Today was the last Sunday of this semester!!! (Next week we're all gonna be partying with Shell and Nate and Meg and Sam and the like.) YAY! It was a really good Sunday. After we did the sacrament, the choir did this whole Christmas program instead of having speakers. We sang 6 songs. The last one was called Carol of Joy. It was so awesome! We've been having a little bit of trouble getting that song up to par, just because it's kind of long and there's lots of harder parts and we'd only worked on it like 4 times. But when we performed, we sounded SO AWESOME. It was incredible. We really sounded incredible. It was some powerful stuff.
The choir program ended up being a little short, and so when we finished we still had like 15 minutes left. The bishop got up and bore a brief but extremely wonderful testimony and then said that since he likes Christmas hymns so much, he wanted us to sing a bunch of them together as a congregation for the last little bit. So we did! It was one of those moments where I just got this overwhelming feeling of gratitude that I could come out to BYU and get to see all these people who have the same beliefs as me. It was great. :)
So this week is finals week. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I'm sort of freaking out. Finals are extremely important. I'm mostly worried about Physical Science-that's what I've focused most of my studying on thus far. Wish me luck!
I'm going to be home in less than 2 weeks! Hooray!
Also, I'm extremely stoked for this party at Shell and Nate's this weekend. It's gonna be a shindig to remember.
In 8 days I'm going to be on my merry way to San Diego. It's going to be a blast. We're going to sea world! And the beach! And we're doing a bunch of other fun things that I will be sure to fill you all in on.
Jenna- THANK YOU FOR YOUR LETTER. It was truly awesome. Also, I can't wait to come home and be with your hilariousness again.
EVERYONE at home - Dad, Mom, Jenna, Ryan, Kaylyn, Shauna, Doug, Juliann, Jackson, Russell, Emilee... I seriously can not wait to see you all again. I miss you all SO much. (Also- Amber, you should totally move down closer so I can see you on breaks like these. Just sayin.)
Love you all! Wish me luck on finals! Thanks for all the prayers!

Exciting and Happy Things
1. I AM GOING HOME THIS MONTH!!!!! i am SO stinkin excited about this. Me and Emma have a paper chain in our room counting down the days, and it's getting really short! Brother Young (Asst. Marching band director) hooked me up with a FREE plane ticket home after the bowl game. I leave on the 21st at 11:00 am from the LAX airport. I am so excited I can hardly stand it.
2. I've been on two dates! Both with the same guy, John Christiansen. I've started to blog about them like a billion times, but I never finish. Anyway, the first date we went on was 2 weeks ago. We went geocaching. It was really fun, and we actually found 2 treasure things! Then we went to the Brick Oven for supper and ate a TON of salad and pizza and their specially made root beer, which is the best root beer in the universe. It's even better than Barq's. He was a real gentleman the whole time, and he opened doors for me, walked on the side of the sidewalk closest to the road, and was just really nice.
The other date was just last night. We went to a divine comedy show. When he picked me up he had a giant yellow gerber daisy for me. It's so pretty, and it's in a cup of water in the kitchen right now.
Divine Comedy was great! They are so hilarious! It was a party. They take little breaks in between skits they do and turn off all the lights and shower everyone with glow sticks. It was seriously like the funniest thing I've ever seen.
We swung by John's house afterwards to grab a quick California roll, because I'd never had one. It's some kind of american-ized sushi. It was actually pretty darn good, surprisingly.
There's a ton of other stuff I should probably say about those dates but I really don't want to make this a novel. If you want deets, give me a call! Or a letter! Or an email! Or something!
3. I FINALLY cut Jamie's hair! Yesterday! And it was soooo fun! It's inspired me to start my own salon. I can't believe I've never cut hair before.
So he came over to my house with all of his hair cutting stuff and we watched the SEC championship while I chopped it. I can't remember if I already said that I was GOING to shave it, because he has a family member starting chemo soon. But apparently they found out his nice plan and got a little angry about it and told him not to shave his head after all. So I just gave him a normal buzz cut. It was nice that he could meet my roommates and that we got to know each other a little better. Plus, he gave me some junior mints that he got at the creamery. And ANYONE that gives me free junior mints is automatically my favorite.
His new hairdo looks awesome. I messed up around his right ear just a little bit. But only a little and you couldn't even really tell unless you really looked at it real hard for a long time. Also, I forgot to take pictures. Heh. Whoops. Next time.
4. Jamie's totally into me. Actually that's probably a little bit of a lie. However, after I got home from my date with John he sent me a text saying that he's gotten a compliment on his haircut. :D Which is mostly what has inspired me to open my salon. We talked for a while via texts and he asked me if I was doing pep band. (Which I'm not. ) I told him I'd probably be working all the time anyway, but I wasn't sure where. AND THEN HE SAID THAT THE MTC IS ALWAYS HIRING AND THAT I SHOULD GET A JOB AS A SECURITY GUARD, WHICH IS WHAT HE DOES. Holy smokes. It makes me happy that he thinks I should work with him. Even though I'm apparently not cool enough to get asked on a date by him. Pomp.
5. This is the last week of classes! And we don't even have class on Friday!
6. Delaney's family got a new Christmas tree this year, and they are letting us use their old one. It's a huge one! She said it's like 7 feet tall. I have NO CLUE where we are going to put it though. There's really no room in our whole apartment. Also, they're also going to let us use ornaments they're not using. Score!
7. Christmas music has started! and it makes me happy.
8. I got a compliment on my sweater! From Delaney. It still counts.
9. Emma made pork chops for supper tonight. She baked them in the oven with ketchup and a lemon slice on each one. And they were delicious.
10. The bishop gave me sweet tarts today after tithing settlement. Also, we had cupcakes after choir.
11. I finally saw the Dark Knight Rises! At Beck and Ben's house! It was soooo good. Highly recommended by me.
12. I'm reading books for fun! Preparation precedes power, and The Screwtape Letters. Both of which are also highly recommended by me.
13. It's not even that cold outside anymore!
14. Testimony meeting was SO good today. It was definitely the best one so far in this ward.
15. Delaney and her bf Rich made toffee the other day on a date because they're cute. And it's really really really really reallllllllllllly amazing. It has walnuts on it. And chocolate.
16. We're watching Home Alone this week sometime! Neither Delaney nor Emma have ever seen it! So sad, these deprived children.
17. The other day after Marching band, I walked home with a nice boy I met on the bus named David. That boy can sang. And he's super duper nice. And it was fun not to walk all the way home by myself.
18. I live really close to Beck and Ben and Trevor. And also kind of close to Shell and Nate and Addison and Bryn and Leah. And that is possibly the best thing about being at BYU. I don't know how we got such a stellar family guys. We seriously lucked out in that department.
19. I've never paid to do laundry. Every time I think about this it just makes me feel extremely happy and also a little bit spoiled. It's just so fantastic.
20. And D, I haven't gotten sick even once this whole semester. I've had a bunch of days where I was feeling like I was getting sick, but it hasn't actually happened. Which is just MARVELOUS.
On a different note, finals are the week after this week. Prayers much appreciated. Also letters. Also chocolate. Love you all!

Rocky Mountain
Rocky Mountain is this thing in Utah that's pretty much like festival in GA. A bunch of high school bands come and perform, compete, and the like. Then at the end, the BYU Cougar Marching Band performs and shows em all how it's done! It's supposed to get high schoolers really excited to join the band after they graduate. It happened kind of a long time ago- I might have posted something about it. Since then we've learned a whole new show that we performed this past Friday.
This is the show we did at Rocky Mountain. It's the second show we learned this year. I don't think this is our best performance, but it's pretty awesome if I do say so myself. A million bucks says you can't find me! Also, keep an ear out for first trumpet. That's what I played. The screaming (super high trumpet notes) is all coming from Clif.

Today
If we're starting "today" at midnight, then today started spectacularly! I was looking for my anatomy book that I used in high school, which I bought because it's the coolest book EVER and it was only six dollars. Anyway, Emma had ear infections a ton when she was little, and now she has giant holes in both of her eardrums. I have no clue how she has no hearing loss. So I was going to read the chapter on ears and figure it out. Much to my dismay, it wasn't on my desk with all of my other books. I started digging around under my bed, and I looked in one of the boxes. My book wasn't in there but something else was. I found my black jacket! The one I'd given up all hope of finding! Hallelujah! Also, there was another pair of jammie pants in there, which was great because all my other ones were dirty except for my shorts, and it was REALLY cold yesterday.
After I woke up this morning at 9, I went out to the kitchen wearing my newly found pink plaid PJ's, my fuzzy pink slippers, and my ginormous duck robe. Toasty warm. :) I was sitting at the kitchen table with Emma, fighting to keep my eyes open while eating. We had been there about 5 minutes when she turned to me and said, "Look," and then she opened up the blinds really fast. It was snowing! Not just wimpy snow either. Like, we're talking snowflakes as big as Manhattan. I still can't decide if I'm excited, full of dread, or just shocked that it's snowing in October.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCubllXIe10
Anyway, after all that, I showered, got ready for the day, and did a little homework. I had a meeting with my Advisor lady today at 11:00, and the bus was leaving at 10:40. At 10:39 I started walking over to the bus stop, because I live less than a minute away. I was wearing my newly found jacket and some shoes that are definitely NOT the warmest, and definitely not even close to being waterproof... in fact, they're more like sponges. So I got to the bus stop and didn't see the bus. I figured I was a little early, so I stood there waiting for a few seconds. As I was looking around, I spotted the bus at the it of Wyview, driving away without me! I SPRINTED after it waving my arms, to no avail. It left me there.
I was NOT going to be late to this meeting. I turned on my heel away from the dag blasted bus exit, and started walking toward campus. On a normal day, it usually takes me about 25 minutes to get to the middle of campus, where all the important buildings are. By this point, I only had about 18. Good thing I'm an excellent speed walker. Thank heavens for marching band.
I walked all the way there, including up the MASSIVE hill at the end of the walk, and went into the Wilk, which is where the meeting was. I ran into the Advisement Center at 11:04, worried that the lady I was having the meeting with (Irene) was going to hate me and yell at me for being late. I talked with the guy at the desk and told him what I was there for, and he buzzed Irene. She came out at like 11:20 or something ridiculous. I apologized for my lateness, figuring she was thinking something like, "She wasted my time, so I'll waste even MORE of hers." She replied with something to the effect of, "Oh you were late? I was the late one. I was just having a nice pleasant chat with one of my colleagues and didn't even look at the time. Also, I've started taking steroids, so I hope you don't mind if I take forever to lay out all of the calcium and vitamins I'll have to be taking now, because steroids are bad for your bones apparently. I play the violin and the viola. You'll need to buy these expensive pens to write in your planner with, it's the only way you'll be organized. It's okay though, they're only three dollars a piece! My favorite color is purple. Let me write that IN YOUR PLANNER because I'm slightly doofy. 'I like purple', there we are. Great. You're taking 15 credits this semester? Wow, that's a lot of classes. You'll need to study at least 700 hours per week. I hope that won't be a problem. Here, you should fill out all of these to-do lists and weekly calendars. Also, I want you to color code them with the fancy pens you'll be buying. blah blah blah..."
My reaction:
I got all sweaty and gross for nothing. She was 20 minutes late.
I don't exactly care if you're taking steroids.
Heck no woman, I am NOT buying no three dollar pens. You crazy.
Don't write in my planner, even if your favorite color is purple. (By the way, she was wearing a LOT of purple.)
Yeah, I know it's a lot of classes. Thank you for pointing that out.
The meeting was supposed to be only 30 minutes, and she kept me in there for an hour. And I asked if I was supposed to bring the schedule/to do lists back so she could check them off or something, and she said that sounded like a great idea and to come in sometime next week. Nice.
After I was done on campus, I walked up to the bus stop so I could go home. I got there right on time, only to see the bus pull out of the parking lot just as I got there. NICE. At least it had stopped snowing by then. I called mom, which improved my mood by about 6000%, and then the bell tower played the Harry Potter theme music, which made it even more awesome. The bus came after about 20 minutes, right as it started snowing again. I sat next to a really sweet girl from my ward named Alyssa and it was great. She's from around Augusta, GA and she has the same accent as Sister Adair.
Anyway... I just wanted that documented.
In other news, I got a letter from John! Aunt Susan's John! He's doing pretty good. He'd LOVE some letters though, I'm sure. So get on that. :)
I don't have ANY tests this week!!!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNA!!! I can not BELIEVE you're 17, old woman. I still feel like I'm 17 all the time. Sometimes I forget I'm actually 18. You are so beautiful and hilarious and intelligent and wonderful and fun to be with and awesome and I reeeeeeeally love you a lot! I miss you all the time. I'm really glad we're sisters and also that we're besties 4eva, yo. And hey, now you can get your DRIVER'S LICENSE!!!!! 10:00 AND 2:00!!!!! Even though you're definitely a clog pump. And a shawty pomp. And this video reminds me of you.

Perfectly Happy
I'm done doing homework for the night, this crazy week is FINALLY over, and now I'm sitting on my bed in my jammies listening to Luke Bryan and eating a bag of salad (because I'm vegetable deprived). AND, in the morning, there's no game, just a trumpet breakfast at Clif's house where I will be stuffing my face with hashbrowns, bacon, orange juice and Clif's wife's famous stuffed french toast, which actually sounds disgusting, but which I will eat anyway.
PLUS, I didn't shower today, my hair was in a ponytail, I had zero make up on, and I was wearing my GIANT plaid shirt... and 3 people told me how beautiful I looked today. And I only knew one of them. The other ones were just random people in classes.
Also, I'm going to a corn maze soon with the trumpets.
Pretty much, right now is fabulous, and a welcome break.

Crazy Week
I've got the craziest week of my life coming up. I'll be taking three tests this week (Humanities, Physical Science, and New Testament), a smaller quiz (Env. Bio), turning in a paper I've got to redo completely, since I did it wrong the first time, giving blood for the first time on Wednesday, and I've still got practice three times this week. Wow. I would really appreciate some prayers on my behalf... I'm going to need all the help I can get this week.

Sorry this took so long ma
This is the one picture where you can actually see my uniform. I know it's not a good one, but still, it's a picture.
Also, I found this little gem:
Pretty much, we're great.
PS- That guy is Devin, the guy who makes me laugh at EVERYTHING he says, regardless if it's funny or not.

Holy Mackerel
I love General Conference! I think it is pretty much the most awesome thing ever that we get to hear the prophet and his apostles speak directly to us twice a year. I always come away from conference feeling spiritually rejuvenated, and pondering the talks that stuck out to me most.
This year's 182nd Semi Annual General Conference has had me pondering on things all day long; I feel like today's conference was an especially good one. I've been rereading my notes from Elder Cook and President Uchtdorf's talks from the morning session, and I really liked M Russell Ballard's and Neil L Anderson's talks from this afternoon. It is truly amazing how they knew just what I needed to hear!
This morning in the beginning of the session, President Monson made an extremely important announcement that pretty much flipped my world upside down. I'm kind of freaking out a little bit:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_nfQUt7d2o
BAM. There it is. This was my reaction when I heard that- :O -> : ) -> :'D. This has gotten me so excited for the young men I know, like Spencer, Colin, Luis, and Kevin, all from back home. All of them will be eligible to leave for missions in December! (Well, Colin, Luis and Kevin could go right now if they wanted!) It is so crazy and wonderful. Crazy wonderful. And then, to top it off, they lowered the age for women to 19. There were several shouts/tears of joy around my apartment, and we heard a bunch of other people through the walls too. It was truly a historic moment that will change everything, and I will never ever forget it. Even just thinking about it now gives me chills.
This has caused me to do a LOT of reflecting and pondering today. For some girls in my ward, the decision was easy. I know of like three people who have decided to go on missions, some after just this semester because by then they'll be old enough. There's also a girl in my section, Julie, who decided she was going to go as well. This is so amazing!
Here are my thoughts, as far as serving a mission goes:
1. I'll be 19 this April, so I would have at least this whole school year done if I were to go, which is excellent.
2. Every decision I've ever made in my life I feel has been very heavily influenced by people who are older than me in our family. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, it's just the way it is, especially because I've always been slightly indecisive. When I played trumpet in band, it was because pretty much everyone else did too. I tried out for drum major mostly because Beck did it. When I applied for college, I only applied to UGA and BYU, because that's where almost everyone else went. I feel like this will be the first decision I have ever made completely on my own. No one else in our family has ever had this opportunity before. I'll have people all telling me to do different things. But in the end, it all comes down to what I feel like the Lord wants me to do. There will be many prayers involved, and I'd appreciate them from yall also. : )
3. Financially, I don't know if it'll even be possible. I was talking to Spencer the other day, and he said for guys you're supposed to have $10,000 saved up. I assume for sister missionaries it's a little less, just because missions aren't as long... but yikes! I don't know if I'll EVER have even close to that amount of money any time soon.
4. I feel like going on a mission would be the best thing I've ever done. For the past while (since I graduated), I've just been feeling kind of lost. I very recently made a rough outline for my life (the whole physical therapy thing), but I just don't know- classes are SO HARD and I've been trying really hard, but I just don't know if I'm going to be able to make the grades to get into medical school ANYWHERE. I feel like if I went on a mission, it would help me to mature both spiritually and emotionally, as well as teaching me important things like responsibility and diligence, both of which could probably be improved from what they are right now, and those lessons would enrich my life forever. There's really no reason NOT to go, if I can get enough money saved up. Unless...
5. Dating. Obviously, this is something I have pretty much no control over what happens when, but it's been kind of lurking in the back of my brain all day long. What if while I'm on my mission, should I go, my husband is here at BYU just waiting around for me? Although, I guess the Lord wouldn't give me the green light if I was supposed to get married instead...
This is a very exciting but also very scary thing. Prayers are VERY much appreciated on my behalf, just so I can have some idea of what I'd like to do. I've got a while to think this all over, but I see no point in putting it off until my birthday. : )
This is so exciting! Hooray for modern day revelation! And missionary work! And general conference!
Oh, PS- If anyone knows where my black jacket is, you should let me know because I don't have it anymore. : ) I love you all!

Which is not necessarily a bad thing, it's just the way it is, especially because I've always been slightly indecisive. When I played trumpet in band, it was because pretty much everyone else did too. I tried out for drum major mostly because Beck did it. When I applied for college, I only applied to UGA and BYU, because that's where almost everyone else went. I feel like this will be the first decision I have ever made completely on my own. No one else in our family has ever had this opportunity before. I'll have people all telling me to do different things. But in the end, it all comes down to what I feel like the Lord wants me to do. There will be many prayers involved, and I'd appreciate them from yall also. : )
3. Financially, I don't know if it'll even be possible. I was talking to Spencer the other day, and he said for guys you're supposed to have $10,000 saved up. I assume for sister missionaries it's a little less, just because missions aren't as long... but yikes! I don't know if I'll EVER have even close to that amount of money any time soon.
4. I feel like going on a mission would be the best thing I've ever done. For the past while (since I graduated), I've just been feeling kind of lost. I very recently made a rough outline for my life (the whole physical therapy thing), but I just don't know- classes are SO HARD and I've been trying really hard, but I just don't know if I'm going to be able to make the grades to get into medical school ANYWHERE. I feel like if I went on a mission, it would help me to mature both spiritually and emotionally, as well as teaching me important things like responsibility and diligence, both of which could probably be improved from what they are right now, and those lessons would enrich my life forever. There's really no reason NOT to go, if I can get enough money saved up. Unless...
5. Dating. Obviously, this is something I have pretty much no control over what happens when, but it's been kind of lurking in the back of my brain all day long. What if while I'm on my mission, should I go, my husband is here at BYU just waiting around for me? Although, I guess the Lord wouldn't give me the green light if I was supposed to get married instead...
This is a very exciting but also very scary thing. Prayers are VERY much appreciated on my behalf, just so I can have some idea of what I'd like to do. I've got a while to think this all over, but I see no point in putting it off until my birthday. : )
This is so exciting! Hooray for modern day revelation! And missionary work! And general conference!
Oh, PS- If anyone knows where my black jacket is, you should let me know because I don't have it anymore. : ) I love you all!

Mood Swings and Hilarity
I feel like for the past few days I've been going through extreme and slightly abrupt mood changes. There's been hours of greatness, where I feel super productive and on top of the world. There's been yesterday, where I just felt slightly indifferent to everything and also a little anti social. There was last night, where I could not stop laughing at EVERYTHING. And then today has been rock bottom, filled with lots of crying and chips ahoy and feelings of inadequacy and being overwhelmed.
I just want to say that even though I was feeling so awful, pretty much as soon as I started watching this video, I laughed my head off for like 10 minutes straight. It's so hilarious. It's also really weird though, just a heads up. But it's too good not to share. Enjoy the awesome.

KALLIDGE!
I am so brain dead right now! I got up at 7:45 today, studied for my EBio test till around 9, and had class from 10-3, which included my test. Which isn't too bad, right? (By the way- I feel like the test went pretty well! But after my first test which I was extremely confident about and ended up getting a 67 on, I don't want to get my hopes up too high... I'm hoping I got an 80, to be safe.) But THEN in New Testament, Brother Griffin mentioned, "Oh, and by the way, don't forget your "Scholarly Research Paper" is due tonight at midnight!" Wait... WHAT?!?!?!?I spent the whole rest of the class worrying about that stinking paper. How could I have missed this?
I got home around 3:15, made cake bars for FHE and did all my dishes in speed record time, and started in on my paper at about 4:00. I ended up not even getting to go the FHE, and everyone ate all the cake bars. : ( But the point of this whole story is, I just turned in my paper about ten minutes ago. (It's 12:02 right now.) I've been sitting at my kitchen table, hunched over and squinting at the screen for almost 8 full hours. Wow. What has college done to me? And I still have all my homework for tomorrow to do. Ew.
In better news, at ward prayer on Sunday, a guy named Hunter made a bunch of balloon animals. We would call out an animal, and he could make it every time, without fail. It was pretty awesome. Also, my ward has started playing a ward-wide game of assassin. We each have a target, and to kill them we have to hit them on the wrist with a spoon. Mine's a girl named Ashley who I've only talked to like once. But I saw her playing basketball once, so I'm hoping I can just stakeout the court and play with her and then kill her when we're done. :) Also, it's going to be super sneaky because I got one of the little tiny sample spoons from the creamery today. For those of you who aren't creamery spoon savvy, they're about as long as my pinky. Oh yeah. Stealthy. Once I kill her, I get to take on her target, and at the end the winner is crowned the ultimate assassin.
No, I haven't gone on any dates yet. However, things with Jamie are going swimmingly, and October is the month of corn mazes and haunted houses and pumpkin carving... and I reeeeeally like pumpkin carving. *cough* Also, there's a guy in my ward named Ben who looks just like Julian Smith. His name's Ben.
Thanks to everyone who's written me letters! They are SO great! They put a smile on my face for like 3 days, for real. It's great! Thanks!
I'm the visiting teaching supervisor! I can't remember if I already told yall that. But I'm really excited! I can't wait for visiting teaching assignments to come out!
Alright- I've got to get away from this blasted computer. Love you all!

Sigh
I have an Environmental Biology test coming up pretty soon. I have absolutely zero motivation to continue what little studying I've already accomplished. None. I decided to make a list of everything I would rather do than study for this test. When I run out of things, I'll start studying again. Also, I just want to say that although this post reflects negativity and frustration, life is still pretty good. I just hate this class.
I would rather:
-eat food
-go buy some new pants
-paint my fingernails/toenails
-lay in the snow in a swimming suit
-throw up
-faint at marching practice
-take a walk
-eat a hot banana
-step in dog poo
-hold a wiggly, moderately sized octopus
-go to a YSA dance with Daverl.
-have a giant hang nail
-watch a movie with Delaney's commentary
-rotate my feet 180 degrees
-rotate my finger 180 degrees
-shake 20 people with sweaty palms' hands
-get hit in the face with a tether ball/ volleyball/basketball
-get yelled at by Clif
-get sneezed on
-ride a rollercoaster without buckling up first
-get a bloody nose in the middle of a test
-eat an oyster
-do the dishes
-eat a ladybug
Sigh. This isn't really helping. I still have absolutely NO motivation, and I could probably go on with this list forever. Because frankly, I don't care about EBio at all, especially when all we talk about is soil, because my teacher majored in soil science or something lame like that. Ugh.

Another update
School is so crazy these days! I feel like I always have a paper due, and like the reading is never going to end. Sometimes it's really overwhelming, but usually I'm dealing with it okay. New Testament is still my favorite class ever; my teacher is just incredible!
So, aside from school, life is just peachy. Last Friday my roommates and I had a movie night! We watched Dear John, which is reallllllllllllllllllllly sad. I cried a LOT. But Delaney and Emma have hearts of steel or something, so they didn't cry. Also, Delaney is really bad to watch love movies with. She talks A LOT. But it's okay, because we've gotten to the point in our relationship where I can just be like, "Delaney! You are ruining this movie! Quit it!" It's nice. :) We're like kind of almost sisters now. Anyway, for movie night we made popcorn and ate cookies and about half way through we decided to make brownies, which ended up taking like 45 minutes to cook instead of 20, like they were supposed to. We eat a lot of junk in my apartment. But I don't even feel very guilty about that since I have band 6 hours a week plus games. Also, a thirty minute walk to school every day, and a thirty minute walk back. Plus, I'm eating beans and rice at least once a day. AND me and Beck did Jillian Michaels yesterday. My right bun is super sore right now. So yeah. If I WASN'T eating all of this junk, I'd probably be teaching Jillian a thing or two.
Yesterday, I had my get to know you time with the Bishop. He's the same bishop I had Winter semester! Weird, huh? I started off by telling him that I wasn't chronically depressed or anti social, like I was for pretty much all of winter semester. And instead of being like, "Oh good! What a relief, because last semester you were SUPER lame." he just apologized for the ward not putting their arm around me a little more. :') What a nice guy. But we had a great long visit and talked about school and what I like to do and how I'm pretty sure I broke my rib mountain biking with Colin that one time... don't ask me how that came up, I have no idea! But he's super duper friendly and he gave me a Snickers when we were done. I don't have a calling yet though- hopefully soon I will.
Brother Ostler is the second counselor in the bishopric. I love him and his wife so much! They're both really old and sweet and practice in choir with us. I talk to her a lot on Sundays and she always has about a million sweet things to say and is just so kind and wonderful. She makes treats for everyone after choir- one week we had cinnamon rolls. I had an interview with Bro Ostler yesterday as well so that I can go to the Brigham City Temple Dedication in about a week and a half. He said that he was talking to his wife about callings the other day and that she was very impressed with me! I wonder what that means... because I'm definitely calling-free right now. Hmmmmm...
Jamie still super attractive. Sigh. Hurry up and ask me out, boy! PS- He's a Utes fan. The game on Saturday is going to be so awesome. (Especially if he sits next to me again- I'll be 3 for 3!)
So in New Testament yesterday, we were reading around John 2. I'm pretty sure it's verse 9 that has the best punctuation EVER. Just start reading in John 2, and when you get to it, you'll know. It pretty much made my day yesterday!
Last night around 10:45 I REALLY wanted to go for a walk around Wyview and my roommates went with me so I wouldn't get raped. It was so great! We just walked around for a little while and then me and Delaney had cartwheel contests and played this awesome game where you do like a million different kinds of handstands. It was so fun! Emma doesn't really get into stuff like hand stands out in public yet... but hopefully by the end of the semester she will. :) We laid on the grass and stared up at the stars and talked about pre-Earth life and how we wonder if we knew each other up there. We talked about pretty much everything, and laughed our heads off at nothing. But it was REALLY cold last night, and Emma was wearing short sleeves, so we left and walked back. But it was so great. I'm glad that I love them, even though we DEFINITELY have our differences. And I'm also kind of glad that we don't always get along. Which is weird. But I just like it that it's okay that we don't always get along. We just talk about whatever's bugging us and move on. It's awesome.
On Sunday I went over to my neighbor's house and ate dessert with them! They are SO hilarious. I really like them. Hopefully we're best friends real soon.
I'm really super tan right now.
Mom, you know that plaid shirt that was like a million sizes too big? I washed it, and it's still to big. But I'm wearing it to school/practice today anyway, because it's really super comfy and I love it. It reminds me of shirts that you used to wear back in the day when I was little. :) I'll take a picture so you can see for yourself later.
AND, Shell and Shauna, you know that simple facewash we all love? Well, I highly recommend the exfoliating one. It's DIVINE.
You guys know how I really with I had a southern accent? Well, brother Ostler, the bishop, Delaney, AND Emma all told me yesterday that I did! Bro Ostler and the bishop just told me of their own accord, and then I asked Delaney and Emma. That makes me so happy. :'D
Life is grand! I really miss all you people back home. WRITE ME SOME LETTERS. Let me know what's up! I love you all sooooo so much! Sometimes I get really homesick still, but overall I'm extremely happy out here and I feel as though I'm growing up just a little bit. I feel more independent, I guess. My testimony of the gospel grows so much, pretty much every single day. It really is true! I think of every single one of you every single day, and I'm surprised my roommates haven't gotten sick of hearing me talk about how spectacular all of you are. Love you all!

First week: CHECK
The first week of class is OVER! And I am loving this break, already. :)
BREAKING NEWS: Okay, so a few minutes ago there was a knock at the door. Since my roommies are gone til later today (they're both at home because they live like 5 seconds away) I answered the door. And there was so one there! Just 6 DELICIOUS looking homemade cookies and a note that says:
Aloha Brianna, Delaney, and Emma,
Hope you all had a banging first week of school and that none of you have gotten into too much trouble yet. It's going to be a great year getting to know the most beautiful sisters at BYU! These cookies are legit, made with the spirit of love and friendship from our humble abode. Please don't thank us, thank the Lord from whom all blessings flow! We hop ethat you enjoy them and that they are just as sweet as the fruit of life. If you see us around campus or at our apartment, please come and say hi so that we can get to know each and every one of you!!!
Me ke aloha pumehana,
The BOIZ of 414
(Karl, Michael, Preston, Palakiko)
And there was a nice picture of the 4 of them.
My first reaction: I laughed my head off for like 20 minutes. Only at BYU would you EVER get a note like that. HA! I've met Karl, Michael and Palakiko. Palakiko is from Hawaii is super cool and hilarious. And Karl and Michael collected my fast offerings yesterday. Michael is on the drumline, which makes him super
attractive. Plus, all of them were at choir yesterday, which makes them all amazing anyway.
Second reaction: I love all of them. Me and my roommies WILL go over there one day and ask all of them to play volleyball or something. It was so sweet of them to do that!
These cookies ARE legit. Soooo good.
A close up so you guys can tell me which one to marry. L to R: Karl, Michael, Preston, Palakiko.
The awesome cookies they left!!!!!! Minus one, that I just ate.
Anyway...
So classes were pretty good. I'm taking Western humanities, Physical Science, Environmental Biology, New Testament, and Writing & Rhetoric. And Marching Band, 3 times a week plus games. I'd say I've got a pretty good load of stuff. Humanities is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally really really really really boring. But I'll get an A anyway, just because I refuse to get anything less. I'm getting all A's guys. The end. All my other ones are great. I LOOOOOVE my New Testament teacher, Tyler Griffin. He's so nice and sweet and excited about the gospel. Every class I just want to bawl my eyes out.
I really love BYU. For real, guys. I was a little nervous before I came out here for Round 2. But it has been so good. Band is wonderful. I love everything about it. We had a marching band fireside the day after band camp. Because we're all mormons. And it was soooo cool! I've never really felt so close to another group of people besides my own family. But now the band (especially the trumpet section- the ENTIRE thing) is like my new family. I love them all so much! There's such a feeling of unity and love that I've gotten from everyone I've met here, and I absolutely love love love love love it. It's so nice guys. Everyone should come to BYU. I bet I could just walk up to a stranger in my ward and be like hey can I sleep in your apartment tonight? And they'd say yes and we'd have a slumber party and they would feed me great food and it would just be so nice. I just feel like being really nice to EVERYONE here, all the time!
I had my first game! I forgot to take pictures though... whoopsies. Next time. Sorry ma. But it was good! I sat next to Jamie the whole time. <3 It was nice. It was kind of a boring game, though. But we won! I think it was like 30-6 or something. I messed up about a billion times, but it's okay because apparently the band wasn't even on tv at all. Lame. But I WAS on the giant screen in the stadium! I was jammin to the fight song while we were waiting on the sidelines to go onto the field for halftime. And then I looked up, and there I was! I looked really weird though, I had to move around a little just to verify that it was me. But once I was certain, I'm pretty sure my eyes got reallllly big, and I looked right into the GIANT camera that the guy was holding and waved. It was great. I'm famous. I'll be sure to get you all an autograph.
Also, Beck and Ben came to the game! It was SO good to see them there! They screamed my name and I saw them and freaked out. It was great! Thanks SOOOOO much for coming guys!
Well, I've got a paper to write for tomorrow. About how I think immodesty is the worst fad today. SO much fun.
Also, I'd recommend listening to "At Last" by Etta James. That woman has got more soul in her pinky than the entire white population.
The end. Love you all! Write me! Here's my address!

I had my first game! I forgot to take pictures though... whoopsies. Next time. Sorry ma. But it was good! I sat next to Jamie the whole time. <3 It was nice. It was kind of a boring game, though. But we won! I think it was like 30-6 or something. I messed up about a billion times, but it's okay because apparently the band wasn't even on tv at all. Lame. But I WAS on the giant screen in the stadium! I was jammin to the fight song while we were waiting on the sidelines to go onto the field for halftime. And then I looked up, and there I was! I looked really weird though, I had to move around a little just to verify that it was me. But once I was certain, I'm pretty sure my eyes got reallllly big, and I looked right into the GIANT camera that the guy was holding and waved. It was great. I'm famous. I'll be sure to get you all an autograph.
Also, Beck and Ben came to the game! It was SO good to see them there! They screamed my name and I saw them and freaked out. It was great! Thanks SOOOOO much for coming guys!
Well, I've got a paper to write for tomorrow. About how I think immodesty is the worst fad today. SO much fun.
Also, I'd recommend listening to "At Last" by Etta James. That woman has got more soul in her pinky than the entire white population.
The end. Love you all! Write me! Here's my address!

Band Camp is OVER!!! Plus, random thoughts.
I have very mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it was so fun! There are so many awesome people in my section! I love them so much! (Especially Jamie- the RM I stand next to during like all of pregame. He went to Argentina on his mission. And he's single. And he added me on Facebook. To quote the famous Trace Adkins: "Oowee, shut my mouth, slap your grandma!" That's what I feel like. In other words, it's love. BAHAHA.) And all of them are really nice and awesome. Also, I'm pretty sure I've lost like 50 pounds this week, which is just groovy.
But on the other hand, I was so tired yesterday! And my tan lines are SOOOO bad. I'll have to take a picture today before they go away. Also, my arms are getting realllllllly strong from holding up my trumpet for forever. You might think this is a good thing, but my arms are pretty much man arms now. With tan lines on them. So this is not a good thing.
So yeah. Mixed emotions about it being over. but we still have 3 practices a week (Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday) for like 2 hours each or something. And that makes me happy. :)
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Our first football game is on Thursday. That's right. This Thursday. AND WE'RE GOING TO BE ON TV! ESPN, baby. We will be the first nationally televised game of the entire football season! I'm going to be on TV! It's especially awesome because I'm at the front for like almost all of everything. How spectacular.
ALSO IMPORTANT: If we win 6 games this season, we're all going to San Diego for the Poinsetta Bowl on Ryan's birthday! (12/20, for those of you who can't remember.) I'm sad that it's on Ryan's bday, but SO happy that I will be able to be home for Christmas. And to go to San Diego!
Random things that I want you all to know, in no particular order:
My section leader is Clifton Hargus; we call him Clif. He was in the Marines for 15 years and he's 37 with 3 kids. And he kind of scares me. He's been playing for longer than I've been alive, so he's SUUUUPER good. He can play for SOOO long and SOOO high and SOOOOO stinkin loud! If I were him, I think I would die from over-awesomeness. This is his first year as section leader, and I think he's pretty good about knowing what he's doing, but he's not very personal/cuddly/a get-to-know-you-on-a-personal-level kind of guy. I think he's been trying though. I think he thinks that I'm more fragile than everybody else or something... because when I'm a quarter step out of the line, he just tells me. With everyone else, he's like, "LOOK AT THIS LINE! YOU ARE A MILE AWAY FROM THE FORM, GO CHOKE YOURSELF!" He says go choke yourself a lot. Which is dogey of him. But yeah. With me, he's just like, Brianna, go forward just a skosh. And when I get it right, he tells me good job. I guess I'm just the favorite.
There's a guy in the baritone section that talks just like Kevin from The Office. His name is Brian though.
Some people in life are just extremely funny to me. Even when they're not saying anything funny. And there's TWO of them in the trumpet section. Aaron Vaughn and Devon something. When they're just having a normal conversation with me, I always just start laughing reeeeally hard and I can't stop. It's so embarrassing. Especially with Aaron. Because Devin almost always starts laughing just as hard as me, and so we just laugh at nothing together. But Aaron is just kind of like... not laughing. And it's awkward and embarrassing and makes me feel like a terrible person.
The dress I'm wearing right now is a maternity dress. But you can't even tell, so it's okay.
We got our uniforms yesterday! I'm pretty sure my pants are too big, but I'd much rather have too big than too small. So I guess it's okay.
There's only like 5 girls in the entire trumpet section (32 trumpets). It's really weird. I'm used to it being like half and half. But all of us are real good friends now. Their names are: Jessica, Alynne, Julie, Melissa... and I think that's it. It's so weird.
Church doesn't start until 12:20, and it's right next to my house!!!!!!!!! I am SO happy about that.
Whenever I run for more than 30 second straight up here, my lungs dry out and I start coughing a lot. Sigh. It's kind of really annoying. But at least I don't have nosebleeds everyday anymore. But I'm thirsty ALL the time.
Emma is my roommate. She's a molecular biology major, for the moment. She says she's probably going to take chemistry and hate it and change it though. :) She had a legitimately crazy chem teacher in high school. She's super good at talking and telling stories and she has the most beautiful skin tone in the universe. It looks like Ms. Neufeldt's skin (my AP Gov and Econ teacher) and makes me really jealous. I really like her though. She's great friend material.
Delaney:
She's a dancer. She's trying out for the folk dance team on Wednesday. She likes to talk a lot. And she collects shiny things she finds on the ground. Her favorite color is yellow, and she's super funny. But she never gets tired, so me and Emma always have to kick her out of our room so we can sleep. :) I really like her too though.
Emma and I:
ps- i don't actually weigh 100000000 lbs, as this picture would suggest. it's just kind of unflattering.
This is a picture of all of us before we left for church today. We's cutie pies.
AND... my neck tan line. Thank you band camp.
It's time for choir practice. And then a band fireside. And then ward prayer. So I've got to go. Love you all!!!!!

My apartment!!!
Hello everyone! I've made it to Provo safely, and managed to move all of my stuff in! (Except for my dishes... I just realized about an hour ago that they're all at Michelle and Nate's house.) I thought I would put up pictures of what my living quarters look like now:
This is my room! There's a closet in the wall off to the left that you can't see. I'm SOOOO happy that I got the bottom bunk. I had the top last time, and it was awful. It gets REEEALLY hot and it's always stuffy up there. It's just no fun. Maybe I'll switch with my roommate (Emma) next semester if she hates it as much as I did. Also, there's a TON of storage space underneath my bed that now has 3 giant suitcases and 2 banana boxes under it.
This is my closet! It's full of extremely cute clothes that I got right before I left! I probably haven't worn half of the clothes in there. I'm really excited for school to start so that I can model them for the world. :)
This is the hall. My room is at the very end on the left. There's a bathroom kind of in the middle on \the right side, and a single room for Delaney on the end right. Plus, there's 2 closets in it.
This is my bathroom. I'm currently missing a shower curtain, but they give them to you for free at the Wyview housing office, which is just grand! And yes, that is a potty plunger in the top picture. It's in the trash can right now, because I haven't moved it yet.
The living room! The door is right beside the long couch. I really like the big window!
The kitchen! It's really nice. The microwave has the power of an atomic bomb. It is sooo powerful.
This is the window in front of those chairs in the other picture. I really like the tree! But the kitchen gets REALLY hot when the sun sets right in front of it. It's pretty though.
And this is the door. It's pink.
That's my new apartment! Right now it's a little lonely because I'm the only one in my whole building that's here. But I'm super stoked to meet both of my roommates and to start band camp ON MONDAY and to browse the bookstore (hopefully without having to take a potty break) and walk around campus and find my classes and make stellar grades and have a GINORMOUS group of totally rad friends. This year is going to be so awesome. So, so awesome. I'm looking forward to EVERYTHING, pretty much. Except for the testing center. But I'm even kind of excited about that because I'm going to make such incredible grades.
Oh my goodness guys! It just hit me that I haven't told some of you my plans for the rest of my life, as far as school goes. I'm majoring in biology, and I'm going to get my bachelor's degree here at BYU. THEN, I'm hopefully going to transfer to the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta and get my masters in Physical Therapy. And then I'll be a physical therapist and marry a nice man with a Southern accent and live on like a billion acres of land and have a giant cherry orchard. Except I don't know if cherries grow in GA, so that part is subject to change.
Anyway, I'm really excited. I have no doubt at all that this semester is going to be infinitely better than the last! I think that I've changed quite a bit since last January, and now I'm more ready for a big, serious university like this.
It feels REALLY good outside so I'm going for a walk around my block now. Call me! Oh, also, next I'll post my schedule for this semester. Stay tuned! Love you all!!!!!
Love,
Bri
PS- I went to the creamery today to get some milk, and both boys were blonde with blue eyes. Surprise, surprise.

Life as I know it.
I love BYU. I'm really glad I decided to come here, and really sad that I didn't decide to until this semester. There are like zero ronchy people out here! It's really crazy! And great! And boys don't have long nasty hair or saggy pants either! However, they all look the same. (Blonde spiky hair, blue eyes, and 5 feet tall.) Everyone that is, except Tim. (If you don't already know who that is, I'm not going to tell you. haha)
A list of things I've done that make me very sociable:
1. Running with Jessica and Echo. Both from Hawaii, these girls are EXTREMELY fabulous and hilarious. Echo did wrestling her senior year of high school. Jessica is very very flexible. She's the first friend I made out here.
2. Going to the mall with Jessica and Dianne. I think Dianne is from Hawaii too. Shes one of the most fashionable people I've ever met and so it was extremely intimidating going shopping with her, even though none of us bought anything. She likes sushi. And she has an extremely attractive boyfriend.
3. Playing Just Dance 3 on the Wii with Whitney (my roommate) Paige (from the athens stake!) and Paige's roomie Amanda until 2 or 3 in the morning. The first sociable thing I did actually. SO MUCH FUNNNNNN.
4. Going to The Pizza Pie Cafe with Whitney, Paige, and their friend (and now my friend) Lindsay. I feel like Lindsay and I are a lot alike. AKA she's flippin amazing. She thinks I talk like Cari (the weirdo babysitter in the Incredibles) but SHE is definitely the Cari-voiced one. She can do like 12 man push ups. And she's really funny when she's tired. :)
5. Sometime this week Whitney, Augusta (my other roomie) and I are going to some yogurt place whitney really likes. I'm excited to get to know Augusta better!!! She's really nice, but we don't really know each other that well at all... I know she's been a convert for almost 3 years, her hair used to be realllllly long, and she has a boyfriend named spencer. And she's taking ice skating as one of her classes. but that's about it.
guys it's snowing outside right at this very instant. again. there's already like 3 inches of snow on the ground that's been there since saturday night. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug. BUT im pretty sure this means that me and whitney and paige are all going to go sledding, plus maybe some other people.
6. I go over to beck and ben's house like 8 days a week (ha. now that song is stuck in your head. :D mwahahahah) they are awesome. And pretty much everytime I go we all watch a movie because Ben wants to make me a cultured swine instead of an uncultured swine. My favorite one we've watched so far is probably... Oceans 11? Or maybe the proposal.
I think I'm gaining weight, despite walking almost a full mile to campus everyday. and despite the mile walk back from campus every day. And despite walking AROUND the gargantuan campus everyday, to get from class to class. AND despite the huge hill at the end of my walk every day. I just don't get it.
food: (this section is mostly for mom :D) I'm great in that area. I eat lots of soup and hamburger helper. And sandwiches, both turkey (with lettuce and mustard and cheese on whole wheat bread) and peanut butter. MILK ONLY COSTS 1.91 AT THE CREAMERY! It's great. I also eat ice cream, but only after supper.
I'm going to go play in the snow now. Heres some pictures of stuff here, taken at random places:
That picture^^^^^^^^^^^ makes me look like a smart college girl doing homework. Which I was definitely doing at the time.
"That's a good picture I wanna copy of that."^
Awwwwwwww. They're cute.
We're cute too.
And Trev dog is cute too.
I can't think of an ending. So... yeah. awkward

First days of Utah
Hullo! As you all know, I'm in Utah now!!! My first four days were spent with Michelle and Nate, who are very fantastic hosts. We partied it up! On New Years Eve, Nate's fam came over (his dad, mam, and sister Abbey) and we ate takeout Chinese ("which I never actually did before but kind of enjoyed") and played on the Waite's new Wii. It was especially fun to watch Grandpa play wipeout (it's just like the show). He was pretty terrible at it but it was HILARIOUS! We were ALL laughing our heads off and I almost wet my pants. Then they left and we started the movie Rango. Shell got tired and went to bed, and me and Nate stayed down to finish it. I fell asleep at 11:30 though, and Nate finished it all by his lonesome.
To make up for me and Shells lack of party attitude on NYE, New Years DAY was the real partay. After church we went over to Nate's bro Aaron's house to help Grandma watch the children (5 of them, the 6th was born that day)! We left and came home to play Ticket to Ride and Shell got really grumpy because she lost reeeeeeeally badly plus she was gassy. We drank Martenelli's (which we called "bubbly") out of wine glasses and I thought it was really gross so I only drank like 2 sips. Plus, I was kind of gassy too and I didn't want to become any bubblier than I already was. (Yeah, yeah, I know i told you guys I wasn't gassy. I lied.)
And, somewhere in there we saw temple square with all of it's lights. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!!! And cold.

| Addison at breakfast. This is one awesome kid. Oh, later we went to J Dawgs where they have massive hot dogs and Nate was trying to get him to take another bite, and he screamed, "BUT THEY TASTE LIKE TRASH!!!" Then, once he noticed me laughing my head off he screamed, "THEY TASTE LIKE GARBAGE!!!" hahahahahahaha |

| Bryn. She is also awesome, and has fabulous pink light-up princess cowgirl boots. |
