The SLC airport is not my friend!

In case anyone wants to know I hate the snow!!

I was so excited to go to Santa Barbara today! Planned to go to Judy’s and leave me car there and Aunt Judy would take me to the airport. Well I got up this morning to a snow covered parking lot and snow covered roads. But that didn’t stop me! I carried my stuff down 3 flights of stairs my suit case was only 45lbs (Dad aren’t you proud it’s light this year!) and dragged it all through the snow. Then I was off to Judy’s. It took me 40 min to get there and it is usually about 20. When I got to Judy’s she was so cute outside in her little beanie clearing her driveway! The snow was horrible!! It took us a little over an hour to get to the airport; most of it was spent trying to get through I-15. I was starting to get worried that I would not make my flight. I called a few times in the car and my flight was on time. Luckily we made it! When I got to the airport my flight was DELAYED!!!!! My flight was supposed to leave at 11:20 am it is now almost 1pm and I am hoping that I get to leave within the next hour.
I have done all I can think of to entertain myself while sitting her for 3 hours. I have people watched, and that was great when the UCSB basketball team was sitting across from me :) and played online. Searched for jobs, and talked to people on facebook, and talked on the phone! (Thank you creators of facebook!)
So thank you to all to have entertained me today, and Sally’s Mom for being so excited to answer the phone when I called Sally! It made my day! :)

Cross your fingers that my flight gets here soon!! And GOOD LUCK to all who are flying this weekend!!

The Good, The Bad... The Rat OR The Bird!!

So in the past 24 hours allot has changed for me. I will not be graduating now until April instead of in... 4 days, I applied for a job I am excited about, had a rat mouse and bird living in my apartment.

So here is the story...

Graduation. As many of you know my law class was that hardest and most ridiculous class ever! Our grade is based 90% on 2 test and 10% on "participation". The average for the 1st test was a 50% and average for the 2nd was I think a 60%. He was "nice" (and I use that term loosely) and said he would drop one test but our final was comprehensive. I am not a good test taker so this class was not good for me. Well long story short, I didn’t do so hot. And I am not going to pass... BUT the graduation requirements have changed for spring 09 class (that is what I will be now) and I do not need to take that class again! I just have to take any upper division class and it can be anything that I want! I will also be saving my parents money by going to school next semester opposed to the cost of have to live without having a job. (Sounds funny, but trust me... it makes sense) So next semester I will be taking 1 class and maybe yoga, maybe some dance classes... just a fun nice semester!

Job
I applied for a job helping to be the event coordinator on campus for on campus events. I would be working with student government and helping the activities person so coordinate. So if I understand the job description right it seems to be a really fun job! Cross your fingers! :)

The Mouse the Rat and the Bird
I came home from school on Thursday and heard allot of racket in the hot water heater closet and what sounded like little feet, so the girl that I am I ran down the hall to my room to try to get away from it ( like that was going to make a difference). I then heard it running in the vent! It was really loud and sounded big so I deiced it was a rat. After talking to my family the convinced me it was probably a mouse. I called my management and that were supposed to take care of it. I then left my apartment for the day because I was creped out. I got home late that night and told my roommate what happened and to see if she had heard the mouse. She said that she had not. I told her if she did to let me know and I would call management (she doesn’t speak much English so I told her I would take care of it :) ) About 10 this morning I heard a knock on my bedroom door, it was my roommate who looked like she was going to cry! She heard the mouse in her bathroom behind the washer and dryer. I called management again, and then came over shortly after. After some investigation work, there was NO rat NO mouse.... but a BIRD stuck in the wall!!!!!! We don’t know how it got there, but it was there. I left for a few hours to run errands, but when I came back the bird was gone. I don’t know how they got it out, or how it got in there, but apparently this happens often in this complex. I do know that they did not hurt the bird and the bird my roommate and I named George is safely flying into someone else apartment now!

This is the Good, the Bad, and Bird, story of my life this week!

New Post...Because Becky told me too!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Holiday season so far! I had a great thanksgiving here with the cousins. This past 2 weeks Aunt Joyce has been here and I went out almost every day with the cousins. It has been so much fun! I love it!

So, Monday night I took Kaitlyn to the UVU ballroom concert with me. I wanted to go and see all my old team members and support them, but I didn’t want to go alone. I thought this would be some good cousin bonding time. We had a blast! We went to Cafe Rio before the concert and then stood in line waiting for the doors to open and she got to meet a bunch of my friends. It was great to see everyone and the show was great! They had a lot of new numbers and it was really fun to watch! I hope she had as much fun as I did!!

I will be done with my finals on Tuesday! YAY!! I am almost done with my capstone project I have to pick up some pictures from Costco tomorrow and then get a few things bound and I am done with my Internship and Capstone!! :)

I have started studying for my Law final which is the death of me!! Please pray for me!! It is the hardest test I have ever taken!

I am no longer working at the 23rd floor. :( It is sad and I miss the girls that I work with but I am planning on seeing them soon, so it is alright. I did my big event and it was tons of fun! I was up on a ladder hanging like 1000 Chinese lanterns for about 4 hours. But it all looked great. The pictures don’t do it justice! I will get the pics up soon. I just need to load them on my computer.

I leave on the 18th to go and spend 10 days in Santa Barbara with my wonderful Sister and Brother-in-law! And of course little Chino! I can't wait!!

Sorry it took forever to post, but that is what is going on in my life! I will let you all know how finals go!! Please pray for me and my law final!! :) Hehe!

Love you all
MERRY CHRISTMAS
