journal entry #58

October 29, 2009

So much has happened, I don't even know where to begin! I guess I'll just start from the beginning. Logical - huh:) School's going okay...I don't ever do homework...which isn't good. But I'm starting afresh with everything. Studying, exercising, everything. I work at Shopko but I won't for long. They won't give me any time off for christmas and Target promised me $1800 just for working 3 weeks. So I'll be quiting Shopko before finals, I think...

People are amazing. Can I just say that?! Everyone up here is so great! There's 3 of us that hang out all the time together. Jennifer (Fern, Jeffiner), Jenna and me. We have so much fun together! (The following sentance was scratched out rather vicously yet I've managed to read what it says) I think I'm in love. No! I'm not! I really shouldn't be writing this. His name is Ben. (End of scratched out writing) There is also a lot of fun boys up here. The one we hang out with the most is Benjamin. He's a fun kid.

I should probly give a spill on each of these people.

Jennifer- She's pretty much my best friend. She's super fun and we fight like sisters. You'll be hearing much more about her I'm sure since we spend pretty much every minute together.

Jenna is definitely the more studious of the three of us. She's the RS President so thus very organized and congenial. She's a cutie. (Whoa! Did I really just say that?) College has made me such a girly girl. She's a cool dude. There we go, that's better.

As for me, everyone up here calls me Klepto. Oh! That leads to a good story! So Ben works at Shopko too right?! Well one day he got a car from his ...wait for it...sister-in-laws brother...yeah, I think that's right. Well I hadn't driven since moving up here so I asked him if I could drive home from work. He said yes. So we drove around... and around some more because he needed gas and some snacks for his long trek 2 hours north to see his fam. At smiths he bought Sunchips. Why do I mention Sunchips you ask? Well I will tell you...later. Just remember that he got Sunchips, they play an important role later in the story...

We went home and up to the 5th [floor] and talked for a while with Jennifer, Caitlin and Heather. Then went to me room (ok-now I'm Irish, that was weird) and he borrowed some cd's to keep him awake. Well during this time, we had been eating my Doritoes and I wanted some of his Sunchips. (Da da da) So Ben gave me his keys to get some chips while he grabbed his stuff from his apartment. Me and Fern decided it would be fun to take the car for a little spin. Nothing too crazy mind you! Just maybe park it in another stall to freak Ben out. But then Caitlin and Heather called us and wanted in on the joke.

So we drove out of the parking lot and this leads to that and 4 girls in a car eating sunchips leads to chaos, speeding and not stopping at stop signs. Policeman saw it. Pulled me over. Jokes on me. Bummer.

journal entry #56

*Go back in time to when I first moved up to Utah State. The following excerpt is my first day living in Logan as a college student!*

August 22, 2006

Well it's the end of the day that I've been dreading since the beginning of the summer. And believe it or not, I survived! I didn't die! My roommate is SO nice! She's extremely sweet and helpful. She kinda reminds me of Megan Sahleen and Kristin Nielson. And Martha gave me the Batman pillow from Target I've been drooling over all summer. She left this note attached to him, "Here's someone to cuddle with...OR when you get mad...PUMMEL! Have fun! I love you! -Martha" I'm a lucky girl, so many people care about me!

Terri and Dad bought me my first set of groceries too! Terri put some funny sticky tags on almost everything. My personal favorite was: (it was attached to a package of knee-hi's) "Remember, it takes more than tights and a cape to be a superman!"

I was strong the entire day! No tears escaped at all. But really, my family is so good to me. I'm going to raise a family just like mine. I've just decided that. Even Shelley Nowers called to wish me good luck. I love people!

My room is all set up and I absolutely love it! I love the desk with all the drawers and all the shelf space. But class starts tomorrow bright and early so I better get some sleep.
