Electric Feel

I just want everyone to know that I had to do two oral presentations two days in a row. To some that may not be a big deal, but to me it is the worst. I would usually take a zero on a presentation over having to stutter and have sweaty palms in front of a bunch of strangers. To add to that, one of my presentations ended up me having my zipper down, crappy pants, and of course the night before I had to test teal nail polish on one finger. So if you can imagine i was a messy person.
Speaking of pants that have a faulty zipper. Who in heavens name would design a pair of pants with a zipper that doesn't work. Just so you know it is American Eagle pants. Of which I already have a problem with. They always shrink. So in the end I have floods with my zipper down. rad.

Anyway. BFFE is married now....I think it has been a week yesterday. Their wedding was great. They got married at eleven at the Bountiful Temple. Beautiful. Then they had their reception at Noah's in Sandy....I think. I know it was at Noah's I just don't know which city it was in. But it was sooo beautiful. They had a photobooth instead of having people just write in a book they would take pictures and it would print out a strip of photos just like the real deal and you would put one strip in the book and say something nice and then you get to keep a copy.
Here is something funny. In Noah's there are many rooms with about four floors. And along with the reception that we were at there was a high school party in another room, where one of BFFE's aunts would go to get some diet coke. that'a lady. But I guess they found out that our party was pretty rad so a few kids came over and took some pictures in the photobooth and they even wrote a really funny note in the book. They did have some cool pseudo names like Harold and names that are what old people have as names. It was funny. I wish I was as clever as kids these days. Yes. I am grouping them in a different group than me. I am way mature now. okay? okay.
Before the wedding my best friends and I had a little party at {friend}s house. It was a real hoot. We used to video tape everything we did. It was a great time. So we watched those and then did a last hurrah. Then {friend} had to go and cut her foot and splatter, and when I say splatter I mean splatter in every sense of the word, blood all over the wall and the floor and carpet. It was nasty. I felt ill while wiping it away. I don't even want to go into the idea of the smell.
BFFE's husband's family has a tradition where the girls take the groom and the boys take the bride and make them do something before they can get back together. We took BFFE's man to Walmart and made him earn money for....."lotion". We got kicked out twice. yes twice. there are some cool people at walmart but there are some serious mean people.

They can totally do that now.
Anyway. I am basically doing school and work right now. Nothing else. and even still I am unable to save money. WHAT AM I DOING?!?!? dang. I will get better. that is the goal this year. But for one of my classes I am taking Native American History and I have to do a research paper on the Spanish Influenza and that it did affect the Indians, some scholars don't think that it is the flu that got them just being poor (which is dumb), Anyway. I am pretty thrilled about it all. It is an upper division class which is freaky since I am still a freshman, you are probably wondering what exactly I am even doing, however, my teacher is really good at making sense and he isn't one of those teachers who just send you off and say good luck. He is constantly emailing me giving me details and other things I can research. Thank goodness because I would be totally lost if I didn't have someone to guide me.
Anyway I am just sitting here in my grandma's sweatshirt and just realized that it has been a blizzard all night and I have been sitting here in cozy land falling asleep randomly and just being plain lazy. gotta love winter..not really. i can't wait to go outside.
