centipedes and bad dreams

On Fridays my only class is photography lab... but on account of I am still mulling over exactly what I want to do for my next assignment which is motion.. I didn't have anything to do.. and went home at 8:30... I wouldn't have gone but I swore I wouldn't skip class this semester to myself.

Then in the temple I was soo soo tired I was practically asleep when I was waiting my turn.. but it was amazing and peaceful as always..

So I get home and do pilates and clean my apartment and crash for a 2 hour nap... And had the worst dream everrrr. It was that I was back in Mexico, and it was my last day, and I had to say goodbye all over again. Once tore me apart enough... In the dream I was doing everything in my power to escape a teary goodbye and was just trying to basically peace, which possibley was an idea I had while I was there.. that didn't work. It threw me off for a bit, but then Brittany came over and we partied the rest of the night with her roomies. We went to a basketball game, and I got super into it... which is as random and out of character as... me eating a hamburger...or shutting the door when I pee. I never do. Except when boys are over. And hamburgers are sicknast.

Oh and then me and B were sitting on the floor watching a movie with her roomies and this rabid centipede comes crawling out of the darkness right past us, probably with the intent of eating our faces off........ we freak out and made Joe Bob kill it even though Hannah was entirely opposed to ending the life of this " innocent" bug. False. That bug has like 200 legs. Sorry Hannah that thing was asking for it.Gross. And Brittany thinks it bit her. If they do that.

Happy Weekend : )

no rainin on my parade

Today was filled with moments that just made me say.. "REALLY?!" Sometimes in a good way, sometimes not so much. Exhibit A: I walk out of my apartment only to discover that it is raining like no other. I run back in and grab my umbrella. I didn't even make it out of the parking lot before the heinous wind blew it inside out and broke all the little wimpy metal poles. Possibley I tossed it in a dumpster and said, "REALLY UMBRELLA!"

Then, I asked my world civilizations teacher what I could do to make up for the fact that I had a calender mix up and didn't do this little presentation thing. And he said I could come to his office anytime and do the presentation there. REALLY OLD MAN!? I'm not going to get zero points! Excellent.

Then I walked into children's lit and there were homemade oreos on the table. "FERREALS!?" Yeah I ate 4. Really. And the class was super fun, luvvv it.

Then. I went to the second floor. To Study. And proceeded to fall asleep and possibley drool on my book bag a little bit. And woke up with a note on my desk that said, " I like your shoes." I should have stood up and yelled THANKS! to the general audience that is the library. I know that they would appreciate in on account of it's not like I get glared at when I turn a book page to loudly or anything. Anyways I can't decide if that is bizarre or super neat, that a person was that insistent on sharing their love for my teal pointy toed ballet flats with the flowers on them. Let's go with... SUUUPA NEAT.

Then I went to the Lazaris with the girlies from my lit class and we got to read Horton hears a Who and have bubbles blown at me by adorable children.

Fact: In Mexico I struggled to communicate. Every sentence was a struggle when you are learning Spanish. Now that I am back, words seem so easy to say, and it's so easy to talk. In consequence, I talk to people more now that is easy. And I am making friends in my classes. And I like that.

Also. I made a grilled cheese without burning it. And it was delicious.

Also, the dude who is the teachers aid in the photography lab invited me to " documentary night" and I am going. With my roomie Mer, as back up, in case it's something serious and I laugh and an awkward time.. anyway... yeah. I don't know if I'm a documentary kind of girl on account of if I watched it I might get extreme like the Day Without Shoes and buying Toms I don't know.. Like what if I got all freaky about saving dolphins or something? I can completely see that happening.

REALLY.

P.S

In 90210 which I viewed today, Teddy says to his dad after his tennis match, "Everyone is an expert from the sidelines."

Think about that. Because that is the only deep thing Teddy on 90210 will probably say.

i go ahead and smile

TODAY WAS HAPPY.

After our stake humanitarian deal I trucked it down to B-Ster's for a Glee watching and Pizza eating BFFFFFFFFFFFF (best friends forever forever forever ect.) reunion. It was good whenever B and I are together we laugh our pants off. Kailani was there, who has also been our partner in crime on many occasions... such as that time we were trying to be sneaky driving, so we turned off the car lights and ended up in someone's front yard, or that time we said goodbye to Moses Lake in the best way we know how to celebrate any body of water.

B has been my partner in crime for years, B knows me like no other.

We have pulled plenty of all nighters, drank plenty of blue dew, and laughed more than our bladders could handle.

We radiate legitness.

We get our freak on at prom. A lot.

And also stake dances. When we were 14. Till we were 17.
And B's been my friend for longer than I've had those sweatpants.
Which is FOREVA

Pretty much I don't know what I'd do without that lady.
We've been there for each other through thick and thin.

ALSSOOOO I did my photography homework.

like nothing ever happened

So I love my roomies. They have gotten much better at cleaning up after themselves even. I was just working on my Book Of Mormon paper and all the sudden music involving a harmonica that I am going to venture to say is " Folk Music" was blasting through the thin sheetrock. So I go out to see what's a happenin and the windows are open and the couch is outside, I can see it through the window and Margeaux and Steven are layin on in soakin up the sun. Ight.

So what's a girl to do but go out and join them? But I got out there with my herbal tea and laptop....... and changed my mind cause Steven was all awkward and shirtless and I vaguely recall last time they layed out a guy yelling, " Look that girl has her shirt off!" At Steven... So I am kickin it regular school and staying indoors.

Sometimes in Mexico I would look around me and just say to myself "I'm in Mexico..!" And I would be filled with happiness and excitement.. so I tried that today. I said.. "I'm in Idaho!!" But ehh nothing happened.

I'm not going to mention guys in this post because it would raise about the same excitment level as me yelling, " I'M IN IDAHO.." yeah so none.

but me i'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split

Remember how I tried to give blood yesterday and started to black out when the lady pricked my finger? Yeah I didn't make it to the actual donating part. Got a sticker though, heck yes! And felt nauseous the rest of the day! Ha ha won't be trying that again soon..

p.s happy friday. GIRLS NIGHT!!!!

Aeneid

So besides the fact that my World Civilization teacher probably has Alzheimers and always changes the syllabus and never does what he says he is going to do, the reading material is super interesting. Right now we are reading the Aeneid by Virgil, it's an epic poem comparable to the Odyssey.... but it is a million times better. It is beautifully written I kind of love it.

I just read book 4, where Dido is cursed by cupid to fall in love with Aeneas. She hasn't loved anyone since her brother murdered her husband years ago. She confides in her sister and is all hey I have feelings for Aeneas and I feel guilty about it... Her sister was all heck check him out he's half god you're a free woman go for it... They fall into an all consuming love and she neglects her kingdom and everyone starts to hate her. She makes love to Aeneas and her reputation is tottaly trashed, and they are in their own little world for a long time. However Aeneas has this fate and he has leave to conquer Italy, it's the plan, it's the will of the God's.

So here is Aeneas supposedly this stoic is waiting for a good time to tell Dido that he's heading off with his men on his ships, to leave Dido all alone with her mess of a kingdom and horrible reputation. Dido finds out before Aeneas tells her, and she goes into a small rage at him and was all "you're going to leave without even telling me what did all this stuff mean to you all this time!?" And he just takes it and is all Dido, I was never your husband, I gotta do this, but on the inside he is just torn up, and while he is leaving on his ship he just cries silent tears and as his ships sail away Dido gets a sword and kills herself.

So yep it is super interesting and the characters actually have depth...

If you ever have time you should probably read it, add some variety to your library eh?

dr.pepper loves me.

Today is a happy Wednesday.

In sewing class my seam ripper and I have been getting to be friends due to my overconfidence in eh well the entire sewing department. Friends, turns out you do need to use pins and measure a few times for accuracy and whatnot. It's not like a childeren's literature presentation where you can get up and wing it and have your fellow peers be blinded by the awesomeness of your choice in children's books. That kind of happened. Anyways after a few minor pillowcase tragedy's today I FINISHED... and the animals on the jungle print smiled at me and said "Good job Kayla we are so happy to be on your pillowcase!" Eh... not really. I didn't drink enough Dr. Pepper for that to actually happen.

Anyways, after BOM I went to the library to say hello to a handsome fellow that I have been seeing a bit of lately and headed home for a relief society presidency meeting. I am the secretary. Which means I can say I'm on the presidency and feel needed when in reality my only responsibilities are writing announcements and taking roll and suggesting places like Cold Stone to have our presidency meetings at. I do love me some good cake batter with cookie dough it. Allthetime.

Also my gym diligence has been paying off! I basically look like the old Kayla!! A few more visits to the treadmill and pilates dvd sessions and I should be completely back. Would I take back eating those tortillas in Mexico though? Not a chance.

Homework and whatnot has been going REALLY AWESOME... Mostly because I do the homework and attend class and "apply myself". Turns out when you get organized in one department it spreads to others and you end up like Monica on friends all OCD and whatnot. Ok just kidding maybe not everyone but I am now a to do list kind of girl and a I have to clean this place or I can't study kind of girl and the occasional no I can't go out I have homework kind of girl.

Today my best buddy B-Ster texted me and said that we should go around and karate chop people holding eachothers hands.. like on their hands.. with plenty of sound effects.. which sounds kind of mean but also HILARIOUS... which reminds me of fall semester when Jilly Bean was all " I HATE EVERYONE WHO LOVES SOMEONE!" Similar sentiment... I love that B-Ster who else's texts can make me almost use my pants as a restroom. Besides that BENGAL TEA... it's like you are sipping a raging tiger...
