Is this funny, or weird? I can't decide.

I personally think this is weird. The writers are obviously trying to be funny.
What do you think?

Lucky Me!

What a blessing it was to take Humanities and English 1010 for college credit in high school, SERIOUSLY! I had been planing to sign up for classes at the stroke of midnight today, but to my surprise, I found that my SLCC credits had already transfered. Because I had more than one credit, I could sign up for classes a day earlier than the rest of the new freshman! I had about an hour to play with my schedule (making sure not to take classes too early, but early enough), dropping and adding classes to my heart's content!

At the end of the night, I made my final decisions for my fundemental classes and I wanted one more class that I actually want to take, Psychology. I looked online to see which professor was good. The clock struck midnight and when I clicked "add class" it took like 5 minutes to load and put psychology on my schedule. Other freshman like me were finally on, making their schedules with the best times like I wanted to, cloging up the school's servers. Boy am I happy that I took those college classes in high school, allowing me to start my schedule a day early! For now, I am content with my 5 classes and 15 credits, American history, math, science, missionary Book of Mormon and psychology. Even more, without the concurrent classes I would have had to wait and struggle to get the classes I want.

Finished!

I have officially gotten high school out of my life, literally! Today i finally got around to going through all my old high school papers and threw them away. I found lots of old assignments, essays, tests and other papers. Memories rushed through my head, remembering the class and the things I grew to love through that class. As I went through the papers, I remembered all the work (or lack thereof) I put into that piece of work. I found old notebooks and laughed as I read through the pages of notes I took, thinking of how much I may have hated or liked the class. I found my old physics notebook. All I can say is how happy I was to get that out of my house! What a relief to get those assignments and papers out of my life to make room for all college will bring to me.

One rainy day!

Today in the SLC it rained. HARD! The weather right now is crazy. It has rained every day for the past 2 weeks! I have never seen this kind of weather in June. Today as my sister and I were going to a party, we took these shots. As we were at one stop light, I took these pictures. Look at 21st south. It is like a river!

 Lok at the rain on the window!

 

Look at 21st. It is a river!

After the storm, I tested out the micro zoom on my camera. Look at the water droplets! 

Look at the flower!

Hiking

Last Saturday morning we hiked to the living room. It was fun! I had never hiked there before, although I had hiked most of the trail before, as it is the trail to the beacon. I never really realized what a beautiful valley we really live in.

Graduation Party

HORRAY! Graduation day has now come and gone. On Tuesday, O had a party to celebrate her graduation as she wouldn't be attending her own graduation because she would be in DISNEYLAND!!! Complete with a flowing white gown and hat, red and white tassel and even a chocolate lei (and a real one too!), O gave an excellent speech with an ever heartwarming quote from anonymous! We laughed. We cried. We applauded. Thanks O! It was by far the best graduation I have ever attended (even better than my own!).

I hope your dreams take you . . . to the corners of your smiles,
to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities,
and to the most special places your heart has ever known.

UP

If you haven't seen Pixar's latest masterpiece, UP, you are in for a real treat! The film is wonderful. The animation is top-notch, filled with color and amazement. UP is filled with memorable characters you will truly care for. You are also bound to cry!

Lou Romano, the art directors on UP has posted a lengthy post on his blog about the art direction on a film like this. It is amazing the amount of detail Pixar puts in to create their films. Some of the illustrations were done after Pixar took a research trip to South America. These illustrations were to convey the look, feeling and style of the film. It is a real shame that these wonderful illustrations are only for pre-production work and are not intended for the audience, although the image above is used in the film as the mural Ellie paints above the mantel.

I hope that you enjoy the film as much as I did!

Look at the post HERE.

Also look out for Lou Romano's voice in other Pixar films, most notably staring as Linguini in 2007's Ratatouille.

My after graduation adventures

I graduated from Olympus High School at on June 4, 2009. What fun times! After graduation, we took pictures and my family went out to dinner. That night, at 10, I arrived at Jared's. We played a bit of pool and finally went to the school for a night of fun!
At the last bash, they lock all the students in so they wont go out drinking. They have fun and games, lots of prizes, blow up toys, lots of food, glow in the dark miniature golf, a fortune teller, a riding bull (So hard), and my favorite, Mel the Magician. Mel was AMAZING! he had a stack of $1 bills and turned all of them into $100! He also had a special dollar that, when folded, would switch the four quadrants of a dollar around. At the prize wheel, I saw Christian get raging waters tickets, Alyssa get a $50 spoon me card and Katie get a Lagoon pass. It was my turn. I got a free lunch. NO! (Luckily Carly didn't want her $25 Subway card and I traded with her.)
Mini Golf was fun. We got free glow in the dark sticks. In the gym, there were all these blow up toys: Slides, an obstacle course, and my favorite, a bungee run where you were strapped to a cord to your back and you would run and be pulled back. WAY TOO FUN! I won a $10 gift card playing "Let's make a deal," which was amazing cause I never win things. After being called into the lunch room and hearing the unfunny comedian and after the raffle, we could leave. By now it is 3 AM.
You didn't think the night was over did you? NEVER!! We went to Jared's and talked for a bit. Haval, Christian, Katie and I went swimming for like 2 hours. We mostly just sat in the pool so we wouldn't fall asleep. We were determined to stay up until at least 9!
We went down stairs and found the others watching a movie. I sat down and almost fell asleep, but Christian kept poking me to stay awake. Finally it was about 6 and we made delicious banana pancakes as I sang the song by Jack Johnson.
After breakfast, we played a game of tennis. I was tired by now and didn't have any energy.
Eventually I made my way home and finally went to bed. WHAT A GREAT NIGHT! WILL DEFINITELY HAVE TO PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER WITH THAT GROUP AGAIN!
