Christmas, New Years, and more.

Okay so as promised from my last blog:  Here is that list I was going to talk about! Here are the pictures from Christmas:

My mom got a gun for Christmas

Me opening my Kindle. Totally surprised for real!

So Christmas was fun! I got my kindle, jeans, a shirt, a purse, a coat, makeup, warm socks, headbands and it was just a lot of fun oh and I got one of those head wrap things that cover your ears: 

Like this! 

Christmas was wonderful! I love being home with my family! This is my last Christmas as a college student! WOO! Kinda sad. Because then I will be all old a responsible for my life.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

More to come

• Okay so I want to lose some weight. I know that this is the typical resolution that most everyone has, but I just need to get back to the gym. So I am not going to diet, I am just going to go to the gym a lot more this semester. 
• I am going to read a lot of books, and now that I have all these classics and stuff -- yeah baby! MORE BOOKS! 
• Get a job, oh yeah -- in Cedar! 
• THEN GET A BIG KID JOB!!!!
• No more family members passing away. 2010 had a lot of rotten things, I am going to make this year better! 
• Read the scriptures and study them more! (I have kind of started this, but I have them on my Kindle now)
• Get kissed. (I am sadly a VL)
• MORE TO COME (I cannot think of more)

MY NEW LIFE PLAN!

Bassically become more spiritual and healthier and just being happier. I know that I am usually a ridiculously happy person, but, I need to really do this. Be happy. 

2011 better be a lot better than 2010. I am going to make it this way! 

I have a mini job in Cedar. Every Tuesday and Thursday I am going to Tend my friend Kirsten's little son because her and her husband both have class at the same time these days. So I am going to get paid about $100 a month. So I am pretty excited. It is from like 8:30-10:00 and I do not have class until 1 I do believe. I am still going to look for a job, and try to stay the summer in Cedar. So we will see how this goes. 

So basically this is all I can think of right now. So I am going to log off for now. 

Until Next Time...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!!

I hope everyone had a LOVELY Christmas time with their loved ones! I hope everyone received and gave everything they wanted and needed! I got lots of fabulous things and gave some good stuff too! Me and other people in Cedar and friend wise will be giving later on! I don't have a lot of money, and I get paid Thursday so that seems about right! BUT this ....

WAS MY GIFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the kindle! I suggest it to EVERYONE!

Until Next time...
Here is a preview of the next blog (just not a lot of time to write it all tonight):

• and many more including my "mini" job! 

Eventful weekend.

This weekend in Salt Lake I had the viewing for my Granny... and that went well. These things are never easy despite the circumstance. Friday we had the funeral, and that was nice as well to see people and also bask in the happy memories, but sad all at the same time. Yesterday I went to Timian's wedding and that was great! It was fun and a nice break from all of the depression this past week with the family. Today I hung out with my friend Crystal which was nice. It is nice to be back at work, however -- I do miss my roommates and Cedar and Alpha Phi a lot. I just need to cherish the moments while I can, cause in a year I am done! My how time flies! Anyway here are some pics!
Until next time...

Goodbyes are never easy…

This morning my beautiful granny Valarie Steadman passed away and returned to our Father in Heaven. She had a joyous reunion with my granddad Calvin Steadman. She also got to greet my grandma and grandpa Paul and Beth Nielsen at the gates of heaven on their anniversary. What a happy reunion that must have been for her. She passed away with Alzheimer's and it is better that she is no longer suffering. I loved her very much, but for the past ten years or so, she had the disease. It makes it hard to deal with loved ones when they have this. But I know that now she is in heaven rejoicing with all of those that have passed on before, and I know that she will be greeting me with open arms when I arrive later on in my life. I love you granny, save a place for me!

Finals Week

So this week is finals week and today was my first final for my Nutrition class. It was at seven in the morning! Who can even get up that early? Well I did. As roommates we got a tree cause Kim wanted one, and we decorated it! It was lots of fun! I still have two more finals and then I am home for the break and I am going to be working back at the Chicken. Life is happening fast, I only have a year left, but all will be well with the world! Here are some pictures. Until next time…

Stranded... in Beaver... well kind of

So the roads are awful... so Haley and I are in Beaver for the night. Not my first choice, but the road is closed near Cedar and well Haley is tired and I would just like to work on homework and stuff. I emailed professors that I have in the morning... school should just cancel itself...

So college is all about the epic experiences right? This one has yet to happen, so now it has. Yay for a sleep over in Beaver with Haley! AND she is kind of a really good friend and who better?
Mmmk until next time...

Two weeks, only TWO MORE WEEKS left!

Okay so I have been thinking that I only have two more weeks left of my final semester as a Junior and Christmas break begins! I have finals and papers due but I can do this! I just gotta buckle down and not dink around. I am going to go back to Cedar tomorrow and then I will clean my room, and make it a study zone and everything else!
Wednesday I have my Nutrition test... then next week I have the epic final. Boo. But its all good. I also have my presentation for Technical Writing but I know I can do that easy!!!
Thursday I have my presentation to the Mayor at City Hall in Cedar with my group... oh goodness... so scary but after that I AM DONE with that class. Although I highly liked my PR writing class..
On Friday I have a 15-25 page paper due, but I think I am gonna rock it! I have started the research, just each day I will work on 3-5 pages of it, and then I will be done by 5pm Friday with that. I am going to take my laptop to school and work on it there as well. Every chance I get will be on this paper.
I think I will just work on a page and study for my tests/work on projects then work on another page... and so on and so forth! Quotes and things like that work out for this.
Next week I have four finals and then I am done so I know that this will be ok!
After that I head back to SLC for almost a complete month and I will be working at Chick-fil-a again which is nice that they are so awesome about letting me come back in the "off seasons" of school. I think that if everything goes according to plan, this will be my last time working there forever... which is kind of sad to think about. I am shooting to get a job in Cedar and work with that  during the summer and then graduate in the Fall and then get a big kid job then see where life takes me from there.
I have never been an advanced planner, but so far this is working for me.
So I think I am going to get off, go pack, take a bath, and then I am going to sleep. I am heading back to Cedar tomorrow, and the weather is supposed to be icky and I need to stay awake for Haley cause she is driving! I know we will be okay because its not supposed to be epic snow, just accumulation of 1-3 inches depending on where it is at! Usually it does not hit the freeways too bad and I think we are leaving before it gets to be too late. I will update you about that drive tomorrow or sometime. Blogging is going to be my "rest" from it all (school, finals, papers, etc).
Until next time...

Just a little home sick

Happy Halloween!

Well today is Halloween and I am not sure when I can get back on blogger to change my back ground so I went from vintage Halloween to the one that it is now.

On Friday my roommates Kim, Maygen, Holly (might as well be one), and I went to the Howel. Paige had to go home to be with her parents we missed her much. I was a Vampire. I was going to be a witch but I decided that I wanted to be a vampire instead. I wore my cheap 50 cent teeth and my cape and black skirt, black boots and black shirt as you can see. I also got to do Andrew's makeup and he was a drag queen fairy. That was fun. I have a picture but not a very good one!
Yesterday we just watched movies all day and went to our favorite Disney Land Maverick and Hot Maverick Man was there in drag. He looked like Cher and it was kinda creepy. Kim went in and took a picture of him and he totally let her and he posed and everything!!!! She sent it to me and I sent it to facebook thinking I was totally ok haha, well my friend tagged him in it! OH MY GOSH how embarrassing because of what the caption said "Hot Maverick Man as Cher" so now he knows... he KNOWS!!!
Anyway today we are now watching the Exorcism of Emily Rose.... super creepy! So I better get going and then work on some homework! Yay!
Until next time...

I do not understand.

So I did not get that job that I had that interview for. I do not know what else to do. I emailed them back asking them what I did wrong... they told me I did nothing wrong, there was just a student with longer experience and all that jazz. I do not understand how someone had more than me! I have been working at my dad's office since I was a kid doing all sorts of fun office assistant stuff, legit. I was not one of those kids that played with the toys, I was put to work. So until next time...

I miss you.

Today I miss you and I don't know why
Sometimes I wonder why I still cry
I understand that you are in a better place
But I cannot help but still want to see your comforting face
Today is not an anniversary of your leaving me
But for some reason I just had to say how you inspired me
I do not know why this sudden urge occurred
It just did and now I sit here an wonder
I will love you forever
I will love you always
You're in my heart every day.
I love you so much
Love ,
Adriana

Grandma and Grandpa

I also am Thinking about you Aunt Cari, even though I have no photo of you, you're still in my heart always! 

October!

Alright so I feel that I am awful at this whole blogging thing, but what can I say? I am trying to be more proficient, I want to update it more, even though I have minimal readers. Meh. I hope everyone likes the new header (if it decides to work!). Well anyway it is now October and it has been a pretty good month! The roommates are still fantastic and Alpha Phi is busy as ever!

Last weekend my mom came to Cedar City for Homecoming and Alumni tea! It was so good to see her. This is me and some of the girls! I got to ride in the truck because I am one of the oldest Alpha Phi girls in the chapter. That was way cool, but it made me feel old! Anyway we also had Idays and my two beautiful little sisters Ling Ling and Devionare got initiated! I just love being a big sister, and I know sometimes I may not be the bomb.com at it, but heavens I do try!

My mom is such a classy lady I am so lucky to have her as my mom. Sometimes we fight but she always is right and I hate that because I am a stubborn person, I must admit. It was so great to have her this weekend its always nice. She started a new job with IHC and she liking that.

This Alumni tea brought in a lot of amazing women and the Beta Gammas were reunited with Gina who is so amazing! It was a great weekend to meet lots of the ladies who initiated me and that was so cool! I also got to meet an older Alumni from Oregon State (about 60-70 I did not know) and another one from University of Utah whom was one of the LAST classes to get initiated there! It made so excited graduate next fall (2011) and join these ladies and get cool stories! I love the Alumni!!

Okay so this is a crappy picture of me but Maygen looks amazing! I am really lucky to have her in my life, I am not sure who I would be living with if Maygen and I had not decided we wanted to be roommates and then meet Paige and Kim. This semester has by far been one of the best because I have great roommates. We have yet to have one dispute, we have had our moments where one will snap but we understand that we are all having some tiny issues personally and then after we say "sorry I snapped its been one of those days" and you just shrug it off. We just have the obnoxious neighbors! If you ever want to read about us you can go to kampmandalay8.blogspot.com. It is pretty EPIC! Kim, Paige, and myself have started going to a new ward because we cannot stand the one we live in. I know that you should not go because of that reason, but also aren't you supposed to feel the spirit? Yeah we don't. So we started going to Professor Heuett's ward, he is a bishop and we love it! We instantly felt the spirit and felt welcomed! We started the scripture reading challenge which is the new testament and I LOVE DOING THIS! Oh man it enriches my life so much! It has helped me in ways that I am starting to see!

Anyway the job hunt is still going on but on Friday (yesterday... well duh) I had an interview at the Facilities management place. It is an on campus job but it is not ON campus, it is over by our apartment complex. I just keep praying and manifesting and I know I can get this job. This is the first time that I have ever had an interview for an on campus job after applying, and NOT getting some dumb email telling me they had this flood of applicants. So I know I will be good at this job I just need to keep praying and manifesting! We will see how this goes!
Well that is all for now I must go! In case the header does not work this is the picture I want for it:

Well... until next time!

Recently

So I am sorry I am bad at blogging! Well I took two new little sisters. I have Ling Ling and Devionare. They are so cute! I also am a granbig and I love it! My family is so cute and we are growing! from 2-5 it is amazing! Also I went on a date a couple of weeks ago with my friend Jaren. School is just busy and Alpha Phi is busy. Next week is Idays and guess who is not in charge.... ME! But my little Kelly is amazing and I am so happy she is in my life! She is getting baptized this weekend and I could not be happier for her! Anyway I need to go but enjoy the pictures!

THE ROOMMATES

Why hello to you from the couch of my home in Sandy! I went home this weekend to just get some stuff done. I love my roommates, but Cedar was kind of getting a little lame. SO I came home to get a reboot so I am ready to go back. See I miss it already! All the fun stuff happens when I am gone!
As roommates we took roommate pictures and it was so much fun! I just love these girls, we do almost everything together! It is so nice to not have roommate drama hardly ever!
Well we had rush last week and we got 46 girls! This is the biggest pledge class Theta Sigma has EVER had! Oh man alive! Some of us are going to have to take 2 littles, and all of us that can will HAVE to take a little. I am super nervous cause I got Kelly who is so amazing and I just love her, what if the new one hates me? Kelly and I are just getting to know each other more. So hopefully all is well on that home front.
This semester is going great, I love my classes and my professors are grand! Here are some photos:

THE 46 LOVELY LADIES

THE LAST OF THE GOOD OLD ALPHA PHI HOUSE

OH MY PLEDGE CLASS! 

FAMILY LOVE

So as you can see I am just living it up! This is my last year and I cannot believe it at all! Oh man I got to live it up! I missed the first football game tonight but they WON! Oh man I love football! So I cannot wait until the next game! Well I better go now.

Until next time...

School... and a scholarship!

This week has been pretty good for school. Being a Communications Major is a win or lose situation. Either your first week of school is easy, and progressively gets harder... or its easy for the whole semester, or it just starts hard and never gets easier. SO FAR it has been easy, some minor assignments like tweaking my Resume, meeting people in class, doing a PR news release... so far so good. I would not mind if it got a little bit more challenging, but not for this next week (which is rush and super busy). I know that it will be okay, but I am taking some harder classes, and I just need to manage my time wisely. I have done it many times before! I of course am awaiting two more books out of the three I bought online, which totally saves me $200 from the bookstore. I have promoted the bookstore before but not for the texts... I had to do this for a project, but ya know it is a good place, just sometimes you do not want to pay $100 for a USED book! Blech.

These are the courses I am taking:

• Nutiriton at 8am with Schmidt on MWF
• Thinking and Listening Critically with Treanor at 10 am MWF
• Communication Studies with Stein at 1pm on MWF
• Technical Writing with Treanor at 2pm on MWF
• Public Relation Writing with Ben Wyeth on TR

This is my second time taking Communication Research but I am taking it from a different professor so we will hopefully pass so next semester I can do my thesis AHHHHH! Next semester I am going to be a SENIOR! Oh man time has gone by quickly! 

Can I just say I am so grateful for Chick-fil-a? I GOT MY SCHOLARSHIP!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!! BUDDY!!!! It is for $1000 dollars and I am going to be published in a paper (I think Deseret News and Salt Lake Tribune) so I will link that here when it happens. I also have the opportunity to receive the Truett Cathy Scholarship of an additional $1000!! SO I will keep everyone posted! 

ALSO on Monday I have a job interview. I will give more details about how that goes, and the description of the job. NO WORRIES :D 

Okay I am going to go celebrate by getting ready and then go window shopping lol! :) 

Until next time!
