perchance to dream

I had to make this video as part of my final for a class that answers the question: "What does it mean to be an English teacher?" This is my answer...



Definitely the best final I've ever taken :)

oops

So today, the last day of my LDS Marriage and Family class, my professor mentioned something about walking through the tunnels after General Conference. Which of course lead me to wonder- why would he be in the tunnels? And why does he keep mentioning all the conversations he's had with General Authorities. I did a little research- apparently he's the second counselor in the Sunday School General Presidency. I had no idea. Wow- talk about being busy.

on stupidity

a conversation overheard on the campus of Brigham Young University near the SWKT:

guy 1: so where are you from?
guy 2: i'm from Colorado.
guy 1: oh. (laughs) I have no idea where that is.
guy 2: it's the rectangle right to the east of utah.
guy 1: oh! i'm from arizona.

true story.

the deed is done

I did it- I finally cut my hair. After months of talking about it, it's finally been done.

Before:

And after! No- I did not donate my hair- it was in awful condition because it had not been cut for a year.
Yes- I do like it. In fact, I love it! It's totally liberating to cut so much off and I love the ease of short hair.

Next step- bangs.

i heart

I love my school- and this is just one of the many reasons:




Happy Harry Potter 7 release day! (ps- It's amazing!)

latest obsession

This song is my newest obsession. I love Carrie Underwood and I LOVE Chronicles of Narnia and cannot wait for the latest movie to come out December 10!

to cut or not to cut?

My hair is long. As in really long. As in- longer than it has ever been in my 22 years of life. And now I am sick of it. I want it gone. I want it out of my way. I want to be able to put my backpack on without having to pull out my hair that gets stuck under the straps. I want to be able to use less shampoo and conditioner. I want to be able to blow dry it faster (or not blow dry it at all!). Basically- I want something easier. It's been a fun road- but I'm ready for this journey to come to an end. So here's what I'm thinking- let me know what you think. Katie Holmes is my muse:

As a side note- I love this dress!

Why she ever made the mistake of marrying Tom Cruise I will never know.

I'm thinking I like options 1 and 4 the best. I've had short hair before, and I think I can pull it off. But the real question is- bangs or no? I've never really had them before- and it's a giant leap of faith. But I suppose hair always does grow back.
