Hallelujah!

I just got an offer for an internship with Goldman Sachs! I am so excited!!! The position I would be hired for is "Summer Analyst" for their 10-week program in their SLC division. Its pretty much perfect, and it pays really well :)

It came at such an amazing time too! I was seriously so upset about my after-graduation prospects a mere fifteen minutes before they called. I was like discouraged to the point of tears and walking home in the rain/snow without a coat (I felt like Eeyore with this little rain cloud following me), I got home and prayed and read my scriptures just to let it go, and then they called!

Today is a wonderful day!

Yoga

I have been introduced to another wonderful technological marvel: free power yoga podcasts on iTunes! They are these amazing 20 min sessions that come with a slide show so you have a visual of the pose, and plus it's power yoga, so it really works. I feel like it is similar to gymnastics without as much flowing movement, fear, or pounding on my joints, and I really like it! So far it has made my butt sore and my entire legs ache a lot. We'll see if I get any other results that are cooler...

Lights out

So I was really tired the other day while on campus, so in between classes I went up to the 6th floor of the Tanner where all the faculty offices are, and laid on this little couch, put my coat over my head, and went to sleep. I woke up awhile later and it was dark. I realized that someone had turned the lights out above me. For some reason to me, this little thing seemed like such a nice gesture! Someone had seen me, probably some professor, and instead of thinking "she should go to bed earlier" or "crazy students" or something like that (which are things I sometimes think about myself and others), they wanted to help and so turned out the lights to make my nap more restful. Thank you random stranger, I actually really appreciated that.

Three things I love

Today as I was showering I was listening to a playlist made by iTunes Genius on my Apple computer, and it was so much fun! Seriously, try listening to "Under the Sea" from the Little Mermaid without having a blast! Other awesome artists/songs that came up included Zac Efron, the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Zip-a-dee Doo-dah Day, etc. It was pretty much amazing!

The point of all this is that sometimes I feel like Google, Apple, and Disney are taking over the world, and I am totally okay with that!! Goggle texts me to remind me of things on my calendar, and allows me to collaborate with group members from school in real-time in Word, Excel and Powerpoint for free, and Apple provides me with my computer, my iPod, iTunes and its Genius, and dreams of owning an iPhone someday. Disney provides me good, clean, fun, albeit cheesy, entertainment which is something pretty much no one else does.

All I am saying is that my life is completely permeated, but made better-off, by these three companies and I think its great. Live on guys, live on.

Also, I just made chicken pillows for myself without a recipe and they still turned out pretty well! YUM!

Plan B

We'll start with Plan A: Get married in the temple. Have a brood of children that run around and drive me crazy, but provide endless entertainment. Sounds lovely.

But my roommate Dani and I have separately and together come up with...

PLAN B: if either/both of us get divorced, or our husbands die before us, or we somehow (despite our obvious hotness) never get married, we are prepared. And we both think that Plan B sounds almost as fun as Plan A. I am actually quite excited! Here it is


YEAH BABY! We are going to be biker chicks! Also, I am going to collect cars and work on them. Do I know how to do that? No! I'll worry about that later.

Reasons that this plan is AWESOME:
1. We like leather, and plan on looking hot in it. We promise to keep the embroidered flames to a minimum. Maybe not though, it depends on how old we are when all this happens.
2. There is something about the lingo you suddenly have license to use as a biker chick, such as "hog", and mild profanities that can be screamed into the roaring wind.
3. The ratio of men to women in this lifestyle and subsequent social circles. Its significantly in our favor. And I think it is perfectly ethical to have 20 boyfriends at a time. Especially ones with good retirement plans. (Dani: "Use and abuse baby!")
4. The open road calls to us. See picture above.
5. Bikes inspire imagery of warm weather. We will travel in a pattern that follows the seasons so that we will perpetually be in Spring.
6. Biker chicks are classy and also way more fun than normal people.

I am so excited!

Pictures

Optimus prime anyone?
Best d-day cake ever made! By these super-cool boys no less!




I just got my hands on the little flash drive that allows me to get pictures from my camera to my computer. So here are pictures that I have been meaning to put up for awhile. The pictures are totally out of order, but oh well.

This is from Dani's SUPER AWESOME black-light dance party that we had at our house. It was amazing - we moved all the furniture out of the living room and replaced every single light in our apartment with a black light. Tons of people came, most of whom were men, which was awesome, and we danced the night away, and wrote on each other with highlighters. So much fun!

This is a picture of the copious amounts of shampoo and conditioner that Audrey and I have in our shower. Its just us who use this shower, and somehow we have gotten carried away... I have a theory about girls - if there is an empty space somewhere, we will usually buy something to fill it. That is why I plan on having a small house when I grow up - otherwise I will go broke.

These are the matching lamb slippers that me and Dani and Audrey got around Christmas time. Dani won a pair at Hannah's bridal shower and then got Audrey and I some to match! So cute :) And that is the little chick that we got at the white elephant Christmas party that chirps when you place it on your hand. Surprisingly, that has been a pretty amusing gift.

Audrey and I went to a BYU v. SUU gymnastics meet awhile ago, and BYU totally won. I love gymnastics!! Its the greatest sport ever.


Dani and I made another fire in my metal trash can. We are seriously pyros. We will probably have another. But next time we should probably do it outside and not in the hallway.... I think we might have inhaled a lot of smoke. We certainly smelled very strongly like campfire by the end of it... :) It was so much fun!!

Its a boy!

I will have a nephew this summer! I am super super super excited, and am going to be the best aunt ever, I am determined! To learn more about this blessed event and its creators, and to see pictures of little Merlin in his safe and comfy womb, please visit: http://www.albafamily.blogspot.com/
