Financial statement ratios and such

For all of you who have seen me change my major a billion times I would just like to inform you that one of my favorite classes right now is financial management :) I really actually kind of love it! I get excited to do the homework, and I think that what I am learning is wonderful! So useful, and interesting and awesome. We will see how I feel after the first exam, hahaha, but I just feel good about the major that I have finally chosen. If you happen to remember, pray for me that I will get into the business program - I'm turning in my application this week!

Another Art Project

So I went on a date last weekend to Color Me Mine where I painted this vase. I tried really hard and it turned out really well! I sketched the design on the vase freehand in pencil first and then just painted over what I had drawn. And I was way excited that I got to pick whichever type of pottery I wanted from the selection of plates, mugs, toothbrush holders etc. Considering the sad, plain state of our apartment decor, hopefully this will make me and my roommates seem more domestic by adding flowers and putting the vase on the kitchen table or something. And because I'm such a mooch, all I need now I is someone dashing to supply the flowers :)

Firesides, love, and rocks

I have heard the most amazing church talks recently. I had the privilege of attending the CES Fireside where the Prophet spoke on Sunday. I had the most amazing view of the back of his head :) It was fabulous! I loved being there. Watch it instead of read it if you have the option - Elder Holland spoke so powerfully, it made the hair stand up on my head.


On a different note, one of my best friends, adopted sister, and roommate got engaged last night! I am so happy for her! And I got to be part of the very elaborate proposal for part of it. It was awesome, and Devin's planning was impeccable. He is going to treat Ashley really well, and that makes me so happy! He also did a very good job on the ring. See her blog for more details about the proposal story, but I thought I would post some pictures of when they came home after the deed was done :) It was a girl squealing frenzy :) I love my roommates!!

Snow, Losing, and Classes

It has been snowing for two days straight! But I am covered because I have my very convenient rain boots. So I trudge through even the deepest snow banks and puddles of wetness with no fear. I even try to purposefully widen the paths on the sidewalks by walking where the snow is so deep for poor souls such as the girl I saw walking to campus today wearing flats and no socks. It was tragic!
I lost my wallet over Christmas break, but my dad found it today! Too bad that I just canceled my debit and credit cards today as well. Life goes on.
I have some excellent classes this semester that I am excited about. I am taking a singing class, in which the teacher is crazy in love with singing and is hilarious so I totally lucked out. I am also in modern architecture, Doctrine and Covenants with the famous Bro. Bott, and three business classes. Oh, and don't forget my online philosophy class! 19 credits in total. Plus work. Wish me luck because this might be the semester that kills me :)

Merry Christmas!

I am in St. George, three days in to my blissful Christmas break. I forgot my camera, although my lovely roomie Audrey is going to bring it to me, but until then, I can't post any pictures.... sorry y'all!
But there is snow on the ground in St. George which hasn't happened in ages! Its very exciting, but a little crusty and thin :) I love St. George!
I have done a lot of baking since I have been home; I have personally made at least 8 dozen cookies. We are done baking all the sugar cookies and are going to start the frosting process tomorrow.
To combat the fat that is trying to stick itself to my body, I worked out extra hard to day. . . and had to go to the chiropractor as a result. Yeah, he wants to see me back on Wedensday. I have no idea how I did this.
I am going to bed early tonight because I am getting up at 7:30 a.m. to get my hair colored. That is earlier than I have gotten up in like two weeks! The lengths girls go to for their hair! I mean to think that two sane women are waking up at that hour to smell chemicals and read gossip magazines for two hours is a little crazy. But that's what we do. I want these ugly britney spears wannabe roots gone before all the pictures are taken for Christmas! Seriously. I know my appointment is soon, but I still don't know what to do with my hair. To some people, this is a big decision. To others, they don't think about it because they do the same thing every single time. To me, I show up, tell Tami what is bothering me about my hair, and say "surprise me". I am leaning toward brown. Or red. Or anything that is less like my current straw yellow blonde.
Pictures to be posted later on with the results.
Peace out :D

Back in business baby!

I got my computer back on Monday of this week! I am very happy; I will no longer have to endure withdrawls. I got Microsoft Office from a friend and installed it last night, and downloaded skype firefox, and converters etc. so I am back in business baby! Woohoo!
The computer wizards on campus couldn't get anything off my hard drive, so all of the pictures that I've ever taken, and all the music I previously had on my computer is gone for sure. They gave me my old, broken hard drive back though, in this little plastic baggie, which was pretty funny because (a.) I don't want a souvenir because I am trying to forget this ever happened, and (b.) what am I supposed to do with it? Maybe I can be creative and use it in my next art project. I will let you all know.
But there are two morals to this story: (1) Buy an external hard drive and put everything important on it as a back up. Don't let this happen to you! (2) Send me any pictures that you have of me so that the past three years of my life don't fall into an undocumented black-hole. I need proof that I have been doing something with my life besides studying and working!
