Random daily tidbits for today:

Today was late start! Lovely! :) I love late start! It is so nice to get an extra hour of sleep. Anyways, I woke up an hour before school started and was super speedy getting ready, so I decided to curl my hair. I NEVER curl my hair. It's just not something I do! I think spending a lot of time on hair or clothes is a waste. So I just don't. But today I did, just for kicks. And I'm actually liking how it looks! HAH!!! Imagine that! I got lots of compliments on it. Which always just makes you feel good. So that was nice!

I learned "25 Scripture mastery verses in 25 minutes!!", or so my new seminary teacher would call it! I love seminary. Several of my friends think it is boring, which I admit it can be. But I really quite enjoy it! It is a good break from the normal school day. And I really do learn a lot. It is a great place to feel the spirit and I love it! My new teacher seems pretty awesome too. So far I really like him! I know not a soul in my whole class. So that really sucks. But I'm making friends!! (well. sort of. I'm trying. haha) So that is good!

Ahh, drivers ed. What a class! SOOO boring. Let me tell you! Thank goodness there are cool people in it! Or man oh man! I would struggle! ALL we do is watch movies. Movies movies movies. Let me just tell you about this last lovely one we watched. It was 30 minutes of viewers "driving" in a car. So it looked like you were driving and all you could see was your mirrors and the street. The movie was called, "The Inns and Outs of Turning". Let me give you a preview (this was basically exactly what it said the whole time): "You are approaching a right turn. When you get close enough, turn on your blinker. Now pull over to the right. If you are turning right, turn from the right side of the street. If you are turning left, turn from the left side of the street. (well duh!) Now stop. Scan left. Scan right. Scan left again. Proceed. *Pause* Now, we are going to turn left at this next four way stop. Pull up and stop. Scan left. Scan right. Scan left. Scan right again. All clear? Proceed. Think back to the last minute. Have you checked your mirrors lately?" on and on and on!!!! Wow. It was seriously a thrilling movie (NOT!). Yeah. Drivers Ed is going to be an adventure.

Spanish. Spanish was very interesting today! We took a test. It was a very different type of test! Our teacher put us in groups of three and gave us a half sheet of paper full of instructions to get somewhere in the school. We had to go find where the paper was taking us. It was like, turn right, go down the steps to your left, etc. Like a scavenger hunt! Well. My group didn't do so good. We got it perfect up to the last like 5 steps. We thought we knew the right room, but weren't sure (turns out, it was the right room). It was the choir room, and there were like 100 kids in there singing their heart out. We didn't exactly want to go in, stop the class, and ask the teacher in spanish if he "had something for us". Those were the directions! Can you say, AWKWARD?!? So we didn't. Yeah. Well. That was it. Oh man. We walked around for like half an hour! Haha!

Math. Don't even get me started. Ahhh. I seriously almost feel asleep. Not only is it a seriously hard class, it is right after lunch. And for some reason, it always makes me SOOO tired!! I always get so sleepy and half to keep shaking my head to stay awake or pinching myself or something! It is bad. Bad bad news.

I'm going to the Mandarin for dinner tonight!!! :) I got a 4.0 this past term, my brother got a 3.8, and my sister got good grades too! So we are going to celebrate! And I am so excited. I love the Mandarin. :)

IT SNOWED!!!!!!!! I love the snow. I am so happy it snowed. Yes, I kind of want summer to come. But I really do adore the snow. I just hate when it is cold and there is NO snow. But man, it looks so gorgeous outside. Everything looks clean and white and pure and just beautiful!! Plus now skiing will be good :)

I would say more, but I am getting kicked off the computer. So adios for now.

Happy Tuesday!!

getting antsy

I want water. I want the lake. I want skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, kneeboarding, building sandcastles, eating licorice on the beach, frisbee in the lake, ahhh. :) Sounds like paradise to me right now.

Get me on that lake!!!!! :)









Blogger makes your pictures look sucky!

Anyways. Love to all!

P.S.




I'm really liking this wakeboard. A lot.

inspired

okay. this guy freaking rocks my socks. how creative is that? he's awesome.

check him out: ben heine

ah snap!

Alright. I'm officially frustrated.

I spent 2 hours goofing off with my camera, water, dice, etc. And took some pretty sick pictures if i do say so my self! Haha! But my camera seems to be having difficulties uploading. And it is actually kind of stressing me out. If something is wrong I'm going to cry! But I will work on it! And hopefully have them up soon.

Switching gears, NEW SEMESTER!! Hallelujah! Only downer? I don't like A days much.

1: Seminary. I actually think this will be a good class. I have a new teacher and I think he seems super great! I'm sure I will learn a lot! The only serious downer? I know not a SINGLE person in my whole entire class. Nobody!! Ahhh!!

2: Drivers Ed. I like the people in this one a lot! And I think it will be pretty fun! But the class totally sucks. As in the actual work and stuff. It's going to be the most boring class. Lets just call it nap time! (Just kidding, just kidding.)

3: Espanol! There are a total of NINE people in this class. Crazy, huh? Only nine.

4: Honors Pre-Calc. Just shoot me now!! This is such a hard class. I just don't get math. It is SO hard!! But somehow, amazingly, I ended up with an A last term. It's a miracle :)

I don't know how tomorrow will be. Choir (so excited! hah!), Honors English with Christy (shoot me again. this very possibly might be a worse class then math), Honors Chem (super hard class, but strangely enough I actually think it is super interesting and really kind of enjoy this class!), and then World Civ! With Hathaway! I love that woman. She's like my favorite teacher!

Hope your day was fabulous!

Happy Wednesday!

i have a new love.

It's called high speed photography.

One word? Amazing!! Some of the pictures I see leave me speechless! I'm going to try it as soon as I'm done posting. I don't think I have equipment sufficient enough to actually take good ones (Or talent, for that matter!). But I really want to try it! We'll see how it goes! Haha!

Here is a quick glimpse for you all:


(breaking the rules. get it? hah hah)


















Amazing, isn't it? Stunning!

Happy Thursday!

Say... CLICK! take a pic!!

Go Diego Go, anyone? :)

Anyways, I made this goal for this year that I was going to do this special made up photography challenge once a week so I could improve my photography skills and that would force me to get more creative. Well, so far I haven't started it yet. Hah! When I start, I will post pictures. Until then, it is a secret :) muah hah hah. But now everyone is doing this 365 thing? And I kind of really want to do it too! Although I doubt I could stay on top of it. I'm thinking that maybe I will do a 365-31! So like a 334? Haha. And just start in February. We shall see.

I'm aching to get a new camera lens. So bad. They are just so darn expensive! Ah well.



That there camera is like my baby. I'm in love with it :) The 4 years of saving was well worth it! I have officially had him for a year and 10 days! His birthday was New Years day! I think its high time he has a name. Any ideas? (and yes. I know I'm a dork. Haha. don't worry)


Any of you like 3 readers out there want to do a photoshoot with me? I want to so bad! Let me know.


Peace. And happy picture taking!

Adios!

BUBBLES

I took these pictures this summer, and forgot about them. I rediscovered them today and I love them!! Another great thing is that I did like zero editing. These are straight out of my camera.

I love my baby sis.

random tidbits

I haven't posted in a while. But nothing super exciting has really happened! So here is just a bit of what has been going on in the past week.


* I turned 15!!! :) Yay!! Finally. I will never be asked, "You're only 14?!?!?!" another time in my life. And won't that be just so wonderful!! I haven't got my permit yet, but I am very excited! So far, 15 isn't that much more exciting then 14. But who knows what could happen this year! I guess we'll just have to figure it out!!

* Skiing is my favorite thing on planet earth. Like no freaking joke. It is INCREDIBLE. The feeling of flying through gorgeous pine trees in knee deep powder is indescribable. I love it. Its like I'm flying!! It's pretty bizarre. You look down and your feet have disappeared. And you just feel like you're soaring! It's amazing!!

* My twin cousins are doing a study-abroad program for BYU at the Jerusalem center. They are going to have the most amazing experience. I'm actually quite jealous of them to be honest! Haha. Just by reading their blogs I can feel the spirit. It is going to be such a testimony building experience for them. I can't describe to you how much I love this gospel and how glad I am to be a part of it! I hope that someday I can have that experience, too.

* I got the Wii game Just Dance for my birthday. And I played it with my little sisters and my mom for like 2 1/2 hours. It. Is. HILARIOUS. SOOO much fun!! Hahah!! We look like such retards! But it's pretty great!

* I am so in love with running it is crazy. If I couldn't run, I don't know what I would do. I love it!!! And it is the most amazing and efficient stress reliever known to man!!

* Speaking of stress, school is nutty. I don't like it very much. Haha! End of semester is this week and I'm up to my neck in stress. It's crazy. Ah well.

* I made a blanket like, last November or something? It was one of the easy kinds that requires no needles or squat. But it's super fuzzy and has monsters on one side and I love it!! :)

* Something that I love even more is the slippers I got for Christmas. They are the most comfy and soft things I have ever felt. They are like constantly on my feet!! I wake up, swing my feet out of bed, put them on. The second before I walk out the door, I take them off and put on my actual shoes (LAME!!). I get home, put on my slippers. Take them off at the very last second I have before getting into bed. They're so grand. :)



I do not kid when I say they are the most wonderful things I have ever put on my feet.


Alright. Well that was a pretty nonsense post. But whatever. Haha. I was bored. Anyways, happy saturday!!
Love Abby
