Baked potatoes. . .yummy!

Today was baked potatoe day at the school and for a mere $2.00 I got one with the works. It was very good.
So I'm taking piano lessons and. . .well. . .I'm very rusty. Its very embarrasing that I am so bad at playing the instrument. Oh well, I'll be taking a whole course on it at school and hopefully I'll get better.
Turned on the t.v. last week to see what was on and happened to catch the first episode of So You Think You Can Dance of the season. Its on tonight and I'm looking forward to watching it. Its the equivalent to American Idol except that its a dance competition and not a singing one. There are some really great dancers out there. It makes me miss taking dance classes and wish I had started dancing when I was younger.

Good afternoon!

Well it has been a great week so far.
This past weekend was spent at a retreat. That was fun and I really enjoyed the speaking. The theme was Seeing and Serving the Savior and therefore messages were a lot about getting to know God. The theme verse was Philippians 3:10.
On Monday I watched the season finale of 24 with some friends. I enjoyed it, but I guess it could have been better. I'm wondering what they will come up with for the next season.
Tuesday I had class and wrote my first test of the semester. I think I did alright. I answered every question and I think I most likely got around 85% or a 90%. I'll find out tonight anyway. After class I went out to Tims with some friends. We had a good conversation and I hope we can do it again sometime. It gave me something to look forward to while I was listening to the prof ramble on about poetry.
I didn't bother watching American Idol last night. I didn't really want Taylor to win. I think Chris should have made it to the finale. I also didn't watch Lost because I had forgotten to tape it. I know someone who taped it though so hopefully I can borrow it from her. I'm hearing that it was a good ending for the season.

Blueberry pancakes and lots of white toast!


Went for brunch this morning with Leanne. The food was delish (of course I usually think food is good, unless its beats or squash) and we had a good time talking.


Volunteered in the afternoon at my Dad's school. Last time I was with the special needs kids and today I was in resource. Who knew that I could remember what integers were and how to multiply them?

I'm also tutoring now. Thats a lot of fun actually. I enjoy preparing what I'm going to do with kids I tutor. The youngest is really cute. Always telling me that its time for me to go home (smart kid, but can't sit still for long periods of time).

Pics of highschool friends



Hard to believe that it has been almost a year since I graduated from highschool. Here are some pictures of our mini reunion. Unfortunatly there are many others who frequented the hallway that couldn't attend. We missed them all and discussed shoes we were wearing (or in my case the lack thereof) in somber memory of those who weren't with us.
Here are the pictures of the evening.

Update? Update? Now what is that?

Hello everyone. Terribly sorry that I have neglected this thing for the past week or so. I was waiting until I had some pictures to post, but someone hasn't e-mailed them to me yet. . ahem. . .and therefore I am going to have to do without for a bit.
So what is happening in my wonderful and exciting life? Well, I'm glad you asked. For the past week I have been sick and instead of updating this lovely blog, I have been eating purple jello and homemade popsicles while watching Regis and Kelly Live.
Also did snack and chat at youth group on Friday. I did the driving for my group and missed every street and driveway possible. Disregarding my navigation skills, the night was a lot of fun. I learned some new things too. Like, never throw your keys at Noel's hat if you want your key chain to stay intact and how to squeel tires (the latter being the most useful lesson of course).
Monday was a reunion for the hallway crew. We had a bon fire and debated on important issues such as. . .um. . .I don't remember. I'll post pictures of the evening later, when they are e-mailed to me. I can truthfully say that the biggest thing I miss about highschool (and I don't miss a whole lot) is lunch time in the hallway. Had a great group of friends to eat my bagels with.
24 was alright too. Wish the president wasn't so slow at going about killing himself.
Oh, started a literature course at school yesterday too. I have to read a part of Beowulf by tomorrow night. Should be an interesting class.
Thats all folks! Pictures will be coming.
