My Grandma

My grandma Owens(my mom's mom) passed away this morning at the age of 95. That's a long life to lead and she was very loved. Her husband passed away 20 years ago and he loved her so very much I have heard. He passed away a month before I was born. She is finally with him again and I know she is so unbelievably happy now. Weren't my grandma and grandpa so beautiful and handsome?


This weekend myself and the rest of my family are flying to Utah for her funeral. It's interesting how sad occasions can bring family together. My nephew Elijah whom I have not met yet, will be getting blessed on Sunday, the day before my Grandma's funeral. Because of her funeral, we will all be able to be there for his blessing. We are respecting the passing of a life and celebrating the beginning of a new one. I don't think there is anything more fitting than that.

Who will drive my soul?

Today has been a pretty lazy Saturday overall. I did do some cleaning, homework, and studying preparation(flashcards), but this is really the only day I can afford to be lazy for the rest of the semester. I have an Italian quiz on Wednesday and then I don't have any quizzes or tests until finals! Eeeeeeeeek!
I made my schedule and registered for classes yesterday. I'm taking 18 hours which is kind of a lot for me, but I need to start taking heavier loads so I can finish school as soon as possible. Thankfully though I only have classes on tues,wed and thurs. So I'll have a 4 day break to work, do homework, chill out or whatever. Hopefully I will be able to find a job...
Anywho, tomorrow I must study, study, study. I have much to memorize for Italian. I guess this is all for now..Bye!

LIGHTS: Drive My Soul is currently on my playlist. It's a lovely song.

TGIAF(Thank goodness it's almost Friday)

Ahhhh my week of tests is over. Hoooooorayyyy! I feel like celebrating..by sleeping for 12 hours. I have one more class tomorrow and then the weekend is here. I have a few homework things to do and then I am seriously turning in.
I do have an Italian quiz on Monday but at least I have the whole weekend to study for it. And by that I mean I probably will put off the studying until Sunday night. But that's just me. Oooohkay bye!

Good day.

Today has been a good day for the following reasons:
1.In Italian we watched a movie.
2.I got a 100 on my philosophy quiz by pure luck.
3.I got my philosophy essay back and I got a 95.
4.I spent 4 hours straight in the library studying for government and didn't lose my steam.
5.I owned my government exam.
6.I got home and had a nice little package from my mom.
7.Beautiful Wisteria is growing on our trees outside.

There's only one bad thing about today.
1.Cockroaches. My roommate found one in her dresser drawer...we're clean people! I promise!

Hello my name is Procrastinate

Ohhhhhhhhh eeeeeemmmmm geeeeeeeeeeeee. I will do absolutely anything to avoid studying and that includes even doing homework! Seriously I've been doing school related things all day but not studying. I think it's honestly because I thrive on chaos. When things are too organized I start to feel a little uncomfortable(probably because it is a rare thing). But when I'm disorganized I feel out of control. So here I sit with a clean room, a perfectly filled out study guide, an outfit picked out for tomorrow, and I am...blogging for the second time today. I'm thinking I might have to go and get a red bull. Yesssss I've already had one today okay!
I think I'll talk about things I'd rather be doing than studying(or putting off studying).
1.Sleeping
2.Reading celeb gossip
3.Watching a t.v. series that i've seen a million times already
4.Eating a bowl of melon
5.Painting my toenails
6.Watching youtube videos of people falling down
7.Watching youtube videos of kittens and slow lorises
8.Baking cupcakes and putting marshmallow peeps on top of them
9.Registering for classes(which I can't do until Friday..Buh)
10.Inventing a remote control similar to the one in the not so critically acclaimed movie "Click".
But alas, these things will have to wait. I'll get around to them at some point. Good bye!

It's Just Another Manic Monday

I know I know, my title is completely cliche but it is also very true. Okaaaay so I made it through Italian and got my homeworks turned in. Today we learned the different regions and capitals of Italy which we were told is going to be yet another thing on the quiz on Friday. Mamma Mia!
Now I am laying in bed and fighting to stay awake. I am well aware that it would be easier to stay awake if I sat upright in a chair or something but I can't help the love of bed. I seriously do most things from my bed. Homework, talking on the phone, planning, watching T.V., eating sometimes(i've had to cut back on that one because crumbs in bed suck), and studying. The exception is if I reallllly need to get something done promptly and then I work at my desk. Oh yes and I blog from my bed obviously!
I'm currently waiting for UPS to deliver the Easter basket from my mom. They came Friday but I missed them and had to wait alllll weekend. They said they would be here before 11 and now I feel like I can't take a little nap for fear of missing them. Bleh. Also, chocolate and red bull is a terrible combination. Just thought I'd put that out there.
I'm thinking that I may nap with my door open so that if UPS knocks on the front door I might be able to hear them. But that's always awkward because you can clearly see directly to my bed from the kitchen and my roommates will be like..."oh..."
Now that I have rambled. I think I will have to settle for relaxing for a bit and then studying my life away and hopefully the UPS man will pop in at some point during these things. Sigh. Bye!

Easter Bunny and Bowie

I'm sitting here munching on a mini bag of popcorn that I very nearly burned. But it made it through the incubation process, luckily. It's been one of those days that feels remarkably like two days in one. This feeling more than often occurs when I do an extraordinary amount of homework. This has included an Italian composition, Italian workbook pages and about 5 hours of completing my government study guide.

I guess it hasn't really felt much like Easter. Oh yeah, today is Easter. I remember as a small child, the magic that surrounded this holiday. The mysterious giant rabbit that would bring me treats for no apparent reason other than the fact that it was expected. It's funny how the superficial and materialistic aspect of the holiday so often overshadows the spiritual and most important meaning behind it. The day of the resurrection of Christ. Christ and bunnies. Where did that combination come from? Who knows. Today was general conference continued. It was great. That's exactly what I needed to reaffirm the reason behind this holiday. I'm so grateful for the Gospel.

So, I have three tests this week. In other words, hello red bull(I am fully aware that it's terrible for me). I've completed my government study guide which ended up being 16 written pages. SIXTEEN. I wanted to emphasize my point there but obviously you can't capitalize numbers. If only...
So my government exam is on Tuesday, my Philosophy test is on Thursday, and my Italian quiz is on Friday. At least there isn't more than one on a given day. There's the silver lining I suppose.

I can't believe that school will be done in just over a month. And then Italy in 2 months tomorrow. My oh my. I realized today that my previous posts have been a little cheesy.. I'm only like that about 5% of the time in real life. Time to get reaaaaaal.

I'm currently listening to some led zeppelin, stooges and david bowie. What I wouldn't give to live in the 70's for the music alone. Today is just not the same. My current favorite Bowie song is Lady Grinning Soul, which is actually rather bizarre..but then again, it's Bowie. Bizarre and Bowie go together like Christ and the Easter Bunny(Ok that was a bad joke). I really do love Jesus. Man, remember the Labyrinth? I actually had a huge secret crush on Bowie that I was embarrassed to admit because he looked a little female and his crotch was on full display. He's got that appeal though. I dunno. Hmmm. Alright, off to the bunker...okay my bed...but bunker makes it sound cooler.
