Small Hours, Long Days: 2011

29 December 2011

I have until Sunday. Then I'm back to the frozen wasteland.
I went to Laguna again last night. Happens a lot.
I went shopping yesterday and today. I'm really sleepy now. It's only 6. Not an acceptable bedtime. I want to watch a movie. But I don't know what I want or where I want to watch it. Or with whom.
I should probably shower... But I probably won't.
I played with all the kids at my house yesterday. There were about 13 in my house. It was insanity.
I got a surprise letter yesterday. It was nice(:
I;m not sure if I am excited to go back to the place or if I am dreading it. There are many things I dislike about being there, but I do like the people and I miss Kenz.
I've been eating too much and it's making me start to feel panicky.

Home for the Holidays

Christmas was a blur of family and of hiding from said family. It was pretty decent. I got to cook which is always fun. I didn't get any Christmas presents. I got to open presents, but they were for the kinect my family got and since I don't live at home they aren't really for me. I got myself j'adore by Dior though(: Woot.
Yesterday I woke up and went to my friend Grant's house for breakfast and a movie. It was The Illusionist. Soo good. I've never seen it before, but it was really good. It was so pretty!

Then we went downtown so he could shop for important things. We got some coconut water with chunks and aloe with mango. The aloe was good, the coconut water... not so much. The chucks made it bearable.

Then we went down to the beach. The water wasn't that cold. The tide was really low, so we went and looked at all the pier leg things. They are covered in muscles and barnacles and snails and something we don't know. It was cool. I got to see the animal inside a barnacle.

Ups and Downs

This week has been full of ups and downs.
I went shooting for the first time this weekend. I rode a quad for the firt time. I went to Olivera Road in LA yesterday. Then there are many little things between which are not so fun or pleasent to think or write about. On to the fun things.

My first expierience shooting. I'm never invited on manly outings, so this time I decided to invite myself. it was really fun!

Olivera St. is this market in LA that has all these neat Latin American shops. They sell the coolest things. It kind of reminded me of wandering the markets in europe. Jenna and I kept getting seperated from the boys. It was fun but it was a bummer we couldn't stay longer.

Today is my brother Jon's 16th birthday. Woot for him. He got heart attacked this morning. So sweet.

Meh

Today was a stress filled day. I got both my essays done for my classes. However, I didn't finish the portfolio. Not even close as a matter of fact. I needed 20 entries. I only had 8. I didn't even turn in half because I didn't know we were supposed to. Oh and I totally forgot to put my name on them. Bombed that. I should feel more stressed about that. Normally I'd be hyperventilating and freaking out. I don't know why. These last few weeks I just haven't really cared about much of anything.
After that I took a nap. I just need naps so often lately. I'm always so tired.
Then I got to have fun and hang out with a friend(: It was a lot of fun even though we pretty much did nothing. We watched a movie and hung out. It was a yoga pants-movie watching kind of day. I had fun(:(: Happyhappyhappy.

On to my religion final essay.

I just want to sleep and go places with people and finish my fambam's photobooks on shutterfly. That's it. Maybe tumblr too. Mainly I just don't want to do things that actually matter. Its kind of a problem.

Also. Elephant girl upstairs is going to die >:| She sucks. I wish she'd learn how to walk like a human.

Ward Christmas Party/Last Social of the Semester

So we went to our ward thingy. It was cool and all that jazz. They served Mexican food and so many types of cheesecake! We also did a white elephant exchange. I got a religious book),: It was fun anyway. I wore my green and gold heels! It was awesome.

White elephant gifts

I just realized I have 5 essays to do... I guess I'll go do that...

Sammy's Famous Pie Shakes

So Sammy's is the place to go. Especially if nothing else is going on. We went there last night to get a shake. We got a massive chocolate oreo pie shake. The girl recommended it over the normal oreo shake. It was soooooo not good. We couldn't eat any of it. It was a bummer. Sammy's was fun. We saw a bunch of people we knew and watched a couple have a fight. Ya know. Good times.

e.s.s.a.y.

So I need to write a single spaced paper, 10 pages max, by Monday. It's on the culture of my school. any topic but it has to discuss my culture here. I had so many good ideas this whole semester. Now that I actually need to write it though, I am drawing a complete blank. I have counted so many people's calories, contacted the Crossroads for nutritional information (which they don't provide yet), and obsessed over nutrition here for weeks. I still don't know what to say about it. Its starting to make me panic. This is my final! I have to have something meaningful to say about health and nutrition here at BYU I! There must be something I can relate to the one thing I obsess about more than anything else: nutrition. It took me so long to get all of this information for nothing.
I also need to write a sonnet... in Spanish... I tried so hard earlier this week. I got 5 lines with the correct amount of syllabus. Then I remembered it needed to rhyme. Poetry isn't my forte in English, and there really is no change in Spanish. So I have nothing now. I am terribly at rhyming. Can't I just make it alliterate? I can do that. Easy. Spanish rhyming is difficult for me to get too. Oh this is a problem.
On the positive side we got frozen custard from Nielson's yesterday.We semi-crashed a ward party haha.

It is so gooood.

Gingerbread house

Kenz and I made a gingerbread house! We thought it would be fun to make a gingerbread house in honor of Hanukkah which is later this month.

And now I need to do my homework and study for finals. So sad.

Late Nights

So this week has had a million birthdays. Jenna's was this week and KD's. Adam's was the day after. So many!

Adam also got his mission call yesterday. Talk about a sweet birthday present. He's going to Zimbabwe! How cool is that.

Jenna and I have been going on many late night adventures, one of them being a trip to Denny's. Which is honestly the only place open. Not even IHOP was open.

Campus is all decorated for Christmas! So we celebrated.

It is currently 10 degrees outside and lightly snowing. I want to die a little. Its dreadful.

Ice Skating

Tonight we went ice skating! I've only been ice skating one other time in my life, so this was an adventure. The ice rink wasn't the most smooth... and I am not the best skater... Therefore, it was a challenge for me. A fun challenge though. After that we got hot chocolate and played Scrabble.

I really appreciate this picture because I caught some kid just fall on his face.

Also. We had a huge debate on how to say the word "cupcake" in Spanish. I consulted with the internet and a few people who speak Spanish. No one has a clear answer on it. My favorite one, however, is kekitos.

3 Weeks Till Christmas Break

So my parents decided to fly me down for Thanksgiving. I got to see all the kids. They are all getting so tall. For Thanksgiving we had a bunch of family over. I made homemade cranberry sauce which I only got a little of because I was at the kid table. Kid table = lame. Anyway. I don't know why I got stuck there.
I went to In-n-Out while I was there. I even had a hamburger. I know so many calories. But I did it anyway.

Of course I had to go shopping at a good mall while I was home. I bought so many things and now have a list of things I want still. It felt amazing. I even went to Zara<3 Day complete. I did not compete in Black Friday though.

On Thanksgiving day, my brother, dad, aunt, uncle, and I all went to visit family members' graves. I'm named after my great-grandma, so its always kind of weird to see my name on a headstone...

My brother Ben and I(:

My little sister had me put make up on her one day. Usually I have softer,easy to remove make up for her. I forgot it of course. So we used mine.

On Friday I went on a bike ride with my friend. We went all throughout the Central Park in my area and looked at all the ducks. It was super fun!

Saturday night I hung out with Dane. It was the last time I will see him for two years. He's been called to serve a mission in Colombia. We had a super fun night. I'm going to miss him. A lot.

The night I had to leave we went out for sushi. I miss fish and sushi so much. I ate wayyy too much though. My brother and his friend.

It was my 9 year old brother's first time. He didn't like it... haha

And now I am home. Back in the frozen wasteland. Its very cold here. Not snowing. Yet. My apartment is freezing though! I feel like the cut off the heating for the break. Rude.
