Life

Sooo...I guess it's been a little while since I posted here.
I kind of got majorly distracted from caring about telling the internet what I was up to.
So here's some stuff:

• I've now finished 2 years of college, one left to go and it's FREAKING ME OUT maybe more than a little bit. I don't want to have to have a real life/job/etc.
• I've decided that until I'm forced to be less so, I will be as lazy as I can possibly be and watch very much TV/read very many books (so...basically like normal).
• I decided that I will never EVER teach math, because...effort, and stress and all that. So...now when people ask me what my major is and I reply: "math." I get to explain in response to their next question that I have absolutely no intention of teaching it and have absolutely no idea what I will do when I graduate. So, there.
• I spend way too much time with my cat. To the point that I have interesting conversations with her...
• I have two nephews who are crazy and like to try and bite me sometimes. Emmett's almost 2 (in 5 days) and Henrik's 15.5 months old. Oh, and then there's Rydia who should be born sometime in the next few weeks. 
• My friend Heather Armstrong is (finally) getting married (haha ;D). Which is crazy and awesome.
• One of my nearest and dearest friends, Matt Merkley has returned home from his mission! And he's taller and less baby-faced. So...that's weirding me out as well. ;) 
• Behold his grown-up-ness (as stolen from Facebook as I have not, as of yet seen him in person):

• This also means that my other dear friend, Josh Clement will be home in less than a month. So...yippee and hooray and all that! 
• And, finally. Due to the two year hiatus of me seeing these guys, I decided to remember what I looked like back when they left. And it was weird ;) 

(Although the glasses weren't really mine. But this best shows my hair back then, bangs and whatnot)

• And compared to now, my back then-ness was quite different. Here's me now:

So...that's interesting and all.

And...that's basically enough that I'm going to stop typing now and just post this, because I should really go to bed. Sleep time...

Sooo...hey

It's been a while. My computer kind of broke. I got busy with fall semester finals. I did the Christmas break thing (it was sweeet :D). I came back to school. I got sick (twice). I did the Spring break thing. And now here I am, a little more than halfway through the semester. I just gotta say...
English sucks.
It sucks the fun out of my days at times, and it does this thing where it hangs over my head and yet I still put it off until way late. And that's bad. Can't I just not have to do it anymore?
Apparently not. I still have to write that 12-15 page research paper. Oh, and the annotated bibliography. So, may I repeat?
English sucks.
(No offense to those who enjoy English, but I am entitled to my own opinion, aren't I?)

It's Fall Break Time

Hi there,

So...this is a bit later than I wanted to post this, and consequently, it may be a bit lazily put together. I'm somewhat sleepy, and...my eyes hurt from the onion in the air from whatever soup my mother is making. So, I'll try to put this together quickly. Here goes.

Food stuffs:

 Part of lunch one day

 The other part of lunch

 Wonderful pizza with wonderful people

Most delicious water...ever

Many, many Snapchats

Rachel is...fun ;)

 Erika's cat seems cool

 I woke up at 9:30 this morning...I don't know why

 Should I be afraid?

 We're cool. You know it, Rachel, Kellie and I.

 My mom really likes my nephew, I call him Edge :)

 My cat likes to nap in chairs

 Erika must have been in heaven

'Nuff said

Erika got me hooked on Pinterest this week...just a bit. Here are a couple of pins I like:

 Will someone make up one of these for me?

Mwahaha, tan(gerine)

Here's some more stuff:

 I figured out my schedule for next semester

Look at how beautiful they look staring at the wall

Also, I got to come home, with:

Bekah 

 Jessica

 (Tori too)

We sang Les Mis

I finally got to see my cat again!

 I put her in the laundry cupboard

 She's so silly

She communicates with the fish

She sits on couches

As I mentioned above, I went to eat delicious pizza at a place called The Slab with my two dear, old friends: Rachel Davis and Kellie Moss. It was quite wonderful. Yay :)

And, finally, I entertained my nephew for a while. We had fun,

Just like The Lion King

So there.

Those Lazy College Weeks

Here's the second installment in what I hope will be a weekly "feature" called "These are the pictures I've taken this week that can explain what I've been up to..."
So here goes.

First, here's the food-related pictures:

 We used my blender for the first time. That was exciting :)

 I made delicious potatoes. Mmmmm...potatoes

 My low-fat apple crisp (I may have put 2/3 a stick of butter instead of 2/3 of a cup...)

 Free sandwiches outside the institute building. I might have had two.

The olives were very expressive, and alien-like.

Do you think I made too much? Maybe...

Snapchat is fun, don't you think?

Here are some of my MANY snapchats from this past week:

 From Erika

To Erika

 Imma eat you!

 To my good friend Rachel

We brush our teeth together. We're just like that...

And sometimes I'm not allowed to see.

Some more stuff:

 I play Yahtzee late at night against a computer

 I draw beautiful pictures

Especially of my roommate, Erika.

She draws beautiful pictures as well.

Here are some things you should know:

 1. College students are totally pro at jaywalking.

2. This dude plays the bongos...all the time. 

3. Bekah taught about the divided line. Look at all that beautiful...complex writing.

4. My Calculus III professor, Professor Armstrong, is kind of awesome :)

Here are some words of wisdom from him: 

• "We don't like pointy circles."
• "You could not swing a dead cat in here without hitting a bunch of vectors."
• "What comes before 'h' in the alphabet?"
• "Somebody probably just died because I wrote that..."
• "If you use the word orthogonal this weekend at the party , there will be love."

• "Make up some triangles. Have some fun. Math is all about fun..."
• "You must have kids like I do...or be kids like I have..."
• "Say 'r' for wrench."
• "I know I'm a flaming nerd. It's alright."
• "You use a parameter. Hence the name paranormal...parametric."
• "Someone double dog dared me, or called me a dirty dog."
• "Kramar has made me who I am today. That's totally true considering Seinfeld."
• "Books have to have magical answers so students are well equipped when they go out in the world." 
• "P-not on the plane. Sounds almost like a commandment."
• "Have a great weekend, which means full of math."
• "Has anyone ever driven a horse? I have, three times. And by induction, never will again."
• "Boy, if you use these words at your party on Friday there will be so much love."
• "Wait, I'm a middle aged man. I know how to do anything."
• "I had the impression this was an intelligent class..."
• "It's kind of oscillating mixed with masculine, so...it's manly oscillation."
• "I use hand parentheses instead of air quotes."
• "Email is, remember, texting on a computer." 
• "In case what I'm drawing here isn't recognizable as a picture, I've labeled it picture."
• "That is an interesting problem, I'm surprised I assigned it."
• "For it to be writable. It's a new word...it's a thing."
• "Infinity is, like, way bigger than 2." 
• "It could mean, unlimited ice cream cone. Oooh...unlimited ice cream."
• "I wouldn't use this if I were sending a spaceship to Saturn, but if I were sending one to Parowan it would be close enough."
• "There's gotta be something I wanted to say here because i put 'note.'"

And here's one from my Linear Algebra professor, Dr. Turner:

• "Notice 'Lil is female. She's extra confusing." 

Enjoy your week y'all, with these people in my life, I know I will be. :D
