"Oh I just can't wait!.."

So there are a couple of things I could be working on instead of blogging, but if I do them my brain will explode thus sending bits and pieces of it everywhere in the room... and I don't think Genevieve would appreciate it, especially since Charlie is visiting. So I was 1 minute or a few seconds away from not applying to the Media Arts major, but I made it. Yay! The minutes leading up to that time felt like a vampire slayer was mistakenly putting a stake through my chest and shoulders... (I've been exposed to Twilight trailers). I turned it in and everything was ok, except I was still nervous for the pending presentation and results. I also realized I had turned in the wrong report. Luckily all that was fixed. Now my stress comes from the source of two late papers, a pending project, a quiz, and an upcoming midterm... AHH!! (and then some).

On different news, I discovered that the Mexican soap opera which I watched before coming to BYU is rerunning on Univision right were I left off! And Grandma really like a very bad soap opera called Fuego en la Sangre, or Fire in the Blood. It's ridiculous, as is the one I was watching, but the difference is that I actually enjoyed it.

Anyways, I should really get working on some homework. So I'll probably update this later.
Ok, mind boggling discovery. Check what happens when you click Ctrl + Alt + (the left, down, or right arrow). It's so cool!

Significant Friday marked by Biology Test... among other things.


So another Halloween come and gone... (sigh). This is the second Halloween I spend away from home. I must say however that it was better than last year's (which I spent dressed as a hobo). I spent my evening asleep on the couch since I had stayed up way past the recommended time. This year was better in that I liked my costume better, even if I didn't know what I was. I went to a stake dance which was not the best of dances I've been to but a dance nonetheless. Later I went to watch the 11:00pm showing of Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street at the Castlerock Theater (ampetheater, idk) in Provo. It was a cool and unique experience. Although by its end I was tired, sleepy, somewhat wet, cold, and a bit pissy from a bug bite I got on my knee. I think it was a spider.
My brothers however had a more... scary, Halloween. Before my brother had left on his mission, he had put up a haunted garage sort of thing. The following Halloween was marked by some trick or treating with my brothers and questions from strangers outside our house about the missing haunted garage. Now that my brother is back, he set out to bring back the haunting of our garage (which in fact is not a real garage but 5 metal poles holding up a roof). I got calls the next day from one of my brothers telling me how awesomely scary the garage was. Apparently some squirmish trick-o-treaters would only glance at the garage and walk away.
I had less sugar than expected, unless you count the various s'mores I had previous to the 31st. Now it is the 2nd and I have already seen some Christmas decorations. It is as if Thanksgiving didn't exist! Although I must admit I am very excited to see the Christmas lights on the Brigham Square trees to go on. I realize I will soon have to put up the Christmas lights from last year on my window. I look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas which I know will include family visits, ridiculous amounts of great mexican cooking, a filled, blissful and possibly sick self as a result form the previous, and best of all (esp during Christmas)... no school!
