What the cold??

So I woke up today, looked outside, and thought to myself, "it looks REALLY cold outside. do I have to go to school?" Unfortunately, I knew the answer to that. So I finally drag myself out of bed, get ready, open the door, and almost froze in place. It was so cold! What is up with this? All last week was extremely nice and I was loving it! So needless to say today has not been the best of days. But on the upside, my Rosetta Stone came in so hopefully it will help me in my French class! So today I got to download it all to my computer, which took forever! But it's all done, and I've tried it out a little bit and it seems pretty good. I'll be able to work on it more this weekend.

It's a working progress...

So it's been another crazy weekend. I have to drive back and forth between Tempe and Thatcher every other week for Girls Camp meetings. I was called to be a YL this year, and we're going to be busy the next few months trying to get everything together and ready to go. So this was the 2nd weekend I had to go for a meeting. Then once it's done, I have to drive back to Tempe because I have school at 8:00 Monday morning. Lucky me.
So I pretty much failed my French test this last week. And when I say fail, I really mean fail. I didn't know what the instructions were because they were in French and I couldn't read it! So that was pretty much my disaster for the week. But luckily my parents let me order the French Rosetta Stone, and it will be coming in in a few days. So once I get that, maybe I won't fail French and screw up my GPA. And it would really be bad if I failed, especially after I managed to get a "B" in chemistry, so my GPA didn't drop last semester. I'll have to keep you updated on what happens with that.
But my Anatomy and Physiology class is going well so far. I have 2 lab parters: Krysten and Kristenn, lol. Go figure. But at least it's easy to remember their names, and I'll never get em mixed up and call them by the wrong name! Score one for me!

The Life of a College Student

So.....if you haven't already figured it out in the past 1.5 years, I am VERY bad at keeping this thing updated. But I've decided that I want to give it another go and see if I can actually keep up with it. Hah.
Well, within the past 1.5 years, I have graduated High School and am now a "College Kid". Luckily, I made it through my first semester passing all my classes. I was really excited to find out that I got a "B" in Chemistry, because I was sure I would fail and have to re-take it. Luckily I don't have to now. Today was my first day of 2nd semester, I think it's going to be a good one. I only have 4 classes (one doesn't start until March) and my French and Anatomy and Physiology class are going to be keeping me busy, and pilates will be fun, especially since I'm taking it with Kacie.
But so far college has been filled with interesting experiences. One night, while studying The Periodic Table of the Elements at about 1 in the morning, I got a brilliant idea! Then one Monday night for FHE, while eating Mojo Frozen Yogurt, No-Bake Cookies, and watching Robing Hood: Men in Tights, Kacie and I implemented my idea. This is the result:


Now how cool is that! How many people can say that they made the Table of Elements out of post-its and stuck it on the wall? Not many I believe. Soon afterwards I was learning the parts of a cell for Biology, and our teacher had a draw a cell. Well, I was bored and decided to color mine.



I was almost as proud of this one as I was the Table of Elements. I also added the Funtional Groups on the wall, but I don't have a picture of it on my computer yet. So that is my Wall of Knowledge for you all!

**My cell IS Eukaryotic, but it also has some Prokaryotic parts added to it. Just ignore those.

Paintballing...what a wonderful thing....

This saturday i got together with some friends and we went paintballing in the river bottom. it was so much fun, but i was the only girl, go figure. during the first round i got into a shoot out with joe and unfortunately ended up loosing. however, i did shoot him in the facemask, but he wouldn't call himself out. i now have 4 bruises on my left leg right by my knee from that one round. and of course, i didn't get anymore for the rest of the game. this is about my 3rd or 4th time paintballing, and i have learned that i might not be the best shooter, but i am definitely the best at hiding! lol.

New At This

Well, I have decided to start my own blogspot. Why? I have no clue since I'm probably not going to have any free time to keep up with it. But I thought, "Why not give it a go?" So here goes! 
A little about me:
I am 18 years old, the 2nd out of 4 kids in my family, and I'm keeping busy with school, homework, family, friends, and whatever else comes my way! I love music and I play the piano. I have any amazing family, even though we don't exactly get along all the time, but what family does? My friends are also pretty awesome, keep me sane throughout the week.
Well, i think that's good for my first entry. I'll try to post more later! 
Peace.
