Laser Tagging

One of the few holiday traditions my family has is going to Laser Assault in Provo(UT) to play laser tag. I'm being very humble when I say that I am the best in my family. Well, not five minutes into our game, I went to peek around a corner and was met with a gunt in my mouth-literally. Blood was dripping off my chin as I rushed out of the game room and out to the entrance area to get some ice. Luckily, they had plenty of ice available and I am now on the mend and feeling much better(this may be due to the painkillers I took, but I'd like to think it is due to the love my brother put into the chocolate pudding he got for me.).

Let's just say that next time I will be wearing a football helmet complete with face mask.

Happy New Year.

skiing

I went skiing for the first time this year today. It didn't go too well. I will survive though. Let's just say the day ended with riding the lift DOWN the mountain while listening to Alyson tell those riding up one of the following(while pointing at me):

she's hurt

she fell down

she was too scared

she's single

We're not real skiers, we just came to ride the lift

We are only here to find boyfriends

Don't go down Bearclaw-you will hate your life

In the end I did get one phone number and a whole bunch of weird looks.

I'm pretty sure I just hear santa walking around upstairs, so I need to go to sleep. Merry Christmas!

I don't even want to talk to you.

Yesterday I took my new phone back to get a different new phone because I didn't like my first new one. Now I have a better new phone that is a sweet metallic blue color. I'm stoked for it. I already like it more than my first new phone. Getting new phones has made me think though-why do we NEED cell phones? I mean, I understand having one while driving in the car-in case of an accident one can call for help, but really, we do not need phones except to call in emergencies. I have been thinking a lot about how attached we as a society are to our phones as well as electronics. The result of this thinking=the second week in January(Sunday through Saturday) I will not be using my phone for texting and I will be taking a break from FB, Blogger, People.com, Yahoo.com, YouTube, and any other recreational use.

In Short:

1. If you want to get a hold of me you need to 1. find me in person or 2. Call me.

that's all.

Happy Holidays

Fall 2010

Fall 2010 is officially over. I survived my first semester at BYU(provo). I surprisingly did as well as I had hoped I would on all of my finals. I may or may not go crazy waiting for the 29th to roll around to see my official final grades. But all in all, I am just excited to be done and be home relaxing and doing nothing but getting excited for Christmas(and maybe going on a ski trip or two, reading a good book or two, going to a party or two).

In case I don't get a chance to say it later,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

It is Tuesday night. 9:09PM to be exact. I have only one final left to take and I am oh so happy!!! This whole "finals week" thing is a little new to me. At BYU-Idaho I had most of my finals the last day of class. My last final is a take home test for Women's Health. Hopefully, I can finish it quickly so I can be DONE with my very second fall semester of my life in college.

I hope I am finished with school in 5 semesters.(very unlikely, but I need some sort of goal.)

:(

Today I got a sliver in my finger. It hurt real bad until I pulled it out.

My Saturday before Finals

Get out of bed at 10:30. Eat breakfast. Procrastinate studying while playing on the internet for (about) 3 hours. Eat small lunch. Go to grocery store. Help roommate (megan) make cookies. Spend 3.5 hours on research paper. Work on mission prep take-home test for 30 min. Eat dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets for dinner. Go to sister's(Alyson's) to watch Eclipse. Go home. Go to sleep.

My Thoughts recently

I am done with class for fall semester 2010 at BYU. It feels weird. It doesn't feel like it's been a year since I moved away from Lamprecht #306 and my beautiful Margot and Givinig Elizabeth my roommates, into an apartment of complete strangers all of which I grew to love so very much.

In so many ways I feel like I am an entirely different person, but in other ways, I'm still here. Same old Courtney that has always been here.

My pillow is too soft

For the first two days of the week I was so good and got up at 6AM to do Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. Last night, I set my alarm to get up again, and I had every intention of getting up, but when my phone beeped at 6, I started thinking about my day and how busy I am going to be, and I re-set the alarm for later. I am going to be better tomorrow.

On an entirely different note, I have been having some weird dreams lately. I can only remember bits and pieces, but one that I had last night included clogged shower drains, random young children at my parents house, and Gisele Bundchen(the super model).

Imagine my surprise when I was in the restroom at work and I realized my shirt was inside out. Good one courtney.

A while ago, when my sister worked at 6 in the morning, we would text eachother around 7-9ish and tell eachother about our days so far. So that's what this list is all about.
1. I'm at work and I still have 1hr 15min left.
2. I'm tired.
3. I got 8 hrs of sleep last night, and I'm still tired.
4. I need a new water bottle because the water in mine tastes funny.
5. It's quite warm outside this morning.
6. It's probably going to snow tomorrow.
7. I only have one class today.
8. I ran out of frosted mini-spooners this morning.
9. I'm still a couple episodes behind in NCIS
10. It's FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
