Bobo Halloween

This was from a while ago, but I forgot to post it until now. This is pretty much one of the funniest things I have seen him do. :)

Bobo

Work!

We just got out new hours for next semester. I am pleased to report that I have the 5 out of the six best hours to have at the pool. (Meaning that I am not going to have to work during those hours as noone is usually in the pool). WAHOOO!!!!

Group Date

We had a big group date the other night. We went to Divine Comedy and then made gingerbread houses. Rob Perry and my friend Aubrey, Tera and Aaron, Chrissy and Nate, Andrew and Me, and even Geoff and Jonathan came and played for a bit.

26-23

Dereset Duel time. It was quite the exciting game--I am glad that I went. There is nothing like going to football games for the team that you love, getting free things, and then winning--in overtime. How much better could it get? (Sorry Trevor, I know you would have liked to see a different outcome but alas...) But we won!!

Our winning game faces (we practiced in the third quarter so we would be ready)

It started out really warm and dropped quickly. I was sure glad I brought a coat to be warm.

Storming the field :)

After, we all stormed the field as any true fan would do...and somewhere in the midst of that activity I lost my phone. So, we sat around the lost and found until it was returned. Thank goodness that it was!! To celebrate, Geoff, Jonathan, Chrissy and I went to the Cannon center to get some hot chocolate (it was freezing) but found that it was closed. So we just went back to their apartment, made cookies and played games with the whole lot of them. Overall, a good night.

Temple Square

We were invited by a friend to go see the Joseph Smith movie and look at the temple lights with as bunch of people. (It was an unofficial ward activity). I wanted to go at least once this season and so I called Geoff and told him to come with any of his roommates. Jon came. So Chrissy, Jonathan, Geoff and I drove up to Salt Lake. Unfortunately, due to construction and a lack of Me paying attention we missed the exit twice. We made it in time for the movie though.

I love the fact that these movies can only bring more strength to my testimony. I love the fact that the movie breaks my heart. It makes me cry. I loved seeing all the females walking out of the theater crying and all the males looking warily at the females they are with. But the story is wonderful. I truly can feel pain for what they had to go through. And the worst part is, it is all true. Poor Joseph Smith. He went through so much to bring the gospel to all of us. Lucky for him though, his election is made sure in section 132 of the Doctrine and Covenants. He definitely deserved it.

After that we walked around temple square for a bit and looked at the lights. It is so beautiful up there and I am so glad that the temple celebrates the birth of Christ in the way that it does. You cannot leave temple grounds without feeling more peaceful and joyous during any part of the year, but especially during the Christmas season with the lights and creches.

Me Chrissy, Jonathan and Geoff enjoying the beautiful scene.

I think Jonathan is attempting to do a backflip in this one...who really knows though? ;)

Part of the big group that came.

My bestest bud.

They have cute creches from all sorts of cultures and people. To noones suprise. I wanted a picture with the Japanese one. Here is to you my loving sweet asian people.

We were invited after to go to Stephanie Yano's Aunt's house for some food and Hot cocoa, but we decided not to risk getting lost so we went to 7/11 and got doughnuts and hot chocolate there.

Some random thoughts

Perhaps this is a little too personal to post here, but I have been thinking a lot about it and wanted to write it down.

I was talking to a new friend of mine the other night about my love life. This friend came an interesting conclusion that basically I think summed Jamie's love life up.

• I never have to work for the guys I date. Somehow, boys just come to me and want to date me. I was then compared to a rich kid's view on money. They do not work for money, so they don't appreciate it. (And yes, wow, I sound really arrogant but I am attempting to do this humbly--because it is actually a very big point of stress for me. It's not as fun as it sounds).
• They then told me that when I find someone I am really interested in, I will not know how to react. True story, those guys I think are cute and awesome, I do not know how to react around them.

I thought that was interesting and although perhaps it is a little extreme, I think that is a reason why I do not have the ability to stay interested for long. Mom is always telling me to that I need to serve the person I am dating more. When I do, I suddenly am somewhat interested in them again.

• This friend then challenged me to not flirt all week. Since my personality is friendly/ flirtacious, I knew this would be a difficult challenge. But I want to prove that I am more than that and so I told this friend I would take them up on it.

I am more than just a flirt though. Most people do not see the deeper part of my personality because I do not get close enough to people to show them. And while my family may disagree with my thoughts, this is just my new thinking.

Web 2.0

This makes it really easy to communicate when not in the classroom.
Here, you can connect to your students easier over the web. There are sites where you will be held accountable for time of submission, and can do all sorts of things. That is really nice that we can do this. I liked google wave but it was kind of weird.

I did like that youtube was part of it along with photobucket and blogging because I already use them and so it gave me some interest in learning more about this web 2.0.
