As it were

Started school this week and it was a bit strange getting used to new teachers and new ideas. I had to switch my brain from Geology to Biology and I think I will be OK with that. I have been thinking of taking some extra classes in Geo just because I love it so much, it speaks to me. NO I don't want to be a Geologist..stop asking. I am super excited about my Bio class because the teacher is a nerd! She is goofy and tells bad jokes but she is passionate about Bio, and fish. I need that in a teacher!
I have a health class that I am looking forward to, even though the professor is super strange and I got a weird vibe as he walked me out to the parking lot (really unbelievably awkward, in fact most ever in my life, I wanted to die). My Ethics class was really boring, mostly because he talked of philosophy the whole time, but I am excited about the social bits we will be learning. I will give the guy one more chance then I am switching, maybe to an English class. Excited for classes not excited to pay for them, in fact I am looking forward to filling out a FAFSA next Summer.

I have seen Avatar twice this week. I love this movie, I am a huge fan of fantasy and I have been craving a good fantasy movie, this definitely satiated that need. If you haven't seen this movie yet see it in 3D! I usually hate the glasses and they give me a headache but I was so distracted by the movie I was able to forget about the dumb eyewear.

A friend recently expressed some real fears he has, and I couldn't help but think of some of my own:

Having someone close to me die.

My pet dying

Finding out I am actually mentally ill in some way.

Lost in a strange place, (this almost happened in NYC at the train station I could have peed my pants)

Getting  fatter (I mean really) overweight and dying, it must be a girl thing, I know it sounds vain but it's a real fear.

Spiders! All kinds! And they all deserve to die... only if they are in the house. I usually don't kill them if they are outside in the garden.

Seeing apparitions, I can handle hearing stuff just not seeing it! 

Police officers-I know weird. Amy has teased me about this since we were in High School.

Popping balloons-Awful sound!

Vomit- this is serious! I get all shaky and run away but only when its adult surprise vomit. If I pump myself up I can go to my happy place and help clean up, I usually forget the experience shortly after.

I know... LAME

It's Friday night and I'm bored can you tell?

I did something I have always wanted to do today. I got home from the movies and the Carr's invited me to a meeting at the library to honor Cindy Richards ( a politician ) I agreed mostly because I didn't want to be alone anymore and tagged along. I was terribly bored and during the mingling I wandered off as usual. There was a wedding reception next door and I have always wanted to "crash" a reception so I did.

The first thing I did was talk to some people, and look at the pictures... basically play along. Luckily I wore a dress today and swiped my shoes for heels before I left otherwise I wouldn't have gone. Anyway I thought the whole thing was quite ordinary for a reception. A really long line for the bride and groom, and a ton of people in Sunday dress. Just like every other reception in Utah that I have been to, but there was a fiery thrill that came along with it. I was some place familiar and fit in, but I didn't belong there. Maybe it was because I was being dishonest, and making people believe I did or maybe I was just bored. I won't do it again, sometimes I do these things to prove to myself that I can or test my endurance. How long could I stay without getting anxious and uncomfortable? I only stayed a few minutes I couldn't handle the dishonesty. They did have a really cute idea for food though, little shot glasses full of different kinds of soup. I grabbed a couple and shared with Papa Carr who gave me his "disappointed face" when he found out where they were from. I love him!
