Resistance

My biggest resistance this semester at BYU is probably time management. I have this problem where I don't want to study or do homework when I have something better to do, which is most of the time. So it's really hard for me to do homework that I should be doing when I know I could be out playing. I've also had a really hard time with this whole "studying" concept. I've never studied for anything before. Like ever. And now my classes are hard and if I don't study for my tests then I am SOL. I still haven't overcome either of these things yet, but I'm working on it. I think a lot of it just takes some getting used to. It also probably has something to do with my frame of mind; just me thinking, "okay, what is really more important? what's going to matter in the long run?" And once I can do that every time i have homework to do I think I'll be able to get more done. Another help with that would be to go to bed earlier so that I can conentrate on my reading and such.

All Hallow's Eve

My halloween was such a funny day. I had plans to hang out with my boyfriend and we weren't dressing up, but my roommates were dressing up, and so they needed costumes. Well who better to go to when you need a costume than Jenn? I had already provided the amazing 80's aerobic outfits for the ward party, so they knew i had a wealth of goods. So i dressed Josie in my hot 80's bra, blue net top, fish nets, hot shorts, and a skirt. It was beautiful. And then I went to dinner with Adam and we ate at this Indian place, and the people there were so funny. First of all, the Indian guys working there were way funny. They were all wearing these masks and hoods that kind of creeped me out, but then they would come talk in their Indian accents and I had to try so hard not to laugh. Then there were these people at the table next to us that were so funny. It was this kind of older guy dressed as a sorcerer or something, I'm not really sure what, but he was totally wearing a dress and this long white wig, and had glitter all over his face. And then his date was a girl wearing kind of a matching costume, it was a medieval looking dress, but she looked normal because she's a girl. But he kept making her take pictures of him in his costume and kept making weird comments about her being brown. So awkward. I just laughed at them the whole time, they were so funny. And then we went back to Adam's and his friend Clay came over and saw the pumpkins in the corner and was like, hey I learned how to make a dessert with pumpkin while I was on my mission. So we went to Macey's to get the stuff he needed and came back so he could make it and he cooked while Adam and I carved Harold Delbert. Then one of Adam's roommates came home with his friends and so it was me and like seven guys. So we're just hanging out and then one of the guys was like, hey can we watch a movie? And we were like yeah sure. So what movie do a the guys pick out? Tristan and Isolde, total chick flick. So funny. So we watched that and then went home. The end.
