Ice Blocking in the Dead of Winter

I have a cold. It is incredibly annoying.

This weekend was the K-Bull 93/Huntsman Cancer Foundation Radio-A-Thon. That was basically my life. I sat around and watched people answer phones, answered one call, picked up bottled water, picked up lunch, and sat around some more. Oh well. I needed the hours and I can't really complain. The K-Bull 93 people were incredibly fun to work with. The director of programming decided I was his Radio-A-Thon boyfriend. He is probably in his late forties and uses words like "Utahrd."

Last night after my ten hour day of Radio-A-Thon and then seeing Blind Side for the third time for Nathan's birthday, I went ice blocking with friends. This ended up being the ice getting thrown to the side and people sliding down without it. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. At one point, Catie was literally rolling down the hill and at another point, Joe grabbed Katie and they both shot down the hill. I didn't do a whole lot of sliding mostly because I was already freezing. However, when I did, I looked something like a caterpillar and my butt almost froze off. I think this is why I have a cold...

A Day of Blah

Today was incredibly blah-ish. I woke up incredibly tired and had to plan a lesson for my primary girls. At church, I would be teaching the lesson and completely forget what I was saying or occasionally even how to speak. Sufficeth to say, I made it through church alive.

The rest of my day has gone about the same way. I took a nap and dreamed about buying stuff off of people before they die and then receiving it after they do. It was all jewelry and pretty cool jewelry at that. I ate dinner, had an emotional breakdown, and have been putting labels on postcards since then. My emotional breakdown was caused from two reasons. The first reason is that I got basically no sleep last week. The second reason is that completing 480 in the next three months is freaking me out. I think I may have to go on anxiety medication. Sad.

Despite this, I continue to try to keep a positive attitude. My mother walked into my room yesterday with mint green towels for "when I move out." I think she is starting to enjoy that idea. I only hope that I can keep my job through the entire semester so that when I graduate, I am not jobless. Also, my dog is hilarious. Yesterday, he was freaking out as I blew bubbles in his face. This may very well be one of my new favorite pasttimes.

The End Leading to a New Beginning

This is hopefully the concluding semester of my undergraduate career. The following three months are going to be complete hell as I try to juggle a job as well as find the time to complete 480 hours of an unpaid internship. I figure that whatever happens, my life tends to be at least somewhat interesting and because of this, I'm going to document it. As I always say, there is no sanity to the chaos that is my life.
