BYU-I wins this one. BYU doesn't know how to get rid of snow on the sidewalk.

Just that dumb song

For the past month I have had the Michael Buble/Amy Grant version of "Grown Up Christmas List" in my head. I am currently listening to it as I write this post. Some other songs that are often in my head

1. L.O.V.E.-You know "L" is for the way you look at me, O is for the only one I see...

2. Firework-Ringtone

3. Kiss the Girl-Shalalalalala kiss the girl... Disney's The Little Mermaid

4. Come Come Ye Saints

All of these songs come to mind if ANYONE says ANYTHING that even might pertain to the song title/lyrics/theme/etc. I then start singing. Doesn't really matter where I am either.

Two cups of my life.

I donated blood today. I am sacrificing quite a lot to even write this post right now because my finger is bruised from the finger prick-worst part. I was so brave the whole time though that I even got some cookies and juice at the end.

I'm happy that I helped save a life today... as long as I don't get sick in the next week and have to call and cancel my donation.

Sometimes I feel like I'm more awkward now-in college-than I ever did go high school.

click.....click.....click...

For years my jaw has clicked. I didn't worry about it until recently. Very recently. This morning it got stuck. I had to rip my mouth open real fast and it popped super loud and it hurt. The rest of the day it was fine, but while I was just barely eating a granola bar, it started hurting again. I don't want jaw surgery.

It's Tuesday and I'm in Anatomy.

Another list of ten events from my day

1. It was 13 degrees when I got in the car to leave for work this morning. Oh how I did not miss Rexburg today.

2. I survived my fourth real day at my new job(physical therapy aide)

3. I got up at 6am so I could shower and then be ready for work by a little before 8am.(I never skip breakfast either.)

4. I survived 3.5 straight hours of class.(wish me luck every monday and wednesday for the rest of the semester!)

5. I woke up to a clean room

6. I was going to give blood and then decided that I was too dehydrated, but I am going to make another appointment and be prepared next time.

7. I'm wearing my snuggie right now.

8. My mommy, sister, cousin and aunt went out to lunch without me.

9. I went to the gym with my cousin for the fifth time in the past week!!

10. I looked more closely at the Survivor application and realized that it has to be received by tomorrow(the 11th)not postmarked!!! DANG IT!! I guess next year will have to be my lucky year. :.(

All in all, not in my top five days of my life. That's for sure.

Here's to making it through the first week of a new semester/job!

Yet another new semester

Right now I am sitting in room 248 in the MARB(I would write out the entire name of the building, but I don't even know what the real name is). It is Nursing 180. I have just one other class today-PDBIO220 aka anatomy. I'm a little nervous for that class to say the least. I am also taking PLSCI201 HUM202 Teachings of the living prophets and maybe a writings of isaiah.

Hopefully, the semester goes well.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
