facebook addict

thats me! i dont know why it is, but it just pains me to admit it that im addicted. especially at school, its even worse! i swear im busy at school, its just hard when i have to use my computer for everything, and all i have to do is click: NEW TAB. easy as that. and its even harder when conversations include things about facebook such as status updates, picture comments, yada yada yada.

but good news, my laptop actually works. i had to completely wipe it all out, but its still good. as long as its working im good. i didnt lose anything important, so im good.

actually i dont really have anything else to say. actually this blog is really about nothing.

goodnight world. thats me and kelsey. shes actually not my roommate, but she still visits me.

School....is great??

It has been just okay. I love my teacher and my class discussions, but homework? Not so much. My favorite class would have to be World Foundations class. It's a lot of work but it's college, it's a lot of work!!! I'm only registered for nine credits and it's not because I'm lazy, the classes that I needed were all full. The school's getting more and more kids coming in so that's no bueno for me, who is still a freshmen, at the bottom of the food chain, and gets to register last.

I changed my major to architecture, so no more Child Development. The reason for that was because working at a daycare, watching my nieces, and being a nanny made me realize that as much as I love other kids, I want to give my children the most love. Yes, it seems too selfish to say, but that's what I want to do. So Architecture is something that seems pretty interesting to me, and I know it's a lot of work, and it's being a type of engineer which I wanted to avoid. But it's in my blood. And I would like to have a challenge other than something like memorize the developmental stages of a toddler. I want something fresh in my mind, and who knows....it could being an architect? or stay at home mom? (hopefully not) or flight attendant? (that would be nice, yes?)

But my house is wonderful here in Rexburg, Idaho. It sure has its kinks, like there's a special way to open the front door because it expands and contracts due to the weather, the hot water went out one night and that calls for a cold shower, the paint peels off, the lights occasionally flicker when it's hailing, and the fridge sometimes doesn't close all the way. But you know what? I freaking love this house to death! It is so adorable, these kinks do not bother me at all and I love all my roommates. They are so lovable, always want to have a good time, and are the sweetest people ever! We mesh in our own different ways, but I feel bad because since there are 10 girls upstairs, I can never remember who I tell what stories. I usually start talking about an inside joke that was with someone else to someone else, and they are definitely lost. I'll get the hang of it in a little bit.

School's great, life is great, I'm coming to visit California for my 19th birthday! (I can't believe I'm going to be freaking 19!!) and I miss Chris. That is all.

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.

thats all.

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!
