Well, I survived my crazy week. I have two tests next week, but what ever. That's just the college life I suppose. This week has been crazy, but it's been really fun also. Nothing too exciting to report.
Last night, me, Trent, Natalie and Landon went out to dinner at Yapona, and got some delicious sushi. I love sushi with all of my heart. I would eat the Vegas roll every day if I could. Then we went up to Dani's house in Alpine, to have a bonfire. We met up with the usual crowd, Em, Shelly, Dani, Amber, Mic, Paul, Jeff, Mickey, Mike, etc. Sadly, I didn't get any photos from last nights adventure - but it was so movie-esque. We had all of us in a circle around the fire, someone playing the guitar, and all of us singing along. How fabulous. It was fun for sure.
Today is Emily's birthday! And in about an hour we're headed up to PG to kidnap her from her house and then take her out to eat, and surprise her with a party :) I can't wait. She doesn't suspect anything, it's great. It's also my half birthday! Woot! I'll be 20 in 6 months, weird.
Errrrm. I think that's all. I got two letters from Caleb this week, which was great.

Crazy College Kids
My weekend was oh-so-entertaining. I've already talked about Friday, so we'll go on with Saturday. I woke up at about 12 or 1, then I headed down to Nat and Em's. We made heart shaped pancakes for breakfast, and Ayisha came over. We took pancakes to the boys (#36) and I heart attacked them with hearts, and notes for each boy. After that, me and Ish watched LOST for a few hours. Then I got ready and went on my date. In our group there were, me and Trent, Mike and Rachel, Becca and Matt, Kevin and Gillian, and then Nat and Landon joined us for ice-skating and hanging out at Becca's. We went to Los Hermanos to eat (ironic, as that's where me and Caleb always went) and then we went ice-skating. Now, I don't like ice-skating, but I did ok, and didn't complain, and it turned out to be pretty fun. After that we went to Becca's and played games and chatted until 1:30 am. So, the night turned out pretty fun, and better than I expected it to.
Sunday was church, and Mom and Charity came with me! Every third Sunday there's a primary, so I had them come. It was fun to show Chari off, as well as spend church with my family :) Ayisha and Janae also came, and it was a good time. Later that night, Nat, Em, Brad, JJ, Jordan and I went down to Spanish Fork for a game night at one of Gillian's friend's houses. We played Murder in the Dark, and other fun games. At about 1:oo am we decided to call it a night. But then some of the people who we had just met that night (Gavin, Brittany, Allie and Cole) decided they wanted to go to the hot pots. Mike, Trent and Rachel decided to go too. I didn't want to be completely irresponsible, so I said I would only go if Brad went. Brad (and Jordan) decided to go too, so I felt pretty safe going. We came back to the Riv, got our swimsuits on, and drove back down to Spanish Fork to meet up with the other 7 who were going. We drove down to Fillmore and got there at about 4:00 am. Oh, funny note, on the way down, Cole (who was in the other car) called and we put him on speaker phone while we said a prayer. We built a bonfire, and swam, and told stories, and just had a good time. We got out at 6-ish. Dried off, and were on the road by 6:30 am. I got home at about 8:00 am. What a crazy night!! It was so fun though. (Mom and Dad, if you're reading this, don't freak out!) ... Then I slept until 1, did laundry, went and saw Taken with Kyle, Lindsay, Ayisha, Leah, Natalie, Jay, Alan and Pam, went to FHE at Brother Hart's house, then went bowling with the gang. After bowling, Em, Mickey, Mike and I did a Wendy's run, and chatted until 1 am. So that was my weekend... Crazy.
Now, it's Thursday. I have massive amounts of homework. I have to have to revise a paper by tomorrow as well as finish The Metamorphis. I have a Chemistry test to study for (thank heavens for Jay and his awesome Chemistry and tutoring skills!). I have a French paper due on Monday, a Human Development paper due on Tuesday, and a Human Development test next week. Gag me with a spoon. I might DIE. Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
On a happier note, I love Caleb.
AND I get to see the MG's tonight on my break from studying :)
AND I have so many blessings, it's ridiculous.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Well, it's that infamous time of year. That of Valentine's Day. Where those who have significant others get spoiled, and those without go throughout the day feeling sad and ignored. Of course, then there are those girls who have missionaries who are both loved, and alone. Nah, just kidding, Valentine's Day gets way too much hype! It's just like any other day of the year I think. Even most people who are in relationships think it's way too much. And I agree - although, since I got a little Valentine's package from Caleb, I am probably much more happier than I would have been, but we won't talk about that.
Yes, I got a package from Caleb. I got some Korean candy and a beautiful Korean fan. It's black with purple flowers and a couple of butterflies on it. Then I got a great letter that reminded me just why I love him so much. Bah, it made my day.
So yesterday, I felt sick, and only ventured up to campus in order to do my Chem lab. Other than that, I spent most of the day in bed. I finally got ready for the day around 5:30, and then I headed on over to Katie's reception. I can't believe she's married. The whole reception was bizarre, but good at the same time. After the reception, we came back to the Riv to go the dance party Jigga threw. It was so fun, and so loud that someone called in a noise complaint - oops. After that, we all chilled at #4. We being me, Nat, Em, Ish, Amber, Whit, Jordan, Mickey, Landon, Jeff, Trent, Paul, Mike and a few others. We made three pazookies, and they all got inhaled in less than 30 seconds. Me and Mickey fed each other, ha, and we were dripping all over each other and everyone got messy, it was awesome. We just chatted and hung out until like 2 am. I probably didn't get to bed until like 3:30. Oh gosh. Such good times.
Today, if the snow doesn't stop her, Ayisha is going to come over, and we're going to have a LOST marathon until I have to get ready for my date tonight - yes, I have a date tonight, it's a bit of a long story. And, hopefully, I can still head over to the MG sleepover after the date, we'll see. I really need some MG time!!
So, there you go. Life is stil going great :)
My real valentine :)

Romania, and other things
So, I decided that I should take the time to blog today. I've been having the time of my life. College is SO MUCH FUN. I had a really hard time my Freshman year, but this year has been a blast, even with Caleb so far away. I've made life-long friends, and I've made so many incredible memories. I've become closer to my Heavenly Father and Savior.
The biggest thing that has happened in my life is...
I have made the decision to GO TO ROMANIA.
That's right. It's completely random, and I don't have all the facts yet, but I am going. My Human Development professor (Dr. Larry Nelson) helps with the International Study Program that sends students to Romania through BYU to help with disabled orphans. He mentioned that in class on Thursday, and since then, I have felt so strongly that I need to go. I'm going to an information meeting about it Monday to learn more, but I am so excited. It's going to be quite expensive, but so worth it. I put off the idea of doing a Study Abroad in France because it's expensive, and I wouldn't feel good spending so much money basically for my own pleasure. But going to Romania would be a life changing experience, and I would hope to change the lives of those in Romania that I will meet. I am determined to make it happen, no matter if I have to take out loans, and get behind in school, I will go. I just feel so good about this, and I can not wait to go. Another neat thing, is that I'm pretty sure it will count as an internship for my major, which is a plus. I really have never felt so strongly about doing something before, I'll keep you updated as I learn more :)
Highlights of the last little while.
-Spending time with apt #36. Kyle, Garyn, Jay and Sam. We've become such good friends, and I'm so grateful for the influence of good, righteous, Priesthood holders in my life. With Caleb, Collin and Aaron gone, I've been missing that. They are such great guys, and between making food, looking at cars, playing Rockband, watching the Jazz or watching LOST, we just have fun :)
-Hanging with Nat and Em. These two girls are amazing. We have so much fun together, and I've been so lucky to have met them, and to spend so much time with them. We've been hitting up dance parties, having SOP's, eating Pazookies, watching AI and ABDC, doing our hair crazy, and just talking.
-Spending countless amount of hours texting, talking and hanging out with Ayisha. Everyone needs a best friend like her. She's absolutely wonderful. We just get each other. We can read the other person's mind, it's so crazy sometimes, haha.
-Getting to know those in my ward better. Last night about 40 of the sister's in my ward went up to Bishop Jeffs' cabin in Midway for our semi-annual Relief Society retreat. It was so amazing. The Spirit was so strong, as was the feelings of peace, unity and love. We laughed, we cried, we ate, we sang, we made goals... It was an amazing time. Today we had a testimony meeting right before we packed up to come home, and it was seriously, so amazing. I love my ward. The people, the bishopric, I know I was placed here for a reason. And that reason is for me to become closer to the Savior, and to meet and befriend these girls, and to help them in their struggles in life as they help me with mine.
-School. In the last two weeks I had 3 tests and 3 papers. Blah. But... I'm learning, and I feel so great about that. I'm so grateful for the opportunity I have to go to BYU.
-Spending time with the MG's. I've only seen them once since Adrianne's wedding, but I love them with all of my heart. They are my friends for life, and beyond.
-Letters from Caleb.
I think that's about it. Life goes on as usual. The homework, the partying, the missing.
I am SO excited about next weekend - let me tell you why.
Friday is Katie's wedding (AHHHH!!) so her reception is that night, which will be awesome. Then, me and Ayisha are probably going to go to a dance party here at the Riv, and have a sleepover. Then, the next day is Valentine's day. I'm going to heart attack an apartment in my ward, and we'll sleep in, then watch the first season of LOST all day, and scrapbook. That night, we're going over to Jasmine's (an MG) and have the best MG/Valentine's day party/sleepover ever. There'll be like 10-15 of us just chatting, and eating and hanging out. What better way to spend Valentine's day, right? It's going to be a blast.
Well that's it. Photo of the day is me and Landon dancing it up at Michael's 23rd birthday party last weekend. I couldn't resist putting it up, it captures us so well. "Just dance, gonna be ok..."
