I should probably be studying for finals, cleaning my room, feeding my body, thinking of Christmas presents, thinking of wedding presents [JAKE GETS MARRIED ON FRIDAY!], getting a blanket to warm my toes, going to bed.. All those things and probably more. But, I'm not. I find list blogging is a good way to relieve stress. Not really. But I'd like to do it anyway.

List of my favorite things from last week/this week:

• Surprise visiting my sisters at midnight
• Celebrating Christmas with my besties
• Fishing with macky
• My clothes finally being dry after hanging all over my room for 3 days
  
• Getting work off yesterday
• The finger marks I left in the butter on the counter [Didn't have time to use a utensil. HA.]
  
• Going down to Salt Lake [on a school night! (:]

• Attending the Horse Feathers concert

• Buying super thinly sliced smoked turkey from Smith's deli
• Seeing mass amounts of ridiculously tacky inflatable Christmas decorations
• Having no more class for a month-ish
• Dancing my heart, might, mind, and strength out with Carli [Side note: I will forever ever, ever, ever love dance parties. And I will also forever ever, ever, ever love the fact that Carli and I end up the last ones dancing at every single dance party we go to. TRUE DANCERS WE ARE.]
• Eating donuts every morning, drinking herbal tea every night, and making lots and lots of banana bread
  
• Watching the pebble and the penguin with my roommates
• Getting an A on my paper (:
• Eating pizza my home teachers delivered to me while I was at work [What besties!]
  
• My 14 minute phone call with Benjamin that ended in him saying, "Well, I better let you get back to blogging, so you can get A's on your finals."
• Shuffle picking Only at Christmas Time by Sufjan Stevens while I was driving home in the snow
• Making best friends with the ladies at the calendar and Western Nut kiosk's
• Working out with Elicia and Emily

• Getting a 24 inch Jedi wrap in my 6 inch long hair.

- Fishing Failures -

7:30 a.m. = got up and took a second attempt at fishing. This time we were equipped with cheese marshmallows, smaller hooks, weights, and wd-40.

Great, right?

I don't know why being prepared wasn't something we wanted to try our first time around.

Though we still didn't catch anything, we seem to be improving as fishers. Last time- we didn't get close to catching anything. This time- we had fish checking out our bait the whole time. We also experience the occasional bite that didn't hook.

That's good news for us!

^ = my fishing station.

[I always keep a camping chair in my car and it's surprising how often it comes in handy.]

^ Truth be told- I absolutely hated working with the worms. What nasty creatures.

Two things left to say:

1. Maybe we'll have better luck next time.

2.Life is so good.

- My 200th Blog Post -

I was reading through my blogs recently, labeling them and what not and realized I'd promised pictures of our Seattle trip last July but I never put them up SO.. I did that finally. The post is dated in July so that's where it lay in the archive. But you can also see them if you click HERE.

Earlier this week I announced that I finally have my fishing license! And I'm proud to say- Macky and I put it to use yesterday. We went out into the wild, made ourselves a few fishing poles, and worked 3 different fishing locations. Though the 4 hours of cutting worms and standing in the freezing cold turned out to be a no-fish-failure, the experience was enjoyable. Macky and I laughed so hard and so frequently that I'm surprised neither of us peed our pants over the trip.

It's a

Great day

Natural Disasters test- not graded yet but I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.

Officially listening to Laura Marling ALL DAY. Because I love her.

Took action and got my fishing license. Next= Hunters safety.

and a

Weird day

Natural Disasters class- had to share tests because teacher didn't copy enough?

Waiting for the light, glanced down, HONKED AT BY A GRANDMA!?

Realized I don't remember ANYTHING about fishing after going into
Roundrocks fly fishing store.

P.S. Pretty upset about last nights Bachelor finale. But- we all saw it coming. A+ to Tenley for being the most sweet amazing person ever. And A+ to the show for bringing Ali to be the next Bachelorette.

Jake + Vienna = Worst couple of 2010 (and possible production line of whore children.)
