paint party 2010.

Last night, I went to probably one of the most awesome parties I have been to in Provo. Paint Party 2010 was epic!!! Anna, Alyssa, and I went to the paint party in our white shirts and black leggings and rocked it! There was tons of dancing, prime people watching, bangin' black lights, and loads of paint. We had so much fun and basically I am going to let the pictures tell the story.

Me, Anna, and Alyssa. I love these girls!

All pretty and ready to get our paint on!

Paint squirt guns!

P.S I was not trying to be a slut, but there was a lot of pushing, pulling, shoving hence the stretched out shirt and revealing shoulders.

We had a freaking blast!

black lights + paint + friends = AMAZING

diet coke and kindergarten.

Every Tuesday morning I volunteer in a local kindergarten classroom. I love it! It is so fun to see how excited all these little kids are to learn. This past Tuesday I was getting ready and since school has been rough I have been slacking on my Recovering Diet Coke Addict(RDCA) program. I really have been doing quite well. I have come a long way from having numerous 12-packs under my bed freshman year in the dorms. Hannah was a witness to the madness :) Anyways on Tuesday I really needed a pick me up because I looked so haggard from my lack of sleep. I did not want the teacher to think I was on drugs or hungover because if I saw me that's would be the first thought to pop into my mind. So I went and grabbed my 2-liter of Diet Coke from the fridge. I went to grab a glass, but there were no clean ones. So... I took the 2-liter with me back to my bathroom and continued doing my make-up and hair in my underwear while drinking straight from the 2-liter of Diet Coke. It was quite a sight. My RDCA sponsor would have been so disappointed... except I don't have a sponsor. Maybe I should look into getting one?

I sparkled.

Last week I had 4 midterms, 3 quizzes, a group paper, and a marketing presentation today.

It is ok though because I came out victorious. I got a 100% on my finance test, which was exciting. I felt ok about skipping my ethics class to study for it. It sure did pay off!

*By the way... I am pretty sure that skipping ethics class is probably a very unethical thing to do. My behavior toward my ethics class was slightly reflected in my ethics midterm. I missed 3 of the multiple choice, which may not sound like too many but there were only 15 multiple choice questions work 4 points each. Lame! Oh well I survived and I get to go home to California in a week!!!!!

Today my group gave our marketing presentation. One group has presented each week since the start of the semester, so since we were group 11. There were a lot of previous groups to compare us to... so the pressure was on. I was really blessed to only have to give the introduction and define our topic at the beginning. I get VERY nervous with group presentations. Public speaking does not really scare me. I can get up in front of a group of a million people all by myself and say whatever... no big. I think that the group aspect is what gets my nerves going because the group is counting on you to do well.

Anyways... after each group gives their presentation the other members of the class give positive feedback and then make comments on things the group could work on. So, at the end Professor S. was asking for some positive feedback. After about four comments, Professor S. said "What about the introduction?" I figured this was his transition into what the group could have worked on. He looked right at me and he said "You sparkled." I thought is he serious? He was like you did. I said thank you and was trying not to laugh. I kind of thought that he said "I sparkled" just to boost my self-esteem because I think I was a little shaky. I felt like I really did not do that much nor was it spectacular. A sweet guy from my ward is in my class and when he and I were talking about the "I sparkled" comment tonight at FHE he made me realize that I needed to accept the compliment. The sweet guy from my ward did make a good point that the professor does not give out very many compliments after these presentations. Thank you sweet guy. You are correct and I need to eat some humble pie.

Random moments.

1. I went to Zumba at the gym. The instructor had pieces of her hair fall out while she was teaching. Yes, the plural is correct. She had hair extensions fall out twice. You know you're getting a good work out when hair starts flying.

2. I got a jury duty summons. I swear I get these ALL the time. I know that there are plenty of unemployed people in CA that would love to earn the $15 a day. Can we please send them jury duty?

3. If the government wants to create jobs, then they should not allow people over the age of 60 to drive and provide free taxi service for old people. These old people are becoming a hazard to my health and I am sure many others around me. Today there was this old man driving so awful I was screaming. He was going so slow and not staying in his lane. So, I would speed up to get away from him, but then he would magically reappear. He almost hit me like three times. I could NOT get away from him. This old man needed the government provided free taxi service.

school. school. school.

Yes, all I do is school. I am consumed by school. My second home is the Tanner building (the business school building on campus). Actually... It is probably more like my first home. My second home is my bed where I sit and do my homework because I have been to cheap to buy an ethernet cord that will reach the other side of my bedroom where I can sit at my desk and do my homework like a real person. You would think since I do school 24/7 then a result of my studies would be no run-on sentences in my blog like the previous one... oh well. My social life is kind of lacking but I see plenty of books and quizzes:

Proof of my lacking social life:
1) I learned who won the World Series via my email from WSJ News Alerts
2) Yes, I refer to the Wall Street Journal as WSJ
3) My bedroom floor is covered with WSJ
