Life, as we know it, is coming to an end

Last week was crazy! We put on a blood drive at the Institute Wed & Thurs, Friday was food day, for those of you that don't know what that is, hum, yum, literal translation: FREE FOOD. Then that night we put on a dance. Wow. that was interesting, but over all it turned out pretty good. My cousin Matthew and his friend Thomas were in town visiting so I brought them to the dance with me. They were such ladys' men! My cousin is a crazy good dancer and so is his friend so they had lots of eyes on them through out the night.
Saturday I spend the day shopping with my mom and aunt. It was the cutest thing to watch. My aunt loves shopping and my mom loves shopping with my aunt, thus, they had a ball. I just stressed over finding some shoes for President's Ambassadors (it's like ambassadors only we dress really fancy and go to "classy" events). That night after I got back from the Gala Music Festival (President's Ambassadors were helping out with it), I got out of my car and saw all these emo kids walking around. There was some kind of emo party going on across the road from where I live and you could hear the music blaring. I was talking to my friend Tommy on the phone at the time and told him about the party, so we both concurred that it would be best if we attended said emo party.
We went over to the house it was at, neither of us knowing whose house it was or who was throwing the party and just walked in (some might have called this trespassing - but Tommy and I would agree that it was the equivalent of inviting ourselves in;). We followed the music to the back of the house, through an indoor pool area, and to the backyard. They were playing a cover "Say It Aint So" by Weezer...as Tommy and I rocked out at this stranger's party I realized that I knew the lead guitarist, it was one of my best friends, J-2 (what we always called him because we had two Jeremy's in our group of friends), from High school!
It was way fun to see him, as well as other kids that were there that I hadn't seen in quite awhile. We asked Jeremy and some other kids whose party we were at and no one knew. I guess it will forever remain a mystery...

Oh Boy!

So, a little about me... I'm a Sophomore at Dixie State College. This is my second year as an ambassador for DSC, and I'm also on the Institute of Religion Council this year. For the most part I feel like a busy bee, but that's the way I like it!

Okay... So blog entry #1.

Last week was fall break and the week before was homecoming which was a lot of fun. Homecoming week was nuts!!! I'll have to put some pictures on here later. For Ambassadors we made a pirate ship for our homecoming float, it actually ended up winning the competition for best float! Then for Institute was decorated a crane (no not the Asian bird, but a literal crane). It was pretty sweet. Our theme was "Lifting Dixie." The parade was Saturday so was the Homecoming game (I ended up taking a nap instead; it was an exhausting week!) then that afternoon my homecoming date (a.k.a. Dillon - super stud, we got set up on a homecoming date that day;) picked me up and we went hiking in Snow Canyon State Park, and I kid you not - it started snowing!@ Yeah, I know! That night we all went back to his friend Tyler's for pictures (Tyler is a crazy good photographer) then after we ate Pasta factory take out at his house then partied hardcore at the dance. It was a good time.

Fall break was last week. It was nice to get to sleep in (I have three 7 a.m. classes this semester -I know, I know, WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!). Mainly, I spent the break catching up on homework, because mid-semester I have a tendency to slack off a little, shame on me. I did however take a little break friday night to go jam with some cool kids. I have this friend Todd that has his own recording studio (which I am amazingly jealous of) so him and his friend were recording that night and invited me to come play guitar some. It was an enjoyable experience. It's been forever since I've played with anyone - something I really miss. All the kids I used to play with are married now (we all know what happened when people get married...they fall off the face of the planet! ~Only joking, but seriously;) then later that night a group of friends and me watched some 80's movie and chilled.
