Cousins came to visit!

Gam, Tucker, Jamie, and the girls all came to visit me Tuesday before I went home. It was great to see them again! I showed them around my apartment and a few places around campus. We stopped at the Creamery on Ninth for lunch. 

After the visit we all headed back to Gam's for dinner and games. It was a great way to start my Thanksgiving break!

I need my Saturdays back

If I am not working, I am doing a truck load of homework. Never fun. I've spent the last two Saturday's freezing my tail off working at the football games. I asked for today's game off a month ago and that didn't happen. Less than thrilled by this. 

Had to be there early and stay a little after the game. Not sure exactly how it finished because I don't get to watch anything, but last I heard it was 51-0 for byu. The team we played hasn't won a game all season. Feel bad for them. 

I had I work in a signature stand on the south side of the stadium. This means that the rain could reach me at times and it was one giant wind tunnel. 

I hate the stupid wind. I also hate that byu does not believe that caffeine can be a nice thing to have. It's like a prohibition for caffeine here. 

On the bright side I started my last countdown today! Mockingjay part 2 is only a year away!

Now I'm home, watching LOST, avoiding doing anything productive. 

MOCKINGJAY IS HERE AT LAST

I'm sitting in the theater now for Mockingjay!

I'll send a review when I calm down. 

Lost in the library

All I wanted to do was find a book. I looked up the title, authors, and call number for the book. Had everything I needed. It took me about 10 minutes to even find the right floor that it was on. Then there were so many shelves, rows and rows of books. It took me about 25 minutes to find what I was looking for. 

When I did find what I was looking for, I was quite pleased. I was looking for a geology book by Lehi Hintze. Turns out we are related. Finally found the book and there was something special about it. Lehi Hintze wrote in it himself!

It's kind of freaky getting lost in the library. So many places to get confused and turned around, plus you are underground. 

Mockingjay

Obviously I have my priorities straight

Mockingjay

I just bought the Mockingjay soundtrack and it's freaking amazing. I love the hunger games!!

Sorry

Okay I'm really bad at blogging. Rather than working on stories and recapping things, I'm going to start trying short posts and comments as they happen. 

Here's what's been going on:

Mockingjay comes out in a few days, I couldn't be happier. 

Malsue came for a visit and spent the night, we had a great time

We built a fort in the living room

Mockingjay is not too far away now and I've got plans to watch it for several hours. 

It started to snow and people are freaking out. Some are excited, the southerners are hating it already. When we had some snow stick, some kids built this on a bench by the library. 

My classes are going fine, but I always have a lot of homework to do. 

My job making the "Cougar Crunch" is fine but I really hate making kettle corn and I'm pretty much constantly afraid of being burned while I make it. I've already been burned many times and have some lovely scars forming. Making the caramel popcorn is fun as long as I don't drop the boiling water on myself again. I really hate burns. They are the worst kind of pain because they keep hurting. 

Mockingjay comes out in a few days I'm super excited for that. 

I signed up for classes next semester and they mostly include things that will lead me to jobs in the national parks. I am highly considering doing a summer internship in Yellowstone. The most fun part would be the training; hand tools, carpentry, trail maintenance, defensive driving, chainsaws, and BEAR training. Sounds like fantasy camp to me, and I'd be getting paid so that's even better. 

Oh hey Mockingjay comes out on Thursday and I'm super excited.
