Something cool I found:

I randomly ran acrossed this really cool song on youtube that I've always liked but have never had. It was the last song that they sang at Pres. Hinkley's funeral over a year ago, and of course the part that we were all crying at. But the website address is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM0YaQEvrRM, and so you can all find it now too.

Roommates!!

These are just some pictures from the other day when Allison decided that we needed to take funny roommate pictures.

in the picture of us all falling backwards there is from left to right, April, Becca, me, Holly and Allison. And then in the jumping picture it is Holly, Allison and you all should recognize the other jumping person. It was great fun though taking these pictures considering it was 1 a.m. and three of us had 7:30 a.m. classes.

Record Player!!

I don't know if any of you remember the old time record players. But when I was about five my parents had one, and well yeah it died after my siblings and I played around with it.

Anyways, a couple of my roommates decided to buy records at D.I. to decorate our apartment with, such as wall decorations. So just last weekend my roommate Becca got back from being at home for President's Day weekend. And her parents had one of those record players and lent it to her. So we listened to all of our wall hangs/records on her record player. I must say it was really wierd to listen to music from the records, just because it was old time music. And we're all used to the fast upbeat music of the day...!

Also, it was kind of funny last night at like mid night my roommates Becca and Allison decided that they were going to go to Wendy's. So I ended up going with them and it ended up that very few places were opened at that time of night. It was quite fun though, and I must say without Becca and Allison around life would be dull. They are both freshmen and so that's probably why they're still entertaining compared to us seniors who are all into graduating and doing homework all the time.

Freaky...!

So the other day one of my teachers told our class that due to the dying economy they just lost quite a bit of $ from the crashing stock market. How lovely right? So I dont' know much about the stock market, except that it goes up and down alot. But I don't know how likely I'll do something like putting money in the stock market in my life time. IRA's are probably much more safer...but it really freaky to actually know of someone whose lost $ to the bad economy. Because it's most definately quite easy to be in college and be just fine and not having to worry about the economy. So that has made it so that I'm kind of oblivious to it all...until now!

The fire has been forced to return!

So I have this fine class called Psychological Statistics that is just one of those classes that you should not take if you don't have to. Unless your like my summer Elder's Quorum president and your majoring in Statistics...then you can take a class like that. But otherwise it's not allowed unless you absolutely have too. So anyways, it's become insanely hard...not that it wasn't insanely hard previously. But it's getting worse...so anyways I am now doing absolutely everything in relation to this class in a study group. Because basically everyone else is agreeing that they absolutely must be in this study group...so anyways I have to be all studious now and study a ton for this class. (about two more months) So if on tuesday night of finals week you just happen to call me and I don't answer just assumed that I was killed by Psychological Statisitics...just kidding. But it most definately is the hardest class of my life...agreed? Does anyone agree? Actually you aren't because I just banned you all from taking the class...so consider yourself lucky...hehe!!

What is this world coming to...?

So at work yesterday I was supposed to be doing homework with this little first grader and this little boy started and after a little while he just suddenly absolutely refused to finish his homework. It was so wierd, but I kept insisting that he do it...well that didn't work. So after homework time one of the other girls asked what had happened since he didn't finish his homework, and so I told her. And basically she was like "we have to make sure he does it because he will not do it at home." Of course I knew the answer to this, but I was thinking "and why won't he do it at home...come on where on earth are this kids parents at?" But of course I already knew the answer, alot of these kids parents are off working and don't seem to care that their kids aren't doing their homework. But it is most definately a hard job having to force kids to do their homework, especially when they're in first grade...just think 11 more years of homework and there won't always be a after school teacher around to force them to do their homework.

The fire is gone!!

So I have officially decided that it is about time I graduate and end the days of homework. Because normally after a few weeks into the semester I get into the homework and class rountine, but this semester I just seem to not be able to concentrate on homework. It's really wierd, but offically a sign of burn outage. So I have made this weekend the official stats weekend, because I'm really behind in stats 2800 and we have another test next week. Which means that it will be great fun reading about stats all weekend...but that is the hardest class at the moment so I can't just let the fire be totally out just yet.

Leading you all astray!

Actually it's not the teenagers that I haven't really liked about teaching these classes, because these teenagers are actually really good for being teenagers. Especially the two older ones, they kind of whisper to each other but for the most part they seem to listen and they're really cool. It's more the topic that I haven't really liked, for example last week we had to fill out these work sheets on change and everone including my co-teaching partner talked about when their parents got divorced and basically that all came about because the classes are on step families. So then there was me who was the only one who didn't talk about that on the work sheet, and so it's just difficult because I don't really relate to any of them at all. While on the other hand my co-teaching partner relates to them alot since she her parents were divorced also. I'm not saying that I'd want to be in a divorced/step family, but it is hard when everyone including the other teacher can all relate. And I don't relate at all, except that I get along with the 10 year olds since they seem to think that I'm funny or something...I guess!
