Post-Workout-post

Do you see this banana?  This is the worst banana I have ever eaten.  I wanted fruit after my workout and was overjoyed to discover we had bananas and I grabbed this one.  I ate most of it but I was in horror the while time because it was nasty.  I miss yummy bananas...

Ugh

Elliptical won out. But only because I'm pretty sure my body forgot track season and what exercise felt like and it was bored and now I feel like I'm gonna die after 2.18 miles on the elliptical and then jogging back home up 4 flights of stairs.  What the crap body?  Why would you do this to yourself??

Decisions, Decisions

I have all my homework done for the night, I kind of want to go elliptical at the fitness center, but my awesome cousin Courtney took me with her to Barnes and Noble today where I found a relatively cheap copy of 22 of The Sherlock Holmes Mysteries......  And I really wanna read it.....  But I need to work out.....  ugh......  What to do!!!

Adventures in Laundry

So the laundry room is right next to the mail....  Hall? Alcove? Niche? I'm not sure, but it's not a mail room.  But it's lovely decor :)  and the laundry room is the house elf quarters, and there's a cool app that doesn't quite work like I wanted it to, but it's still handy.  You can pay for laundry, see what machines are available, and it will also tell you when your laundry is done.  Which is awesome. Especially for the person who always forget about her laundry :)

Yesterday and Today

Yesterday used my crockpot for the first time.  We called it "Bowtie Alfredo" and it was delightful.  And today that is my first day of college selfie at the train station :)

My Elevator Has A Name

My Apologies

I promise I really didn't mean to let it go for so long since I last blogged.  I've been kind of busy socializing with roommates and neighborhood socials.  I've actually met people!!  I still don't know anyone really well, but I know some people!  And the single's ward down here is great!  Lots of cuties, even if the ward boundaries are a little strange.  Like there's one building where just one floor is in our ward and my whole building is in the same ward.  Weird, right?
So, I know I promised pictures.  Here you go!

I was trying so hard to not bust up laughing in front of a lot of people when I saw this on campus Thursday

These are on all the benches by the baseball field.  I sat down in one and was not hit :)  then again, there wasn't a game going on, but with my luck that's probably when I would get hit in the head, at the least likely time.

My building is full of Gryffindor stuff :)  I will get more pics, but this is just some of the cool decor.

On the Train!

Well, Day 2 has been good, albeit lonely.  Roomie Michelle was gone at work all day and she's staying with a friend tonight.  Which, actually, is what I'm doing tonight as well!  My U of U bestie, Sarah, suggested  a spur of the moment sleep over in SLC......  Which is why i'm on the train :)  Thank goodness for free Wi-Fi!!
So today, I had an interview on campus for a custodial job.  As I am without car (and I was without bus pass) I walked roughly 30 minutes there, got lost on which room said interview was in, got my UVUID (as an Aviation student, I get a really cool one that is different from the normal ID card) and my bus pass, and after walking up and down 4 different flights of stairs, I finally found it and proceeded to have this 5-minute interview.   How on earth do people have 5-minute interviews???  Like, it was nice, quick, and to the point, but really!!  I walked half an hour in pretty warm weather in shoes that had, like, no support whatsoever...  It was a little bit disappointing.  But I hope I get the job, because it's closer and pays better than the job I have now, and with the job I have now, I still haven't heard any transfer details.  Which is lame.    The train is nice though.  Quiet, big windows, its pretty great.  The automated voice is a little creepy though.  I could do without.
So I do have a few pictures from my escapades today, but I'll either post them later or tomorrow....  Mostly because I don't feel like it now ;)  And the phone blogger app is tricky.

Day One

Yesterday was moving day.  And it was insane to say the least.  I woke up that morning about quarter to 8 to hug the brothers, and finished de-Miranda-ing my room.  We got all the boxes loaded into the car and headed off.

After we reached Orem, we had lunch at P.F. Chang's, which is delicious, you should all go.   

Only after this was when the craziness started.  I went to go check-in and pay rent and all that, I was given the keys to the "lovely" B318 and the absolutely adorable RA Shantelle led the way.

 We got to the room and...  I don't wanna say that I just knew something was off, but something was off.  We found my bedroom anyway and proceeded to unload the car into this itty bitty bedroom.  We had just unloaded the last bit of stuff, when Shantelle showed up again with another roommate.  She seemed nice, but then the roommate Ashlynn pops out of her room and says, "I don't know if they told you, but I have a cat."

Oh. No.  I don't do cats, I'm allergic, and frankly, I just don't like them.  Of course, I told Shantelle that and she led us back down to the leasing office to get me into a new, cat-less, room.  After forever, we were led to this one room in the Harry Potter decorated building, but the roommate there had pushed the beds together, so obviously, I couldn't room there.  Quickly, we were led back to the office where we probably spent 3 hours just waiting......

Eventually, they did find me a room, with a nice roommate, Michelle.  She's pretty friendly and very chill.  So far, I like her, she's cool :)  We moved everything that we had unmoved from B318 into G418.

 After a little bit of new apartment food shopping, Mom and Dad left.  But my first night here wasn't so bad.  I couldn't fall asleep (or stay asleep) for the life of me.  So here it is, 7:06 am, and I've probably been awake for a couple of hours now.  Which isn't great, but it's not horrible either.  Wish me luck on day 2!!

It's Monday

And as we all know, Mondays are lame so here is some RDJ to brighten your day.

Are you happy now mother?

I keep getting bugged about how I don't ever post pictures....  So here you go world (mom)! 

4 days more!

Apparently, It's been awhile since I've posted.  I'm sure you are all wondering what's what as I only have 4 more days left in the northern part of Utah.  Well, I finally have roommates.  I've only been able to get in contact with one of them, and she seems nice enough.  My fingers are crossed that the others will be awesome!
The past few days have been filled with packing, ignoring how much packing I need to do, and buying many things for me to pack and take to college.  It's been fun (not!)  I'm not sure that anyone could really say that Wal-Mart is fun.....  Because it isn't, and there are always strange people there (Sometimes I am the strange person who ends up shopping there late, but whatever.  No one cares at Wally World).

And I guess that's it for now, stay tuned, however.  Because I will try to update more often.  And thank you mother for reminding me that it had been a week since I last posted.

Who reads this blog anyway?  I'm curious.

T-Minus....

14 Days!!!!  This is insane!!!  How has this summer gone by so fast?  Wasn't it just barely June?  Didn't I just graduate high school?  And now I'm moving in 2 weeks???   Wow!!!!!!!   

Still no news of the roommates.  Sometime this week I should be getting the e-mail that will tell me everything I need to know about who they are and which apartment I will call home for the next few years.  I am excited, don't get me wrong, but of course I'm nervous.  New people, new place, new life, it's getting pretty insane!!!
