Last night was Friday night. I went to bed at 8:00 with our dragonfly lights hung over the window, plugged in and giving our cozy little bedroom a nice, dim glow. I was exhausted from the day so how could I not fall asleep?! I almost felt a little bad for going to bed early but hey, I like sleep and if I don't have anything going on I am going to take advantage of not having homework due the next day! It was a lovely evening. I woke up around 11 and did a few things (like put on pjs, brush my teeth, the usual) but then I was back in bed by 12. I did stay awake to see the rest of my roommates get home at one and talk to them about their days since a few I had seen for only 10 minutes that morning. The great thing about getting to sleep early is that you can wake up early! I was up at 7:30 this morning so I could go up to the temple. It's quite busy on Saturday mornings and it took me EXACTLY three hours to get through...to the minute. Three hours. That is skill right there.
I'm currently sitting in the MC doing homework. Well, most currently I am writing on here but before I did that and as soon as I am done, I am going to resume homework. I didn't shower this morning so my hair is a disaster and I have on no makeup and I'm in jeans and a white t-shirt. I love not having to dress up for work or church today.
Exciting news!!! Remember that big bone exam I was studying for? I took it last week and got a (drum roll please........) 104%! Which means I got 50/50 PLUS the two bonus questions. All those hours studying in the lab really paid off. The only bad thing is that that was the easy part. Now we're doing muscles and have to memorize not only the name of the muscle, but it's function and which two bones it attaches to. Just when I thought I had accomplished something cool they lump on even more. Back to the lab again!
Can I just rant for a few minutes about how awesome my friends are? I will warn you, if you don't like your friends you may not want to keep reading. I don't want to create any feelings of jealousy here...so I'll start by saying that I have awesome friends!! Seriously AWESOME friends. I went through a time in my life where I was relatively friendless and it was awful. So I am even more appreciative now of the good ones I have. My friends in high school couldn't have been better. You guys were hard workers but always knew how to have a good time. I was blessed with multiple groups of friends. There were my band friends (us band geeks stuck together) and my non-band friends (who were awesome in a non-band geeky kind of way). There were even the drama (theater) friends although they usually fit into one of the other groups as well. No matter which group I was with, I had good examples to follow and fun times were always abundant. I can honestly say that I miss bonfires at Kriegel's house, games at Luke's, pool parties at Olivia's, cast parties at whoever's, bus rides home from band contests with trophy's hanging out the windows, chilling at Panera, Blizzard runs, the "orange" orgy chair (am I allowed to call it that? haha), lunch with Brooke'nAlek, and every other spontaneous, happening that happened. I think often about those times and how we were all able to have good, clean, sober fun :) That's the best kind of fun and that's not even my opinion. It's a true fact!
Now that I'm across the country and thousands of miles away from all of those friends, I've been able to create new friendships. I don't do the best job at keeping in touch with hs friends but I think that's how life is supposed to go. You'll always be making new friends and trying to keep in touch with old ones. Just because I don't talk to my best friends from a year ago doesn't mean I don't love them. I smile just thinking about all the fun times we had. And I am who I am because of them. They are what made my high school experiences so wonderful and I have hundreds of pictures (race car at Disney...nuff said :P) and memories to prove it. No matter what happens, they will always be my friends.
With that said. My Idaho friends are top-notch. It surprises me how well I get along with some people and how much they can get me to open up and talk. I'm a pretty tight-lipped person but for some reason, I tell a few people everything! I love how my roommates can tell if I'm having a hard day and ask me if I need anything or bring me a Dove chocolate without even asking. Whitney is the best back-rubber ever and I am certainly glad I am not a guy because it's usually frowned upon for guys to give each other back rubs. Kadi went to the bone lab and studied with me for HOURS before my test and is a huge reason I did as well as I did. And there are soooooo many others who literally just make me happy when I see or talk to them. They all continue to be genuine examples to me of what I should be trying to be like. They make me want to serve others and speak kindly. I know they care even if we have our bad days. I know they'll love me even if I refuse to join the ward choir or sing on Sunday afternoons because stuff like that doesn't matter. I support them and they support me and it's a strong support system!
Now to my friends who I don't get to see or talk to for a while because they are off in foreign countries or elsewhere in the states preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. My missionary friends!!! I know they won't be able to read this but I'm going to express my appreciation for them anyways. Their examples to me are more than they can imagine. I've gone through the awkward middle school years, the "finding yourself" high school years and a semester or two of fun college with most of them. I read their letters home and my mouth hangs open at how much they are learning and experiencing. How many of you have friends that would give up talking to their families, watching tv, getting on facebook (or the internet for that matter), and all other "worldly" things for two years so that they could go teach people about Christ in countries they've only heard of and in languages they had to learn in a mere few months. They are the cream of the crop as far as friends go, that's for sure! And being at school here, I've gotten to make so many friends who have honorably served and returned and they are just as special and I hold them in the highest esteem. You guys (and girls *cough* Kadi *cough*) ROCK!!!
I wish I was better with words because after reading this it's not coming out how I wish it would. But I'm thinking I need to get back to real homework so it's going to have to do. That's life for now. Tomorrow is going to be another busy Sunday.

Plan B
It's funny how plans change. Especially when your name is Abigail. Especially when your name is Abigail and you're in college. Especially when your name is Abigail, you're in college, and you're trying to figure out this thing called LIFE. I'm not complaining, life is all about change and I'm all for life so I must be all for change.
So what, you may ask, has recently changed in my life that I would be so inclined to blog about it? For starters, my plans for the coming winter months. I've had planned out what I was going to do for the winter semester since last spring. Sadly, those plans came to a crashing halt last week and I was left to Plan B...sadly I had no Plan B.
It's a good thing I have an active brain and am in college where they teach me how to solve problems. This small rubiks cube hasn't been completely put right but I'm almost there. Basically, I think I'm going to stay in the Burg for the winter. To work or not to work? How many credits should I take? Are there even enough classes that I need offered at night or online that would get 12 credits to qualify me to work? From my initial research, all evidence points to no. So, for the moment, Plan B has turned into taking a few classes at night, not working, focusing on being an awesome Relief Society President, going to the temple multiple times a week, indexing, and fiilling my days with good things that don't consist of homework. And my lovely roommate, Alexis, has decided to do something similar so we will have a blast partying it up while everyone else suffers through midterms and finals yet again.
This is definitely not set in stone yet but I feel really good about how things are turning out. Everything happens for a reason and I think I'm supposed to stay in Idaho (in the cold) instead of venturing to the sunny beaches of Florida. I guess a winter tan is just not in God's plan for me this year.
Hmmmmmmm....so other random life news....
-- I went on my first blind date last night which was a lot of fun. It's crazy how connected we are within the church. Turns out he was in my grandparent's ward in NC and he went to their house (I still can't get over that he's been there) so my grandpa could give him his patriarchal blessing AND he roomed with my cousin at EFY one year. I told you, crazy.
-- I have a major anatomy test this Thursday. I should count up the number of terms we have to memorize for it...I think it's up near 400. There's 100 on the skull alone. Don't worry, all those years of scripture mastery and theater are paying off. If I can memorize 300 lines for a play I can certainly memorize 400 terms. Even if they are strange, medical words.
-- My roommates are crazy....words can't properly describe it.
-- I made cake balls this week and they were delectable! My birthday cake for Whitney encountered a problem so I crumbled it up, mixed it with cream cheese, rolled them into balls and froze them, then covered them in melted chocolate (white AND dark!).
Life is good :)

The Relief Society Good News Minute
Since this is my blog I decided I can take up the whole good news minute with my good news. And if I want, I can take more than a minute and make it the Good News Two Minutes :) I guess the length will depend on how fast or slow you read......
*deep breath* Here goes.
-- I got a 98% on my first Anatomy and Physiology lecture exam and then he dropped two questions which bumped it to a 101%
-- I got a 103% on the A&P lab exam. SCORE!
-- I love my job. I give prospective students tours of campus and answer a lot of telephones but every day is different as there seems to be an endless amount of things people can do to screw up the admissions application for the school.
-- I was called to be the Relief Society President in my student ward on campus. We have THREE RS this semester instead of the usual two. I'm still figuring out what the heck I'm supposed to do but hopefully it comes quickly.
-- My roommates continue to be amazing.
-- Whitney is still my friend even after me spending a week with her at her home AND living in the same room for almost a month now. It amazing me how long we can laugh at absolutely nothing.
-- Tonight I went on a run for the first time in over a month and it felt AHHHHmazing
-- I am going on a blind date next weekend.
-- I am not baking as much this semester which in turn means I am not eating as many baked goods. Kind of sad though....
-- I watched all four sessions of General Conference last weekend and loved them all. I only got tired at the end of the Saturday afternoon session but still took excellent notes and will be receiving my 1 lb bag of M&Ms.
-- We had an activity at FHE tonight where a paper was passed around for each person and we wrote nice things about each other. Nice notes always make me feel good inside...especially when one says "dateable." Althought that was followed by "haha" so I'm not quite sure how to take it.......haha
-- I'm going back to Washington for Thanksgiving for a few days and then flying wayyyyyy across the country to see off my cousin, Kimberly, who will leave on a mission soon
-- I attended an ABBA-mania concert with Whitney...that experience could be a blog in itself
-- A "good news minute" from my roommates....I have not tried to bake black bean brownies...yet
-- I treated myself to some frozen custard this weekend
-- Rexburg weather has been fairly agreeable for being October...it was 70 on Sunday and perfect for our picnic!
-- For picnic (see comment above) I made pulled pork sandwiches. They were super easy! I got up at 5:00 am and stuck 3 lbs of pork loin in the crockpot, poured a 20 oz bottle of root beer over them, turned it on low and went back to bed. After 6 hours of cooking I pulled the pork and dumped in a bottle of BBQ sauce, let it heat a few minutes and it was ready to serve....best part was that we had leftovers and I can have it for lunch for the rest of the week :)
-- I had my eyebrows waxed for the very first time (thank you Jamie)
-- I'M GETTING MARRIED!
-- I have lots of inside jokes with my roommates...see above comment for one prime example.
-- Whitney has not pulled any more shower escapades
-- I have many friends that are serving missions for the church all over the world and I am blessed to know such great guys with the desire to serve and work hard
-- I get to share clothes with my roommates...although I think they wear more of mine than I do of theirs....
-- I get more backrubs here than at home (don't worry, not from boys)
-- I am illness free
-- All of my bones are whole and in the right locations
-- I went to the farmers market across the street and a very attractive BYU-Idaho student sold me some yellow pear tomatoes.
-- I have a lovely bed that is calling to me at the very moment so I think I will retire there for the night and start a crazy Tuesday tomorrow. If I were going to make a "bad news minute" one of the first things would definitely be that my classes start at 7:45 or 8:00 EVERY morning and my professors are not the cancelling class kind of professors.
Before I start ranting about other things I think it would be wise for me to end this note. Life is good :)

Food for Thought...or Cleanliness.
College is crazy. I guess that's why I love it. I think Whitney and I may have scared our new freshman roommate, McKenna, the moment we walked into the apartment. It wasn't entirely our fault. We had just been in a car together for 12 hours and the last hour we couldn't get a good radio station and both our ipods had died so all we had to occupy our thoughts was the sound of our own voices.
But on with the real story....
After a long, hard day filled with classes, homework, work, and fhe I went to take a nice, hot, and relaxing shower (well first I had to clean out the hair-filled drain which is an entirely different story...I think that it makes up for my lack of doing dishes so far though....). As I stood, enjoying the hot water I catch a glimpse of something behind me. (Now you must know that one of my biggest fears is that I'll be in the shower and some creep-o-weird-o will appear behind me and cut my throat like in a horror movie). I turn around and find a bright red cup dangling in the shower and scream! WHAT THE HECK?!?! It took me a moment to realize it was indeed a harmless cup and not a serial killer. My eyes then darted to the top of the cup where I saw a small hole in the top and a piece of string (so I thought) connecting it to a pole like a fishing rod, which then went out the door. When I looked in the cup I found, to my delight, two slices of a fresh green pepper I had cut up earlier in the day! A snack for the shower, how thoughtful!!!
I took my slices of green pepper, thanked whoever was outside the door, and tossed the cup back over the side of the shower and continued showering. How's that for crazy?
After getting out I confronted Whitney about the whole thing and heard her whole story which was hilarious. She poked a hole in the cup with a pen, used floss as string and attached it to our kitchen mop. I'm glad in her 22 years on this earth she has honed such useful skills.

Dragonflies, Cute Butts, and a Lame Island Adventure
Well summer was a slight bummer. I really like school and it's no secret I have ill feelings for Ohio so I was grateful to get out a week early and venture to WASHINGTON to stay with my roommate, Whitney!
I shall start my documentation of this adventure at the beginning...the airport. First, I left my phone in the car and literally had to run out of the airport to the car. Luckily my dad hadn't pulled out yet. Because of this, I broke the number one airport commandment: Don't leave your luggage unattended. It's a good thing no one asked if anyone put something in without my knowledge because I wouldn't be able to answer completely honestly.
I'm kind of a window seat girl and was excited to actually have one this flight. As I made my way to the back of the plane I saw an old Indian lady sitting in MY window seat. I decided right then and there to do my good deed for the day and took the middle seat without trying to sit by the window. Had she tried to close the window shade, this story might be much more exciting than it is as I would have fought her...maybe.
Now, I have been in Washington before but that was quite some time ago...obviously I don't really remember it...
I actually didn't do any mountain climbing this time, but I did do some new things! Such as stained glass!
Whitney and I went and saw a lot of beautiful places around her home.
Probably the most disgusting part of the entire trip was the gum wall. Walking away from it I just felt like I had gum all over me. We're lame though and forgot gum so I didn't contribute anything to the degredation of the environment. You're welcome Al Gore.
My mom has always told me that I should get a job being a live statue somewhere so when I saw this guy I just had to get a picture with him! Afterwards, I told him my life aspiration was to be just like him and a guy walking by laughed at me. I think that's an insult to the statue...
We found a phonebooth.....
Friday we spent the day at her grandparents house. They were so funny!! We played skip-bo, hand and foot, hillbilly golf, and just sat around and listened to stories. That night we went to Deception Pass with her cousin for a scenic little view and hike.
We might be slightly crazy but that's what I love about us!! We are comfortable in our own skin and don't get embarrassed easily...especially infront of each other. One week ago I couldn't wait to get back to Rexburg to go to school and now I'm not so sure. I love Washington. And I still love Whitney and can't wait to room with her this fall. Her dad asked if this weekend ruined the next three months but it definitely has not!! We've had tons of fun times (many moments of laughter not noted) and I'm sure our 12 hour drive to Rexburg on Monday will be filled with even more hilarious moments :)

On Wednesday I went to Seattle with Whitney and her mom. We had such a good time!!! They took me to Pike's Place which was awesome. I have decided I'm going to move to Seattle some day just so I can go there everyday to buy my produce. They had the prettiest fruits and vegetables that were all fresh! I wished we were leaving for Rexburg the next day so I could load up but alas, I settled for a pint of raspberries and we bough a peach from a very nice gentleman. He even washed and cut it in half for us so we could eat it right then! For all you Sleepless in Seattle lovers, Pike's Place is where Sam and his friend are walking down the road talking about cute butts...I meant to take a picture of my butt there but forgot (yes, I know you are all thankful for that!)

"He has a cute butt. Where have I heard that recently?" "Everywhere. Even on the news women are talking about cute butts" |
 |
| FOOD!!!!! |

I swear I'm not actually licking anything although it looks otherwise.... |

Another street in Pike's Place |
Thursday night we took a ferry ride to an island to watch the sunset. Sounds like a good, fun time right? Wrong. Well it was good and fun but the ferry ride was way more fun than the island. We realized (after we got to the other side- carless) that there was nothing-- nothing-- to do. So we did what all kids our age do when they're bored...take pictures of themselves.

All things I hate the thought of and act of doing, yet I feel so good once they're behind be.

How to Creep a Girl Out 101
ATTENTION ALL BOYS. If you're looking for a quick way to make sure a girl doesn't like you, I would like to offer a few suggestions...
0) Talk to her about your lack of life goals. Make sure she knows you graduated high school seven years ago and have no intentions of graduating college soon.
1) Follow her everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE. Always be five steps behind her. If she goes in the lake, so do you. If she gets out and goes to sit on her towel, follow her up the sand and sit at the foot of her towel. I'm sure she'd love to sit and chat.
2) Keep following. If she goes out on the lake in a canoe with a friend, grab a canoe!
3) Offer her your hand. It doesn't matter if you haven't talked to her before today. I mean, what girl doesn't want to attach herself to you and stroll on over to the slide. Maybe she'll even let you catch her at the bottom.
4) Speak up. Who cares if you've never said a word in Sunday School before. Make sure she knows you're there and answer every question and volunteer to read every quote.
5) Sit by her at every opportunity. If you get into a room first you might have to wait a bit to see where she will sit. If you see her friends sitting try to stand in that general area. Girls usually sit with their friends. Don't be discouraged if she makes a roommate get up and move over a seat so she wouldn't be on the end. It's probably because the other roommate gives better back-rubs and has nothing to do with you making your way down the isle.
6) Breathe really loud. The gruffer your breathing is, the more attractive you become. It's especially impressive if she hears you and someone is sitting between you.
7) Since you didn't get to sit by her this time make sure you try again! You know the saying "if at first you don't succeed...try and try again!" This is to become your new life motto.
Of course all of the guys I met out at school are awesome and none of them would ever do something like this to me *cough**cough* I am definitely not pulling ideas from personal experiences. I just happen to have a very vivid imagination. Maybe one day I'll write the next "Harry Potter." With that said, I am extremely grateful for all of the friends I've made this past semester and for the wonderful examples they are to me. I don't know how I get so lucky.

0) Talk to her about your lack of life goals. Make sure she knows you graduated high school seven years ago and have no intentions of graduating college soon.
1) Follow her everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE. Always be five steps behind her. If she goes in the lake, so do you. If she gets out and goes to sit on her towel, follow her up the sand and sit at the foot of her towel. I'm sure she'd love to sit and chat.
2) Keep following. If she goes out on the lake in a canoe with a friend, grab a canoe!
3) Offer her your hand. It doesn't matter if you haven't talked to her before today. I mean, what girl doesn't want to attach herself to you and stroll on over to the slide. Maybe she'll even let you catch her at the bottom.
4) Speak up. Who cares if you've never said a word in Sunday School before. Make sure she knows you're there and answer every question and volunteer to read every quote.
5) Sit by her at every opportunity. If you get into a room first you might have to wait a bit to see where she will sit. If you see her friends sitting try to stand in that general area. Girls usually sit with their friends. Don't be discouraged if she makes a roommate get up and move over a seat so she wouldn't be on the end. It's probably because the other roommate gives better back-rubs and has nothing to do with you making your way down the isle.
