Seriously

Dear guy in my english class,

If you are indeed a guy and not a little boy, why did you wear your 12-year-old brother's pants to class today? Was it dark when you got dressed? Did your mom mix up your laundry? Or did you get lost in the kids section of the department store? When I look up from my book expecting to see the teacher and instead, get a full front seat view of your backside covered only by thin material (briefs? boxers?) as you get up and walk away, I wish I had my little brother's airsoft gun to teach you a lesson. As I watch your futile attempts to pull up your non-pants, I notice you have a belt also. Did you miss the lesson in kindergarten where they taught everyone that belts are supposed to go around your waste, not your upper thighs? To my surprise, you're able to pull your pants up a full two inches...and then you take a couple steps and they fall four. Oooh, come on. Didn't need to see that. At least your underwear is baby blue. Do us all a favor and wear PANTS to class next time. We analyze literature, not anatomy.

Thanks,
Rose

I know I should protect the world from myself when

I hear hysterical laughter and realize it's my own.

I get up every five minutes to look for...wait, what...?

Someone says my name and a low grumbling growl escapes my mouth.

I wish I went to BYU so I could be done with school by now.

I wonder what it'd be like to live in a van and drive from city to city, singing the Beatles and not washing my hair.

I start quoting the quirky sayings of my professors, i.e. "Good on ya!"

I wonder why I'm depriving the world of my innate jump roping talents.

I think it's Wednesday all day and then I find out it's Thursday (good thing).

I can't remember what I was saying to Caroline 60 seconds ago...neither can she.

I am as tall as Andrei Kirilenko's legs.

The computer screen starts changing colors.

I don't think anything is funny anymore.

This isn't funny anymore.

I really love it when...

all the toilet paper is gone and you have to yell for five minutes for someone to bring it to you cause you can't get up.

you plan to spend just five minutes wasting time and it turns into two hours.

there is an essay to write and you were going to be finished by ten o'clock...it's ten o'clock and you're just starting your essay.

you have so much free time to get homework done and yet, you get nothing done.

time has been going by so fast and there are two weeks until school is done and it's taking forEVER.

the only text message you get all day is from your father saying "DINNER." love him.

your alarm clock goes off at 6:45am...you get up, go to the bathroom, feel awake...get back into bed anyway, sleep for another hour and a half...really time to get up, do not feel awake at all.

you think of something important to say and then immediately forget it.

words come out of your mouth that have nothing to do with the conversation you're having or any conversations you've had in the last 24 hours.

you wear flip flops to class and when you come out it's snowing.

your parents are right.

I'm going to write my essay now.

Conference Weekend

We went skiing between conference sessions and this is what we were skiing in. AMAZING!

Read, Read, Read

Books everyone should read...

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle...Night...The Agony and the Ecstasy...The Queen's Confession...Gone with the Wind...Dracula...Trouble in Mind...Ender's Game...The Glass Castle...A Tree Grows in Brooklyn...East of Eden...My Name is Asher Lev...Kite Runner...The Woman in White...Harry Potter...Lord of the Rings...Nancy Drew...When Broken Glass Floats...Black Boy...The Color of Water...and many more...

A couple of Holly's favourites:

Lover Avenged
Now, as the vampire warriors defend their race against their slayers, one male's loyalty to the Brotherhood will be tested—and his dangerous mixed blood revealed .


Until There was You
All he was looking for was some peace and quiet. Instead, what ex-FBI agent Luke Grayson finds in the secluded cabin in the woods is a gorgeous, smoky-eyed woman…who just happens to be pointing a gun in his direction.


Anyway...choose a book, read it, and tell someone about it:)

Midweek Ski Day!

Thanks to Rose's brilliant idea, we went skiing today after classes for a break from school. It was a beautiful day with blue skies and perfect for pictures. I finally remembered to bring a camera, but after we got there, I found out that there was no battery left. Of course. So we used my phone to take a pic. We figured one was better than none :)

Pray for snow!!!
