B.O.R.E.D.

Tonight has been a SLOW night.  I was going to go to dodge ball but I didn't have a ride. So I sat on my butt, ate some hamburger helper, and painted my fingernails.  With the recent lack of homework (I turned in my big essay), I don't have a lot to do.  Today at school was nothing eventful, just math class, and english. Funny Story. So today I get to my english class where our rough draft for our paper is due.  My friend Lisa was telling me how she was having a rough time putting together her essay.  I told her that all you have to do is pick an argument topic, choose a side, and research to support it.  It took about 5 seconds before she says, "Chelsey, this isn't the argument paper, it's the analysis paper..." I wrote the wrong paper. But luckily, the paper that I wrote was in between both so I can still use it. Fun morning. I also had lunch at the institute! Corn Dog 25c Gatorade 75c Reese's 50c! I say it is success!! Hopefully tomorrow will be a little bit more exciting than today!  I can't wait for Friday! McKenzie, Preston, Football game, Nails, How to Train your dragon, Summer, Dinner, Conference, Homemade bread, Chicken! Sounds like a good weekend to me!!!!

Done for the day...almost

It's really nice not having class until 12:45 on Tuesdays...except for the fact that I sleep in and then have a hard time getting anything done.  This morning I woke up at about 9:30 to a facebook text saying that some kid had sent me a message.  It turned into a really creepy conversation and I ended up blocking him within about 20 minutes.  I have never seen this kid before but he messaged me and told me I was cute so I said thanks and sent like two other messages back and forth and then it turned into are you single and we should get together. I wanted to cry it was so scary! It's done now.  haha After all of that I decided to make my pumpkin chocolate chip bread! Then it hit me that we didn't have any bread pans so I made muffins instead. Our whole house smells like fall now, all cinnamony and pumpkiny! Mmmmmm :) I must  get it from my mother. Me and Monet went to class and then walked home. It's funny how easily you adjust to new weather.  It is about 85 degrees and we almost passed out from heat exhaustion walking home. The only thing I can think of is because the sun is so much closer, it makes it feel a TON hotter then it actually is.

This weekend I am coming down to the valley for conference. I just couldn't miss out on my family tradition of  a big breakfast and cinnamon rolls afterwards. :) I also really wanted my conference notebook that I have been using since I was about 12.  It should be fun...I'm praying for rain! That would be SOOOO nice.

All that's left to do for the day is to do some homework and institute tonight.  It's getting really hard to leave home again once we get back.  Like tonight going to institute just seems like a long ways out of our way but I'm still excited to go. I love it.

PS last night we made hamburgers and homemade french fries. It was really yummy  but our apartment smelled like shrimp the whole rest of the night. Weird I know. We can DEFINITELY still cook without guys here...that is all I have to say!

To go to class...or not go to class?!

Well today I had my first encounter with ditching... :) I really didn't want to go to my physics class...it's right in the middle of the day and I was already home AND we needed to go shopping! So...I didn't go! haha I felt a little bad at first but when we looked at what we were learning and realized we already knew everything, it just seemed sorta pointless to go.  Instead we came home and waited until the maintenance guy fixed our toilet and we went grocery shopping! Now learning from my very educated mother, we did a little bit of coupon searching before we went and it actually saved us a TON of money! We went to Wal Mart, Basha's, Fry's, and Safeway! Our refrigerator is now full of fresh food and delicious snacks that we were all out of! 

Me and Monet were talking and we realized that we feel like grown ups! It was so fun for us to make our shopping list, clip our coupons (Which Monet said she didn't think she would EVER do), and took off on our journey! It is a lot of fun and it's good practice.

Funny story. So as I'm sitting here typing this I get a text from Monet that says, "You like what you see?! ;)"  It's a little inside joke of ours and when you say it you do a little hip thrusting and bounce around! I told her that I LOVE it! She asked me where I was and I told her in my room. Two minutes later my door opens and there is Monet standing in the doorway doing her little thing! I started laughing so hard that it basically woke Breanne up! She was a little confused to say the least! Ah fun with roommates! I would not trade them for anything they are awesome! 

Tonight we had Hawaiian haystacks for dinner! Well...we only had rice, the chicken stuff and pineapple but it was still delicious! And after dinner, we still had all of these sodas from labor day weekend that we just couldn't get rid of so, today when we went shopping we bought vanilla ice cream and tonight we had root beer  floats while watching 13 going on 30. All in all it was a pretty amazing day!  I love the bonding time me and Monet get on our walks home from school too. Like today, we rode my bike down the hill....yes I said we! For the past week every time we come home from school, on the hill down from the entrance of our apartment complex, Monet pedals and I balance on the handle bars! We have it down so good! Except today she almost hit a car...but that's all! haha Good times!

Good Weekend :)

What a great couple of days! Friday after class Me, Monet, and Maddy set out on our adventure of a surprise weekend to the valley! We drove for like 3 hours and then ended up at the Superstition Mall (thanks to grandma) walking into Charlotte Russe with a suitcase, two pillows, and a huge backpack,  Mom turns around, sees me, and recognized me within a second and a half. I went and gave her a hug and we went shopping! Grandma took me to dinner (FOOD COURT!) and I ate my first fresh food in about a month! It was delicious :)  I love Paradise Bakery! When I got home I woke up Bo because I wanted to see him and this is how the conversation went:
Me: Bo wake up, open your eyes
Bo: no
Me: Do you know who this is?
Bo:...
Me: Do you know who is talking to you?
Bo: Chelsey...
Me: Did you know I'm at your house right now?
Bo: No you're not...
Me: Yes I am open your eyes!
Bo: No... (rolls over and goes back to sleep!)
He didn't even remember in the morning that I did it! But he was very excited to see me :)
This was Katy's reaction. All of the little kids had slept in the loft the night before so I slept in Brooklyn's bed. When Katy woke up and saw two people in the beds and Brooklyn in the loft, she says to Whitley who is awake...
Katy: Whitley, right now...there is someone in your room.
Whitley: Who is it?>
Katy: ...I don't know.
Whitley then proceeded to tell her it was me and take her in to give me a hug. All of the other kids followed by opening the door, spouting out "Oh my gosh!" or "What the heck?!"

Saturday I went to the rec center with Kianna, Preston, and Dallon. We rock climbed and played Walley-Ball which was SO STINKIN' FUN!  We then went to Bahama Bucks because Preston had never been and we were hot and sweaty! When I got home I got ready and went to the movies with gram.  On the way there I stopped at the Merchants and talked to them for a while; while making McKenzie VERY jealous that I got to see her family and she didn't!  After the movie we went back to grandma's house and talked until I realized I had early church and had to go home! After checking in with mom...(Which was weird) I passed out in my not-so-comfortable bed :)

Sunday was good. Mom made special breakfast for me and provided me with fruits and vegetables! I didn't realize it was going to be harder to leave the second time...but it was. I was in tears, Mom was in tears, and Katy and Bo almost were too. It was really sad and I miss them already.  School again tomorrow...Back to reality!

Wednesday, oh Wednesday!

Wednesday is such a weird day of the week! Like really. It's right in the middle and there is really no point.  Today I had class from 9:10 to 9:35 and then not again until 1:50.  I had so much homework today that I really just did homework from the time I got home until the time I had to leave again.  We finally figured out bill pay for mom and the cell phone too! It has all in all been a productive day! There is dodge-ball tonight but as of right now I don't have a ride! I really want to go though! I seriously LOVE institute! I am there just about every single night whether for class or just to hang out with all of my super awesome new friends!
Last night I went to play volleyball after our Book of Mormon class but the competition got a little too intense for me! So....I went and decided to do swing dancing instead! My friend Ryan was teaching us how to do all of these cool dance moves and lifts and turns and stuff!

Sooooo much fun!!!!

I almost died...But seriously, it was so stinkin' fun!  I seriously love institute!





This week is going to be so fun! I just love it :) college life is the BEST!!!!!
And in the words of Monet...That is all!

It's been a while!

This weekend has been so crazy! Friday after school the institute planned a Lava Tubes trip! We went to the institute building and we rode with our friend Kelly! It was such a long drive and we totally got lost going the wrong direction but we made it there. We hiked in and started walking when I ran into...Deanna Hardy! My sweet cousin! She is actually in my ward which is so exciting! We came home and Tlaloc came over and we watched When in Rome. I fell asleep in the middle of the movie. Saturday morning we woke up and did homework until we left to get on the hot and sweaty on the bus to ASU!! We checked in and began our journey. :) Summer taught me the rubix cube and I practiced until we got there! I'm getting pretty good let me tell you! We got to ASU at about 3:20 and were allowed off the bus at 4:20..:/ We went to In-N-Out and shoved our faces full of delicious burgers! At 7:00 I met up with my date and the fun began! We watched the whole game from the very top row of the stadium. It was VERY fun. We walked back to In-N-Out and got shakes and walked back! The bus left at midnight and we got home at about 2:45! We slept in until 10:30 and ate eggs and toast for breakfast! Church at one in our new ward. We left after sunday school so we could be home when my parents stopped by. The funniest part was this set of text messages...
Mom-we are in town
Me- Ok!
Mom- Can we use your bathrooms?
Me- Yes!!
AHahahahaha great times. They came, used our bathrooms, and left haha. We ate a HUGE dinner of mashed potatoes, fried chicken, corn, beans, gravy, lemonade...the works! Then we all passed out watching little rascals. Pretty intense three days! Institute in the morning and classes begin again!

Labor day fun!

So today we had a crazy day! We had a house full of people all day! Zach, Riley, Sirrinna, Justis, Whitley, Carsten, and Jack plus all of us four girls had breakfast this morning! Waffles, bacon and sausage! What sweet boys to cook for us. Then at about lunch time we went to Walnut Canyon and had a picnic. It was an easy hike and two of us (myself and Riley) went barefoot the whole way! There were all of these cool Indian cave dwellings and things that you could get in and explore; it was really neat! The boys even climbed somewhere they weren't supposed to ;)  We came home, and Whitley went home! We all went swimming and then out to lunch. After that, pretty much everyone crashed! Everyone just left about half an hour ago and we have put our house back together, done the dishes, and just chilled for a little bit! It feels so nice! School again tomorrow, back to reality! I'll put the pictures up tomorrow when we find the cameras! Night!

Do you like what you see?!

College life

I am going to have some of the buffest legs you will ever see! The hill outside my apartment is well, KILLER! Riding down? Not hard at all. Quite fun actually! Riding up? Not possible. We have to walk our bikes up the hill!! But hey, once you get to the top and you get to go sit on the couch in your cool apartment, it's all worth it! AND I'm going to be a tan beast because we are outside so much! I have a tan line already from one day. Yesterday we all attended our classes and were done by like 2:00. We came home, did some homework, and proceeded to walk all over our little area of flagstaff going to two different banks and Wendy's! We got home, Monet and Breanne went to the institute barbecue and Summer and I stayed  home to do homework. When Breanne and Monet got home they had brought two friends! We rented Avatar and we watched it! So much fun! I love making new friends!! Not much going on around here today, everyone is just kind of doing their own thing! About to go meet Monet for lunch! What a life :)
