Post Finals Life
Well. I survived finals. I didn't think I would. Which is why I didn't blog at all, even though I said I would. Sorry about that. To make up for it, I'll give you an update on my life. How's that?
Finals were stressful. They always are. But this semester, I had a film project instead of a test. Those take up about one million hours, rather than about 7 hours or so that are normally devoted to finals cramming. But my project turned out really well. Although the alloted time was 3 minutes, and my full version is almost 6. The full version will be posted online when it's cleaned up a little more.
After finals, I drove home. Well, I didn't drive. Diane drove. I slept most of the way. It was great to be home. Played some Beatles Rockband, watched some Office, and then had some food poisoning. I think. I'm still not sure. In any case, I haven't been feeling well since. Stupid sickness. Get sick the first day of vacation. Oh well. Christmas is coming, our tree is decorated, my shopping is done, and Luke might/is coming to visit! Life is good.
Also, when I have my own Christmas tree, I want this one:

Pre-Finals Life
With the stress of the season upon me (and I'm not referring to Christmas), I have found the one thing that keeps me sane/procrastinating responsibly. What is it you may ask?

On This, the Day of Thanksgiving...
I am thankful for:
0. The Gospel.
1. My family.
2. My friends.
3. Luke.
4. Canada.
5. Chocolate.
6. BYU
7. Being a film student.
8. Beatles Rockband.
Luke is Awesome Because....
1. He's crazy smart, and can figure out just about anything. Like, this one time, he fixed his car with a paper clip.
2. He works hard at whatever he does. He doesn't do something halfway. He'll work until it's all the way done.
3. He can be just as silly and crazy as me.
4. He's much more levelheaded than I am. It takes a lot to get him upset and stressed, whereas I panic at the drop of a hat.
5. He's stable. I know I can count on him. Always. He's there when I need him, and that's more important to me than anything.
6. He's so supportive of everything I do.
7. We can talk for hours about the craziest, randomest, stupidest things.
8. He's the kindest guy I know. He never says anything bad about anyone, and helps people when they need it.
9. He's just so great to be around!!
10. He loves me, and I know he loves me for who I am. And I love him too. He's the awesomest person I know.

My Weekend Away
I just got back from one of the greatest weekends ever. And when I say just, I mean a few days ago. Luke took me home to meet his parents/see his house/get out of Provo. It was fantastic! Mike and Katie came with us, which made the trip. I couldn't have asked for better company. Highlights of the trip include:
-driving around in the dark in rural Idaho.
-meeting Luke's parents (who are absolutely amazing. They are some of the nicest people I know, and I'm so grateful for them and their hospitality)
-meeting Luke's goats
-driving around seeing all the places where Luke grew up (which was great!)
-drinking wassail and sitting in front of a fire while playing cards with some of my very favourite people
-"kitten piles" and "ya'll be frontin'" and "you....are a goat".
-riding in a Model T
-watching Mike and Luke push the T up a rather snowy hill.
-homemade ice cream at Grandma's
There was a lot more, but this plus Facebook pictures gives you a pretty good idea. I can't wait to go back!

A Nice Metallic Slice of Irony
It's that time in the semester when you procrastinate homework with....other homework. And during this particular instance, I found that my professor has scheduled a lecture entitled " 'Why am I Doing This?' and and other things to ponder as your stressful semester continues on its merry way" for the Wednesday of Thanksgiving break.
Life Rocks Because:
-it's cold, and I can wear my cute sweaters and scarves from London.
-the sci-fi movie that I worked on so hard is going to be AWESOME when it comes out in January!
-my friends are awesome!!!!!
-my family is awesome!!!!
-like it or not, midterms will be over by Monday
-I got free cookies at work today
-the world isn't as awful as it seems (check here)
-my boy is fantastic! I am so lucky to have him.
-this is my 50th post!

Puzzles Never Did Strike My Fancy
I'll be honest: I'm confused. I feel like I'm doing one of those ridiculous puzzles that's all white, or of the sky or something. No. It's some stupid field of wildflowers, and everything is either red, yellow, or green, and it all looks the same. Sure, it's easy to do the edges, cause they've got straight lines. But the rest of it? You can forget about it. It's just not gonna happen. You can't make sense of it. And it gets to the point where you want to throw the pieces everywhere and stomp on them. Or stalk it like a velociraptor. Or move on to a 24 piece puzzle of a puppy or something.
I say screw it. I'd rather colour anyway.

Honest Procrastination
So, I had so much I wanted to share, and then I sat down to write this. Thoughts scattered like deacons when there's a service project. Hmmm... Well, how about I leave you an assortment of my jumbled thoughts? No? Too bad, I'm doing it anyway.
*film is awesome. I'd marry it if I could. For some reason, nothing gets me out of a funk like a little set construction.
*religion classes should not have tests. Or assignments. I'm just sayin.
*I'm about to pull my first all nighter of my senior year this weekend. Oh goodie. But it's for film, so I'm alright with that.
* things are better this way.
