The Great BYU Campus...Oh How Wonderful It Is!!

Right at this very moment me and good ol' Krisit Jackson are sitting outside on the grass on the GREAT BYU CAMPUS!! We weren't in a very studious mood so after our physical science class that we just had together we decided to plop ourselves outside on the grass and chill. We have two classes together, so maybe we'll get some studying done together out here. I'm really excited right now because I totally get internet connection. It's awesome!! We are sitting right next to the SWKT (Spencer W. Kimbell Tower)! That's probably why I'm getting such good connection. So I'll just take this time to show you guys a little bit of the scenery. It's really pretty up here right now and it feels so nice! "All you need is a light jacket!" (Name that movie!) So from these pictures you can see all the pretty leaves!! I love the leaves! One day on the way home from choir me and Sam (my room mate) and Becky Barney (friend from back home) saw a bunch of leaves and we spontaneously had a leaf war! It was really fun! I wish I could post those pictures, but they are only taken from my phone. Well anyways, enjoy these pictures! And to all those who are BYU alumni, I hope these pictures bring back happy memories!!! So long!

Krisit's sleeping

She's Awake!!! Yay!


THE LEAVES!!!!!

The Great BYU Campus

Ten Bucks to anyone that can guess this building!!

This girl's not dead, I promise...she's just sleeping!

Three Cheers for Mary!!!

This picture explains my mood today! I feel just dandy! Happy as a school girl! Let me tell you why...my 2nd surgery that I've been dreading all week is over! Yay! I was so nervous when I went to the doctor today because I actually knew what was coming this time! But I did fantastic! It was great! I didn't even cry! I was biting my finger extra hard though which did help with taking the pain away from my toe. So I'm just happy that's over. The doctors said they don't know what's wrong with my toe though because it's not healing like they thought it would. They said that what they originally thought the infection was from was not it anymore, so they don't know now. Ah! Scary! They gave me some more antibiotics though so hopefully it will be okay. I don't want to get my toe chopped off. That would be an unpleasant experience. Anyways, all is well in this area for right now. Hopefully this is the last I have to blog about my toe.

I'm Lizzy!

Thanks to Whitney, I now know which Jane Austen heroine I am! I'm Elizabeth Bennett!! Suzanne was Lizzy too! This is what it said..."You are Elizabeth Bennet of Pride & Prejudice! You are intelligent, witty, and tremendously attractive. You have a good head on your shoulders, and oftentimes find yourself the lone beacon of reason in a sea of silliness. You take great pleasure in many things. You are proficient in nearly all of them, though you will never own it. Lest you seem too perfect, you have a tendency toward prejudgement that serves you very ill indeed."

A Few of the FHE Buds

So tonight for FHE, we realized we didn't have anything planned, so what we did is those who wanted to (which was probably about only 1/4 of our group...haha actually it was me, Suzanne, Sam, and two of our brothers) came over to our place while we tried brainstorming ideas of what to do. This didn't work out so well so we just took out my computer and started taking pictures. That's how we spent our FHE tonight. It was a wonderful idea on my part...actually thanks to the blog because I probalby wouldn't have thought to take pictures if I didn't have the blog on my mind! It was fun!

Update On The Toe

On Wednesday I went back to the doctor to get my toe checked up on. This wasn't a very pleasant experience either!! Geez, I'm never going to want to go back to the doctors after this is done. So I sat down and the conversation started out the same as it did last time...he asked me if I was alergic to any anesthetics and I told him no again. I wondered what he was asking me this for because I already had my surgery! The nurse then handed me the same clipboard and paper and told me to sign it to give the doctor permission to take out a little sliver of my toe nail. I then began to think that they were mistaken and they had thought that they had never done the surgery on me, so I said "Oh you already did that last week". The nurse then informed me that they had to do it again to kill the roots!!! I immediately began freaking out because I didn't want the doctor to stick me with the needle again because IT HURTS, but the doctor then took off my bandaid and took one look at my toe and said my toe had a "hot infection" still and that I needed to come back next week for the surgery. Ahhhh!! Scary! I don't want to go back! Oh well, it will get me out of my comfort zone (which is something that we've been learning a lot about in choir...we are required to do something every few weeks that will get us out of our comfort zone and then to write about it). The doctor wrapped my toe up in a big wad of gauze and then gave me some stuff to soak my toe in to help the infection go down. He told me to soak the whole toe even with the gauze on it and especially at night...so that's what my pictures are of. I have to wear a bag over my foot at night so I don't get my bed all wet from the wet gauze. haha! We joke around about it here.

Late Night Cravings

So tonight me and Suzanne had a little craving...baked beans!! Ahhhh yaaaaah! This is another example of one of our random adventures that we have had here that we just laugh our heads off about. We just had a craving for baked beans at 10:30 tonight, so we went to the Creamery and got some...that's all I have to say really, but it was funny...we thought so anyways...haha! Especially since that was all we went in to the Creamery for...a can of beans...and then we left! The kid that works there is getting to know me and Suzanne really well now since we come in for little things like this all the time now. Well anyways, we got home cooked them and found out they didn't satisfy our cravings as much as we thought they would...they weren't very good. To make me feel better though Suzanne told me she's going to make me some of her "Papa's beans" (as she calls them) some time. It's her Grandpa's secret recipe! Woo hoo!

OUR BEEEEANS...before the test taste...Look how excited we are!!! (Not for long)

mmmmmm...these beans are uhhhh...really uhhhh...good...

She means business!

Sleepy Suzie????

So this is a great story! Haha! Maybe not so great actually...I think it's one of those "you have to have been there" times...but it was sooooo funny! So on Saturday night me and Sam went to our FHE brothers' dorm to watch "Clue" and Suzanne stayed home to do some homework. When we got home we came across Suzanne like this! It was hilarious!! Maybe we are just sleep deprived up here but me and Sam found this really really funny! We especially liked her apparel...the socks...the robe...the pants! Such a great combination! I would have posted these earlier but it took me a while to convince Suzanne to let me post them. So we took pictures while she was sleeping and while we were doing it Suzanne kinda woke up and started talking mean to us in her sleep...it was really funny because she didn't know what she was saying and we knew she didn't. Poor Suzanne's kind of had a rough sleeping experience here. Haha! She seems to fall asleep every where! It's quite funny acutally! We can always count on her falling asleep in Music class (which is a funny sight since I sit next to her everyday and look over at her with her head back and her mouth open!). Also another funny experience...so she comes home everyday and takes a nap and on Monday she fell asleep on the couch and like 3 people came to the door all at different times and she answered it all three times but she said she can hardly remember doing it!! She said that all she remembers is people laughing at her! It was funny! We laugh about this stuff all the time!
