Well I'm all stocked up with Flour, and Rice, and Sugar, and chocolate chips and baking pans, and spatulas and forks and plates and knives and dish towels and just... everything!!! I could go on and on forever! But I'm an independent person with food stocked to boot. And of course, before you ask.. I also have a three day supply kit, so even if we had no power or water for 3 days.. I'd survive! And probably for longer than that with the stuff that's not technically in my 3 day supply. I have all the ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies, and homemade bread, and rice pudding.. and just whatever man! What more do you need?! I even have an apron! haha. Yaya! I'm all set up for gaining my domesticated skills that are so necessary for my future!
I've still only met one roommate, but I asked her what the dorm kitchen policies are, and basically if it's got your name on it, people won't eat it, but other than that we can use stuff like flour and pans, etc. Sounds like a plan eh!? I'm excited. But I'm a little nervous too! Cooking at home just seems different than cooking at my own home. Maybe I'm just silly.

@ Kathy's House
Well I've spent the last week with Kathy and her kids in Utah. It's been a wonderful break from school, and I've been able to get constructive thigns done at the same time! Haha. Kathy took it upon herself to make sure that I have learned how to cook the basics such as home made bread and pancakes so that I'll survive the coming months at a cooking apartment ;D And I've also been able to go shopping for the basic kitchen needs such as forks spoons, knives, and spatulas and other such things that will fit in my carry on suitcase on my ride back to Rexburg. But speaking of which, I should go take my clothes out of the dryer so that I can pack them back up, for I am returning to Rexburg tomorrow, and the young son of my sister Kathy, would like a turn on the computer! I'll get back to you later!

Finals Week
Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!! School is out on Thursday. Which means I have like 4 hours worth of paper writing, and math homework and science to do tonight.. and an equal load of the same tomorrow to do as well. Ammon D. is taking me to my storage unit on Thursday right after my English class.. so I also have to finish packing by Thursday morning before I go to my classes. To add to all of that, I also have to squeeze in time to meet with my groups for various group projects, and to go to the testing center to take tests!!! And don't forget studying for those tests! What to doo!? Oh and don't forget I have to clean the dorm thursday, before I leave.
Crazy sttuffff! On Friday everyone will leave, and I'm still here all day! So I think I'm gunna go walk around Rexburg for the day.. maybe buy my tennis shoes for my Basketball class.. that kind of thing. Can't buy too much of course, because I will have already made my trip to my storage unit! And then I leave for Kathy's house early Saturday morning, where I will stay until the 17th, at which time I'll come back to Rexburg to move in to my new housing!! Meet the new roommates and all that!
Lindy Lee surprised me with the knowledge that she will also be here in the spring semester.. and so she also arrives on Friday! I dunno if we'll hang out at all on the 17th or anything cuz we'll both be busy moving in, but maybe in the night time! Cuz you know Lindy and I, when we're together we like to do things late at night that are exciting! haha. And then I have no plans until Monday when I start classes!!
Right now I'm signed up for Church History, World Civilizations, Weight Training, Beginner's Basketball, History/Philosophy of Education, Foreign Government, and Basic Horse Riding! Woohhooo!! Amazing I know.
Anyway, I gotta go to a group meeting right now, so I'll ttyl!!

Nearing the End of Dorm Life
Well I know I haven't written much this semester about my life at college! But I'll get better again. I've got 11 days left in the semester! WHOOO!! I'm real excited. Dorm life has not been the best experience it could be I'm pretty sure.. Two of my roommates drive me crazy with their moody angry-ness and drama! Grow up, dump the guy, and get on with life! Am I right? Yes! Thanks.
Over the break between semesters I plan on staying at my sister Kathy's house. So that should be exciting. Maybe I'll even sneak in some of my laundry so that I don't have to pay for a couple batches! What a thought!
I am somewhat lamenting leaving the dorms however. I've really hit it off with one of my roommates (who's also from Texas), and she's staying on campus, and I'm going off campus. So, we're sad we won't be roommates again, but too bad. We'll keep in touch, invade eachother's homes haha. Maybe we'll room together next winter. That'd be fun.
Not sure if I mentioned this yet in a previous post or not.. but my boyfriend Michael is going on the 27th of May to the MTC so he can start preparing for his mission to Australia! He's super excited. We're both sad to leave eachother's company of course, but we are both excited for the opportunities we'll have to grow while we're apart. I'm not officially waiting for my missionary or anything, no worries. I'll be dating. But we'll see what happens! ^_^
I won't be coming home until like the last week of July. But I look forward to seeing you all! But I am very much enjoying life up here. As my mother once said.. It's good for me to be around so many conservatives! I'm loving it. I'm absorbing as much of the traditions and not quite Mormon culture.. but what SHOULD be! I'm doing my best to learn all that I can outside and inside of class!
We cleaned out our dorms today as though we were moving out.. which means SUPER DUPER cleaning known as the "White Glove Check". In the process we of course got stressed, had fun, and had LOTS OF TRASH! haha. Hope you enjoy. Love you all!

PLASMA
I'm going to start donating plasma twice a week if I can.. and it's going to be exciting!! You get like 20$ the first time you go every week, and if you go a second time in the week, you get 30$.. which means 50$ a week if you go twice a week. If i do that every semester that I'm at Idaho.. even taking some out for personal spending.. that would help alot to pay for things, like housing! That's like 600$ a semester. It's like a lame job! lol
That's my latest plan of action! I'm hoping to go tomorrow for the first time. Eek! haha. Michael and I will hopefully be able to sign up for a good time slot today (for tomorrow). Shouldn't have put it off, i know.. but whatevs.
I'm told it hurts like crazy. Buuuttt... we'll find out!! haha
loves!

RAD
So I signed up for a RAD (Rape Aggression Defense) course at BYUI! It only cost me 10$ and it's twice a week for 2 hours.. from Today until the 26th of February. And, at the end of the course, my instructor will sign this book that they gave us, which works as a pass basically for any RAD course ANYWHERE, ANYTIME! So I can just walk in to any RAD course in the future if I bring my book, and I won't have to pay for the course. So I can go every semester and keep it in my system and get all practiced and honed at the amazing skills I'm to learn. (And I never have to pay again)
Pretty cool, I know. And I like the instructors so far.. so I think it'll be fun.

English
I'm making a 91.1333333 in my English class right now. haha. yaya! And after today it should be about a 92 I think cuz I did some extra credit. I'm excited. Some of my grades are a full twenty points above the average of the class.. which means.. someone's not doing very well! Ouch!! But I expect my grade to only go up from here!

Snow Balls
Oh!! By the way! I found out that technically it's not illegal to have a snowball fight so long as all those involved willingly entered into it. It got up to 35 degrees today tho, so the snow was melting. Everything's gonna be rock hard ice by the morning. No snow ball fights until it snows again real good!!
Next Weekend
Well, not too much is going on in my life right now.. but right now it looks like Ammon, Michael and I will be driving down to Provo this upcoming Valentines weekend, and we're gunna hang with the gang! That being primarily Dallan, Paula, and Devin of course. It's a three day weekend, so we're gunna leave Friday afternoon sometime is my guess, and then come back Monday afternoon sometime. It should be fun! I'm excited.
Things have calmed down with the roommates.. no drama currently! haha. My classes are going well. Last I knew I had a 95 in my math class. I'm supposed to get some important grades from my English class on Tuesday. Hopefully that'll bring forth Good News! I'm currently making a 100 in my Book of Mormon class, haha. Good times. But I'm getting another grade for that class some time this week, so who knows!
Miss Lindy got a job as a fashion consultant in Wyoming! So I wont be using any more weekends to hitch rides to go see her most likely. Hopefully we'll find out what her plans are for the summer semester soon! I need to be looking into my housing for next semester here real soon!
Michael and I have decided to meet for breakfast once a week. Just squeezin in little spots of time together kind of thing. Besides, it's good for me, gettin up earlier.. right? lol. Michael's expecting his mission call soon! Exciting stuff, man! He's uber uber uber excited, lemme tell ya. It's real cute.
Let's see.. Michael and I might go donate plasma together in a couple weeks! Just for the fun of it. And I thought up an amazing date idea.. inspired from a girl in my relief society. We're gunna go to this local pizza buffet.. and see how long we can stay and eat there before they ask us to leave. haha. Don't worry I'm bringing my laptop for something to do.. since they have free wifi up there. Maybe we should bring homework or something too! or a book to read or something.
Anyhow, that's life I guess. Not a whole lot goes on up here. Hope all is well. lots of loves!
