Schoolio Coolio

So the typical Monday starts off good! Monday's are late starts so I get to sleep in a bit... yeah. Instead of school starting at 7:30 school starts at 8:00! WOOOOO! My school, is pretty cool. It's not really the trendiest, newest school in the world, but I like it!
All of the outside doors don't open all the way, so it's a bit of a surprise when you try to fling them open.
There's a rumored "freshman bump" somewhere in the halls (a bump in the carpet that tends to trip freshmen up since they've never been inside the school and are not familiar with the interior design) but I've never found it.
The commons are the place to be during the passing period. Unfortunately, it makes it difficult to get from one half of the school to the next, elbowing, and pushing people in your way and no one can hear your "Excuse me"s.
There's an elevator in my school! Since there are stairs, it makes it inconvenient for anyone with a wheelchair or crutches so if you talk to the office you can get a key to the elevator and take it up or down! I've actually been on it, because on the first day of school this girl who's kind of my friend I guess had a broken leg so she was like "Let's go try the elevator!" so we did. It was a thrill.
Then there's this hallway behind the locker rooms, skinniest hallway ever built in the world. It's like a slot canyon, no joke. It's also not very well lit, so it reminds me of a dark alleyway where druggies and murderers congregate, but it's usually couple back there snuggling after school. Awkward when you need to get through since the hallway is pretty much only wide enough for one person.
The new gym we have, nicknamed "The Thunderdome" is pretty great. Large, full of bleachers and an indoor track. Good stuff. But it's really separated from the rest of the school, unless you have a class in the Industrial hall, then you'd pass by it every other day.
Our school has three main parts. Upper classrooms, lower classrooms, and Industrial hall classrooms. That is why on your schedule you will find either an U, L or I next to your classroom number. No one ever told me what those letters stood for, so I was dearly confused. Example: U-26. Ha. That means you would climb up the stairs and find room 26. Understand? That's ok. You may never step inside my school if you are a stranger reading this.
Football field: astro turf. Also used for soccer. Fake grass infused with the stuff they put over tracks? Yeah. It's funky.
Some of the desks in our school are a bit old, so they're really small and squish only your right arm. I'm guessing they were made for right-handed people. Bleck.
There's a little courtyard, called the atrium but we aren't allowed in there. Who knows why? But there's like table and chairs in there and it looks really pretty.

I LOVE CHURCH! with all my heart and more.

Walking home from school today, I realized my life is great. I decided to blog about it.
First of all, I LOVE CHURCH. With ALLLL my heart and more! Sacrament Meeting is never dull with a 3-year-old little brother, and hearing ward business is so much fun for me to hear. Hymns are fun to sing (and try to harmonize to). And my family usually sits two benches behind the deacons so I love to watch the Priests bless the sacrament and then watch all the deacons disperse and pass the sacrament. They're all so small. It's a bit funny. Our speakers are almost always great and fun to listen to... and I love fast and testimony meetings (they seem to make the time go faster). After saying good bye to my family I go find all the youth in the hallway in front of the downstairs. Every week we all stand out there and talk until one of our leaders (or teachers) tell us to get to class for Sunday School. Sunday School is never boring. I swear I've been in about 5 different classes, but I love them all! I wish we could just have one big Sunday School class. I write down the funny things people say in class, and we have so much fun reading them later. After Sunday School everyone goes upstairs and visits some more, and then I go to Young Women's! Our Young Women's group is really close. Even when I was a Beehive I felt close to the Mia Maids and Laurels; they were such a good example for me! Now I 'm a Mia Maid and I still feel close to the Laurels. I don't feel as close to the Beehives as I should be, which is why this year at Girl's Camp I have to reach out! So opening exercises usually last anywhere from 5-30 minutes. Usually on the longer side. I play the piano sometimes (with many mistakes) and after a hymn, a prayer, the theme, the personal progress and a billion announcements we split up for classes. Currently in the Mia Maids we have 4 Mia Maids (3 + me! = 4) and by the end of this year we'll only have two. It's ok. I'll survive. I've been there before when I was a Beehive. Then after a lesson we usually review what's going on for mutual the upcoming week and are released! I have to then find my family and walk home.

Ain't that the Truth.

Thank you friends even though you may never see this.

You  make my life so much better!

Last One (Three)

It's too funny

Primary child: We believe in being honest, true, chased by an elephant…


Child singing: We all have work, come on you jerk! Put your shoulder to the wheel!


Little boy while passing a cemetery: Hey. Look, mom! It’s a seminary, it’s where people go to die!

Humor [LDS Version]

So I found this site... funnymormons.com Some of the stuff on there is pretty funny... other times I don't even blink. But then there was a reference to overheardintheward.com SO funny. Here are some of the best  (IMO)


Primary teacher: Run to the throne, not the phone. What does this quote mean?
Child: Run to the bathroom?


Bishop: Our sacrament hymn was chosen by Sister Jones, but she isn’t here today and we don’t know that song, so we’re going to sing something else.


Primary teacher: Where do we learn about Jesus?
5-year-old boy: Nevada!
Primary teacher: Okay, where else do we learn about Jesus?
5-year-old boy: American Fork!


Beehive: It’s weird because in Utah everyone is Mormon, but here, everyone is lesbian.
Beehive’s sister: LUTHERAN! Not lesbian! You’ve got to stop mixing those two up!
(That one makes me laugh really hard)


Son: Hey, Mom, can we have some of those, what are they called? Mexican waffles? later?
Mom: You mean English muffins?
Son: Oh yeah, those.


Elders quorum president: When you visit those you home teach you want to recognize their spiritual pulse. Do you know what I mean by spiritual pulse? … Wow, I just saw five of you check your pulse.


18-year-old YW on Mother’s Day: Well… I’m kind of not so excited to be in Relief Society. It’s not that I don’t like you as people. Each of them are really cool and they are great individuals but all together as a whole, well, you’re scary. Really.


Congregation: [Raises hands]
13-year-old girl: Yay! It’s anonymous!
Mom: Honey, it’s unanimous.


Mother explaining Easter and resurrection to a 4-year-old: So even though He was dead, and His body was buried, He came alive again!
4-year-old: So then He was a zombie?


RS Teacher: Today we are going to talk about President Uchtdorf’s most recent conference talk. I love President Uchtdorf because he is just so easy to listen to.
RS Sister mumbling: He’s pretty easy to look at too.


Grandmother speaking in church: Is my talk that bad Drew? He’s my grandson and is starting to fall asleep.


YW President: Have you all ever felt a burning in your bosom as it said in the scripture?
Young women: [chuckles]
YW President: Do you know what a bosom is?
Young women: Your butt?


Sunbeam teacher: Who knows what the three wise men brought baby Jesus?
3-year-old sunbeam: Oh I know! Gold, Frankenstein, and Smurfs!


5-year-old singing Home On The Range: Where Zelda is heard a discouraging word


Primary teacher: Do you happen to have a glove?
Primary president: Yes, actually I do. Are you impressed? How many people do you know that have a glove in May?!
Teacher: when I was primary president, I always carried a glove. Ha.


17-year-old YM: Will you go get 5 sets of The Bible? We need them for class.
16-year-old YM: The Bilbe? We don’t beleve in the Bible.
17-year-old YM: Umm… Yeah we do…
16-year-old YM: we do?


Substitute primary teacher: Can anyone tell me who gets the Priesthood in our church?
CTR 6 girl: The dudes.


Bishop: So I can never remember the names of all these different styles kids have now a days—so I make myself little reminders. Like when I see an emo kid I say, “I just found an emo!” You know like nemo, without the n!


Sunbeam teacher: So Avery, what would you like to be when you grow up?
Avery: A squeedo.
Sunbeam teacher: Like a mo-squito?
Avery: Yeah, a squeedo.


Primary teacher: Does Jesus really live again?
Child #1: No.
Child #2 lightly smacking his friends arm: Ah, he was resurrected dude!

I don't even know what to title this!

This week/next week/month/next month/year/life is going to be a good one!! So church today. Gotta love it. Our ward really is the best. You don't have any idea. So Sunday School... even though I got kinda kicked out of my class, but I'm gonna try to sneak back in. That's right, I'm a rebel. And Wednesday is HUMAN FOOSBALL for mutual. SO PSYCHED!!! It's gonna be great.

Tuesday

 On Tuesday February 7, 2012 I did not have the greatest day. Monday had been awesome, so I had assumed that Tuesday was going to be awesome too! It wasn't. School was bleck. Walking home was bleck. So I got home and took my shoes off and said to myself "There has to be something today that went well" So I was looking around and my socks stood out to me. They had owls on them! It made my day. And I was wearing my favorite colors. That was a good day.

For the Love.

I thoroughly enjoy swimming, running, reading, singing, soccer and basketball. Sometimes I like to talk in a British accent (like now) and you can often find me frolicking about the neighborhood with the lovely friends I have! I attend high school, and wish it could be summer all year long, because summer means night games. Usually, I dress in jeans and a t-shirt, though skirts and dresses are exquisite.  I've decided I like you! P.S. Don't worry, be happy! And don't punch people.

So I changed my little bio thing today... this ^ is the old one. In case I ever am feeling nostalgic. Baha.

THE SONG.

This song has been stuck in my head constantly for the past 2 weeks or so... it's a sign!

Oh My Dear.

So today I went down for Sunday School and I got kicked out! Because I'm not 15 yet. But the class I "used" to be in was for 14 turning 15 and 15 turning 16. Don't get me wrong, I love both classes, but my teacher was the greatest. Now I have the same teacher as last year which is fine, but I would like a change. I swear, I should be turning 16. Most of my friends are 16 or older, since I'm friends with a lot of juniors, and yeah. I don't really know what else to say, but I should be 14 going on 16.

Cinderella

Right now, the life style of Cinderella sounds pretty good.
All I do (it feels like) is go to school, and then come home and get on pinterest. I hate it. I feel soooo toastin' lazy. Even though Cinderella has too much to do, I think that'd be nice for a while. To have the ability to clean the WHOLE house? That is power. It's like a super power! On the other hand, I want to go swim, and play soccer, and just run around! Did you know ice cream sales are higher in winter than in the summer? It's because of seasonal depression.

Or maybe I could be Tiana. Work two jobs, turn into a frog, meet my future husband in the process, and then get my own restaurant! Shazam. I wouldn't mind that.
Ok, back to Cinderella the scene when the stepmother and stepsisters are ringing the bells nonstop and Cinderella's trying to get the breakfast ready, and Gusgus is under one of the cups? Lucifer is SO funny in that scene. I just happened to be watching that at this very moment!

That's when my life begins. . .

Hello Summer. You are my life.

I used to think people were stupid when they'd say "Summer is the best" because I never ever used to look forward to summer. All I did was sit around and watch TV until this last summer.

This last summer I realized how great my ward is (ha. night games ALL THE WAY man!), and I started Scera summer swim team and all this other great stuff! I LOVE SUMMER.

Also, it's a season when my house isn't constantly cold!

Oh that was a good week. Especially Wednesday which was the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. I went to school, which was pretty good! Then I was on pinterest, but it was being slow so I got on facebook and Destinee invited me to go to the temple with her and Hannah! So we went. I LOVE THE TEMPLE. And I hadn't been there since August! Can you believe that? 5 toastin' months. We made a plan to go at least once a month. Hopefully more. Then mutual was fine, we did the online Personal Progress. Which reminded me I REEEEALLLY need to work on that. I've missed it. So then me, Jacob, Hannah, and Tressie went to Tressie's new house and had sooo much fun. She has a pool, and it was frozen so we ice skated with it until our feet froze, and we played bananagrams. 'Twas fun. But I stayed up till about 11:30 (which is late for me... probably not you.) so I set my alarm later for the next day later but I got up at the same time anyway! It made me happy. Thursday was pretty good too. After school me, Kari, Hannah, Tressie and Christel went to Farr's. So much fun! We got our picture taken. Then churchball... I got my first foul ever. BZZT! Enough about me though! Go do something else. I'm into finding YouTube singers right now...

Par Exemple:

K well actually I kinda know the first and last one... but still. I love them :)
