Fung Shwaay

we rearranged the room today.
it looks fantastic.
i'm basically in love with it.

we put our dresser in our closet.
so we had to downsize the closet by like 4 feet.
so....that meant a lot of folding and stuffing.
me and Haley, combined, have so much stuff.
it feels right though.

everything looks so homey! 

i raised my bed up too. 
it's super high.
and i have to step on my cinder block to get on it.
way fun.
and Haley can stare at me while i sleep.

hello creeper.

Capacity (a synonym for productive)

i was so productive today.
i got up and got dressed.
ok...so i was late for class...
that was the worst...
but! 
it turned around quick.
i went to my other class and finished my assignment IN CLASS.
then i went and did my discussion group.
then i worked out.
then i went to SI and hour early.
thanks to Haley.
so we sat in the quad side cafe.
then we went to SI and it was the best.
then i saw my cousin.
then we went to Wendy's.
then i did my homework.
now i'm blogging!
it's been a good day!!
oh jeez,
except that it's freaking COLD. 
it dropped like 20 degrees.
AND I WORE MY COMBAT BOOTS.
wooty. woot.

rant of the day

i've been feeling super off this week.
i don't know what it is.
but i hate it.
maybe it's the after shock of PMS.
but maybe it's different.
i feel like i'm missing something and i don't know what it is.
i can't figure it out.
plus i've been having boy troubles.
but not really.
i think i'm just being too sensitive.
i need to stop being like that.
is it bad to say i need to focus more on myself?
is that too self centered?
i feel like i've been super self centered lately.
i need to stop that too.

things i need to stop doing:
  1. being self centered.
  2. missing class.
  3. taking things personally.
  4. reacting to things i take personally.
  5. reading too into things.
  6. being inappropriate.
  7. eating out.
  8. not doing my homework.
  9. being down on myself.
  10. leaving my dishes out. 
  11. going to bed way late.
  12. tweeting all of my feelings. 
  13. leaving my bed unmade.
  14. talking about myself so much.
  15. being a bad friend.
things i need to start doing:

1. praying
2.  reading my scriptures.
3. doing my homework.
4. focusing on school.
5.  working out.
6. budgeting.
7. calling my parents more.
8. being happy.
9. eating better.
10. setting goals.
11. taking more "me" time.
12. taking more pictures.
13. writing poetry again.
14.  petting more kitties.
15. blogging more.

who knew life was so difficult.
i sure never expected it to be so hard.
if anyone could give me tips on life...
please do.
i need it.
and also,
is it too much to ask for a freaking guy to stop leading me on?
really though.
if you're a guy, and you're reading this:
i think you're an idiot.

i say YES to all of that.
   

#pinning

i got a pinterest.
soo....yeah.


um. yes.

Daddy's Girl

i'm a daddy's girl.
hence the title of this post.
it's true though.
i have been, and always will be.
when i was little i used to yell at my mom and tell her i hated her 
and that i only wanted dad.
things have definitely changed since then.
but...one thing hasn't.
i'm the favorite.
everyone knows it.
i'm the baby.
i'm a girl.
and i was adopted.

my dad's mom died of cancer before i was born.
i've always been told that i was my dad's gift from her.
me and my dad have always been close.
he's always spoiled me.
and not just with stuff.
with so much love.
i think i can count on one hand the number of times he's gotten mad at me.
he's always taken me places with him.
he's always taken my side. 
well...most of the time.
he's always been so understanding.


not a very great picture...
but this man has to be one the most selfless people i've ever known.
he rarely does something for himself.
he works non stop, just to give us a good life.
but, one of the greatest things about my dad is his love for humanitarian work.
he has been to south america 1 or 2 times.
and africa at least 4.
he is so willing to give.
he plans his whole year around Africa.
it's so important to him.
one time i asked him why it was so important.
he told me that God gave him the gift and ability to do dentistry,
so why should he not share his talents with people who truly need it.
isn't that so cool?
he is the best.
i miss him so much.

over the summer there was a few weekends where we just hung out.
we would go to dinner and a movie or just to run errands.
it was so fun.
i cherished every moment. 

he's gone a lot, because he commutes to Nevada once a week and is there for a couple days.
i don't see him that much.
so it was fun to have that time with him.

i'm so lucky to have such amazing parents.


whomp whomp.

i feel this overwhelming desire to blog.
but i have nothing really to blog about.
so...
i'll ramble.
i just took a test in biology and i don't think i did very well.
i felt like i completely understood the homework...
but not the test.
i hope i passed.

i got an email from my dad today.
he's in Africa and i was scared something had happened to him.
but, all is well.
i miss him.
but, i'm way excited for my mom and sister and niece and nephew to come up.
i am so freaking excited.
i tell everyone about it.

boys are stupid. i've been hanging out with a boy lately.
he's sending some seriously mixed signals.
which really suck.
i'd like to know whether he likes me or not.
but...i don't know if i ever will.
so if any boy is reading this i have some advice.
stop leading girls on.
if you like them, like them.
if you don't, then make that clear.
jeez.
it really makes girls feel like crap to me messed with.
i'll fight everyone.

but...there is one boy, in particular who is my favorite.
so, this is a shout out to my friend Steven.
i absolutely ADORE this boy.
i don't know what it is about him, but i want to be around him all the time.
he probably thinks i'm a big weirdy,
but i don't really care.
he's the sweetest. 
me and the roommates always talk about him and how cute he is.
i'm glad he's staying all year. 

that's the end for now.
i have to go to the stupid writing lab. i hope it does't take that long.
i'm not in the mood today.
i'm getting sick and i have a migraine. 
but, on the upside i have nothing to do today.
AND i was a big deb and wore sweats to school.
best idea i've ever had.
