day 5 of week 3

i just remembered i have a blog!

i don't know if anyone really reads it 'cept my mom but hey, it's my excuse of a journal.

so college. YIKES! i ended up with 18 credits. . .didn't i tell myself not to do that in another blog entry? oh well. it should be interesting. i have no time to do anything really. i go to school, practice after school, am in a service choir, then either go home to work or to study. no groceries, no shopping, no boys, no friends, NO LIFE! i know. it's sad. :'( i squeeze in a little on the weekends or if i want to stay up really late (which is very rare these days) but other than that i'm a loser. and so far it doesn't seem to be paying off. i did really bad on my second math assignment and i haven't practiced organ at all this week cause my job. . . does anyone have that time twister travelly thing Hermione has in that Harry Potter Goblet of Fire movie?

THAT'S who i feel like!!! Hermione who lost her cool necklace to travel in time. . . and still trying to make it to everything. no way. nope. no way.

i wonder how long this schedule will last. . .

college: round 2

i think i've grown up a little bit.

hopefully.

the petty things that would work me up just can't this time around. like the garbage laying around? yeah it's gross or whatever, but when one of your roommates has a walking disability and has problems getting around the apartment, things like that don't matter anymore. i have legs. i can take it to the garbage. it's not a big deal.

i'm really glad that i got these awesome girls as roommates this year. like spring and summer too. i've learned a lot and am excited to apply them to a better year. i changed my attitude. and hopefully the dumb bishop has too. . . maybe he just won't remember.

but classes. oh my. it's been a struggle. scheduling problems, prerequisite mess ups, and BOMBING a choir tryout. :( oh well. it may be a simple year after all.

anyways. i think if not only simpler, it will be better.

i think i've grown up a little bit.

OH lovely

so today.

ugh. it was long!

but at least i got some stuff done? no that's not how i should put it. . . i went shopping some :D that's better.

so after taking my cousins to the aquarium and driving downtown to get rid of them, i decided to hit up nordstrom rack. i found my mom an AWESOME YOGA shirt. . . you will see her sporting that around the gym thanks to her thoughtful daughter ;)

THEN, my aunt, mother and I, before seeing MAMMA MIA, hit up TARGET for some quick browsing. I was admiring my first zit of the summer in the big 3-fold mirror. HORRIFIED. my aunt decided to make it a public notice. "ATTENTION TARGET SHOPPERS! HOLLI HAS A ZIT" it was lovely. then this lady walked by me and was like, "shit happens." i guess she was right. shit does happen. . . too bad it was on my face and was announced to the world. :S

so we make it to our movie, and i was graciously treated to the ticket by my aunt lee :D (thanks) so yeah. after humming along, enjoying the old man butt, and slightly suffering through the not-quite-in-tune voices, the credits finally come on. oh yeah. but it's "DANCING QUEEN." hmm. good song and all till my mom starts DANCING in her seat. not like little dancing so that only me and my aunt who are surrounding her can see. NO! like arms waving and singing at the top of her lungs dancing. i scooted over a chair. i'm not gonna lie. BUT after getting over the embarrassment, i just decided to join. so my mom and i are definitely dancing to dancing queen after the movie and we got our share of giggles and followers. it was fun. good memories with my MAMMA :D

ticklish feet

so i'm sitting here with the kids i nanny and thinking i need to blog some more. they are tickling my feet and wiping their spit on each other. fabulous :S maybe i should discipline. . . .but i'm sitting here listening to the camp rock soundtrack and am a bit. . . involved :D

but this summer has flown by. only another month. and it will consist of more nannying. i love it! i get to hang with kids and fund my shoe addiction. lol.

breaking dawn comes out tonight! i'm so excited. i'll give you an update on that book once i finish it. . . hopefully sunday! hahaha. i'm so excited for it. and in the newspaper this morning, there are all these groups of the fans of the vampire books. some even traveled to Forks to explore the area in the book. . . wow. that's dedication.

so i get to go put the miley cyrus cd on some ipods. . . go me

nightmares, naps, and nannying

so last sunday, as many of us do, we roll out of bed, sit through church. . . then usually, i take a nap. hahah. but i haven't been sleeping well lately. i've had the worst dreams EVER! i keep having this one dream that there are mountain lions living in my yard so they pretty much want to eat us. hahah. but the repetitive one that is even worse is me dreaming i was forced to move into my old apartment with my old roommates. IT WAS A HORRIBLE DREAM! i woke up at like 6 this morning panting and in a cold sweat it was so terrifying. YIKES! i just hope nothing like that does happen. i mean, i think i learned a lot of lessons that needed to be learned and i really don't wanna go back. haha.

but for now, i think i will just enjoy living back at home where my mommy makes me dinner. . . sometimes.

and i am working 3 jobs. ya think that's enough? i started nannying today. . . eeek. the kids are growing up and they have ATTITUDE! i dunno how i feel about them freaking out about the little stuff but it's ok, it was the 1st day. it should get better. but i got home and am pretty much drained from playing mom. . .

so i think i'll go take a nap.
SWEET DREAMS!

ode to mom

so i remember those times that my mom would be like, holli, seriously, don't just take clothes out of the dryer and throw them in a basket. it makes them wrinkly and just makes more work.

well- now i understand this.

everyone says that the stuff your mom teaches you doesn't really sink in till you have to deal with it or whatnot. well, i apparently do now.

i got a new roommate.

i don't even know her name and she's lived here for a few days.

but i went to work, (note a 3 hour shift), and had left my clothes to dry. i came home and my clothes were beautifully stuffed onto the dryer. mmmm. all my wrinkly work pants will have to wait for my new roommates clothes to finish drying till i can try to dewrinkle them. . . and i don't have an iron so that's not an option.

moral of the story.
fold your laundry.
or karma will get you.

But even at our swifted speed, we couldn't break from the concrete. . .

so, going into my last week of spring term , i figured i should sit, blog, and catch my mom up before i'm overwhelmed with my whole 2 finals, one of which is open book. lol. and the other is not comprehensive. i'm SO EXCITED!!! i really like this spring term. i don't know why i just don't do it and skip fall or something. hahah.

but i saw STOMP last night at Capitol Theatre and it was AMAZING!!! the beatboxing with brooms? garbage bags? then the clapping? i so can't even clap that fast. it was crazy!

so because it is the last week of class, 3 of my 4 classes were canceled today. i only have psychology. . . in which the teacher is. . . ummm. yeah. let's just say i wouldn't get my week's eye candy if that class was canceled. but really.

crushes on teachers? did anyone else suffer from this? like, 2 of my teachers- i would just love to be like, "hey you. date me!" they are grad students(one from sandy and the other from LIVERPOOL) so it's not that bad. . .but still. argh! it will never happen :( but i can add them on facebook after finals are over. lol. oh BYU and it's dating game. wow.
