Take a rest!

It's a weird thing procrastination. I flat out kicked it's butt last week, but I still find myself behind. Well, only on one thing. BUT STILL! Can't Procrastination just take a rest already so I can take a rest?

Chuggin' Along

So this semester feels like studying and homework NON STOP! I don't know if you have realized this or not, but I have... I've been in school since September of 2008 NON STOP! It's a little crazy but at the same time I wouldn't have it any other way. I love learning and I love it here at BYU. But right now I'm ready for a small break. I've been chuggin' along for a long time now constantly worrying about tests or homework, hoping for a time when I wont have anything to do. But that time will never come so I just keep chuggin' along. It's a hard life sure... but one special person in my life has always told me that I can DO hard things. So I just keep chuggin' along. I don't sleep much cause I'm studying a lot, and I haven't had a good nap in a long time. But I just keep chuggin' along.

It's hard to put a finger on what it is that's keeping me going. Generally, I'm just happy.

I like this song right now.

Elevators

Today I found the Clyde Building elevators! I knew they existed I just had never seen them before. So I get in the elevator to go to the 4th floor to my secrete password lab. But as I push the button I realized that there was a 5th floor button. I didn't know there was a fifth floor. So I press it cause I was curious what was up there. Well someone got in the elevator with me from the fourth floor to go to the 2nd floor. So we get to the 5th floor and I step off and turn to the right and there's a locked door 5 feet in front of me, and that's it. There's NOTHING UP THERE! Of course i couldn't just get back on because I didn't want to look like an "idiot gettin' back on" so I get against the wall and wait for the elevator to close so he wouldn't see me just standing there with no where to go.

"When you look at it quick that 5 looks like a 4 and I was lookin' at it quick, too quick probably... probably..." haha

The other week I get on an elevator with this girl and she gave me the thing that people do with their eyebrows. It's like, hey... welcome to the area. :D

Don't pee on my face!

This past couple of weeks was kind of weird. Two times I was accused of doing something I did not do because of the car I drive. Once by the police and once by a kid that unfortunately got his face peed on. You think that's weird, it gets weirder.

So last week on Friday, my mom calls me to tell me that the police called. They said that a 2001 Toyota Tacoma registered to Debbie Whitaker and Brian Whitaker was involved in a hit and run in Santa Margarita, CA earlier that day. In case you didn't know, I drive a 2001 Toyota Tacoma that is registered to Debbie Whitaker, my mom, and Brian Whitaker, my brother. So my first thought was that my car had been stolen, but then I was like, it's in California?! Why didn't they take me with them? haha just kidding. So my mom told me to go out to the parking lot to see if my car is still there and that it's ok with all of it's licence plates on it. I go out there and it's fine, not a scratch there. And both licence plates are still there. So I talk to my mom more and she tells me that they were accusing her and my brother of withholding information on an important investigation. I'm like, what the heck! So long story short, we called back, got ignored a little bit, we left a message and to my knowledge they never called back or anything.

So about the pee guy. Tonight I was driving Tenery and Rylee to their dorm so Tenery could get something to give to Corbin back at our dorm. So we get to their dorm and Tenery goes inside to get the lemon juice (that's what she was getting) and I get out to scrape the ice off of my windshield. While this was happening a car had pulled into the parking lot behind us and this guy gets out of the car full of his friends and starts walking up to me. As he walked towards me he said, "DUDE! Were you at that party? Did you pee on my face?!" 0_0 I was quite sure how to respond so I just said, "What are you TALKING about?" So he persists and tells me that he was at this party and this guy peed on his face and his friends told him that the guy that did it has a car that looks like mine. (...are you kidding me...?) So I was like, I was NOT at a party and I did NOT pee on your face! He still does not believe me so I open up the door and I was like Rylee, tell him what we were just doing. (we had been playing Phase Ten). So the guy starts yelling at Rylee, telling her that "Someone peed on my face!" Rylee responded, "I'm sorry...???" crazy guy: "NO! Someone PEED on my face!" Rylee: "I'm REALLY sorry...???" Then the guy finally gives up and says, "So you swear you didn't pee on my face?" Dude, NO! And he walks back to his car frustrated and they all drive away.

Moral of the story is, DON'T drive a green Toyota Tacoma unless you are looking for trouble. ...oh and please... don't pee on my face!

I Have the Password!

So there is this room on the 4th floor of the Clyde building that you cannot get into without a secret password. This room is filled with computers and CADEM access and AutoCAD capabilities and everything. OH MY! They have printers!!! I was just looking around the room and there they were. I didn't know there were printers in the Clyde building that would be accessible to anyone. Well, when I say anyone I mean only people with the password. ...guess what... I have the password! It's pretty great being a somebody with a password. :D

Behold the Awesome Respect

This morning, walking home at 750 AM from my 7 AM class (don't get me started) our nations national anthem began to play over a loud speaker somewhere in the distance. I assume it was for the flag raising ceremony, but I could not see the flag from where I was. The playing of our national anthem was enough to make everyone on campus stop walking and pay their respect to our great nation. Lets all remember why we pay such AWESOME Respect to the United States of America and why it is such a blessing to live in this great nation.

Excitment

They say that Excitment is being anxious to do the next thing, or hardley being able to wait for something to happen. Well I'm excited for the now, because life is good and I'm happy. and tomorrow, I will be excited for the now as well. Living in the moment, and living it to the fullest is what life is all about. We should take every opportunity to tell those around us how they make us feel, and how much we really do love them. Living in the moment and cherishing it as if it was your big moment on stage is what being human is all about.

Now that I've told you about Excitement, I'll tell you what I'm excited for. I'm excited for my family, and the love we share. I'm excited about my friends and how they're always there for me. I'm excited about Jesus Christ and how he died for us so that we can repent and come unto him, forgiven of all our sins. He made the impossible possible and I'm excited about that. I want to share this simple gospel message with the world, and since that's not possible, I'm excited to go on my mission so I can spread that message to a nation that at this time is waiting for me. I'm EXCITED!

California!!!

I love being with family and Siblings! ...and the 80 degree weather isn't bad either. When I can go outside at 530 in the morning with a thin beach jacket and shorts and not die... that's the life. Don't get me wrong though, I'm super excited about living in the snow... but it's nice to be warm for a little bit. And in December, when it gets a little too cold for me, I'll come home to my warm paradise. A little of what I've done this week, I played volleyball, basketball, ping pong and I ran a 10K. Oh, and I've eaten more than I have in months. Delicious! I went to Disneyland too with Athena and Kimly who I haven't seen in a long time and Lynne and Dave. It was a little crowded but we still had a great time. I'm still a little sore from running... like I can't move! so yeah, it's been a great week. But I'm ready for a break from my break! haha

Bros at BYU

So there's Palmer of course! he's going to be my new roommate. He's awesome cool and VERY energetic at times, just my type. haha But we have a lot in common. I like all of his music, and he likes most of mine I think. (that's very important in a roommate I've come to find out)

Will, this dudes sweet! he's unlike any other and he's not afraid to show you. Lives life to the fullest and just a great guy. Hopefully we can go hit the slopes a lot together next semester with no classes on Tuesday or Thursday!!!

Conor!!! We do Calc Homework and I'm pretty sure neither of us would have survived the past few weeks in that class without each other. He loves We Shot the Moon (one of my new favorite bands possibly) and he's going to the Baltic's on his mission. Just an all around cool guy. He used to go to sleep by about 10, but we're slowly breaking him from the habit. muahaha.

*These are definitely the three that I hang out with the most. They're awesome and we never fail to have fun.

In'N'Out strikes OREM!!!

I just went to In'N'Out and it was GREAT!!! and yes, I'm still in Provo!!! this could mean only one thing... the In'N'Out in Orem Utah (5 minutes from BYU campus) just opened TODAY!!! It as packed, but we still got our food in less than 20 minutes total. it was impressive. Oh and people actually camped out in front last night waiting for it to open this morning! It made me proud that so many people were as excited about it opening up as I was.
