Homecoming Week.

This last week was homecoming week. Like always there are many activities...but I didn't participate. Although I did go to the football game. During halftime the volleyball and tennis teams got to ride on top of a firetruck. It was really fun. My favorite part was when they announced the volleyball team and the coaches and then moved on and acknowledged the student counsel on the firetruck behind ours.....Like I said the volleyball AND tennis teams were on the firetruck. Nice of them to notice our presence. Whats new though...Tennis never really gets much credit. EAC lost the football game which is always hard to deal with. After the game there was a Halloween dance planned, but instead I went with some of my friends to the river and built a bonfire. It was awesome. We always build bonfires and just hang out on the weekends.

Today's tennis practice was different and fun. We were warming up as usual, when our coach told us to pick the balls up and come together. She said, "Okay, today is going to be a little different..." In my head I was assuming we would be doing a lot of running drills. She went on and said, "Maja is going to go and study for her math test that she will be taking later today, and the rest of us are going to go play softball with the class over there." (As she points to the softball class) Every Tuesday and Thursday there is a softball class that plays out on the grass. They play with a bigger/heavier rubber softball and the base distances are shortened. It was the tennis team against the class, with the teacher/coach being on our team. It was a lot of fun! After an hour of that, our coach told us our last task was to run to the highway, across to the next block and back up to the courts. The distance was about a mile and a half. When we were done with that we could leave or stay for weights class that we usually have. Three of us chose to stay for weights, and man, was it a good 'Hard Body Workout' (that's what it was called).

It was just me and Amanda for the weekend, we really didn't do much. On Sunday I told her I was going to make dinner for the two of us. I thought I did a fantastic job. I cooked some chicken, rice and made a salad. I think Amanda was pretty impressed too.

Looks delicious right? It was. Complete with a glass of water.

You can just call me Cooking Loni! The apron is my other roommate, Ivy's. I'm sure she wouldn't have minded me wearing it. My face in the picture does look a little scary, but its only cause I started to laugh. Amanda said my face was priceless for the occasion.










I'm sorry there haven't been as many updates. Nothing grand and exciting is really going on at this point in time. Although I did hear it snowed back home and even saw a picture of the snow in Logan. I was so happy but sad at the same time, because I wasn't there to enjoy it. I am praying that there will be snow during the Christmas break that I can have adventures in while I'm home.

So long for now. Enjoy the weather where ever you are reading this from.

Aren't Mondays Great?

I know my Monday is going to be great, when I walk out of my apartment with a fohawk and some nice skids on my feet. Those are the only things I care about when it comes to making myself look good. My hair and shoes. I could care less if my shirt matched my shorts or if my underwear matched my socks. Although, my socks do have to be paired with the same looking socks. I don't know how some people can wear one blue sock and one green sock. It would drive me more insane than I already am! It's probably the OCD.

Of course, my starting statement didn't happen until after tennis practice was over and I stepped out the door to head to my first class of the day.

Today is the starting day to register for spring semester. I was fully prepared with the classes I needed/wanted to take, so this morning before practice I headed over to the library to take the bull by the horns. I was so nervous to register. I kept double checking that I had the right class and that the time was going to work out. Oh...that is another thing...registering for college classes is so much harder than high school. Not only do you have to decide what classes you need to take for your degree, you need to prioritize your time. Like for me, I need to make sure I don't schedule classes during tennis practice time. Even though I was stressed, I got what I needed to done. I am all set for next semester. There were only two classes that I couldn't put into my schedule because of the bad timing. I wish they would have worked so then I would have had all my General classes done. That would have been nice right? Then next year I would only have to worry about getting all the elective credits I need.

I finished registering with ten minutes left to get myself to practice. Just enough time to walk home grab my tennis bag and keys to my blue lifted Toyota Tacoma 2013 and go. Perfect. Except, I don't own a blue lifted Toyota Tacoma 2013....But I am taking donations. So if you would like to donate the truck, please have it delivered to me. Money donations can be made straight into my account. Okay back to reality...I walked home and unlocked my Specialized Myka 2008 bicycle. Luck would have it though that the front tire is flat. Awesome. Usually I can pump it back up and let the slime inside the tube take over. I think the tube is tired of the quick fix though. I couldn't even attempt to pump it up. I look at my watch and the time read 8:02am. Practice starts at 8am. Nuts. I quickly text my coach my predicament, lock my bike back up, run inside my apartment, grab my longboard and make like a wave and roll to practice. Yes I was late, but not terribly in trouble. I just had to catch up on our warm up run.

Great way to start off a Monday wouldn't you say? Yeah...except for the fact that in my first class, math, I had a test. I think I did pretty good, even on the questions I didn't answer. But I did walk out of my apartment feeling awesome. My hair was styled great and I was wearing sweet skids.

I know its only Monday, but I sure can't wait until Wednesday. Wednesday means Modern Family will be on. I love that show. I can't stop myself from laughing out loud when I am watching it in the library. The nursing students who are grouped together studying by me, always glance over. In my head I apologize, then think, man they really should be watching this. I laugh so hard a cry sometimes. It is just a great show. I may need to buy all the seasons. It never gets old. So funny.

Live. Love. Laugh Hysterically!

Fair Day = Holiday

Just to put the weather difference in perspective for you guys, here in AZ its 88 degrees and at home in UT its 75 degrees. In the mornings and nights it does get a little cooler though.

Tomorrow is fair day which means no school! It is pretty much considered a holiday. Weird I know. Although I only get the day off, not the night because I got stuck having my astronomy lab this week. This week we are suppose to go out to the desert and use our telescopes and chart stars, but it has been overcast most of today and its suppose to get worse this weekend. So we might be sitting in the classroom doing lab work instead. I really hope it rains though. I love the rain.

Next week we sign up for spring semester classes. It's weird to think about. Fall semester is almost halfway over. Also starting February our tennis season starts. We will have some pre-season matches, but as of right now I don't know when they will be.

Have a great fair weekend! Oh...just regular weekend.

Its Been Awhile...

I apologize for not writing in awhile. There really hasn't been anything exciting to write about. Life is just a normal up hill battle.

This past weekend I have had my astronomy lab. Thursday from 5-11pm, Fri. & Sat. From 4-Midnight. Yes...it is a very long time period to be learning about Astronomy. It is also a lot of info to take in, believe me. Learning about the stars and all that they entail has been so cool. At some point in time we have looked up to the sky and seen the stars. The sky and stars are so much more than what we see by the naked eye. Next weekend we will actually be going out into the desert with our telescopes and looking at the stars and constellations. Its going to be a neat experience.

It's weird to think that back home it is getting colder and that the leaves are changing. People are dressing in long pants, hoodies and going to corn mazes on the weekends. Here in AZ, it feels and looks the same. We are still going to the pool after classes and building bon fires by the river at night. The palm trees aren't changing colors...sad day. That is something I do miss seeing...the leaves changing colors. I loved driving through the canyons and seeing all the different colors. It is so beautiful. I will survive though.

I really don't have much more to talk about. Like always if anyone has suggestions on what they want to hear about or what they want me to talk about, it can be about anything, write me a comment or email me.

This is just a lyric music video that I hope you all enjoy. Think about your life.
