seriously the cutest in the whole world.

haha it was fun being a bridesmaid. I loved it! :) The Pooley's were there! And the Samuelson's and so many of Jen's friends! A bunch of the old random housers were there too! and Dannah drove all the way from Montana. Wow. So cool. :) And Thad and Sue Thomas and their kids were there!! SO COOL! It was crazy seeing Lauren and Rhodry again. They're so old! hahah there was music playing the whole time and at one point we looked over and Kayda was doing hula! SO CUTE! So, Jen made me show off my skills to Sarah, and also to Ryan Lewis. lol

Then it was time to cut the cake! :) Vic was such a gentleman and was oh so very clean on Jen... then she shoved the whole plate in his face! haha 

Aren't they the cutest in the entire world?! I think so. They're my favorite. Ever. And, I've never seen Jen this happy. Thinking about how happy she is just makes me cry. haha I'm SO happy for her. Like, seeing her this happy just makes ME so happy. hhh.. I love my sister. 

Then came time for my favorite part! haha the DANCE! :D I love dances. Anyways. Andrew played Jen and Vic's song "Such Great Heights" which was really cool. He's just amazing. lol Then Jen and Dad danced to John Stamos's (Uncle Jesse on Full House) version of Goodnight My Angel. It made me cry. Then we all danced. And I got to dance with Dad! :) I danced with Kayda and Jarom too. We had so much fun. Jen, Kayda, Jarom, and I all danced to Everybody by Ingrid Michaelson which is like, my new favorite song. haha! It plays at the wedding on Ramona and Beezus. Best movie ever. Therefore, only appropriate for such a setting! :D haha 

Jen threw her bouquet and Amy caught it... Then the night was thru and we went to change and get Jen home for some sleep! Yeah right... haha Jen and I stayed up till like 4:30 AM talking at Grandma and Grandpa's house and I showed her my slideshow I made for her and I. :) We cried a lot. lol It was the best night ever though. I tried to stay awake when Jen went for a shower, but I crashed. haha Poor thing was up till like 6:30. =/ But, we had fun! We woke up way too early on Saturday morning and Sarah did Jen's hair again. :) They were off to the temple and I took off to Tom and Shar's hotel to babysit the kids and get them ready. 

Pretty soon it was time to greet them outside the temple. It was so amazing. Christy was there taking pictures and well... it was just wonderful. 

These were some of Christy's pictures:

wooot!! And, here are some of my favorite pictures of the temple day. Sarah was taking pictures for me. :) It was SO cold!! The poor kids were just FREEZING! ::

 This family picture is cute, some of us are cut out, but it's so happy! hehe

 Cute Marilyn Monroe sibling picture. I definitely had some legit Marilyn Monroe moments with that skirt. haha!

And I just thought this was the most precious thing ever, Payson and Mama cuddling in the FREEZING cold. I just love my sisters so much. Shar has the cutest little family on Earth and this wedding weekend was seriously one of the best weekends of my life. I Loved seeing Jen so happy. It made me SO HAPPY!! hehe After the pictures were all taken, we ate lunch in Idaho Falls. I ate a whole 1/2 lb bacon cheese burger. lol Tom didn't finish his. SCORE! I'm such a little piggy. Maybe not so little. lol but, hey. Good food! Then, on the way home, I rode with Tom and Shar and we ran through the dollar store to get things to decorate Jen and Vic's car with!! It was a rental, so we couldn't do much. But we filled it with balloons and fake spiders! hehe and well... we threw a pregnancy test in the middle of all the balloons. haha!! oh dear. They laughed and laughed until Jen found the spiders... then well... see for yourself! ::

haha!! Oh Jen... We also tied cans on the back of their car and wrote "Just Married" on the window in whipped cream! LOL it smeared a lot and we ran out of room... so it was more "JUST MARR.... IED"! hahah we're so awesome. 

hhh... Anyways. What an amazing weekend. I can't get over it! It was wonderful getting to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa again and with the rest of the family. I miss time with my sisters. Tom and I tried to fix Pachinko, but we didn't get very far... maybe next time. haha we played with Petey too which was fun! He pooped on drew. haha! I shouldn't laugh. It's totally happened to me before. :P Anyways, I rode home with Aaron and Andrew and we had fun! haha I slept most the time. It was a nice thing though cuz we didn't really have to say goodbye to the family besides Grandma and Grandpa, cuz we'll see everyone in a month and a half in HAWAIIII!!! :D :D

hehe whelp, that's my write up of the best wedding ever. First wedding in ten and a half years - literally the wedding of the century! haha What next? Another 10 years then Aaron can go, maybe 10 more and then my turn? haha Whatever - all I know was this was such a happy weekend. I love my family and I am so excited to have a new brother! What could be better besides gaining a brother? hehe anyways... CONGRATS JEN AND VIC!!! I LOVE YOU!! :D

Little Old Me...

I can NOT believe it's already April. Where did this come from? haha This semester has gone by so incredibly fast. My time concept has gone to the dogs or something... I'm so lost. haha!

Well, to be honest, March was a pretty quiet month. The first couple weeks were just enduring through school and craziness. haha! Laree, Jake Redford (Shelby's co-worker), Avery (Paigey's boy) and I all went to the CES broadcast a few weeks ago. It was so fun! We took these awesome pictures after, cuz we're so legit! :P

Anyways, Classes are going quite well. :) I feel like I've done pretty well this semester, but my classes are harder than ever... so I suppose we'll see at the end of the year, which is in like 2 weeks. UGH.
Monday and Wednesday my only class is Ballet! I have it from 4:00-5:00. It's been really fun. Kind of frustrating cuz I'm SO inflexible. But, I'm getting better. :) I can touch PAST  my toes now! :P And when I stand up straight I can put my hand on the ground. That hurts. But I can do it. hehehe! It's been good for me to get that kind of exercise. Laree and I have been going running and to the gym, so that's been good. I feel all healthy and stuff. :) And I just bought some sweeet new jeans. I'm gonna be ready to spend the summer in my swimming suit!! :D WOOOT! Anyways. It's a tough class... meaning graded really harshly, but luckily it's only half a credit.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are my INSANE class days. I have 5 classes. UGH. Here I go:
Language Structure is my 9:30 class with Dr. Channel. I have that class with Katelin Minetto, who is pretty much my favorite person ever. haha! We have a ton of fun and she is one of the most hilarious people I have ever met in my life. I think if I didn't have class with Katelin I would NEVER go to language structure. We met in Clinical Phonetics last year and I had Language Development with her last year too. This year we have Language Structure, Language Disorders, and Disorders of Articulation together. haha it's pretty sweet. hehe Anyways. Language Structure is all about grammar and parts of speech and such. It's... lame. haha I loved the first section. I kind of rock at grammar. But the next sections have all been about parts of the brain and how our brain interprets grammar. It's not as fun. And all his notes are online so I never feel motivated to walk alllll the way to the MOA for class. It's like a 23 minute walk. :( merrrhhh... But Katelin and I go and study for our other classes. haha!

Next, I have an hour break from 11 to 12 which I sometimes spend with Katelin who drags me to the devotional on Tuesdays. But most the time I spend it with Jenny Newell. :) She's a sweet girl and it's really fun to have someone here from home. Kind of comforting really. We usually just eat lunch and catch up.

Then, 12:00-1:00 I have Living Prophets. I have it with Brother Tefan. He is SO COOL! haha He's from Tahiti and so he has a little trouble with English sometime, but it's funny. haha! He's seriously the cutest old man though, like... he's SO sweet and humble. He has worked first hand with so many of the great leaders of the church. He was a mission president and in the seventy I think. He's amazing. He has so many great stories, but he's always talking about how honored he is to be at BYU. He wrote a book and told us about it and was like "I don't know why anyone would want to read my book..." It was kinda sad, but so cute! I want to read his book! haha He knows everyones names. I went up to him yesterday and he was like "Well, hello Andrea! How are you?" It was SO cool! I heard someone ask him "How do you memorize everyones names?!" and he was like "Well, it wasn't easy. You all look the same cuz you're all white!" hahah!! I laughed so hard. We had some cool projects in that class too. I love learning about the apostles and the Prophet. We each got assigned an apostle and got to do a 40 minute presentation on him. I did M. Russell Ballard. :) My group was awesome, so I had so much fun. We've also written 4 research papers on different church subjects. We just have to find quotes from the general authorities that answer the questions he gives us. It's a pretty easy class, but I've learned a ton. I love Brother Tefan. You can just tell he cares about us all. He's one of those teachers that makes you want to pay attention just because you know he pays attention to you.

Then, 1:30-2:50 I have Language Disorders in Children with Dr. Fujiki. hahah!! Dr. Fujiki is so legit. Like, his lectures get a little dull sometimes... especially this late in the semester when everything is dull... but he is SO SMART. And he has kind of a funny sense of humor. He's really dry, and when he cracks a joke he just gets a little smile on his face which makes it even funnier. haha! But, it's been a pretty cool class. We just got to do this AWESOME project a few weeks ago. Actually, it was due on the 24th. Anyways... I went over to the Squires for it and took a language sample with Matthew. He's SO CUTE!!! All of them are. But anyways. I just talked with Matthew alone for 20 minutes about cars and cake and his toys! haha then I transcribed it and analyzed it. I had to find semantic and pragmatic applications in the parts I transcribed. SO MUCH FUN! It was cute though... after I had done it with Matthew, Daniel really wanted a turn. (I had originally planned to do it with Daniel, but we made the mistake of telling him it was my homework... so he cried and didn't want to do it.) So, I let the boys all look at themselves thru my webcam and make movies! haha in the process, I gained about a gallon of spit on my screen. I don't know... you're 4, 6, and 9 year old boys... what else do you do when you see a computer but spit on it? lol It was gross... but adorable! :P It turns out that Katelin needed a child to get a language sample from, so we went over later and Daniel got to do it. Isaac was a bit too old for the study... so I just hung with him while Katelin took her sample. It was funny though, I took Isaac outside to jump on the trampoline and apparently Daniel was like "AWHHH MAN!! I shouldn't have agreed to do this with you. I want to jump on the trampoline!!" haha! Poor Katelin. It was funny though and adorable. And all on tape! haha

Next, 3:00-4:20 I have Disorders of Articulation with Dr. Channel. Yeah... I can't really tell you what this class is about. I seriously don't think I've gone to a full week of classes. Actually, I went to two days and didn't pay attention at all... took the first test and did pretty well and never went back to class. haha! The only reason I go now is to find out what the curve is on the test. It's hard cuz Dr. Channel is SO FUNNY! Seriously one of the funniest professors I've ever had. But, it's his first time teaching this class and so everything is straight out of the book. And, with SUCH a full day of classes, I see no point in killing myself to go to class, then end up rereading the book anyways. haha I've done alright... not my best. -_- but oh well. Besides that, I have German Cinema at 4:00. It overlaps. So, I can't go to all of class anyways.

From 4:00-7:00 I have German/Scandinavian Cinema. It's been a very interesting class. I love it when we get to watch movies, but the last few movies have been incredibly lame. Like... weird and violent and lame. haha! But, I though it would be this fun easy class where we get to watch movies, but it's actually pretty tough. We've had a bunch of quizzes and we have to take 3 pages of notes for every movie we watch. Then we have to write an Initial Analysis of every movie, which is one 100 words, but I always do it wrong... lol ugh. Anyways. Then, we've written two sequence analysis in which we take like 30 seconds of a movie and analyze every aspect of it. Write like 3 pages on it. It was intense but actually really cool. Then we wrote a film review of a movie and are just about to do another one. It's been really interesting to go into such depth with these movies. I've never done that before. I'm more of a "I like the movie, but I don't really care to figure out why I like it" type of person. haha I normally don't like analyzing things because I feel like sometimes a story is just a story. I have it with Professor Oscarson and McFarland. I like Oscarson better. Actually, just yesterday they started to even out a bit, but sometimes I don't like how Professor McFarland interprets things in movies. Oscarson is definitely more conservative. Also, Oscarson is the main teacher so he definitely knos more of what's going on in class. haha But it's a good class. My favorite movies this year have been In the Lives of Others, The Murderers are Among Us, Run Lola Run, Kebab Connection, and I have not yet seen Let the Right One In but I've heard it's pretty awesome! haha It's sweet because a lot of these are 'R' rated but they've edited them for our class. So I still get to see them! :) Also, my least favorite movie is a hard toss up between The White Ribbon and The Baader-Meinhof Complex. I think I just didn't understand The Baader-Meinhof Complex but it was just wayyyy too violent for me. Apparently they edited out like 900 'F-Bombs and all the sex. But the violence was just awful. In The White Ribbon I actually walked out early cuz I couldn't handle it. I get it now, but it was just so depressing. It made me sick. It was all about child repression in Europe before WWII. It was showing how those repressed kids grew up to be the Nazis or something... crazy. But, I didn't care to see all the 'child repression.' lol UGH. Anyways. Interesting class. I have a friend, Christine, in that class who is also in my major! :) She's sweet and has dual citizenship between Germany and Canada! How cool is that? She just got accepted into the grad program here. It's pretty cool. But, in this class we all had to make a movie. It's only two minutes, but it was pretty cool. We did it with a guy named Michael who is her brothers roommate. He's cool. We did a break off of The Perfect Human (weird and seemingly pointless movie) and were done like 2 weeks early! haha We done goooood!

Anyways... that's my Tuesday and Thursday for ya. Pretty crazy.

Anyways... back to my journaling of March. I've spent a lot of time babysitting. haha I absolutely adore those Squire kids. So much. I love them. Laree and I have spent a ton of time looking for housing for next fall, but to no avail. :( We have no idea what we're doing. lol guaranteed, one of these days she's gonna do what everyone else has done to me and be like "JK Andrea! I already found housing! good luck!" haha No, Laree isn't like that. Anyways. We've also spent a ton of time trying to figure out our summer plans. hhh... too many decisions. But THEN - last weekend was JEN'S WEDDING!!!!!! :D :D :D :D Seriously, the happiest weekend of my life!! :D I'm gonna post about it in a new post though. Too important. :)
