Why I couldn't concentrate while taking my test

Yesterday I took my American Heritage final exam.
BUT I didn't take it in the Testing Center because some tests they have in the Joseph Smith Building Auditorium. Awesome...
So I had to crawl over people and trip and whatnot just to get to an empty seat. And the desks are tiny. It was fantastic.
So I'm starting my test and I'm feeling alright about it. I'm in about 30 mins when I decide to take a mental break and glance around, stretch, and just chillax a bit. And I notice the guy in front of me. And on his neck there is a HUGE. BIG. JUICY. ZIT.
I almost gagged right there on the spot. Like people, this things was BIGGGGGG. And it looked ready to go.
To add to that image, the guy right next to me had really bad breathe and was coughing about every 20 seconds. So I was practically leaning on Megan sitting next to me (which she questioned me about later haha) just to protect my nose and stomach.
Now I wanted to put up a clip from "Osmosis Jones" of when Tom Hank's ginormous face zit explodes onto the lady's face but I couldn't find it. But just imagine it... :)

I'LL BE HOME TOMORROW!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

just a fun list of some big pet peeves

here is a list of some of my biggest pet peeves:

- when people talk on the phone while using the bathroom. especially public bathrooms.

- when people do not wash their hands after using the bathroom. again especially public bathrooms.

- when girls walk in a way that makes their booty sway. for real? can't you just walk normal?

- girls who shriek and laugh very shrilly and loud.

- people who only talk about themselves. and who bring anything you say back to themselves.

- people who brag.

- people who bail on previous plans made.

- girls who always have to look cute. always. i mean come on! there's gotta be a day you don't wanna take 2 hours to get ready in the morning!

- girls who flirt with any and every guy.

- people who tell secrets and inside jokes around you and won't fill you in.

ummmm i'm sure there's many many more but yeah, that's it for tonight.

fill me in on some of your big pet peeves! :)

An apple a day...

So today in the Wilk (Wilkinson Center) there were stands of people everywhere handing out nice shiny apples to students and wishing them good luck on their exams. I do not enjoy confrontation so I snuck on by. But later I was sitting and enjoying my lunchable and watching Dave Barnes youtube videos when a man came up and offered me a delicious-looking apple saying "Here's an apple to eat with your lunch! Good luck on your exams!" so I smiled and said "Thank you!" and he left.
This is what I was expecting:

I happily bit into my apple and noticed a little brown spot but thought to myself "I will not be picky and I will enjoy this apple" so I bit into it again. And had to spit it out because this is what I saw:


So of course my next thought is "I wonder what this says about how my exams will turn out... dang it...

A BYU Curse?

There are approximately 30 million students currently enrolled at BYU. I would say that at least 1/3 of them are either engages or married. Now you may be thinking that I'm going to talk about the curse that this is the "marriage school", FALSE.
The curse I am talking about is the one that affects pretty much all single female students here.
Scenario:
You walk into class and see an open seat by a really cute guy so you sit in it. You introduce yourself and you both start talking. He seems to be a great guy and so incredibly nice you can hardly believe it. Class ends and you are getting up to leave. That's when you notice his left hand. And the little band he has on his ring finger there. DANG IT.

This is the curse. It seems that anytime I meet or even see a cute guy I now automatically look to his left hand to see if I'm even allowed to be attracted to him. Darn you girls who got to them first.

christmas time is here

hey family,
i know it's mostly you guys who read this anyway so i'm addressing this to you.
because i am poor and i have no means of getting "real" presents, i need some ideas of things you might enjoy receiving.
maybe some pretzels? or gushers?
but just comment and throw out some things you like, whether or not i can get them for you, it'd be interesting to see!

love you all

less than three,
ali
