BEST DAY EVER!!!!!!!!!

WARNING!!!! THIS IS A LOT OF RANDOM BLOGGING.... I AM JUST REALLY EXCITED SO SKIP DOWN TO READ HERE TO GET THE CLIFF NOTES VERSION!!!!

I'm glad I am SO NOT dramatic! So I am back at BYU-Idaho. I don't hate it here, I just don't really love it. I know an education is good and I need one and blah blah blah. But I never really thought I was going to be able to finish. I first declared my major as Political Science upon returning back to this blessed University. After taking classes I was told I need to, that I really didn't. I realized I had a lot of credits... and I need to figure out a way to graduate. Ya know so I can do this....

But upon discovering that I had so many credits, I also discovered that Political Science was a useless degree for me. I needed to do business. So just change my major to Business Management right? WRONGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!! It would have been easier to go to Mars than change my major to Business. So after weeks and weeks and weeks and countless hours trying to figure out what to do and what is possible and who to talk to and blah blah blah. I was so frustrated. Anyways, finally after hours of praying my prayers were finally answered. This blessed lady told me about this degree called University Studies. She explained that basically you make up your own degree. You choose a minor and two "clusters" (Clusters are basically like mini minors). After hearing about this degree I was determined to get this. She told me it was hard to be approved for this degree though. My dad continued to tell me that I can do whatever I want. If I want to get approved I will. So I did everything I needed to. I worked on this for hours, making sure that I could take each class during the times I needed to. I worked on it over and over and over and over and over again. I had it perfect. I knew it was perfect. I knew they would look and be amazed at how perfect I had it. I wrote my letter why I deserve to be accepted and set up my appointment to go talk to the President of the University Studies Department. I called my Dad and read him my letter before I went. I told him I was staying in this man's office until I got accepted. I had it figured out that I could graduate in 2 semesters. Although the only problem was that I needed to get accepted to FAST GRAD which allows me to go to school in the fall because that is when my "summer" is. Also... I need to register for classes on next Friday. So this all had to get done before this weekend. So... here is how it went...

OK EVERYONE START READING HERE......

I had my meeting with the President of University Studies. I waited for him for over an hour. He read over my case and looked at my plan. After 20 minutes he said that he hadn't seen someone more perfect for this degree. He signed it and knew of my urgency. He promised that as soon as the lady got back from lunch that also needed to sign it he would have her sign and walk it straight down so my fast grad could be approved. An hour later I checked my e-mail. Both had already been sent through. Both Approved. As I was walking out of Pres. Tibbits office I turned around and shook his hand, I told him I was really grateful for everything and this was the BEST DAY EVER!!! He was suprised that by being apporved of a degree change it would make me so happy. I explained how much time and effort I have put into this. So by changing my degree and going on FAST GRAD I hopefully, if everything goes according to my well planned out plan I should graduate in April 8, 2011. That is in about 40 weeks... but who's counting....

Oh wait.... This girl is....

If you can't tell by the look on my face... I am really REALLY excited to graduate from college. (This picture was actually from when I got my flip... but whatev!) However, the next 2 semester will be incredibly challenging, but let's be honest with ourselves shall we? I work my best when under pressure. So wish me luck. Starting September 9th I will most likely be MIA and by MIA I mean hidden during homework.... See you in April:) haha

Good news! I'm NOT adopted!!!!

Now, some of you might say... "Why would Michelle think she is adopted?" And my Mother would say "You're not adopted. I remember the day you were born... I was there. I was the one birthing you!!!" But, there is something about me that is different from my mother and my sister...

So, I have finally discovered why I am not like my mother or sister, who love to scrapbook and make cards and all the crappy... I mean CRAFTY stuff. It's not because I am adopted... Or because I don't want to be like them... or spend time with them. (I do like to spend time with them and I DO want to be like them!) But! I have figured out this mystery. No thanks to you, Nancy Drew!

Ok, ok, I know you guys are all waiting anxiously for me to tell you why I am don't scrapbook. I don't take pictures! I have done a lot of fun things with my roommates this summer. And not once have I even taken pictures. I don't even think that my roommates know that I have a camera.

Makes sense huh? I hate taking pictures. Well, that's a lie. I like taking them, I just never remember to take my camera! So, here's the deal. I will shortly upload some pictures on here from SOMEONE'S camera and you can finally see what I have been up to...

Where is my Charlie?

Today was bad... it was a VERY bad day! I cried more today than I have in the past year. No Bueno. Anyways, there has been a lot of heartbreak in our apartment this week. One, is getting engaged this weekend. But two had their boyfriends break up with them. So needless to say we needed some "bonding" and some fun. We thought going to see Letters to Juliet would be a good idea.... NOT! It was actually a really good movie. Just makes us all want to find our Romeo aka Charlie sooner. And if not now.. maybe find our Lorenzo later in life. Welp... I guess I am just remembering a pretty famous (ok... not really) quote I used to say, and it fully applies today. "Life sucks... then you die!" However, tomorrow is a new day.. and hopefully a better one.

We have a MAJOR problem!!!!

Ok so here's the deal.

I love Naps...

I love Naps more than anything!

Well, not anything...

But I REALLY LOVE naps.

I take them daily.

We had a good relationship going...

Until you add a Diet Pepsi at 10:30 pm.

Oh and not just any Diet Pepsi..

It HAD to be a Horkleys!

What's a Horkley's?

44ounces of HEAVEN.

Once that D.P. is added...

EVERYTHING is ruined.

It's 4:30 am and I am awake...

And MISERABLE!!!!

Sleep, Sleep, Sleep...

Sleep, Facebook, Facebook, Sleep...

Blog, Facebook, Youtube, Facebook...

You get the point... I just want to SLEEP!

NEVER, NEVER again will I Nap!

Ok, that is probably a lie.

I KNOW it is a lie... but seriously...

This was a BAD idea!!!

Quote of the Day

Here is a little sample of my business class... Topic: The Current Recession

Teacher: So, why do you think so many Americans already have their next paycheck spent. In other words, why are so many Americans so far into debt?

Male Student: Because so many people think they need to have the newest Lady Gaga Purse... or whatever. They just try so hard to be cool.

Teacher: uh... ok... how about you, Michelle.

Me: Well Brother Nygren, I am not sure you should ask me.. I just bought the newest Lady Gaga Purse last night. I brought it online. It should be here today.

Teacher: Dead silence (for a really long time) Seriously? Lady Gaga has a purse?

Me: YA! You don't have one yet? Loser!

... the whole class is silent....

Me: No... Lady Gaga does NOT have a line of purses. I think so many Americans are in debt because credit cards are Satan. Once you get one credit card, Satan won!

Teacher: Exactly!

Here's what you've missed on... gLee

My newest favorite show is Glee. If you have never seen it, or maybe judging it before giving it a chance (*cough* AMANDAPECK***) then you need to watch it... go HERE to bring out your inner glee. Anyways they always start the show with the line "here's what you've missed on Glee" then they give like a thirty second recap. Sometimes I say that in my head before reviewing my day and or week. So here's what you've missed in Michelle's Life:

I am unemployed STILL and apparently will still be until the Lord sees fit to change that. I am loving all of my classes but one, and I LOATH that class. I have no friends in Idaho anymore :( I wish I could move home every day but not really. The boys that go to school here are a joke. Literally, someone has to be playing a major prank.I pray someday, someone yells "GOTCHA" really loud on campus and then BOYS start acting like MEN! And I am CEO of my business class team and am with 5 other boys and they all are super nice to me all the time (probably only because I get to decide their grade) and last but not least I did homework for 8 hours straight. And today the highlight of my day was watching Glee and having the man I dream about sing Jessie's Girl. And last week they sang Total Eclipse of the Heart (my all time favorite song).

So as you can see... in all reality you haven't missed a THING in my life.. Maybe next week...

I need Change

As I am sitting home alone on a Friday night I though to myself... I need change. I need to change my social life, my hair, my blog... and pretty much everything else that I possibly could change. I mean think about it... I am 23 years old. I live in a MORMON college town and I am home alone? Ridiculous right? WRONG!!! I had many offers to go out and "hang out" and "go dancing". But I am NOT all about that. I would rather stay home watch gLee or The Office on Hulu rather than hang out with 18/19 year olds. Nothing against them.. just I am not really into going out just because it's Friday night. I don't mind my life at all. Sometimes it is nice to just chillax. My week has been long and non stop I feel, so tonight is the perfect way to unwind. As for my hair... ya I need to do something.... I feel frumpy (never good) and my blog needs to be updated. I have so many pictures from Washington/ Vegas/ The Grand Canyon that needs to be put on here. I want to change the layout. But let's be honest... That is WAY too much work and I would rather study for my test that is in the morning. (Wait... did I just say I would rather study... I MUST be getting sick!!) Anyways... moral of the story. I am happy with life... even if I keep having to go through these gosh darn life tests... seriously... do they ever stop... and I hope we get to use Extra Credit in Heaven... just sayin!

On another note here are some random things that happened today...

I was sitting in my business class and talking to the guy sitting next to me when all of the sudden this other guy came running up to me and stopped right in front of my desk. We then had this conversation...

guy: Can I have your number?

me:... uh...

guy: ... uh so......... I can call... you.... to cut my hair sometime!

me: oh.. haha sure.. it's...

guy: sweet. ok... uh will you just do it.. (hands me the phone)

me: ok I just saved the number under Michelle Haircut Lady, call or text me whenever you need your haircut (cheesy smile)

guy: Perfect. I will. (walks away nervously)

I then turn back to the guy sitting next to me... and say...

Me: I seriously hate it when guys run up to me and ask for my number... happens all the time!

Guy sitting next to me: Really???

Me: No... but that was super awkward!

Guy: ya... imagine how awkward it will be cutting his hair... haha

Me: ugggh... if it is super awkward I am charging him more!!!

Guy: I would too just for that conversation

It was incredibly awkward. The guy that ran up to me and asked for my number was semi nerdish and it's going to be so much fun cutting his hair. :)

Also... my roommate was down in Utah with her Mom (and she is engaged) and called me asking where a good lingerie store was... I don't know why she called me, but hopefully her mom doesn't think I am some kind of whore... Seriously, the things Martha thinks... haha Why would I know where a good lingerie store is???

p.s. I will post and change things around soon... but just to prepare every one's sympathy for me..... I am the only one in my apartment (out of 6 girls) that is not a teenager.... AWESOME.... NOOOTTTT!!!!!!!
