- I'll Only Be In College Once -

So why not get a mullet to better the experience?


I'll post a better picture soon. I took this from Ashlyn Buchi's facebook, she's the one who cut it.


I've officially met and held a conversation with each one of my roommates. Why couldn't, by some miracle, I have a roommate who has anything in common with me? Bleh.

The 3 of them = Jenny, Danielle, and Lydia.
Jenny and Danielle = sisters.
Danielle and Lydia = best friends.

Apparently Danielle is quite the heart breaker.. We probably don't have the same taste in men so.. I'm not too worried about her stealing the heart of my school girl crush- Who, BTW, I am dying to spend time with, but can't because that would be so conspicuous!

It feels like it's going to be a really good year. My classes went extremely well today, though I need to figure out another 3 credit class to take on top of deductive logic, intro to folklore, and interpersonal communication. Any ideas?

I noticed while walking around campus today that there are an abnormal amount of good looking people up at USU this year. It's like style just hit Logan or something. Yup, it's probably the best thing since Britney Spears.

- America The Beautiful -

I've decided I really like July.

Not so much a fan of the heat.. But I love the celebration, the freedom, the celebration of freedom, the fireworks, the parades, the rodeos, the remembrance of those who came before us- like early America's great leaders [.. I wish we still had some of those, great leaders I mean], and the brave pioneers! You know, they paved the way for everything I am grateful for. ..Like rodeos! Just kidding. Like FREEDOM [which sadly we're losing] and the Gospel!

I do truly, truly love rodeos though. We went to the Pioneer Days Rodeo on the 24th, for the millionth year in a row, and it was wonderful- like always. And guess what.. remember Isaac Johnson? Well.. A piece his dad drew of him was on the cover of every Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo agenda. You know, the pamphlet they hand you upon entering the event? Yeah, that. His dad, Steve Johnson, is an amazing artist and his work made Isaac the icon of Pioneer Days Rodeo 2010. Ha ha. Who would have thought? I'm kinda sad I didn't grab one so I could post it up here.

Yeehaw!

- Maybe You Had To Be There -

So I've been looking through Megan's blog posts from last summer trying to find a certain experience they had, one in which they went to a complete strangers wedding brunch. And although, I couldn't find it.. I did, once again, realize how ridiculous [in every way possible] last summer had been. Just read down Megan's May/June/July 2009 [she blogged better than me while we were out there] and you'll see what I mean.

Anyways, the reason I was trying to find her story of the uncomfortable get together was because I had, in my opinion, a quite similar experience on Sunday.

When I was in elementary school, we spent one summer at my great aunt's empty rock house in Huntsville, Ut. While staying there- we ran around in the fields, slept in the hay barn, went to the cabin, rode our bikes, etc.. and also became friends with the Johnson's.

The Johnson's:
Levi, 2 years older than me.
Isaac, 1 year older than me.
Annie, my age.
And Cooper, 4ish years younger than me.

Long story short, I had a rather embarrassing school girl crush on Isaac. And to this day, I remember it well enough. Which means... He probably does too. That's normal, right? Happens to every girl. Usually they lose touch, grow up and never seen each other again.

Well, Isaac got home from his mission last Tuesday. So, my dad and I went to his homecoming. It seemed like an okay idea when we were still a 45 minute drive away from the reunion but, upon arriving at his church, I did not want to go anymore. Not only is that just.. so awkward.. but, Isaac is ambitious, intimidating.. attractive, and me? What have I done with my life?.. Exactly.

We sat in the hall because there were no remaining seats in the chapel. As soon as the meeting was over, I suggested we go visit an aunt nearby and/or go up to the farm to move sprinkler pipes. So.. I was basically screaming "Let's not go to his house! Anything but that!" And where do we end up? Waiting in front of Isaac's house, before anyone else has arrived.

This happens because A) we left the meeting early, during the song instead of after the prayer, so we could 'beat the traffic', B) dad wanted to get to the Johnson's before grandma and grandpa left, since they are why our families even know each other exists, and C) because my brother, Jake, had borrowed a few horse training manuals from the Johnson's and never gave them back- therefore leaving them to us to return.

You know that feeling you get when you go to something you shouldn't have gone to because A) you were invited by someone who didn't have the right to invite you or B) you weren't invited at all? Yeaaaahh..

Keep that feeling in mind:

We walked over to the gathering of strangers, dad talked to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and we ate food [like party crashers usually do]. At some point while we were there, I was re-introduced to Isaac's little brother, currently 16, who had forgotten my name, and to Isaac. Why I asked the question "Do you remember who I am?", I'll never know. Because I just really really don't want him to remember who I am. AHH.

I should have never gone. The experience is a 10 on the scale of miserable, uncomfortable, summer experiences.

- School Girl Crush -

^------------------------------------------------------
And that's all I have to say about that.


Sushi! [Round2]
It was a lot better than it was the first time.

^They're making the same face. Ha.
^Emo AlonzoGood times were had by all.

To all my Emo friends [Tammie, Jake, and Alonzo]:

^ That car was parked in the same parking garage as us.
A great person probably owns it.

PS. My love for Google grows stronger everyday.

And it actually worked.

- Can I Please Listen To Rhinestone Eyes Over And Over? -

A) I am having a really hard time getting myself to blog.

Why?
I truly don't know.
I just need to finish the Washington posts and then it doesn't matter if I ever post again.

B) I need to say thank you to the following individuals:

-Ben Rasmussen-

Thank you, dear dance monster, for not going home all the time [like my roommates]. It's really nice to have one friend who stays in Logan over the weekend.

-Jake Metcalf-

Thank you for putting these pictures on facebook!
You're really great.

^ (: What lovely kids.

C) I realize the Festival of Colors was a little while ago but, it was a good experience with good company.. and I figured I'd probably never be accepted in society unless I posted pictures up of my first time- like everyone else in the world. So, there they are.

D) A little while after the festival we went for Sushi in Salt Lake. It was my first time trying it. Impressed isn't the word I would use to describe the experience. Maybe it'll grow on me.. or maybe it won't. Whatevs.

RAHHHH- Bye.
