Fridge Art

So I just did a paper that is due tomorrow in an hour. Yeah.

Also, I wanted to tell you about the watercolor painting I did. So my friend Bri paints and I wanted to be creative and make beauty with my bare hands, so I was all, "Bri, help me make art." And she drew a flower for me (I can't draw to save a cat from a burning building) and then I painted it with her watercolors. And it's nothing special (besides it being a forget-me-not, quite possibly my favorite flower), but I still hung it up on the cork board in my room. The thing is, I realized today that it was indeed nothing special and by any standard, well below average. And I still hung it up. So the big revelation was that I'm kind of like a mom... hanging up artwork on the fridge...

And I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Lalalalalalala

So tonight was my first ever Institute Choir devotional and I can't even express how awesome it was. Not to toot my own horn, but we sang so beautifully. My favorite song was definitely The Prayer. We also got to sing a brand-spanking new hymn (as in we were the first group ever on the planet to officially sing it) called An Angel With the Trump of God. Oh, yeah.

So you know how I've been sick? Well, it's the painful coughing sore throat kind of sick (like it hurt to sing in sacrament meeting, which is lame) and I was really nervous about being all croaky at the performance. But guess what! The only time my throat felt meh was when Latter-Day Voices sang! I was totally able to sing my little heart out and it was wonderful. I love singing. :)

Plus, my roomie is back! It was such a great night!

Gar-bear to His Friends

So today I'm doing laundry with Bri and guess who walks in! Gary (Gar-bear to his friends)! And who did he have with him, you ask? His wife! That's right! Gar-bear is a married man! (Sorry, ladies.)

Anyway, it was great to catch up and reminisce about the good old days.

Acceptance is the First Step to Recovery

I'm addicted to blogging.

Also, on a totally unrelated topic, I miss CC.

Do You Want to Hear About My Day?

You do? Well okay here goes...

So I wake up at 9 and I'm still feeling sick! So I basically do nothing all morning (even though I should be doing homework) and await the moment when my friends (Alex, Bri, Cara, and Hailey) get back from shopping and give me my much anticipated cough drops and chicken noodle soup. (I'm fast forwarding because the waiting part is rather dull.) I then got ready to go to the LDS temple here in town - my first trip to this temple and also my first time going to the temple in college. We (Austin, Cara, James, Natasha, and my new friend Kenya - really awesome name, right?!) jump in the car, wait until it cools down, and then head off to the temple only to find out that it was closed today because of the RS Broadcast. Which was really saddening because, like I said earlier, it would have been my first trip to this temple and also my first trip since coming to college. We ended up just walking around the temple and I took some cool pictures, so it was still pretty great. And then we came back and I did some homework for Creative Arts. And then I went to the church to watch the RS Broadcast (which was fantastic) and eat walking tacos (which was delicious). And then Bailey (for a little while), Bri, Cara, Emilee, Hailey, Natasha, and I watched The Emperor's New Groove and Mulan (in fact if you want to hear the rant Bri and I went on check out her blog). And now I'm going to have a sleepover in Bri's room with her and Natasha. :)

So basically I'm sitting here, blogging, after a fairly good day and a fairly wonderful night and I'm super tired, by the way, so if this is complete gibberish it's not my fault...

And I totally lost my train of thought after that... Oh, well. Good night/good morning everybody!

*Cough*

I'm sick. :(

I was going to make this a real blog post, but I realized while typing "I'm sick. :(" that I don't have the energy or the motivation for that...

I Have Three Things On My Mind

1) So I can't decide if I like the background of my blog. I picked it because it reminds me of Christmas and I LOVE CHRISTMAS. The problem is I don't really like the pattern on it... What do you think?

2) I went to The Artist's Block (a cafe place in the Performing Arts building) and bought three muffins and half of a brownie. I ALSO LOVE MUFFINS!

3) And finally, I'm sitting here, on Alex's bed, just trying to watch the Parenthood premiere and it won't load! I hate the wifi in the towers! Plus my computer sucks.

4) I forgot I had another thing to say! My roommate recently left to go home for the weekend (it's her baby cousin's birthday) and I miss her already! Our room is going to be so dull without her. :/

And now I'm done. Have a great day!

Update: Life Isn't Fair

Remember when I said I love The Hunts? So my friend Bri just told me that her friend in the striped shirt saw The Hunts live today! She even got a picture with them. :(

Be Naive

I've recently discovered my favorite thing on this planet and it's called PoBev (Poetry and a Beverage). Basically you listen to poetry - especially of the spoken word variety (side note, I LOVE spoken word poetry) and music variety (people played the guitar, keyboard, and harmonica and sang) - while you drink a beverage. It was so much fun.

Via PoBev I discovered The Hunts. They're a family of singers/musicians/songwriters and they're fantastic! I've basically listened to nothing else since. It's probably annoying CC...

Anyway, I come bearing gifts for your enjoyment:
