Bird Terd.

I really don't like BIRDS.

I washed my car less than 48 hours ago, I avoid parking under trees.

And already there is birds have made my car their target.

It is looking an awful lot like the picture above.

(ok, maybe I exaggerate just a little a lot. but you get my point.)

2 years ago I was working in Salt Lake and was out to lunch. I was at a drive up window and had my car window rolled down, next thing you know brown bird poo was splattered across my windshield and then I turn and look and its on the INTERIOR of my car. I was so grossed out, I was freaking out. I was paranoid that some maybe landed on my arm. I kept inspecting it, thankfully I never found any. But it was on my door handle and a little on my steering wheel too. How disgusting is that? I am paranoid that this incident will happen again.

Needless to say the birds are on my $!@% list!

...and apparently my car is on theirs.

and I sure hope, I am NEVER in the position of this little boy.

Wow. I Just Wrote Quite the Tangent.

MIDTERM, SAY WHAAAT?
So I just found out like an hour ago I have a midterm...when?
Tomorrow?
Yeah, great.
On what?
Yoga!
I have no idea how to study for a Yoga midterm.
Is it written or is it just doing Yoga?
I have no idea.
Other than the fact it would be like impossible to test on us actually doing Yoga.
Why?
1. Only one teacher
2. What determines good? and Bad?
3. Yoga is all about listening to your own body. How will she know if we are listening?
You get the point.
If it is a test based on our ability...
I will probably fail.
Since we have "breathing exercises"...and I cannot do them.
YEah. Nicole forgets to breathe.
I also prefer to hold my breath.
If it is a written test...
I will also probably fail, since I don't know the names for anything.
Show me the position, and I will follow.
Sorry though, I still don't know what Vinyasa means.
Want to ask me what downward dog is though?
Or happy baby?
Or dolphin?
Or warrior 1?
I know those ones.
So wish me luck cuz I'm gonna need it!
Maybe I'm crazy but I thought Yoga was supposed to RELIEVE stress, not CAUSE it! Gah.
O ya, and I got a paper to write tonight. Oh joy.
I HATE English.
Good thing, once I'm done with this class, no more English for me.
I pretty much hate this week of school.
Good news though, I have an AWESOME dance teacher.
She cancelled class Friday just cuz we wanted her to.
And it gets better, our midterm was scheduled for Friday, but now we have til Monday.
Really that just means I have til Monday to forget EVERYTHING we did today.
So maybe that's not such a good thing.
But it is dance, and I love it. So I will survive.

ARIZONA IS CALLING MY NAME
.........................................................................................................................
So today my Aunt and Uncle from Phoenix welcomed a new baby girl into their family.
Her name is Mia.
And boy, she is a cutie.
I am DYING to go see her. Like I wanna jump in my car right now and drive all night long.
BUT...I can't thanks to school :(
Ok...School isn't the only thing holding me back.
There is work too.
bah....
I do want to visit Arizona though soon.
It's one of my favorite places in the world!!!
(might be only because I've never left the U.S. so I haven't seen the world. Just seen the U.S.)
So, I'm watching very closely for the first opportunity that presents itself and I will most certainly be taking off! I miss my cute little cousins A & Z and now I'm missing little M, even though we've never met! I can't wait to meet her so that is the same as missing her, right?
Oh and off course I miss Matt & Becky too!!!
I'm very envious of my Grandparents at the moment.
Why?
Because they are there! And I am not.

EVERYTHING I HATE ABOUT BEING SICK.

Ok, lets face it. There is not anything I don't HATE about being sick! Maybe when I was younger there were things to enjoy, like a day off of school, but now as an adult, there are NO perks, because regardless how crappy I feel I can't miss class! Especially since over half my classes are heavily graded on attendance alone! Dancing when you're sick is NOT fun, I dreaded going to my advanced Jazz class today, because its a challenge enough when I am healthy, but when my entire body is aching BEFORE class, I know there is a problem! Luckily class was not AS bad as I thought it might be, and I actually nailed some pretty good turns, which usually doesn't happen on sick days since being sick knocks my equilibrium totally off! I hate the feeling, so I was shocked when I was actually able to turn! I have 3 papers to write this week and I am dreading them because my body is so tired and its so hard to focus on homework when all I really want to do is curl up in a ball and go to sleep! To make matters worse, when I do go to sleep, its not very good sleep, because my head is congested and I wake up because I'm unable to breath! So NOT fun! I'm hoping this bug is gone by the weekend, but we will see!!! Oh, and the UVU Inaugural Ball is tonight! My friend Jeff was in charge of planning the dance and i'm excited to go, but would be lots happier if I felt better! He did such a good job planning the GREEN OUT dance so can't wait to see what he's done for this one!

On a happier note: Found out today that my high school drill team, is doing a come back performance of thriller and bringing back the last 3 to 4 years of drill team members! I can't wait, I have missed performing more than anything! I love it and can't wait for next Wednesday. It should be pretty fun, because it will be the ONLY time me & my little sister will dance TOGETHER. Never thought that would happen! Woot. Woot.

Me & My Best Friend Jaynee doing THRILLER my Senior Year in High School. Don't we just look fabulous???

Counting the Days

Remember this guy?

(if you don't, click here for the WHOLE story. You will probably laugh, at my expense and I'm ok with that. So enjoy!)

Well unfortunately him and I still have something in common.

Yes, still got braces on my teeth!

They were supposed to be off in August.

I am not a happy camper about this.

My orthodontist went on vacation, setting them back several weeks.

And one more hold up following that...so here it is, OCTOBER and they are still on my teeth.

Good news is before the end of the month...they will be off....FOREVER.

Can't wait.

I'm counting the days.

Braces and I are NOT friends.

October 23rd, will be a great day!

I hate school. the end.

Things to Love...Things to Hate.

I'm not sure why but my thoughts lately have been totally in categories lately. Love or Hate...nothing really inbetween so thought I'd share.

....A few of my recent thoughts...

Things I Love.

• Sleeping in my bed at home. It is so comfy...compared to my twin at my apt...not that my twin is even that bad...but I sure do love my bed at home :)

• The braces get to come off soon! Its been a LONG summer w/them on.

• Catching up with one of my besties, Rach! I've missed her lately and finally got to see her last night.

• When Tyler tells me that he wants to see me...and will be over in a few minutes.

• When Tyler shows up with treats...even ICE CREAM...FRIED ICE CREAM, yum! Also shows up with the Hannah Montana movie (yeah, I promise I'm not even making this up. He really did!)

• When I don't believe that he's just doing this stuff to be nice. I thought he was sucking up and there must be a hidden agenda...that or he secretly wants to see the movie and is using me as an excuse, but turns out I was wrong! (fyi this is very out of character of Tyler. This boy refuses most the time to even watch chick flicks...so really? Hannah Montana w/ no asking. You would question his motives too!)

• Soap...Baby Oil...Slip N Slide...at dark!

• How good I feel about my car lately...it is seriously old, but living where I am...there is like 5 cars I swear that are newer than mine, but look WAY worse. White car...with a red beat up door...white car with a teal colored door. Yeah. I'm grateful my car is all one color. Also there was this car starting this morning...that looked just fine...but the sound it made when starting was seriously wretched...and backing up, it sounded so bad I thought the entire car was going to fall into pieces. Good thing my car does not make that noise.

• Going to lunch at Olive Garden with my Mom for soup, salad, and breadsticks.

• Knowing I only have an hour & a half left at work and then it is the weekend!

• The fact that school is only a few days away, I used to HATE school but now I sure do love it! Not to say I'm not a little scared because I am. This semester is going to be crazy. I have 16 credits which is kind of a lot, but its not crazy...like the crazies who take 20...or the even craziers like my brother who get "special" approval (the max. is 20 credits) and take 21! 16 is more than enough for me. I thought 12 was kind of a lot. And that was with 3 dance classes on my plate. The other thing I'm nervous about is knowing how much time I actually spend IN class. Seems like my schedule is packed. Because I'm cursed with classes that are not worth many credits...personally I think a few of them deserve to be worth more....so my 16 credits= 7 classes. Thats too many. However, school is still on my list of LOVES!

Things I Hate.

• Spiders. Found one in my room last night...sitting in the tissue box by my bed...I threw the whole box away...sorry mom. It was a completely full box...but I wasn't risking it...as far as I'm concerned they were ALL violated & contaminated by that spider!

• When my phone dies at work. Just did this. Guess thats one of the downsides of going home and sleeping there...no phone charger since its at the apt.

• When there is no close parking spots at Olive Garden...I'm not so much annoyed that there weren't any close ones today, but the fact that NEVER is there close spots. I have more luck finding good ones at crazy places like Walmart than at Olive Garden.

• Verizon's customer service.

• Braces...stupid things make me hate smiling and also make me look like I'm what? 13? For Reals!

• When the dryer decides to stop working...ya 3 hours of drying towels and still soaking wet...wish I would have known that before throwing the HUGE love sac cover in the washing machine. bummer.

It's pretty bad when my thoughts are all blog related. I swear...everything I do now...I'm like, I could so blog about this. How pathetic am I?
