school expenses

Just want you to know... I saved $203.89 by buying textbooks online this semester. Pretty awesome, right?

The sad thing is, I still spent $244.00. I better strengthen a lot of my brain muscles for that price!

Goals A' Plenty

I'm not one for New Year's Resolutions because they are usually just empty hopes. I am one for setting goals though. Here are my goals.

1. Read the Book of Mormon twice.
I am hoping to read it in 100 days, but promise not to get mad at myself if it takes more than that. As long as I finish it twice this year. :)

2. Don't watch so much T.V. and movies.
I watched a lot of T.V. this last semester and I've noticed differences. My laziness has increased sooo much and my acceptance of "worldly ways" has increased. Not good people! So no American Idol, no America's Next Top Model, No Office (oooo... that's a hard one).

3. 4.0 Baby!
I really want a 4.0 this semester, but I will be satisfied with a 3.7. I want to show my advisor that I'm sticking with Communicative Disorders and I think a boost in the G.P.A will do so.

4. Get Organized
I've made lists of expectations I have in organization. I have checklists and I have time-schedules. I feel that the lists will probably make me feel guilty enough to stick to it.

5. Get a Job.
I need one. Really bad. Any assistance in this department will be greatly appreciated. :)

These are my goals, not my resolutions. Let's see how I do!

Time for a Festive background! Happy December!!

I left my camera at my parents' house during Thanksgiving Break. So no pictures this time. I'll get it back soon though.

The guy that was supposed to buy my macbook bailed, so now I have no money. I am not friends with that guy. He is on my bad list. If anyone wants a macbook, let me know. You can have mine. :)

I got a letter from Sister Simmons. She's doing great! I also found her mission blog if you are interested in checking up on her. She comes back in February, if she lets them which is not likely.

Yesterday, was the best. I went snowshoeing up Green Canyon AND sledding on Old Main hill AND had some nutella toast. It was a great way to celebrate the snow.

I've registered for classes for next semester. I'm taking language science, speech & hearing & language development, acoustics of the ear, and a few other classes related to communicative disorders. I'm also taking rock climbing for fun :) It's going to be a fun semester (even if it does start at 7:30 am).

Well, that's it for now. Catch up with you later!!

my fantabulous weekend

I spent Friday night with my new life long buddy, Ashley. We went a Special Needs Dance and danced the night away. There were guys in jeans, and girls in ball gowns (even one wedding dress). It was a blast!

On Saturday morning I competed in the USU Dodgeball competition - very random I know. We didn't make it to far in the competition, but that's totally fine. It was to support the Special Olympics, which I really want to help out with now.

After that I got a tour of Logan City. I went to Great Harvest and had a yummy sandwich, then to Global Village and the hippie store, Earth Awakenings (pretty sure they were selling a few illegal things, if you catch my drift). I went to Gossner's too. They have flavored milk! I had orange creme milk (tasted like a creamsicle) and rootbeer milk (tasted just like the frothy part of a rootbeer float). It was incredible! I had some very squeaky cheese as well.

Now for the funny of the weekend:

After Gossner's, I went to a place called "All About Socks" If a store that only sells socks isn't funny enough for you, just wait. While I was there, I found a pair of socks that had beer mugs on them. Absolutely hilarious, right? My friend bought the socks and I hope he cherishes them for his whole life. I found an amazing pair of "socks". They were $1.00. They are rainbow-striped. I was soo excited to put them on when I got home. To my horror, I discovered that these socks were actually tights for two year olds. Never fear! I turned them into socks! Here is the finished product!

Life Happenings

Logan has transformed me into a new person. I like the new person too. It's the person that I've been all along that couldn't find a way out until now. I really feel like I'm blossoming. I'm more motivated, more uplifting, and more confident.

I don't know if Logan is the real reason, although I do think it has a lot to do with it. Change is so healthy and my "transformation" is proof of that.

Here's what's new:

1) I have been admitted into the Communicative Disorders program. Only 1.5 years left till I get my Bachelor's Degree - if all goes well.
Totally scratch English Major. This is a much better program for me. I've been thinking about becoming a SLP for years and years now. I don't know why it took me so long to actually commit to it.

2) I cut my hair. I have cute straight-across bangs now. I'm a pretty spontaneous person, but I'm especially spontaneous when it comes to haircuts. It's very therapeutic for me.

3) I'm really getting into cooking. As a college student, I usually survive off of tuna sandwiches and macaroni and cheese. I'm being better to my body now. :) I made sour cream enchiladas a few weeks ago, and lived off it for a week. I made Shepard's pie this week and still have half a casserole left. It's been a lot of fun so far.

My Fall Break was incredible.

I spent one day in Park City with my family. We visited the 1884 Cemetary in the area - one of the most peaceful places I have ever been. We walked up and down Main Street and visited the Kimball Art Center. I love that museum. It's always got the greatest exhibitions.



I got to see Casey and Jalise and AJ all in one night while we ate pizookie.
It's a cookie pizza with ice cream on top.



I even went horseback riding with Chase. My first time in about 10 years. Once I got bit by a horse and I had a childhood grudge towards them since then. It was so nice to be on the top of the mountain looking down at the fall leaves. Amazing weekend.

Want to graduate?

Wowowowow.

Life is good, right? I think I've chosen my major. English Teaching with a minor in ESL and secondary education certification. . . To do all of this - it's 110 credits. And this doesn't include my desire for a second Bachelor's Degree in Communication Disorders. Woe is me!! I'm going to be in college forever!!

P.S. What do you think of the new layout?

Lisday K isms.

Here are some things that I say, all the time:

"Sucker Punch!"

"Legit."

"Epic."

"Roundhouse kick to the face!"

"You're so _____ I just want to pinch your cheeks!"

"Toe Touch!"

"Beer."

"Yeeeesssh"
