Spring Semester, Here I Come

One thing that they should really think about fixing is the byu-idaho website. I think this is the first time that I have actually hated byu-idaho. well just their website. when everyone tried to get onto their account the server just didnt know what to do with everyone and crashed. thankfully my friend, kyle's, computer was working and he was on facebook at the time. so he registered for my classes. i just dont want him getting the wrong idea that i like him back. yeah thats right i said back. he has already asked me out to dinner. and we have a month!!! were not even up there!!! but anyways.....i owe him a back scratch for registering for me. but here are my classes.

Beginning German M/T/W/Th 10:15-11:15

Science Foundation M/W 11:30-12:30

Child Development M/W 3:15-4:45

World Foundation T/Th 12:45-1:45

Book of Mormon T/Th 8:00-10:00

The reason I am taking German is because 1. I need 12 credits and I only had 9 without German. 2. It'll be fun, because how many people do you know that learn how to speak German, besides foreign exchange students and people that are taking this class too. 3. Sure it might be the death of me for a class that I don't even need but it'll be a challenge.

I really needed a CHILD 150 class because that actually gets me into a lot of the other classes that I need for my major. But the CHILD 120 class that I'm taking should be a good start. I'm debating between two minors. I know I shouldn't be too worried about my minor but all of the minors seem really interesting. There's clothing construction which would be really nice for when I decided to make doll clothes for my preschool. Or I could minor in Culinary Arts which would be more practical because I could use this in my preschool or at home. I think I just actually convinced myself which minor I want. Culinary here I come. Oh and the picture is Rylie and Kenzie.

Blood Drive!

Hello!! Yes I donated a pint of blood. And yes I was terrified, but I did it. I got there and they asked me to fill out this paper work and that paper work. Then I went into the booth to get all of medical stuff out of the way and answered a couple questions to make sure I didn't have any foreign or sexually transmitted diseases and all those type of things. So, then I went out onto the table to give to the needy that need my AB blood. (my mother still doesn't know if it's positive or negative, but I figured they wont care too much, just as long as it's healthy blood.) so then I am placed right next to my boss, Joyce, who is asking how she is doing and making sure she is perfectly healthy to give blood. I'm probably there for about 10 minutes just squeezing the ball every 5 seconds and I think I am doing okay and then I look down at my arm and it's just a nasty yellow puke color. Not something that would look pleasant on any dress for a bridesmaid, but then I felt a little bit better when almost everyone else had this happening to their arm. So then I just laid on the table for awhile and then got up and started walking to where the food and water was.

[{CRAZY PART!!}]

I am just sitting there as a normal human being when I suddenly start to see kind of black dots everywhere and just kind of a fade out to black. and apparently i said "i dont feel so good" and then put my bottle of water down and just passed out. When I woke up though there was two nurses, some other people asking if I knew where I was and what my first name was. I was sooooo very out of it. And then I just started to cry and the lady thought it was because I was embarrassed but I was just scared. It's a scary thing to faint or pass out. But thankfully I was surrounded by people who knew my mother's cell phone number So President Wynder called my mother and told her that I just wasn't feeling well. Little did she know that I had full on passed out. And according to everyone the nurses ran over as fast as anyone could run and put me on a gurney and gave me some privacy with a portable wall. Some say that's there job. I say, they were just really bored taking blood from people.

Nothing to much happening

I dont know the exact purpose of a blog other than posting things that are post worthy. sooo...in other news. i am applying to housing for rexburg!! i was going to live in kensington but it was too expensive and im going to try out Abbington House. it's the cutest little house, i love it to death!!! its yellow with white shutters. im going to buy it out when im rich and really rich.



but not the point of this pointless blog. im sitting in my house, downstairs, on my laptop, just relaxing. i hate relaxing. what has my life come to!!! i have no social life. all my friends are gone. i have 9 weeks left in california. then im off to my second favorite place!!! (that's rexburg) i dont know why i love it so much. i did miss my family and the warm weather buuuuuuuuut.....i have a special place for rexburg. it is because i only spent 3 1/2 months there and it was just new and exciting. but i hope i have the same feelings for rexburg as it does for me when i go back. but im rooming with kendra!!! the third love of my life. yeaaah!!! and erin!!!! we will see if she joins us. she BETTER.

To leave on a worthy note....I will write a blog at 2 A.M.

It takes me awhile to wind down from working, and since I didn't get off work until 1145 it will take me awhile. I already finished my english essay, checked my facebook (i feel like that's always on my to do list, when it really shouldn't be there, so its more of an addiction) and checked my email.

but i have now decided to pick the subject of this post


BECCA

she has seriously stuck with me since 7th grade. i do not know how she did it. there was me always ditching her for my new found craze....boys. and then thinking that i should hang out with the "cool" crowd, and then realized im not "cool". there has been so many times where she could have said, "you know what karina i am done with you, you are not my friend anymore." but you know what? she didnt!!! and i love her for that. i idolize her for that. not in the idolizing way that i put her infront of God or Jesus, but she's up there.

my senior year i did not think i would get along with her at all and neither did she. but by some miracle we became closer than we have ever been. maybe it was because we were stuck in cypress for so long that everyone seemed like they needed to their head checked and me and becca just settled for eachother. oh goodness i just realized it sounds like shes my wife or something. nope....if only.

but im going to see her in less than a week!! we are going to take a road trip back home. and im excited!!! i will probably sleep the whole way, and she will love me for that. but maybe not. i just miss her!

At Home From Thanksgiving

I get home. Three o'clock in the morning to find my door to the apartment in Rexburg locked. No worries, I have a key. No one is home. I didnt expect anyone to be home, I just assumed they would all be back Sunday in the morning or afternoon. So I make a Welcome Back sign, go to church, come back, and still.....

NO ONE IS HOME

I do not like being alone. Why isn't anyone home? I don't understand. I am so sick of listening to music and watching youtube videos by myself. And being in an apartment that is meant for six girls gets really lonely when there's only one person, and that person is you. Never will I rent an apartment by myself. Or live by myself. It's so creepy. Why haven't my roommates come home yet???

I MISSSSSS THEM!!!

Civil Defense Caves

oh yes. theres caves in idaho. who knew??

so the point of these caves is to explore, learn about caves, and best of off....you guessed it.

HIDE and GO seek.

what you do is you get glow sticks, break them open and splatter them across the rock pile in the cave. then you splatter yourself. then the best part!! after your all done splattering then you pick someone to be it, and then while the person thats it counts, everyone else goes and hides where the splattered rocks are. so everyone else blends in. fun right? right?

yeaaaaaaaaaahh.

today we (lauren, kelsey, seth, and jordan) went to the caves. first we got lost for awhile. then right before we got there yours truly had to go to the bathroom. in the wilderness. and so that set off a chain of events. lauren needed to go, then the boys, and kelsey was left outta the go to the bathroom in the wilderness trend. and then we went down in the caves with our version of our flashlights that were a light keychain, light saber iphone, and cellphone light. woooo hoooo. and then we played the game, we played four rounds, and jordan stepped on my head along with seths head. so funny. and then we got out of the caves. and then headed back. but on our way back there was a horse at the edge of the fence near the road. i had to pet it, i just had to. of course this horse doesnt trust me, but i touched it! and i wannnnna horse. and then we went to the crossroads, had a grand old time, and then went to DI. and yada yada yada...blah blah blah.

and the rest is history!

i got to touch a horse.
