My New Favorite Song



My roommate, Amy and I heard this song the other day and fell in love with it. I do believe that cello is my new favorite instrument. Its so relxing and rich sounding. Our FHE brother Ben played it for us on his cello and I admit its even better in person. So just in case you wanted to be totally relaxed by the soft melody i posted a video of it here just for you. (p.s. no this isn't my fhe brother, but he is really good at playing the cello)

Where has the time gone?



Okay, So everyday I have told myself to post something new and then the day comes and goes and I find I still haven't accomplished anything on my todo list. These last couple of weeks have been pretty busy with school and life in general. Life is good though. I can't complain. Recently my FHE group made a video for a ward activity. It was pretty fun I would try to explain it but I fear you wouldn't understand. I think one of the guys is going to post it on facebook or something I'll let you know if they do.On Saturday I went country dancing for the first time. It was a lot of fun although I didn't know what i was doing have the time. I am taking a country dance class, but they don't do the same steps there at the center. My teacher likes to call it no rhythm dancing :) It was fun though until a guy was like now you jump on me and I was like...you want me to do what? The girls are fearless there. I couldn't do half the lifts and things that they do. Oh I was also dipped a couple of times which was fun. It was funny though thats how they ended every dance its like a dance wasn't complete without a good ol dip. It was fun. On Sunday we watched Chariot's of Fire with mu FHE brothers. They have realized how uncultured we are, so they invite us whenever they watch classic films. Anyway it was good. Last week we watched Life is Beautiful which is one of my new favorite movies. Although it is sad its a must see. Just to warn you it is in Italian so its in subtitles but its totally worth it. Okay I will quit boring you all to death. Hoepfully next time I will have some more exciting information to tell you.

I Could Have Danced All Night

This past weekend was the national amateur dancesport competition. If you don't know what that is its a big ballroom competition. I competed Friday morning in the quickstep, it was for one of my classes I am taking in school. Friday night I had the opportunity to go and watch the best dancers compete. It was amazing. I have never seen so many good dancers before and their costumes were gorgeous. Look at their dresses, I wanted to get all dressed up too. I got there around 5:30pm to watch my classmates in the quarterfinal and I stayed until 11:30pm and they still weren't quite finished yet. I just couldn't leave. I love dancing and I love to watch people dance, they just make it look so easy when in reality its not. Believe me I know, I don't look very graceful doing the waltz. :) Once again I have made a resolution to become a better dancer. Sadly I think that in order to get better I will need to do more than just take classes here at BYU, but who knows...maybe one day that will be me...a girl can hope can't she?

p.s. my bum is still sore from sitting on the bleachers all night. Note to self, next time take a blanket to sit on.

Its a Love Hate Relationship.



Okay, So last night I realized I was going to be up later than I had expected so I decided to give into the munchies that I always get. My choice of snack POPCORN( It was the 94%fat free kind- I am trying to be good ) Anyway I quite enjoyed it...in fact I ate the whole bag :( Somehow i just kept eating and eventually I look down and the bag is empty. So today I was at school and then all of a sudden my tongue felt something on my tooth..... it was one of those kearnel things. Anyway it was down in my gum and it was bugging me, but I'm sure you all know what I mean when I say it won't go away. I kept on digging at it with my tongue until my mouth hurt and still no progress. Rats. Why does there always have to be one kernel that sticks around the next day? Needless to say it had to stay there all day.

Procrastination Queen!!

I am known for my procrastination, and ironically some of my best work is done at the last minute. i just wish that for once I would get things done early so I wouldn't have to stay up at all hours of the night. A perfect example is tonight. Right now I should be reading my History but no who wants to read about the Chinese Dynasty when you can start a blog. I admit I have been thinking about starting a blog for awhile and well what better time than tonight, when I want to do something other than my homework. Someday I will get over my procrastination, but that won't be tonght. I hope to keep my blog updated, but with my busy schedule who knows. We shall see.
