So lately we've had quite a bit of snow. Last week we got 6 inches of snow within a few hours. I really wanted to go running that night but it snowed so I couldn't. I wanted to go running last night and guess what? it started to snow! Why is it that I want to go running, it starts snowing?
School is going good. I only had one midterm this semester which was Mass Media. I don't think it was too hard. It just covered everything that we learned so far this semester. I actually will get go find out in about half an hour what I got on my midterm. Kinda nervous but I think I'll be fine.
Spring break is coming! I am so excited. I plan on visiting my friends at my old high school. I also am going to visit my 2nd graders (who are now 3rd graders) I am so excited to see them again. The last time I saw them was Thanksgiving which is way too long! I am also going to watch a movie this next week. I think I want to go see Alice in Wonderland. It's actually an assignment. I have to go see a movie and talk about the experience for my Mass Media class. How cool huh? If there are any movies that you've seen that you reccommend, let me know.
I am actually doing an awesome job at eating healthy lately. I've been reading labels and snacking on healthier foods. My friends and roommates have been helping me a lot with not eating sweets/chocolate. Instead of snacking on chocolate I'm eating apples and pretzels. I actually made an amazing meal last night. It was really easy and SO good. I have chicken quesadillas. I have whole wheat tortillas and I boiled chicken and cut them into little chunks. I put some colby jack cheese on the bottom, put the chicken on, put more cheese on then the tortilla on top. I would put it in the mircowave for about 30 seconds to a minute. I also realized that drinking a lot of water or milk is really good for you. No soda. I haven't had soda for about 2 weeks now. I've gone longer without soda but I really didn't think I could go that long without it. I got an e-mail back from Diana (roundlady) and she said that she's willing to help me. She wants me to e-mail her back what I've been eating for a week and my exercise for a week. I've actually been pretty horrible at exercising lately. I guess walking around campus is my exercise. I'm going to be better next week though. I'm going to be home and I'll have a lot of free time on my hands where I can run and cook good foods and exercise.
I am very excited to go home. Even though I'll be going home a lot this semester, I'll still be very happy and relaxed when I'm home with my parents and siblings. I have friend down here that goes home just about every weekend because she gets so homesick. I feel bad for her but I totally know how she feels about being homesick. I'm not that bad. I do miss my parents a lot. I also want to work on a project. I don't know what that'll be yet but if you have any ideas, let me know.
My roommates are good. Sheri has been crazy busy with art. She gets to display her art at the AltSpace here at Snow. It's so awesome. I'll be sure to get pictures and post them up here soon. She's been busy with midterms too and tons of art and drawing and welding. Alaina is doing good. She is back and forth from being home. She's going to be here for a while I think. I actually think she'll be here for spring break next week. Sad huh? Zenobia is doing okay right now. She's going to Spain over spring break because her fiance got in a car accident monday morning (their time) and it was a head on collision with drunk drivers. He's currently in a coma and is needing brain and back surgery. She is such a strong woman. She has so much faith in the Lord of whatever will happen will happen for a reason. So I don't know if she'll be coming back to Snow after spring break. It just depends on her situation with him. Please keep them both in your prayers. His name is Sebastian.

March
It is so weird to see that March is already here. Time is flying by. February went by really fast. But then again, it's the shortest month out all 12 months.
This week went by pretty good. It was slow at first. Once your busy with homework and other stuff, the week flies by.
So on Tuesday this week, I was on Youtube looking at videos for healthy, cheap recipes and I came across this lady named Diana. She has a blog www.roundorama.com and she does all these videos about eating healthy and exercising. I instantly got hooked. That night I had to go shopping for food cause I was getting low on food. I started buying all these fruits and vegetables and whole grain stuff. All my friends were so curious as to why I'm buying all this healthy stuff and I told them the reasons. I have been making my own meals this week and they have been very healthy. I made dinner on Wednesday night and I made brown rice and then cooked some vegetables like cauliflower, brocoli, carrots and grilled som chicken and had it over the rice. Oh my good gravy! It was so good. I loved it. I didn't use any butter or anything like that so it was healthy and everything! Then last night I had a baked potato with a litte grated cheese on top with a side of veggies again. It was delicious. I am becoming so much more open to different fruits and vegetables that I haven't liked in the past. This week has been so awesome. I've been lowering the sweets a lot. My roommate Sheri bought some Oreo's last night and she was eating a few and she looked at me and she said "You don't want these disgusting chocolate frosting stuff! No you don't!" She has been helping me so much this week with not eating as many sweets. Whenever I'd see some chocolate or candy she'd say "You don't want that! It's bad for you!" I'd say "No" and walk away. I love Sheri! She's so funny and awesome!
Alaina has been gone this week cause she has clinicals in Payson. She lives in Orem which is closer to Payson then Ephraim so she's living at home this week. She'll be back here in a few days.
Yesterday I was so excited for spring. In the morning, it was so nice and beautiful! I go to History class at 1:30. I look out the window at 2ish and it's snowing. I check the window a few minutes later and it's a blizzard outside! It was like that til about 4:30ish. We got 5 inches of snow on the ground in just 2 and a half hours! I wanted to go running and stuff last night....NO! it got ruined! (Jarom is going to get mad) It's March and it's still snowing! It needs to disappear til next fall.

School
School has been incredibly busy for me lately. I've been running around everywhere for the past week. I've had an awesome week too.
School is school. I've had a lot of homework and studying the past week. It has made me incredibly tired and I go home this weekend so I will be happy once I'm in the car tomorrow afternoon.
I have had some good luck with dating lately. I've been on 3 dates in the past week. How awesome is that? The first one was last Thursday and we went to Roys (FatJacks) for dinner then we went to the bowling alley where they had this bowl party. You got unlimited bowling, air hockey, pool, guitar hero and drinks. It was a lot of fun. The second date was Saturday. I actually had Ethan and Stuart come down to Snow and go on a date with some of my friends. We made them dinner at my friends apartment. We had taco salad and for dessert we had chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches. We then played some games. First we played BS and the second game we played Egyptian Rat Slap. That got really intense. It was so much fun cause we were all involved in the game. We just chilled for a little while afterwards. Megan and Stuart played their guitars and some others watched a movie. I think Ethan and Stuart had a really fun time that night. The girls did as well. The third date was this past Tuesday. It was with my friend Casey. We went to Manti for dinner. I don't remember the place where we ate but I do know that it was a steak house place. something Grill. If you know, let me know. We then went bowling. We played 2 games and he won both times. It was a close game though. His final score was 135 and mine was 131.
I found out who I'm going to live with next year here at Snow. I am going to be living in the same apartment as I am now. Just a different room. There are 3 bedrooms in the apartment. The first and third rooms are private and the second room is shared. I live in the shared room this year. Next year I will be living in the first room with my friend Kaitlyn Waters. The second room is a private room and that is where my friend Victoria Toa is going to live. The third room is shared and I don't know who is going to live in there. I think it will be 2 freshman next year. I am so excited to come back here in the fall. It'll be a lot of fun.
As I said before, I'm coming home tomorrow for the weekend. It is my friends mission farewell on Sunday so I will be there to see him one last time for 2 years. He has been my friend ever since Head Start! That's before pre-school! He's an awesome guy and he will be a good missionary. Another reason why I'm coming home this weekend is because my best friend Deseree is moving in with my second mom Yvie. Yvie lives in Tooele so I will get to spend more time with Des! I am so excited to see her and Yvie. We're having a party tomorrow night so it'll be so much fun!

Sheri and NyQuil
So last night was very interesting. I totally wish Alaina (my roommate) would've been home to watch.
Sheri (another roommate) has been sick the past week or so and yesterday she just wasn't feeling good at all. She's got a bad cold. So I asked her if she wanted to take some NyQuil before she goes to bed and she said that she's never had NyQuil before. So I told her that it would help her get to sleep very easily. She got all excited saying "Yes! I wanna get knocked out!" hahaha I was so surprised that she wanted to take it that bad.
So at about 11:45pm last night I gave her the medicine and she said "I just swallow it....right?" I kept a straight face and said "No Sheri, you have to chew it til it disolves in your mouth" and she pulled this disgusted look on her face like she didn't want to do it anymore. I statrted laughing and told her that I was kidding and she was relieved. I then told her that she should be ready for bed before she takes it so she got ready for bed then she got all nervous asking "So does it just happen really fast or is it a slow process?" and I told her that it was a slow process even though I wanted to joke with her again so bad. She took it and she got all excited again saying "I can't wait to go to sleep!" She was fast asleep within 20 minutes. She said this morning "It really worked! I totally felt it hit me!" She was all excited that it worked and she might be doing it again tonight. I think it would be funny to record it sometime. She was pretty crazy last night. :D

Life...
I know there aren't very many people that read this blog of mine. But I hope that I get some feedback from this.
As you should all know, Shaun and I are not goether anymore and he has moved on. He has a girlfriend now that makes him so happy. I really am happy for him. It's a little difficult being his friend. Seeing him with someone else makes me miss him and it sometimes makes me feel lonely.
Another reason why I'm feeling this way is that I am alone down here. The rest of the family is up in Logan or back home in Lake Point. It was good when Vanessa was here.
I really don't know why to do about the whole thing. I really want to move on but there is no one really to move on with. I've had some pretty rough times the past 7 months when it comes to dating. I've been rejected twice, stood up twice and I've only been on 3 dates. The first of the 3 dates happened to be the worst date ever.
I know that I'm only 18 but I feel like it's been ages since I've been with a guy. I really don't know what to do. I see all my friends are getting into relationships or getting engaged and I just think of when it'll be my turn. I guess I just need to be patient. I honestly don't know how Phil can do it (sorry Phil). Anyway, if you have any advice, please feel free to share it with me.

New Roommate
I feel so bad that I haven't kept up with my blog. I do have time to update it. I just forget. I really want you all to know whats going on in my life.
So I got a new roommate this semester. Melanie moved to a different dorm but she's not that far away. She just moved into the dorm behind me. She visits often so I haven't lost touch with her. My new roommate is awesome. Her name is Zenobia. She's 26. She's from Hong Kong, China. She also served a mission in Hong Kong. She is a convert to the church. She's been a member for over 7 years. She is engaged to a guy named Sebastian. He's from Spain. He's actually the son of the ambassador of Spain. Kinda cool huh? They will be getting married in August and she has asked me to be her bridesmaid. I'm so excited for her and Sebastian. He's going to be coming over in April for General Conference. Zenobia teaches me so many new things. She has been such an awesome influence on me. I have become such good friends with her and with others because of her.
School is going good. I am taking 15 credits this semester so it's not too bad. I'm taking Education 1010 with a lab, Math 1010, Mass Media, P.E, Convocations, History 1700 and of course Institute. My classes are going good. My Ed 1010 lab has been pretty fun. I go to Ephraim Elementary every Monday and Wednesday and work with a kindergarten class for about an hour. They are so funny. The first day I was in the class, the teacher introduced me and one of the students said "Thats my sister!" Now obviously I don't live in Ephraim and I don't have a younger sister so the kids would come up to me and ask me if I'm someones older sister. I would politely have to tell them no. I've been having so much fun with the kids. I can't wait til I'm actually teaching kids.
I get to go home this weekend. I'm so excited to go home and be with my parents again. I feel like I haven't been home for a long time. It's been about a month since I came home last. I just miss being at home. I love school, don't get me wrong, it's just that sometimes school can get kind of boring and home would be the fun place for a while.
Well, I'll try and update my blog more than I have in the last 6 months. Peace out!
P.S. The picture is of all of us having dinner for the first time with Zenobia. :D

Finally Updated My Blog!
Hey! It's definitely been a while since I last updated my blog. Last time was in August and it's NOVEMBER!! lol I've been very busy with school. This is my first semester at Snow and it's tough. College is very fun but it's a lot of work. The end of the semester is coming in about a month. Actually the end of my finals are a month from today. Oh my gosh! I'm not ready yet!
I love my roommates! They are awesome. We have a quote wall in our apartment and we add to it everyday. We have so much fun together. We are a little family here at Snow in our apartment. :D My roommate Melanie is now my best friend. She is awesome. Sometimes she can get pretty crazy but for most of the time, she's a good friend and sometimes I just think that her and I were meant to be roommates. There are those days where I have a bad day and she cheers me up right away and vise versa. I LOVE HER! :D If you just look at all my pictures and videos on facebook you will see that we have way too much fun and we get random a lot. :D
Classes are going okay for me. I'm taking 5 classes this semester and some of them are pretty easy but others are not so easy. I'm very nervous for finals. I really don't want to fail any of my classes. I'm just praying that i do well. I'll leave some pictures of my roommates so you can see them all. The first one is of Mel and I. The next one is of Sheri and I and the last one is of Alaina, yeah, we got into some frosting and had a little too much fun :) I hope to update my blog more often. Only time will tell.
