Best News Ever!

No, this has nothing to do with my eternal progression and salvation.

BUT, it's second best. I was supposed to have a paper due Wednesday. My teacher canceled it! Hooray for teachers who are lazy!

Why, oh why, oh why-o?

As I walked to go home this afternoon I ran into a friend and complained that I didn’t know what to do with the afternoon because I had so much to do this weekend and won’t be doing it. I told him I didn’t know what to do, go home or go to the library and work on my Edgar Allan Poe paper (which I have yet to get any real progress on). He looked at me like, “Lauren, are you really asking me what you should do?” I said, “Ok, I know the right answer,” before he could tell me in words what he was thinking. When we finished talking started backing away to walk down to my apartment. I decided that I was indeed going to go home instead of heading to the library. I announced it and immediately knew I should turn my butt around and head over to the library. I was given “the look” and I shuffled on back into the HBLL. I’m a pushover. I suppose though if the peer pressure is making me do the right things its ok. And now, instead of working on my paper I am gchatting and blogging. The two things that constantly keep me from doing my work.

All I really want to do now is:
1. Eat the ice cream that’s in my freezer.
2. Get a pedicure.
3. Watch Oprah. I haven’t in months and it’s on in 25 minutes. Whoops, shouldn’t have reminded myself of goodies like that.
4. Take a shower. I just can’t do night before showers. I never feel as fresh.
5. Be anywhere but the library.

No no no!

I don't want to do anything! I can't decide if it's because I just did school for a year straight or what. But I'm behind in all my classes. I am able to get my papers in, tests taken (if they're late days) and do my homework, but I don't want to do it. I wish I could just audit all my classes. I want to learn but I don't want to work. I must just be really lazy.

Things I don't like:
1. A broken dryer. I have to run it three times to get dry clothes but I often forget that they're in there and now all my clothes smell slightly moldy, but I don't want to wash them again because it'll just be a vicious cycle.
2. Flossing. I hate flossing my teeth. It needs to be done. I have "watch" areas between them and I don't want to have another cavity. But, I still don't like doing it.
3. Muffin top. Who likes it? 'Nuf said.
4. Not having an email. I don't care if the email I'm getting is from BYU or the Humanities Club (which I accidentally joined) or the MTC begging for Polish speakers to come volunteer. I just don't like not having something in my in box.
5. Going to bed late. Because then I can't get up early. I read (for fun, not smart when you aren't motivated to do actual homework) until 1:00 last night, but I had the intentions of getting up early to work on my book for Bookbinding. Didn't happen. I snoozed until 9 and then was late for work at 10.
6. Having friends living far away.
7. Not having any texts or messages when I emerge from the abyss known as the JFSB basement.
8. Waterproof mascara.
9. Gross toenails that aren't painted. Mine are in desperate need of a new paint job, but we're entering closed toed shoe weather and it just seems borderline pointless.
10. A messy room. Mine is out of control right now. No motivation for school= no motivation to clean either.

Things I like:
1. Jaymay. I have been loving a song by her called "Corduroy" for about six months now and had no idea who it was by. Thanks to Pandora and a slow afternoon at work I know it's now Jaymay.
2. Pushing Daisies. There is a new episode tonight and I'm really excited about it.
3. Constant emails and gchats with Amy and Erin throughout the day. It makes me happy. And I hate it when 3:00 pm comes because that means it's 5:00 pm in DC and Amy is off work.
4. The announcement of the temple in Rome. That gives me hope that someday the church will grow in other stubbornly Catholic countries like Poland!
5. Ben and Jerry's Banana Split
6. Talking on the phone to people who can totally relate to me right now.
7. Blogstalking. I may do it entirely too much.
8. Having my own room. It's heaven. I love my roommates and I love my alone time. It's the best of both worlds.
9. Being done with my homework but I have yet to experience that as of recently.
10. Getting enough sleep. I got enough last night and it was so nice and I think it made me more upbeat today and I didn't get as tired in class!

Just do it



Though I'm not a huge fan of celebrities being so political, I think this is good.

Yum!

Today was an interesting day, food wise. I woke up late and practically jumped out of bed and into the shower. I rushed to work this morning stopping to grab a yogurt as I ran out the door. But when I got to work, I almost immediately delved into the candy bowl full of Skittles. I ate so many that by the end of the morning I swear I looked like this guy:



I was definitely feeling a little sick from all the Skittles I had (which is a lot when you start at 8:30 in the morning). So I decided to get a salad for lunch until Nathan persuaded me to procrastinate writing my research paper proposal and get J-dawgs with him. So of course I got one! Not only do I love procrastinating, but I love J-dawgs, and I love hanging out with Nate! But despite the tastiness that my tummy was enjoying today, the best part was finishing class tonight and having my cereal.

I love cereal! I could eat any kind and I could probably eat it for every single meal. It is after all a meal and a beverage in one. I love it so much, I wish this was me:



Maybe just with the big bowl, not so much the ugly 80's hair and goofy facial expression.

I'm thinking that tomorrow I should eat some vegetables because when I eat too much junk I want more and more, and all I want right now is a big bowl of ice cream, or maybe some more cereal.

It's October!

And I just had a moment of panic!

I don't know what to be for Halloween!

I don't want a repeat of last year!

HELP!

Pain

I hurt. Everything hurts. Ok, maybe everything that involves my left leg but I'm sore. I think I pulled my hamstring last night at my football game. I'm now a slow movin' grandma style walker. I've been popping ibuprofen (why is it spelled like that?) today and if I don't I have shooting pains down my leg which slowly turn into just aches. BUT, the best part of the whole story is that I still came up with the flag. Because I have an excellent hidden talent. So after almost doing the splits and laying flat on my back, not yet feeling the pain because I had some serious adrenaline, I got up then eventually hobbled off the field feeling slight pain and then wreching pain this morning when I woke up. But, I had got the flag, and that's all that matters right?
