So...

Christmas was fun.
Flagstaff was fun.
New Year's was fun.
It was all fun.
.
I really quite enjoy having a month off of school & I still have one more week left. Here is what I've done so far.
.
WARNING: LARGE quantities of pictures follow. Seriously. Buckle up.
.
Christmas
Melanie & Josh came down & we did things like decorate cookies, open presents together & hike
.
Flagstaff
The Thursday after Christmas some friends & I decided to go on a road trip to Flagstaff. It was so much fun! We didn't go snowboarding or anything but we did get to play in some snow. With broken pieces of sled & cardboard that we found. But someone before us had made some snow ramps so that was cool & fun.
(Oh ya, if you want to stay dry: Saran wrap baby. It totally works)
.
New Year's
I went to my cousin Justin's & his wife Amy's apartment for some funness. We ate & played games. That's what I call fun! No pictures though. Sorry
.
The Office
I can't believe I did it, but I watched every single episode of the office for the first time. It took quite a lot of trips to Blockbuster. It's pretty darn funny though. Jim, Pam & Dwight are kind of my heroes. & now I have one more major celebrity crush to add to the list: John Krasinski. He replaces Wentworth easily as number one.
.
Scrapbooking
This year I decided to make presents for friends that involved scrapbooking. It was fun but very time consuming & I was about to shoot myself if I had to trace, cut or glue anything else. For two people I made little journals & for another friend I made a little quote book thing.
They're not the best & some of the pages bug me, but oh well.
.
So that's what I've been up to! Oh, & I went to my first Suns game tonight!! They lost but it was still way fun.
.
Time for me to sleep. Goodbye.

Oh ya, so I got tagged

I'm it. Kim so nicefully (nicefully, I like that word) tagged me so now you get to know five more things about me you probably didn't want to know! Be entertained. Here goes.
.
1. I'm a horrible reader.

I'm slow & it can take me like 5 tries to understand what I'm reading if it's semi-difficult. Words & me just don't get along. In AP English (which is based on reading books) I didn't read a single one all the way through. I think I need to find the creator of sparknotes & give him a check or something.
.

2. I don't like pancakes.

They require syrup, which I really don't like. Gross I think I'm getting sick thinking about them.
.

3. I watched Barney til I was like 8.

Whenever I was sick & stayed home from school I'd watch it. Of course I pretended to hate it but oh how I enjoyed that purple dancing singing dinosaur.
.

4. I enjoy celebrity gossip.

It's lame, none of my business & probably not even halfway true, but I still can't resist the urge to glance excitedly through a magazine while waiting to check out. Sadly, I'm pretty sure I've even said things like, "I can't believe she's dating him" a few times. Maybe more than a few.
.

5. Walking through Ulta makes me drool.

That's a figure of speech people. I don't really drool. But I do wish that I could buy one of everything in the store. Even if I don't need anything, when I walk through any cosmetic section all I think is "I WANT". I have pretty good shopping self-control, but if I gave in it would most likely be at a place like that.
.

Well, that's five. Thank goodness too because I can't think of anything else whatsoever. I'm supposed to tag 5 more people but that's probably more than who read my blog! So if you read this, consider yourself tagged.

The stress is catching up to me

Thursday, December 6

random post of happiness

1 final down
3 more to go
.
& despite the fact that I have a monstrous lump of something stuck in my throat that's choking me & driving me insane,
I've been super happy the last few days!!
.
I'm way excited for the future & having my own apartment/house that I can decorate & having my own family!
.
Even with the finals coming & being sick all week I haven't been stressed at all. It's insane.
.
Plus, I must have gotten wacked in the face with a crafty stick in my sleep cuz suddenly I want to do EVERYTHING crafty like sew things with patterns, make scrapbook journals, decorate cakes, make necklaces, etc etc. I spent an hour at Michael's just walking through the isles & dreaming.
.
If anyone has ideas for cute crafty christmas presents, throw em at me!
Well, time to study for tomorrow's final.
.
Adios yos
.
p.s. I'm totally a fan of Christmas again. I can't wait for it! I love buying/making presents for people.

A-S-U!!

Me: Hey guess what?
Blogger friends: What Amy?
Me: I went to my very first ASU football game on Saturday!!
Blogger friends: No way! How exciting! What was the weather like?
Me: Freezing.
Well, it's true my friends. I can now call myself a real Sun Devil. So, when I asked my friend where our seats were and she said the student section, what she really meant was those one seats that are so high you have to hike to get to them and you can touch the airplanes. But it's ok because it was TONS of fun. They even won just for me. Oh, & where we sat was right where basically ALL of the U of A fans sat, so that was pretty fun! People can get crazy defensive though. All weekend before the game I was sick with some sore throat thing so going in the cold and screaming my lungs out (I had to, I couldn't let the wildcats outcheer us!!) probably wasn't the best idea. My voice is still lost. Here are some pictures I took to commemorate the experience. There aren't many, and none of them are really any good, But they're all I have.
(the purpose of this picture is to show that I was so cold that I was desperate enough to put my hood up. That's extreme)
I decided next year I'm getting season tickets. I'm a fanatic at heart.
