procrastination...

wow. it's about time i updated things on here. i am a big procrastinator, combined with being super busy. that's why i've slacked off. here is a list of the new things i've done since thursday the 17th:

friday january 18th: august rush. i don't care what all the critics said, i thought this was a superb movie. and i loved that music was involved. music is life. simple as that.

saturday january 19th: shopping cart races. tyler is always full of interesting ideas :) here are pictures. as you can see, he won and i lost.

sunday january 20th: Weenis! today tyler and i touched weenises for the first time. ps that is just the name for the wrinkley skin on your elbow....what were you thinking?! ;)

monday january 21st: this was a rather uneventful day. but i still managed to do something new. i always miss the logan canyon exit. every time i drive back up here. without fail. i usually get pretty far down the road before i realize i've missed it, but this time i realized right as i missed it, so i got off on the very next exit. thus in brigham city. long story short i got a very nice tour of brigham city as i worked my way back to the main road that goes up sardine canyon. i've never driven through brigham city....quaint little town...

tuesday january 22nd: today i attended a piano literature lecture on a man by the name of Olivier Messiaen and heard some of his works for the first time. amazing composer. beautiful music... and my love of 20th century piano literature continues on....

wednesday january 23rd: tomorrow cortni and bradley and i have to cha cha in front of our ballroom class... so today cortni, bradley and i had a sweet cha cha dance party in the fine arts building. none of the other music majors quite understand us.

thursday january 24th: pepperjack cheese whiz. bet you didn't even know there's such a thing. well there is, and it's really quite good. considering it's cheese, in a can. but i'm not gonna lie...i rather like some processed cheese with my crackers.

friday january 25th: with a new found motivation in my school work, by 4:30 today all of my classes, homework, and practice were done, and i was ready to do something outside of my apartment and the fine arts building. so charli and i started the night off at enrichment night...eating lots of free pizza and making quilts for babies in africa. the night was still young so we ran home, threw on layers and layers of mis-matched clothes, and ran to wal mart to get some sleds. two hours later, one of which was spent sitting in our ridiculous outfits and reading valentine cards and laughing ourselves sick, we left walmart without the sleds (they were sold out. walmart is not supposed to sell out of things.) but with a bag of black trash bags and our sweet roommate katie who we found in front of us in the checkout line. we then headed up to old main (for the non-aggie readers: that is just a building on a big hill on campus...we were heading for the hill, not the building, incase you were confused.) another long story short, we went sledding down old main in trash bags. it was definitely one of the most entertaining experiences of my life. in the video below, it's very hard to see, but that's me sledding/rolling down old main in a trash bag. believe it or not we were definitely not the only crazys sledding at 11:30pm. a group of weird married people befriended us...naming us "the raisins" (yes, i was called a raisin, a california raisin to be specific, for the first time tonight. it was neat.) and let us use their sled. we packed all three of us onto the little sled and flew down that hill like i've never flown down a hill before. i was in the front. it was absolutely terrifying and we nearly hit a telephone pole at the bottom. there was also a group of guys going down on a nasty old recliner with lots of skiis attached to the bottom. (see picture below) it had to be the coolest thing i've ever seen up to this point in life. and something i definitely plan on trying someday. oh what a night....

saturday january 26th: today was a rather boring day. lots of practice. that's about it. but i did make myself a real dinner for the first time this year. chicken, pasta, and green beans. and it was not only eadible, but delicious. hooray! i'm not a lost cause after all :) and i'm finally caught up. long sigh...
