Bleh

I have been sick for the last two days.  Being sick stinks because, although it's nice to sleep for 11 hours, I know that I have TONS of homework piling up for me to do when I start feeling better.  Some of you may be thinking, really Courtney, tons of homework?  Isn't that a little dramatic?  It is not.  I feel like today I have felt the stress just weighing me down today as I lay sick on the couch.  Tests for 3/5 classes, online quizzes, online submissions of assignments, professor conferences, and the list continues.

Remind me to never get sick again.

My sicky eyes.

famous

Every time I write a blog post I think about how cool it would be to have a super famous blog with hundreds of followers, and then I think about how much pressure that would be and then I just feel like I don't really care if anyone reads this thing.  I have a blog because I like blogging.

where are my pictures?!

The other morning I wrote an amazing post, but I really felt it would not be complete without a picture.  One picture in particular came to mind, but alas, it was not on my computer.  When I finally stole a couple of minutes on the family computer, I was disappointed to find that the picture had been deleted and is gone forever.  I now need to find a different and hopefully better picture to go along with my post that will come very soon.

On a side note, my mommy dropped me off for school today.  She is amazing.  She is always willing to give all of her time and energy to me even though I shouldn't even be living at home anymore.  I love her so much!

15 September 2011

After climbing to the fifth floor of the Harold B. Lee Library on BYU campus, I decided that I did not want to study indoors as the weather is already turning colder and I will miss studying outside.  Through a series of unfortunate events, I decided to take the elevator back down to the ground floor, which you think would be floor one, but it is not.  It is floor 3.  Good thing there is a big star next to the button in the elevator.  I then trekked across Indian Square to the JFSB.  THat was 1.5 hours ago, and now I am here, sitting outside on the second floor balcony, goose bumps covering me as I shiver and type this post.

chemistry home interviews that smell bad

1. I had my study abroad interview on Monday.  I was expecting questions along the lines of "What kinds of sacrifices have/are you made/making to go on study abroad?  Instead, I was asked "What are some of your favorite british works of art or music?"  "What is your favorite literature?"  "Last semester looks like it was a tough one(I may or may not have failed a class), how can we be sure you will be able to stay up with school work in London?"  "What is some of your favorite literature?"  I will find out in a month, or a little less, whether or not I will be living in london for the first 3 months of 2012.

2. I finished my chemistry assignment last night.  There wasn't even a melt-down involved.  Thanks to help from my wonderful brother and his amazing fiancee, I even got 100% on it!!  It's amazing how an opinion about a subject can change when one actually understands it.

3. I am so embarrassed to admit this, but my mommy had to finish my laundry for me this week.  I was very worried about living at home this semester, especially after moving out the past two years, but it has been so much better than I thought it would-probably a little too good because I had to set rules about how much homework had to be completed before going home each day.  I am so thankful for my parents and their willingness to let me live at home!

4.  I bought some air-freshener for my car and it's disgusting.  Don't ever buy the tree-shaped car air-freshener that is called cedarapple or something gross like that, because even if you think it will, it will not smell like christmas.

No new clothes for you

As I've mentioned before, I am hoping and praying that I will get to go on study abroad to London next semester.  If I end up going, I am going to need ever single penny I can get because it's going to drain my bank account plus more.  Because of this, I did not go back to school shopping this year which has really been a problem.  I really feel like back to school shopping helps me get excited for school to start, and, I don't know about you, but when I am wearing super cute new clothes, I feel more confident.  Maybe one good thing that would come if I don't end up going to England will be new clothes!!!

As a side note, my interview with the study abroad directors is moved up to Monday morning!!  Less than a week away!!! I'm so freakin excited/nervous/I don't even know.

This is my desktop wallpaper right now.

The end

My summer job ended today.  I don't know if it hasn't hit me yet or if I just got so apathetic about it that I have to feelings of joy or sadness that it is over.  A little sad, but at the same time good.  It was my fifth summer life guarding.  FIFTH!!  Looking back I can't believe it has only been five years.  It has been fun, but I really don't see myself ever going back.  I'm probably jinxing myself by saying that, but really, I have NO desire to ever life guard ever again.  Unless it is at my grandma's pool and I'm life guarding my cousins.

I have blue with gold sparkles toenail polish on my toes that has been there waaaay too long.  I need to re-paint.

pinteresting birthday gifts

I just joined pinterest and it's a little overwhelming.  I want to start looking for awesome stuff so everyone can be super amazed with my boards, but I'm having pinterest block already.

My brother is getting married and my future sister-in-law's birthday is TOMORROW!!!  My mommy and my sister and I decided we would get her an engagement survival kit which includes:
-bridal magazines
-chap-stick(so her lips wont get chapped)
-breath mints(so her breath doesn't smell bad)
-socks for cold feet
-starbursts for when she needs a burst of energy
-jolly ranchers to help her have a jolly time planning her wedding
-dove chocolates(no explanation needed-chocolate is just a necessity)
-A small pocket-sized composition notebook to have handy
-A Yogurtland gift card
-A cute bag to carry everything in!
One day I will find my long lost camera cord and I will post pictures of all of this.  Maybe.

Here's the thing(yes, I wrote that just for you, Elissa), I am just not super into blogging right now. I feel like I really go through a lot of inner turbulence when I am blogging. What should I blog about, are my blog posts too long, or maybe are they too short? Am I giving way too much information? What is interesting about my life that other peeps might want to know? These are just a couple of the questions that fill my brain until I get distracted doing something else on the computer.
