creepy crawler in the kitchen

There was a centipede in our kitchen. Three screaming fits and a styrofoam cup later, Mindy killed it and saved our lives.

ieowfkls;dc,xmzjknfaslkdfjawoieksldfnvi;jelkfdmxz.,mvnlrejafds,mdsalvkcx;klj;adlskf=how I feel right now.

I work at a physical therapy office as an aide. On Fridays I will usually ask patients how their week has been. Some of them will give me a good reply, and then they ask me how my week has been. I told them it has been bittersweet. I have seen a lot of family this week, which I absolutely love, but it is because my dear cousin broke his sweet little back. Actually, he isn't that little, and the break wasn't little either, but we had some get-togethers, which made the week way fun.

What else happened this week? On sunday I hurt my neck, I then had the physical therapist for whom I work look at it. He made it feel much better, but then I started feeling ill. By the end of work on thursday I thought I was a. going crazy or b. going to die. After getting out of work I went straight to the doctor where I found out I have vertigo. From hurting my neck. He gave me some dizzy pills, and life has been much better since.

Tonight I'm going to soldier hollow to go tubing with my singles ward. I have no idea how it will turn out. I am trying to have zero expectations.

Maybe, maybe not.

I may or may not be in humanities right now.

I may or may not tie my jacket around my waist today when I get tired of carrying it.

I may or may not toss my cookies at the worst possible time today.

I may or may not fall asleep any second.

I may or may not highly dislike my humanities professor.

I may or may not care about the song of roland.

I may or may not be super excited to watch BYU play tomorrow night. I may or may not be getting/already be sick.

I may or may not go to my next class.

I may or may not pass my anatomy quiz tonight.

I may or may not pass my anatomy class this semester.

It may or may not rain today.

Last night I saw The Adjustment Bureau. It was real good. Matt Damon and Emily Blunt are amazing actors. To make it even sweeter, I get extra credit in Political Science for seeing it.

bleh

my roommate and her friend are studying chemistry in our apartment right now. I am bored even listening to them try to do their homework. I need to make sure I don't pick a major which involves a single chemistry class. I guess that means no nursing... I really need to get my priorities straight.

Saturday is a special day

I went swimming at the gym this morning.

I cleaned my room today.

The lights in my room are out.

I am in the middle of doing my laundry.

I'm watching the BYU v. SDSU MWC championship game right now.

I have a midterm to finish before 1 pm on monday.

I still don't like dr. pepper.

It's been real good weather recently.

I'm donating blood on Thursday-a.k.a. St. Patty's Day!!

I am bothered.

If you have never been to robertisbothered.com-go there now. It is absolutely hilarious.

I have recently been thinking about some things that bother me.

1. Girl Scouts do not come to the student apartments. I want some girl scout cookies.

2. I ipod touch gets fingerprints on it quite easily. I'm thinking about just using as a small table from now on.

3. When the people above us are getting a new water heater/floor and it makes my apartment super noisy.

4. When people don't replace the TP roll when it runs out.

5. Yawning

germs

One of my biggest frustrations/growing phobias/fears is deciding to get some hand sanitizer, and then walking over, pushing the button, and having no sanitizer come out. I am then left with a hand covered in more germs than I had before, and no hand sanitizer dispenser/sink with soap in sight. I then have to change my plans until I find one of the two, sometimes I am late for class, sometimes I catch colds, or the flu, or mononucleosis because of this.

Actually, I have never had mononucleosis, but there is no knowing whether I have contracted the previous two from empty hand sanitizer dispensers or from something/someone else.

What the crazy??!

My umbrella basically saved my life today. My boots did not. I remembered that I do in fact enjoy running. Chili is yummy. I am one step closer to retaking anatomy this summer. I want to paint my apartment this weekend. It's a good think I clipped my toenails yesterday. I need to go back to second grade science class when they teach about precipitation. Cafe Rio burritos are not even half as good the next day. I still like showering in the morning more. I'm getting my new retainer tomorrow. I don't enjoy blow-drying my hair, but I enjoy wet hair even less. I am excited to be a wife and mother and have my very own house one day.

Busy busy busy

Today we invited some boys over for breakfast, so we made yummy yummy french toast with fresh strawberry syrup and whupped creane, bacon, and OJ. Super good. Then we got ready and went to stake conference that started at 3. That ended at 5, so we walked straight through the rain to the Marriot Center for the CES fireside. We got there early, so we had SAH-WEET seats! Then we came home and made dinner which I had planned thanks to Angie Adam/Sister Gleed and their amazing recipe for Stromboli!! It was so good, and now I am stuffed.

All together a good day.

the greenest

Happy March!!

My roommate's computer is possessed/haunted/alive. She will put it to sleep, but leave the screen up, and then randomly the screen will turn back on/light up. It's pretty freaky.

My retainer broke so I went to the orthodontist for the first time since 2004. Sadly, my old retainer will not be able to be fixed, so I am getting a new one made. I was very proud of myself, I didn't even gag once while having the impression taken. I also decided that as I am now 20 years old, it would be inappropriate to get a camo/neon colored/glitter decorated retainer, so instead I got an opaque green one.

Today I have also played wii fit, had blood drawn, visited with my mamma, had breakfast and lunch and checked my e-mail.

The sun is burning my eyes out.

THe above title has nothing to do with this post. It is just the sun was quite bright when I exited the Tanner building/church today.

I have noticed that in the past week I have started thinking that inanimate objects look like anatomy structures. i.e. I'm walking home from class and see a rock and think "oh, that looks like a platella." I know. It's pretty weird. I'm getting a little more nervous for anatomy because the fire marshall made a visit and said that too many students were in the open lab at a time. THis led to an e-mail from the head anatomy professor explaining that only 24 students would be allowed in open lab each hour, and students are only allowed to spend up to 2 hours in lab each week. Ah!! I have no idea how I'm going to pass this class.

I just got home from the grocery store. It's hard to shop for food when I'm not allowed to eat anything harder/chewier than well baked fish. I don't even know what that means. Pretty sure I haven't eaten fish in over a year. I ended up buying bananas, grapes, yogurt, cottage cheese, bread and facewash. I'm not planning on eating the facewash.

Today I met with an academic counselor. He didn't really tell me very much new information, but he just encouraged me to chase my dreams and take advantage of the amazing opportunities offered at BYU. It wasn't the best experience, but better than any of my meetings with my high school advisor. ha.

This evening I spent three point five hours in the library studying. I know I'm amazing. It was actually very nice. I really enjoyed just getting into my homework. I think I'll try it more often.

Well, it's time to go get ready for bed/put a bag of hot rice on my face/sleep.

1 down 3 to go

I took my anatomy midterm tonight. I have never been so nervous for a test in my entire life. Not even the ACT or the AP spanish test or my drivers ed test. Hopefully I did alright, I mean I felt like I knew most of the terms, but the spelling is what is questionable. I also couldn't stop thinking about a former roommate(you know who you are) who was an anatomy TA once upon a time who may or may not have made fun of students when they put the wrong answer.

I can't even describe my excitement about the fact that I have no class tomorrow.

three minutes

I have three minutes left in my dinner break before I am going back to the anatomy lab to continue my studying. First, I want to make an edit to my post from yesterday. I had originally written that I have 3 finals this week. Myth. I have four. It's alright though. I will survive. I am planning on going on a study abroad next year. I just cant decide between Jerusalem or London! If anyone has any comments on that-please feel free to help me out and tell me what you think. I am excited for this week. It's going to be a hard one, but I feel confident that once it is over I will still be alive-which is all that matters...maybe.

Well, there's the bell, which means it is 6pm and my three minutes are up.

This week

This week will include: 3 midterms(anatomy, teachings of the living prophets, political science). 1 meeting with a nursing advisor. 2 papers. Payday. 1-3 emotional breakdowns. 3-4 trips to the gym. 3 days of work. Monday classes on Tuesday. 8 class periods. 2 lecture reviews.

Wish me luck.

Cancelled.

Today I didn't feel well-my tummy felt all turned upside-down. Well, I really didn't want to throw up, so I decided that it was a good idea to take a quick 10 minute power nap. My cat nap turned into a 1.5 hour re-vamp. (you are probably thinking, "courtney, don't you have class during that time?-the answer is yes. Usually. Today I only kind of had class. I missed my religion class, and my humanities class was CANCELLED!!!! Yay!!) I did go to my polisci class, and my anatomy lab. I think I did really well on my anatomy quiz, but I felt the same way last week, and that didn't turn out well.

Things I'm excited for:

1. three day weekend

2. only one more class this week

3. Sledding/skiing after the awesome snow storm outside.

Things I'm dreading:

1. Political science paper due on Monday

2. Anatomy mid-term next Wednesday(oh how I wish I took this class last winter when Angie the Anatomy Goddess was my roommate.)

7. I'm not wearing a stitch of red or pink or purple. Blues and greens and greys are for me.

8. I'm sitting in Humanities right now learning about Virgil's Aeneid-if you don't know what it is, don't ask me because I just spark noted it-there was no way I was going to read 70 pages when the professor told us we would have to spark note it anyway.
