Interesting adventure....

So last night. Me and some of my friends were hanging out, and at about 10 o'clock at night we decided it might be fun to go climb the Y. I thought it'd be fun since i've never climbed it before...and i figured it'd only take about 2 hours to do because that's what i've heard. so i wasn't too worried about getting home super late or anything...so i went along.

Turns out, though, none of us knew how to get to the start of the trail, so we parked in some random neighborhood and found what looked to be the start of the trail....(it definitely wasn't) after climbing for about an hour and realizing this definitely wasn't the trail i started getting worried about getting home late...(i had noteworthy reahearsal at 9 in the mng today).

Anyway...so we're walking on this random trail, and then FINALLY we find where the REAL trail start is....i was pretty much Extremely worn out at this point because i hadn't eaten much that day...i hadn't been home at all so i just didn't have time...so basically i felt like i was going to die...(it probably had something to do with the fact i never excercise as well...but we'll just blame it on the elevation ;) )

So we start climbing up the switchbacks to get to the Y...and i feel like i'm going to pass out...seriously it's like straight uphill...not my thing let me tell you. So after going through 3 of the switchbacks...and realizing that it's now 1 in the morning...i lost all excitement for seeing the Y...so me and my friend decided that we'd just sit and wait while the others went up to the Y...We waited there for about 45 minutes...it was insane.

THEN...we realized we had no idea how to get BACK to our car...we KIND OF knew the general direction of the car so we started walking that way...but then we couldn't find the trail we'd been walking on to get back to our car...so we just started making our own trail...oh man...i literally slid down half-way down the mountain. it was CRAZY! but FINALLY we found the trail again...and it was about 2:30 in the morning.

But by this point we were all STARVING because we'd basically hiked off all the food we'd eaten in the past 3 days haha. So we decided to go to Denny's. By the time i got home from Denny's it was 4:45 in the morning...and i still needed to shower because i was SO dirty from hiking and sliding down the mountain...so by the time i actually got to bed it was 5:15ish...meaning i had 3 hours until i had to be up for rehearsal...AHHH!!

I was so dead at rehearsal today, but oh well...it was definitely a fun adventure! Not sure i'd want to do it again, but it was fun :D

Moral of the story...make sure you know where the beginning of the trail is before you try to climb the Y.

Here are some pictures from our adventure.

this is the street we parked on...we were exciteed to be back! :D

I have a little extra time today...

So apparently there was something important going on today because NO one was at the creamery. Maybe everyone is staying home tonight to prepare for the season premier of the office or something. They let me off 2 hours early because it was so slow. which is exciting because usually i have to rush off to noteworthy rehearsal smelling like hamburgers, but now i have time to take a shower and finish up my hmwk. sweet...i even had time to get some dinner at the creamery and actually enjoy it haha. a grilled cheese sandwich and a roasted almond fudge shake. SO GOOD. Anyway. i'm off to go take a shower so i don't smell like hamburgers...
Oh and also...i don't even have english tomorrow because we have a paper due monday so class is cancelled. so i get to sleep in until like 11 if i want... :D yay. but i think i'm going to go take my stats test sometime tomorrow...we'll have to see how that goes...because my teacher isn't that great. i never go to class because all she does is read the powerpoints to us and i bought a little book of all the power points. so i pretty much teach myself how to do it by doing my hmwk. so wish me luck on that test...

Well...

I have definitely done a lot today, but it's good because i felt really productive, and i actually got a lot done. I got up at 7:20 for my English class and went to that. then came home and took a 3 hour nap. Then i did my stats homework and took my Living Prophets quiz. (Yay for not missing this one haha.) Then i did the dishes, Made some Dinner for my roommates and myself, cleaned up the kitchen, and did some laundry (which by the way i'm not a big fan of having to pay with quaters...i'm all out...and i don't really have any cash...blech). but anyway it's still only 5:30. Meaning i will probably get to bed by like 11 tonight. SO exciting! I don't think i've gone to bed before 12ish since i've been here. and most nights i don't go to bed until 1 or 2. But i defnitely will tonight!
Now i'll probably go do another load of laundry and finish up my BOM and Living prophets homework. Then there's some weird safety meeting i have to go to...the joys of living on campus.
but anyway i'm definitely feeling better today...i'm not quite so tired. although i'm still not caught up all the way on sleep. I think i should be okay for the next few days.

Saving lives can wear you out...

oh man.
i am exhausted...
seriously i've been so busy i have no time to sleep anymore.
or to even get all of my homework done.
it's kind of insane.
any time i'm home i just want to be sleeping.
and yesterday i gave blood.
wow...it made me like 5o times more tired today.
at least i'm guessing that's what it was.
it could've been the fact that i had to wait 4 hours to give blood.
so i ended up staying up till 2 to finish my hmwk.
but all in all...saving lives wears me out.
i can't even keep my eyes open....
i think i'm going to go take a 15 min nap before work actually.
goodnight.

it's been a few days.

but everything is still good!
i've been really busy with everything though.
and whenever i'm home i'm usually napping.
i get SO tired it's insane.
but i just got home from Noteworthy.
we now have threeish songs down.
and one dance...
so it's been fun!
we have a retreat this weekend.
where we all are staying at amy's house.
and doing some workshops and all that crazy stuff.
it'll be fun though!
i'm excited!
school is going well too.
i'm still in love with my living prophets class
it is by far my favorite.
writing is my second favorite.
besides the fact that i have to write a paper by monday.
yucky.
so i guess we'll go with food prep being my second favorite haha.
cuz i get to eat food in that one!
my lease favorite is definitely music civilization....
merely because i don't care who wrote the 5th symphony in D major...
haha.
but my teacher in that class is really funny so he kind of makes it bearable
stats puts me to sleep, but i should probably be better at going to that class.
and BOM is good too.
it's just somwhere in the middle.
my teacher is AMAZING.
but i have a feeling that the tests for that class might be a little crazy.
so we will see how that all turns out.
anyway.
i've gotta go do some hmwk and take a shower.
then it's bedtime.
writing at 8 tomorrow morning.
how fun?!
haha oh...i also need to pack for the retreat.
i'm leaving tomorrow at 6 for that.
yeahya!
basically noteworthy is amazing. yep. :)

Love

oh except i missed my first living prophets quiz.
i totally forgot about it.
because natalie surprised me and came up yesterday
and i thought it was still going to be up today.
but it definitely wasn't...
not good.
but i think he said he drops the 2 lowest scores in that movie...
so as long as i do well on all the rest it shouldn't affect my grade.

lets see...what else?

she's from orem so it's not very far away.
her mom made us a nice dinner.
