Good day

So today was a pretty good day. Well, it started out kind of weird because when I woke up I thought it was Tuesday. But when I finally figured out what day it was, the rest of the day went pretty smooth. Classes were interesting and I stayed awake. I got to see mom and say goodbye, which was sad. I had a good breakfast of a banana and yogurt. When I got out of class, I listened to a message Rick had left me during geography. He was like "I couldn't find the post it notes, so I decided to call instead to give you a warning. There is something waiting for you on the table." My first thought was a puppy, but then I thought about it a second and we are not allowed to have puppies. When I got home I looked on the table and there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers waiting for me! That totally made my day. Work is pretty easy tonight, which is cool. Then for family home evening tonight we are going to book our B&B for our anniversary. We've been married ten months today, it is getting so close to a year, which is weird, but awesome. I saw PJ Eager today, and Steph, that was nice. Hey, what does everyone think about doing a little something for Halloween tomorrow night?

Somebody's Tired

So, I don't want to do any more homework, even though I haven't done that much in the first place. However, I did get 100% on my stats quiz, which basically means I rock. Today Rick slept until noon, and I was totally jealous. And it is funny because he didn't even wake up on his own. I called and had to basically yell into the answering machine to wake him up. ABUSE! Rick just hit me, and as everyone knows, that will happen exactly once! School is eating up all my time, time in which I could be doing things like sleeping, eating cookies and brownies, reading good books and basically just hanging out. This weekend will be nice though, I don't really have much going on homework wise, which means I can party hard with Mom. I'm excited to get curtains for the living room, it will make the room look so much nicer. And I'm contemplating getting new throw pillows for the couch. And I'm excited to go to Salt lake, it will be awesome! Okay, nothing else really going on.

Cute socks

As I was digging through my sock drawer today I thought about how I have the cutest socks. Colorful socks just do something for me, they add a bit of happy to whatever I'm wearing.

In other news Rick has a phone interview with Omniture for an internship, and that would be awesome.

It is hard to hear what your computer is saying about stats when you are in the shower.

Nice people are nice to work with, especially when they have cute smiles and smile every time you make eye contact.

The Mediterranean will get hotter in the future, causing fewer northern Europeans to go there in the summer time. I wonder if that will make it cheaper to go there?

The idea of making and eating brownies is making so that I don't want to go to bed.

Tomorrow in RMYL we will spend most of the time talking about Disneyland, and I feel I will do well with this topic.

A shoutout

This post is for all you crazy kids who actually read this, especially Shyla. Today was a busy but pretty good day. Woke up, went to my presidency meeting and visited some new members of our ward. One of them has a one and a half year old girl who I couldn't stop staring at because she looks so much like I did when I was that age. It was kind of weird, but cool. Church was pretty good, but I was tired becasue I stayed up with rick last night till 3:30 because he was finishing the Harry Potter book, and it takes him longer than five minutes to read. So while I was waiting for him to finish I took a nice bubble bath and brought in rick's laptop and watched a movie till all the bubbles were gone.

I just heard my neighbors stomping around. I am going to kill them some day, they drive me crazy. If I only had a sniper rifle...

This week will hopefully not be too busy. I have a paper to write, and a test on Friday, but that's about it. I'll be able to go to yoga this week, which I am so excited about. And this week is homecoming, which is just fun because of the things that go on.

I like school, but I need a break. It has only been a month and a half and I already feel burned out. I just need a few days to organize the apartment, sleep, and go do something fun without having to worry about homework or studying. That would be so awesome.

To fail or not to fail?

Hamelt, a random spanish baroque play, countless paintings, music with crazy long titles. I can't focus on it all, I don't want to study for this test anymore. I just want to take it and get it overwith. Right now I'm feeling like I don't care how well I do on the test, I just want it to be over. I know I won't feel that way once I've gotten some sleep. I should have done more studying, but I get distracted so easily. That's why I'm typing this now.

With a name like Albrecht, no wonder he was famous. Grunewald was gruesome. Campin was Merode. Borromini borrowed from Bernini. These are all thought and tricks to try and help me remember what the heck I've been studying. Does it make any sense? Probably not to you, but all those things help me know exactly what I'm talking about.

After I take this test, I get to go back to the Hercynian hills, celtic languages and Islam.

Life's a Dream

Two more midterms next week, not happy. 6 hours worth of RS training and meetings, also not happy. Can't go to yoga this week either, what a pity. Sad how things tend to pile up on eachother. But going on a 2 hour walk last night was fun, its been awhile since we've done that. We used to go on long walks all the time, I love long walks. Bowling was fun too. Except for the fact that Julie beat me in the last frame, grrrrr. And now Rick has finally made his mark on the chatfield vocabulary with his fwench piwate.

Today the leaves were finally dry enough to be crunchy, I was in heaven. Collette got me addicted to crunching leaves during the fall, it is way too much fun. I may have to allot more time to walking to class so that I have proper crunching time.

I wish a day off of school was coming up soon, I need a day to just chill and not have to worry about doing any studying or anything. That is why Rick and I have decided on a theme of relaxation for our anniversary. Okay, not really, but we decided less was more. Don't plan so much so that if we don't want to do anything, we don't have to. December is too far away.

Oh, and looking back at the title for this post, Life's a dream is a play I just finished reading. It was good. I think it is true in a sense, life is a dream in some ways. Especially today for me. During my nap I kept dreaming that I knew I was sleeping. It was a weird sensation. But hey, it is better than getting chomped in half by a T Rex like I did the other night. That was just plain gross.

I did it

Watched both sessions of conference. Made hot chicken salad that was delicious. Had Jared and Christine over. Lost Disney Sorry. Met another old mission companion of Rick's. Finished studying (kind of) for my geography test. Wrote that dumb paper about bloody paintings.
