so last night we went to this restaurant called wagamammas. it was chinese. it was really good. i hate how everything is so expensive! its double. we all fell asleep around 9 because we were all tired.

today was my first day of classes. i didnt really sleep that well because the beds are so uncomfortable. you can feel the springs! school is about a 10 minute walk away. we do tons of walking around here! my feet hurt alot. but i will get used to it im sure. i had to go to a musuem with some kids for my art class. then the whole group went to this market place. i think it was picadilly square. then we walked to cenral london. took tons of pictures. i will begin sending photos on monday. that is when we are getting internet access. i also have to go buy a converter to fit into my laptop. big ben isnt that big. then about 7 of us went to h&m and other stores. i tried to find a watch but couldnt find one that was cheap. 40 us dollars for the cheapest that i have found! its ridiculous. then we tried to get into a broadway play for really cheap. if you go at the last minute you can get tickets for half off. but they didnt have the ones that we wanted. so we walked around for a bit. then we went out to this indian restaurant. i split a meal with my roommate.

tuesday i had bio and written business communication finals. they went ok i guess. i had to wake up at 630 again. 2 days in a row! that sucks. when i got home i studied accounting and astronomy. i also went and got a pedicure. i went over to dylans to help him pack. then we went to my place and watched armageddon. his suggestion! then we went to sleep afterwards.

yesterday i had my astronomy and accounting finals. my astronomy test was so easy. when i got done with the tests i called my mom to tell her that i was finally done with school and she suggested coming home a day early. so she called jet blue to see if they had any seats availabe. they did. so i spent the day packing. i never realized how much stuff i have. dylan and i went too the pita pit to get something to eat. then him and derek helped me move my stuff down to my car. then dylan and i said our goodbyes. it was so sad. i was fine and then all of a sudden i got teary eyed. then so did he. he told me thank you so much for always being there. he also told me he envies the next guy that kisses me and who i go out with. it was so sad to see him go. i have had the best time with him this past year. i dont know when the next time that i will see him. inless he comes back to utah or i go to denver. so after he left i cleaned the apartment with my roommates. we got pizza. cleaning was actually fun with all of them and it went fast. at 9 i drove up to brandos place. then he took me to the airport. my flight left at midnight. i am at jfk right now waiting for my flight to rochester. jet blue has free wireless! i love it.

cant wait to see everyone!! :-)

on monday my throat began getting really painful. so i went and bought throat medicine. it didnt help.

on wed. i had to go to court at 9. my ticket is 500. that sucks. it was still painful, so i went to the health center at uvsc. they tested me for strep throat but it came out negative. they just said that my tonsils were swollen. so they just sent me home with some pain medicine. the pain medicine didnt help out at all.

yesterday i went back to the health center and they tested me for mono but it came back negative. so they sent me home with better pain medicine. i went to the utah jazz game with blair. brando was there with a bunch of friends also. there were two open seats next to me so he came down and sat next to us with his date. on the way back to blairs house he had to stop and get gas so i went to the bathroom and on my way out i could feel myself getting really sick. so i ran to the trash can and threw up twice. there were people watching, that was strange. blair came up and held my hair. then he went in and got me water. he is such a nice kid. i feel so bad for throwing up on our date. on my way home i called my mom to see what i should do. she was half asleep when i called. she told me to go to the emergency room. when i got home brando called and said mom had called him. so he drove down from salt lake. he gave me a blessing then we went to the hospital. we got there at 12. they tested me again for different things. turns out i ended up having tonsilitis.so they gave me stronger pain medicine and zithromax-an antibiotic. we didnt get out till 230. as soon as i got home i fell asleep.

mom called today to check up on me. we talked for alittle bit. but it hurts to talk. well, gotta get going to school for a group project.

this weekend was pretty fun. thursday after astronomy this kid, zach, in my class asked if i wanted to go get icecream. so we went to cold stone. he is a nice kid. he's from spanish fork. he is studying accounting.

on friday i went and bought hub caps for the car. the ones i had didnt match and one was broken. but i found a good sale! instead of 20 bucks i got them for 8. good timing. that night i went out with this kid named landon. he is on the uvsc newspaper and is going to the u of u in the fall. we went out to chili's(my fav. new restaurant in utah, i have been there 3 times in the last two weeks!) then we went and rented open water and watched it at his place. that was one stupid movie.

saturday i went out with blair, he is from my bio class. he is from riverton which is near sandy. we went to the sky box at gateway. we ate there when we came out to visit brando when he was a freshman. then we drove around salt lake and he showed me cool stuff. like this place called "hobbitville" he told me there were midgets there but really there are not. then he took my on "gravity hill" where your car rolls up hill. but it didnt happen. these were just places that are myths in utah. and i didnt know about them. then we went back to his house and watched the day after tomorrow. he went to australia for his mission! sky would be so jealous.

today we had a munch and mingle after church. it was so good! stew, cornbread and icecream.

monday i had school, studied, and went and gave plasma. that night a bunch of us went to village on teh parkway and played pool. then went in the hot tub and swimming pool. dylan and i had a chicken fight vs. kenyan and michelle. it was a ton of fun. dylan and i are back to kissing. i think this time we are just going to remain ncmo's. (non commital make out). that way we dont have to go through breaking up. then we came back to my place and ended up just falling asleep. after a good make out though!

yesterday i was at school from 830-2. i hate tuesdays and thursdays. but what can i do. 3 weeks till im home! i cant believe it. :-) and i cant wait!! i went to the gym. then went over to dylans for a bit. then we came back to my place and watched "the saint" that is such a good movie and it takes place in moscow! oooh i cant wait to go. i think im going to be getting assigned to a school this weekend! nice. then dylan and i went back to his place.

today officially sucked. so im driving down this road which i thought was 35 but turns out its only 25 because of some elementary school. well, im going 40 so a cop pulls me over and i get a ticket. then i go to donate plasma and some new guy puts the needle all the way through my vein so they have to take it out and i cant donate. that made me mad because now i need money to pay for that stupid ticket! when i got home i was all upset, dylan came over and helped my feel better. then we went and got my laundry and he helped me fold it. then i did some homework. then we went to the mall. i got this bra from victoria's secret. it actually makes my boob's look big! ahh i love it. :-) i went to american eagle and got two shirts, that finished off my christmas gift card. then i got some black sandles at payless and got dylan a tshirt for his birthday on friday. after the mall i went and got food at walmart with michelle and kenyan. now i have to do some homework still...fun stuff....cant wait for this semester to be done with!

today was general conference which meant no church. i went and watched it on tv at kyle's. afterwards ryan h. called. so he came and picked me up then we went back to his place. he is so loaded. he drives the nicest truck i have ever seen and has a 2004 motorcycle. he made salmon for dinner. then we went to blockbuster to rent spiderman 2 and he ended up buying it.

when i got home dylan and i talked for awhile. he told me that if it wasnt for me he wouldnt be alive right now. he also told me how i am the only girl that he has ever trusted outside of his family. and that he has never cared for anyone as much as he does for me. i wish every moment that he didnt have anxiety and depression problems. he is the perfect guy for me. i always feel comfortable and happy with him. but we cant be together...and it sucks.

wed. i had ryan come over to fix my laptop. there is something wrong with it. he worked on it for about an 1 1/2 hours. so i took him out to eat at chili's. at 830 i had to go to an astronomy lab. zach saved me a seat, we joked around the whole time. the lab was pretty interesting though. it felt like we were really outside looking at the sky.

thursday i went to the gym with dylan, trask and michelle. then michelle and i went to the relief society activity. we did these tile art. it came out pretty good. you put a picture on the tile and put this glossy coating on it. its a lot of fun to do.
today ryan came over again to check my computer. then i went to the library to help dylan study. then michelle and i went to the gym. then dylan and i went out to eat at chili's, boy do i love that restaurant. its gotta be my favorite. then we just went back to his place and chilled.

friday we went skiing! i love skiing out west. there was tons of snow. i couldnt believe it. near the end there was a cloud about halfway down the mountain. it was impossible to ski through it because you couldnt see at all. it was like being in a very heavy fog. we had to go very slow.

saturday we hung around the house for a bit. then dylan had a doctor's appt. then we left for utah around 3. we got back around 4. i was so tired. derek came over and we watched a movie. then i went to sleep.

tuesday i went to the hip hop class with michelle. dylan came home. he came over. we decided to break up because im leaving at the end of the semester for london and hes going to oregon for the summer.

wednesday i longboarded to the tanning place. some guy came up to me and thought it was way cool that i was longboarding. so he got my number and we are going to go longboarding after spring break. then i went to an accounting study group. then i had a meeting for london. i am so excited to go! they talked to us about what to pack and all of the places that we are going to go. then i went to the gym.

thursday i was at school for 11 freaking hours. that sucked. i got done with school at 2 but i had another accounting study group to go to. that lasted till about 5. then i studied by myself in the library. while i was there this kid comes up to me and asks if i live at college terrace. i said yes and he goes me too. i guess he just moved in a couple of months ago. his name is luke, he asked me if i wanted to go out saturday night. then i took my accounting test at 6. didnt get done with it till 715. i was so sick of school by then. i got home and went to the gym. i've lost 4 pounds since tuesday! i've had no appetite so i havnt really been eating much. i have been way stressed out about school and i miss my family and everyone back home.

next wed. spring break begins!! but that means i have a bio test on mon and a math test on tues. :-(
