around these parts.

if you come to my apartment anytime in the next six months i will be dressed like this...


or this...drinking hot chocolate...

it snowed again today. actually, it snowed four times to be precise.
the clouds kept teasing; start, stop, start, stop....
it isn't sticking quite yet but it is still dreadful. 
thank goodness i am going home tomorrow. 
whoooo hoooo!!
my only fear is that when i come back to p town it will be even colder.
brrrrrfreeezing. 
how do you make it through these northern utah winters? i would love any tips!

lets get physical

remember when i posted about how i hate when my plans in my planner can't answer all the questions.
wellll.....i have accepted the fact that sometimes change is good.
i know that i should have accepted this some time ago.
i probably have but i always seem to revert back to not loving it.
this post isn't exciting or fun so if that is what you are looking for...feel free to skip right on by!

my changes:
i am no longer a dietetics major.
i think exercise science and wellness is where my devotion lies now.
oh yes, with a minor in nutrition.
i have a complete exercise science schedule for this upcoming semester.
i am still a little nervous about the change.
but, i want to help people change and feel good about their body through fitness and healthy eating.
dietetics is more meal planning and food service.
i want to be going and moving, not spending most of my time studying meals for different diseases.
who knows....i might switch back after a semester of classes if i don't love them.
for right now though....i am jumping in head first!
and i am more than excited about it!
i mean...i am only twenty...i am in no insane rush...right?

in other news...have you listened to t-swift's new album? it is g-double-o-d good. it makes me want to dance around the office. sometimes i do.

in other, other news....it snowed in provo yesterday. this morning it snowed again and it is sticking to rooftops and cars. nothing has stuck to the ground yet but i can just feel it looming. the air has turned bitter.
i almost cried yesterday when it was coming down...not even a joke. i was on the phone with my mom and she was laughing at me as i talked myself out of tears. it might be a long winter. wish me luck!

almost a month ago...

..we went to the big a show at the gallivan center
imagine dragons was playing. we love them.
while there we also found that we really like the band Grouplove.
...prior to the concert we shopped and had lunch at the blue lemon with a mission companion.
after the concert we got lost while looking for a pit stop place, shared a gospel message with a homeless man, ate at bucca di bepo in downtown, walked around temple square and stayed up way too late. 
it was a good time.

ps....i suck at blogging right now. (as if you haven't noticed)
hopefully i will get things caught up soon.....in december...when the semester is over.

when even my planner can't solve it.

Sometimes....okay all the time....I am OCD about how things run.
they must...
run smoothly...
exactly how I planned...
exactly when I want...
yada yada yada... 
crossing things off in my planner or seeing that i am exactly fulfilling what my "plan" is brings me great joy.
I know, I know. That is a completely unreasonable way to live. 
I guess I just like being unreasonable?...don't read too far into that one.  

Welp......this semester so far has shot that all the heck. 

Enter Brigham Young University.
Someone forgot to tell me that I probably didn't want to take statistics, accounting and organic chemistry at the SAME TIME oh yeah and Book of Mormon too.  
Possibly common sense could have told me that?
 it didn't. 
I blame it on the fact that every semester at Dixie I took seventeen credits at the very least.
My last semester there I was enrolled in twenty-one credits and still got a 4.0.
Oh how I love you Dear Dixie School!

To put it quite frankly...I was getting spanked with all of those classes. 
So I decided that I needed to re-evaluate my plan a little bit.
Yesterday I said adios to chemistry for the semester. 
It just needed to happen. 
I am quite positive that if someone captured a picture of my face when I hit the withdraw button that they could have sent it in for some money. 
It was ugly with a heavy dose of tears. 
Surprisingly....this little interruption in my "plan" could not feel better.
To replace the time that chemistry was holding I will be spending more time volunteering for Dietetics and working on my oh so painful application. 

Of course I prayed about that decision like crazy and also consulted my amazing mother.
The poor lady has been in the hospital all week by her dad's side and has also been dealing with my multiple breakdowns. 
Yes I said multiple.
It was a rough week....and that's putting it plainly. 

ANYWAYS....
here are a few pictures that prove that I am still loving college and living on my own. 
They have no real relevance to each other except for the fact that I like them.

 we looove trespassing and loving on indian statues.
 We found this huuuuge TV on the side of the road by the entrance to our complex!
It took us thirty minutes to get it to apt. 114.
Probably one of the funniest times of our life. I am going to upload the video sometime when I am not at work (oopsie) it was like christmas morning at UAC.
 trips home for weddings and to see these beautiful dancers!
I sure do miss my dancing sisters.
 As if finding one huge TV wasn't enough. Our neighbors came and gave apt. 117 a free huuuuger TV. 
watching The Notebook on that thing is spectacular.
Facetime with my loves back home!
 multiple trips to the Creamery for Graham Canyon ice cream. it is #sinfulllygood.
 Beautiful hikes to Stewart Falls up the canyon!

So regardless of the fact that it isn't going exactly as planned...the BYU life is treating me pretty dern good.
