Back to school, back to school… August 27, 2007

to prove to my daddy that I’m not a fool….

So I started school last week. Its all right I guess. History is going to kill me though, (not cause its a hard class, just cause I’m terrible at history and need to get an A) But I have this strategy for History, I’m going to pay lots of attention in class and NOT take notes (cause I don’t pay attention well enough) but I’m going to record my class (I have a recorder) and then listen to it and take notes, and read in the book (and take more notes if necissary) and if I’m still not getting it, I might have to go to a tutor or have Tyson help me =P

Now, I learned NOT to ask for Tyson’s help with Algebra cause he went crazy! lol he found the answer some weird way that confused me so I told him that I don’t want to be confused and learn a different way, I understand how the teacher taught me and that’s how I want to do it, so I’ll just ask her in class.  And then he got all offended and stormed out. lol

My Algebra teacher is seriously crazy! lol, everytime anyone says anything about geomotry or calculus she says “I have a son in Geomotry” or “I have a son in Calculus, I’m so proud of him” lol She’s funny, but just old and weird.. haha

My writing teacher has big boobs.. lol the class is okay..

And my Ballet teacher, is this old lady that you would never have ever thought she was a ballet teacher! But she was like the first ballerina in Utah.. Okay the guy who brought ballet to Utah came here when she was 4 or 5 and he was her teacher and then when she was 20 or so they were partners. =) So I guess its really cool that she’s my teacher. We haven’t danced yet though. We’ll start dancing tomorrow. =)

My tab thingies up at the top of this page (the ones that say Chi-chi, Mavrick, Tyson and Skyy, or me and Tyson, or something like that) I’ve posted more pictures on Chi-chi’s and Mavrick’s pages.

Yay for school! =) August 19, 2007

I start school this week! =D I’m really excited, really nervous and hecka stressed! lol It took FOREVER to get my stupid financial aid all figured out! And I’m still waiting on my approval! But first they were telling me that I absolutely had to have my dad’s tax information, and my dad wouldn’t give it to me, so when I explained that to them they told me that I have to file an independent appeal. So I had to write an essay on my life, and I had to get 2 people to write a statement about me, and I had to have documents that support my case, so I had my lease agreement, my mom’s obituary, and my grandparent’s obituaries. And then there was a paper to fill out. After about 4 days I was approved for that so I could actually fill out the application, but then the application didn’t change at all, so I went in and asked how I’m supposed to fill it out, and they said just to put all zeros in for my dad’s information and then I’ll get a denial letter but they’ll go in and fix it for me. Anyway, then it asked for all of my tax information and all I had were my W-2s but I needed my 1040ez, so I had to figure out who had those… FINALLY Tyson’s dad found them, I guess Tyson told him to keep them cause we would lose them. lol (He did our taxes by the way) Anyway, I had to refill out the 1040EZ (basically doing my taxes all over again!) and THEN I could fill out the application! Now I’m just waiting for my denial notice and then I have to take it into the financial aid office. But oh my freaking heck! it was the longest most painful process! They do NOT want to give me money at all! lol

Anyway, I’m all registered for classes though, and I rearranged my schedule all funky.. =) Here’s my schedule:

 Sunday: I work from 6:00 am to 4:30 pm

Monday: I work from 6:00 am to 4:30 pm, go to Writing from 5:30 to 6:50, and Intermediate Algebra from 7:00 to 8:50

Tuesday: I work from 7:00 am to 4:30 pm, go to Ballet from 5:30 to 6:50

Wednesday: (this is my busy day) I work from 6:00 am to 1:30 pm, go to American Civilization from 2:30 to 5:20, Writing from 5:30 to 6:50, and Intermediate Algebra from 7:00 to 8:50.

Thursday: (This is my easy day) I work from 12:30 pm to 4:30 pm and then go to ballet from 5:30 to 6:50 =)

 And then I have Friday and Saturday off. =) I’m pretty excited. I’ll be really busy, but I think I can handle it. Poor Tyson though, I’ve been so stressed out and taking it all out on him =( And his parents are so sweet! They’re lending me $300 so I can buy my books cause I don’t have my fiancial aid quite yet, and then the money that I get from Financial aid, I’ll pay them back.  I’m only taking 4 classes, but I have 6 books. I have 2 books for ballet! lol I thought that was pretty funny, I was only expecting to have to get 3 books, but I have to have 6!

My Vacation August 19, 2007

I start school this week so I took a week off just to relax. Monday we hung out with Paige, Tuesday we went up to Logan and saw my friend Haley and she dyed my hair blonde =) and we saw my brother while we were up there. Then Wednesday I went cleaning crazy and cleaned my whole house.. Thursday I WISHED I had something to clean… haha I watched a bunch of episodes of House, OH! On Wednesday we picked up Mavrick and Mav stayed with us until Friday. I miss him already… =( We took a ton of pictures though! =) I didn’t get to load all of them on the computer, but I got some of them. I’ll post the rest whenever I have time to put them on the computer. We got some cute ones though. =) Here are a few:

My day at the zoo. =) August 12, 2007

Hey! So we went to the zoo yesterday. It was way fun. We went for Ty’s little sister’s birthday. Makenna turned 6 =) It was so cute, she had 2 or 3 little girl friends, and then one little boy friend and they were all holding hands it was so cute! lol Tyson was playing with Maddison while we were there and then I was hangin out with the boys MarkThomas and Mitchel. (These are all Tyson’s siblings btw) My favorite part were the panguins. They were so cute! =D They all waddled over to the pond and dove in and ate a sardine, and then swam up to the shore and waddled out of the water lol They’re cute! So I got myself a necklace and a bracelet that have panguins on them =D And if I ever find my camera then I’ll take a picture of it =P

Anyway, and then MarkT and I talked to a parrat for like 20 minutes. haha a very in depth conversation! “Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, how are you? hello, how are you?” lol that’s pretty much all it would say. =P but it was fun! lol And then there was a cute little flying squirl sleeping in a coconut =P and the elephants, there was one clear on the other side and Tyson was doing his mating call =P where he’d buzz his lips and make an elephant noise haha and the elephant came over but then MarkT did it and it went back lol We had a lot of fun though. =)

Oh and oh my gosh that white alegator was so pretty! I WANTED the white alagator stuffed animal but it was $25.00 and the panguin necklace and bracelet together was only $4.50 (plus we got 20% off cause Tyson’s family has a zoo membership) Maybe I can find one on ebay =D

 Anyway, I’m training a new employee right now and I need to help him with the call that he’s on, so I will chat later. ByeBye.

August 10, 2007

So I finally got all of my nails off and I’m just loving typing again cause when I got my nails on my wpm went down from 120 to like 80 or lower, and now it feels like I gained back that speed again! lol I love it! Its so much easier to type! YAYAYAYAYAY (Sorry, that was an enthusiastic yay lol… I guess it would look better if I did YAAAAY!)

 Anywho… so I only have one more day after this until my vacation! =D yay! (yayayayayay)   I don’t work tomorrow, but then I work Sunday and then I’m off until next Sunday! I don’t really have any plans, except on Sunday on my way home from work I’m going to go pick up my puppy and spend most of the week with him, and then on Friday I’m going up to Logan to see my brother and Haley, and Haley is going to dye my hair! yay! =P

 I can’t wait to see my puppy! He gets so excited to see me! He didn’t at first, but it wasnt’ the first time he’s stayed with them, so when he realized that he’s not coming home for a long time is when he started to get excited.. that and he was really sick for a while. But I miss my doody! =(

Does anyone ever remember playing night games when you were younger? I remember playing green ghost, or ghost in the graveyard (same thing… basically like hide and seek… only backwards everyone looks for one person) There were a lot of games but that’s the only one that I remember. We would just get together with some people on my block, and all of our friends and either go to the park, the cemetery or just the whole block (this was in Richfield where it wasn’t dangerous) =P  Anyway, I just heard someone say Night Games and I had forgotten all about it and now I’m just having all these flash back memories haha Great fun! That was way back when I was a really good kid, and I had a ton of friends, it was the ONLY time in my life when I had a lot of friends, and we would go out and do stupid/fun stuff all the time. But then I started to get rebelious and they didn’t like that soooo…. we just drifted apart.. sad. Oh well, I still talk to a lot of them, but they’re all down in Richfield and I’m up here in B-town =D (well right now I’m in South Jordan cause I’m at work.. but I live in B-town) Sorry, excuse my rambling. =D

Hoooray! I’m off in an hour! =D I know I’ve said Yay a lot in this post, I’ve never noticed how many times I say yay.. do I say it in real life? Or just when I’m typing? I don’t know.. hmm.. is anyone ever annoyed by it? I am right now but just cause I just realized I do it. hmm.. weird. Anywho.. I will chat with ya’ll lata! ByeBye

PS… why does no one ever comment on here?! Dang it my friends are lame and don’t read my blog! Grrr!

August 8, 2007

Oh yeah… I forgot that I had taken pictures of me wearing the dress… I’m not sure if its against bridal etiquite or not.. but I’ll show ya anyway… =D

 The front has these corsette lines, I love it! and then the back is a lace up… really really pretty!… of coarse I plan on losing weight too So I wont look so horrible in it =P

Anyway, my hair looks horrible in this picture, but just imagine it like 6 inches longer, and the hair style below… =D

Wedding hairstyle. August 8, 2007

I found the hairstyle that I want. Down, long, curly and some curls are picked up and pinned back. Now I don’t know if I want like flower pins, or if I want those springy things and have pearls… idk.. Next week I’m going to have Haley dye my hair though, and I’m just going to start expirimenting with colors…. no black though! If I dyed it black it wouldn’t come out before the wedding hahaha it took me 2 years to get my black out last time! I dyed it right after I met Tyson, and I FINALLY got the last of it cut off like 2 months ago! lol

Now, as for my bridesmaid’s hair.. I don’t know why, or if this will look dumb or not, but I want them all to have updos and then my hair down. I’m sure we’ll all have to get our hair done together so I can see what its going to be like though. And I need to grow at least 6 inches between now and then, so I’ve got 2 years to have really long hair! =/ my hair doesn’t grow very fast..
