Purchases

I bought a BIKE!!! So that coming home from the grocery store won't be so painful!! Yeah, cuz walking uphill with 10 pounds of cold milk in your hand, is not a party. Especially since it's been raining.
I also bought BOOTS! Like, REAL boots, so that when walking around in the horse poop, and getting dirt kicked up all the time by my horse... it's not all getting in my tennis shoes! How fun is that? I just need some plaid and a ten gallon hat, and I'll be all set =)

Chester the Horse

By the way, my horseback riding class has started! My horse's name is Chester. He can be a butt, but haha he likes me most of the time, so it's been going well. We start barebacking like next week. Maybe I'll try to get a picture of him next class!
loves!

College A Goin

Well, I have like 5 weeks, and 4 days until I am done with the semester, and then I'll get to go to Kathy's house, and then to lovely home. This week is the last week of RAD for the semester. I'm signed up for the Keychain course that'll start in July, so good times there, but it's only a 4 hour course, spread out over two days. I'm going to go visit Chloe in Utah in a couple weeks, so that's pretty exciting. Hopefully this upcoming weekend I'm having a sleepover party with the girls upstairs. But you never know with college girls. Tests or just all sorts of random things can pop up.

I currently, according to midterm grades have 2 C's 2 B's and 2 A's. But, one of those C's is most certainly a mistake, and should be a B, and I think I'll be able to bring it up to an A by the end of the semester. The other C will hooopefully come up to a B. I can pretty certainly bring up one of my B's, and hopefully the other one... depends on how my test on friday went!!! =) And my two A's are Basketball and Weight Lifting so.. haha. But all in all, I think it will be a very good semester. I'd be super satisfied if I got all A's and B's.

My friend Gesselle's brother, is in my foreign government class. He's pretty cute, but I dunno if anything will happen for how far it could even go if it did. But it's nice to have something to think about! =)

I've written both Michael and Jarom on their missions. Seems funny to think the boys from the ward--from my generation that is--are off on their missions. But it seems very right. Jarom hasn't written me back yet. But it's only been like two weeks, and since he's in Taiwan, he might not have even received it yet!! Michael's stuck in the MTC a little longer, because they don't have his VISA yet, or something. They're sending him off to a random stateside mission next week until his VISA comes. Weird huh? But pretty cool. Anyhow, I got things to do!! Talk to you later!

Aw Love!!

Lindy and Stuart just dropped by!! They were running and apparently decided to make a stop and see me! Lindy more than Stuart, I'm sure, haha, but I feel loved! I love random drop by's!! Just as much as I love randomly walking in to people's houses and saying hello, and letting them know I love them! It's the little things that let people know you care!

This Weekend

GOOD FREAKING GRIEF!!!
This weekend is so CRAZY! It's like everyone wants to just all of a sudden be social!! I haven't had like any social outings, or interactions in WEEKS, and now, all of a sudden it's like exploding.. which is really depressing, because obviously I can't go to all of these activities!! Not really depressing, cuz I'm not depressed haha, but sad! Or something! But not if it's a sign that maybe from now on social interactions will spread out and be a regular, and often occurrence, than that'll be lovely! haha.

So here's the story. I've recently made buddies with the people that live right above me, and while I was at their house the other day, they came up with the idea to have a big group date this weekend! And then, Lindy invited me to go home with her to Boise. And there's this little factor of my roommate's getting married this weekend. And then, my friend Andrew, from my Foreign Government class (he was also in my BOM class last semester), invited me to go with him to Yellowstone. Which, I've never gone, so that's obviously a very tempting offer! And then today, my buddies from upstairs asked if I wanted to go see Hannah Montana with them on Saturday. And then I got a text, from my roommates from last semester, saying they wanted to come raid my pool this weekend and go swimming!! Is that not a super crazy weekend?

Note to friends.. you should coordinate your socialness so that it's more spread out! haha.

So what I'm actually doing this weekend.. is going to Yellowstone, coming back, going swimming, and hopefully getting some other socializing in too! In the meantime, I have a big test I need to study for.. and I have a group meeting tomorrow that I need to also prepare for.. !! AAHH! Crazy I know. Plus my regular homework for tomorrow's classes, let's not forget.
muah!

RS CampOut

By the way, my Relief Society campout was amazing! The most beautiful place I've ever seen! And beautiful, lovely girls as well of course!! Several new friends!! I'm feelin the love! Hehe! ^_^

Activities

This semester is going to be amazing. I'm making sure of it. You can look at my calendar at the bottom of my blog for proof! I'm keepin myself busy like every week! And my ward is pretty cool this semester! We're having a Relief Society sleepover! And a WARD Campout!! wooohoo! Haven't done something like that since I was way little. Haven't gone camping in general in like for-ever-ever-ever..!! And I'm going backpacking one weekend, and there's stargazing like every Friday night that I think I'm gunna join in on every now and then too! I won't be traveling so much this semester, but I am planning on seeing my old childhood friend, Chloe sometime this or next month. And of course I hang out with Lindy whenever possible, and on occasion my roommates from last semester, and even this semester's roommates sometimes as well!!

Of course, my time will also be spent doing the mundane things.. my back has been killing my lately, so I now have an Idaho Chiropractor lol.. and I got a regular doctor as well, and after this week I'll have an endocrinologist as well, because it looks like my Graves Disease has come out of remission, which means I need meds, or some other such treatment, be it radiation or what have you... but I find the latter hopefully unlikely! And don't forget homework..!

But the point is.. I'm getting out of my house! I'm having fun! I'm doing exciting things! And some of my classes are fun too! Like weight lifting, and basketball, and I'm super excited for my Horseback riding class to start!

That's emily! Livin the life ;)

Cooking Time!!

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!!
