sigh I survived the semester

good news. I survived this semester. after hours of homework, lesson plans, drama in school & out of it, work, service, church callings and ensuring I have somewhat of a social life...I made it. nowww onto student teaching which I feel may be ten times harder & more stressful. no really I don't know how it will go yet. I am crazy nervous for it though that's for sure. anywho so I made it and the days with no school or real worries has been lovely. i am still way busy for some reason well i guess i'm working more which is good. so before student teaching I want to try & read all the harry potters again, make sure i can graduate in the spring ( i need to try to get into one last class), sleep in lots, find a car and have a successful christmas.

so far i haven't started harry potter but that's on my to do list for next week. i found a place online to read them & while I'd much rather prefer to read the book...i don't know if i'll make it to the library or not. next monday/ tuesday me & my mom are going to salt lake to look at cars. i'm hoping to see stephy that night which i'm STOKED about! I seriously miss her so much all the time. It's funny to look back and see all the things working at kids camp has brought into my life. i love that job more than any other job i've had in my life. i look forward to it all year long & i miss the kids and my coworkers every single day. that sounds like an exaggeration but honestly it's not. after spending 3 months, 5 days a week and 9 hours each of those days with these people they truly feel like family and steph is surely one of the best friends i've ever had. i can't wait to see her monday! okay so fingers crossed i find a new car otherwise well there is no otherwise. i am determined not to leave salt lake without a car next week.

love steph.

love matt.

love all of these people.

love WKC

 well sadly there isn't much excitement in my life these days. so far i've just been sleeping, cleaning & going to work at the ol Bath & Body Works...which i'm realizing i don't get paid nearly enough for what i do there but whatever i'm blessed & grateful just to have a job. alrighty so what else....i am getting another new roommate. jacqui is a super sweet girl from my ward who i don't know super well but i know she's adorable. anywho so this place is getting nice and crowded. 

and of course i need to talk about this past tuesday. it was a lovely day. so first i had a final, science final mind you where we wait for it....created and reported on an experiment testing which brand of diapers were most absorbent. and of course my science teacher just had to bring in the cutest newborn size diapers. needless to say i am extremely baby hungry after that. not to mention i now know that huggies are the best ones. okay so after that i spent some time shopping with my momma and then i met up with nicole. we shopped at hobby town, hit up cafe and decided to make treats...of course! yay!. so we headed to the apt & christy came too. double yay! anywho nicole made a tasty chocolatey cake and we just hung out watching GLEE & New Girl. I tried making molasses cookies like my mom did but it was a fail. anywho then dear Jake from SLC stopped by. he used to live in Logan and moved before school began. it was lovely visiting with him he cracks me up. and then instead of oh studying for my math final...emilee & i went over to his old apt & played a game called BANG with him & his roomies. it was a super fun day and i loved it all.

the clear winner.

since then it's been sleeping in, running errands and continually putting important stuff off because i want to sleep in. oh & sure i've been catching up on my Days of Our Lives episodes too. sidenote time: when I was little I used to watch that show ALL the time with my family. we loved it! my mom would even record it so we could watch it together when we got home from school. and while some people may be like 'what you let your kids watch a soap opera'...really it wasn't even that bad of a show. honestly i think it's gotten slightly worse but the storylines were great and intriguing. at a family reunion once, because my moms siblings & their kids watched it too a lot, we chose who of the cousins was going to be who from Days. For instance, my sister Jen was Lexi, I was Sami, Homi was Bo (if you haven't watched you won't understand sorry) and my cousin Steph was Hope. aaahhh those were the good ol' days. anywho I still love the show to this day even if I am lost half of the time & i have to google stuff every episode.  

well christmas is coming & the goose is getting fat. i'll blog more once there is something exciting to blog about. until then, i have lots more time at bath and body works and let's hope i survive. merry christmas to all & to all a good night. (i love that story oh & i love christmas music. i am truly a person who never tires of hearing any of those songs)

love mickey's christmas carol.
