moving sucks

i think that speaks for itself. it truly stinks to move. i hate it. what i hate even more right now is the fact that i don't know when i am moving. my current landlord is out of the country. my new manager hasn't called me back. granted i still have a roof over my head. but who knows how long that will last. wish me luck!

the end!!!

summer term has finally ended. everything is done. it's all wrapped up. i just have to make one stop by my professor's office later today/tomorrow morning, and then everything really will be finished!! it's a great feeling to be done. :) i'm a fan. i apologize that i haven't blogged in a week...but with finals and all....it just wasn't meant to be. however, it does mean that i have a wicked store of stories to tell all y'all that i don't even know where to begin! let's see if i can do my stories justice...let me just get comfortable......ah yes. here we go...

so one back story: on july 31st i went classic skating. a cute boy: aka sunday school president (ss prez) asked me to do the couple skate with him. it was fun. he's cute.

okay. so this past weekend i finished all my dance history project stuff early saturday afternoon hanging out with my FHE bros (include fhe bro #1 the fhe bro i have a crush on) after my show (which he came to) we went to an outdoor store he needed to go to and then back to his apartment where we watched "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" which is a hilarious movie. THEN we went to wally world to do some shopping, and after that we went out to mona with FHE bro #2 and BD a girl in the ward and watched the meteor shower. It was sweet. I went to bed at 4:30 am. ha ha ha!

Sunday (okay this is where it gets good), minus the part that i was late to church b/c of my roommate, but other than that it was a good day. so we walk in late and i end up sitting next to ss prez. he whacks my leg and says, "hey, how are you?" I respond, and then its back to the church meetings. :) after sacrament meeting he asks me which ss class i'm going to, and i tell him the upstairs one, and then he asks, "will you save me a seat?" of course i said yes! so then i save him a seat, and he brings his stuff in, and says he has to run an errand, and he'll be back. except he never came back!!! ugh!! so when he finally gets back, after the closing prayer, he tells me that he had an appointment with the bishop, and thus why he didn't make it to ss. so then he walks me down to relief society and asks me if i'll be going to ward prayer, and i say yes. then after church he ended up giving me a ride home. i made dinner with fhe bro #1 and then JW helped me with my narration for dance history. spent a lot of time at fhe bros' house. loved it. went to ward prayer. saw ss prez sitting my himself, so i go sit by him. then he asks me if i want to go on a walk, and i say yes. so we go on a very long walk. i liked it. at the end of said walk he asks me out. we're going out next weekend b/c he's in cali this weekend.

so then finals went splendidly, i'm so going to pass my accounting class, i'm stoked.

then tonight it rained. hard. for like an hour. OF COURSE i danced in it, how could i not? well mr. ss prez drove by and i tried to convince him to come out, but he had to pack for his trip, but then he did stop by later for a few minutes and we got to talk a bit. he thought i was crazy, but he liked it, i know he did.

anyways, i'm sure i'm forgetting something, but i'm in a good mood and i'm going to go and watch bourne identity. wahoo!!! :D

i wonder...

do stress balls really do anything? because if they do, then i need one really bad. My life is super stressful right now. school is ending and i have all of my projects to finish off. yikes!! work is starting to pick up, which is nice because that means it's busy, but at the same time it makes things stressful.

in other news: the missionary from iowa is home. we've emailed a little bit. broken the ice a bit i think. we'll definitely stay friends. i don't know what will happen. i think i'll have to wait to see him before i'll know anything, and even then it will take some time. but that's okay. i can take all the time in the world. :D

tonight's show went really well. my family and roommate and some friends came. my roommate got me flowers and a book, it was really cute. it was a fun show and i enjoyed having the opportunity to work with mentally disabled people. they have always scared me, and now, not so much. in fact, those girls are some of my new best friends. :D

and now i must be off to get some sleep so i can get everything done tomorrow that i need to get done. :S

When one gets in a fight

with a paper cutter, the paper cutter usually wins. unfortunately for me, this statement is very true. i was at work yesterday morning using the paper cutter. i had the blade up to adjust the paper i was cutting and i was bringing my right hand up to grab the handle when i didn't look where i was lifting my hand and i lifted my hand right into the blade, thus slicing my right index finger. i ended up going to the student health center and had to get 3 stitches and a tetanus shot. it hurts still, and its really hard to type. i have to leave the stitches in for 10 days, but other than that my poor finger isn't supposed to bend too much. :S oh the adventures i have...

this too shall pass

so after a horrible day last week and a scripture popping out and making SO much sense to me I was starting to feel better about myself. today's horoscope shed some light:
If your confidence has taken a beating lately,(how did you know??) today's energy will go far in turning this around, Alishka. Even if you feel like you've made too many mistakes, it's time to forgive yourself and to move forward. If you feel like you're a failure, this actually has a chance of becoming a reality. By allowing yourself to err and to keep on trying, there's no room for such self-fulfilled prophecies to come true. Believe in yourself and keep going. Resist drowning in self-pity.

So then I got a direct email from "my" missionary, which was exactly what i needed to hear, even if it was only 3 sentences. sigh. I can't believe how well he knows me. :) anywho...i'm doing much better than i was last week, that's for sure, and today has contributed so much to that. :D
