disney scene it is a cheater.

this week was pretty much awesome.  i had lots of homework and such for the first bit... but everything was all finished up by thursday. we had an amazingly cool office party. adam and i even built ourselves a "that's what she said" cake. it's pretty legitimate. 

on friday, my family came. =) it was awesome partying around with my brother. he even came to class with me, that brave soul. that night, our family went to cafe rio. and it was delicious (of course). after cafe rio, i went to the planetarium with adam. it was so so much fun, and the guide guy that was telling us the stuff about the stars was hilariously not funny. it was awesome. after that we watched harry potter, only the best. 

on saturday, i hung out with my family again. we went shopping, and just hung out. i miss them. on saturday night, bethany and my family and i went to trafalga and played GLOW IN THE DARK putt putt golf. no lies. it was so so cool, and i for sure am going back. 

after that, alecia, bethany, sayaka, steve, adam, and i went to the nickelcade. and it was way fun too. it basically was the best week ever. 

on sunday, adam came over and partied with my family. we played disney scene-it... and i lost, which is most depressing. after that we had an amazingly delicious meal. 

life is good. =)

con amor, jessica

out of control

hello! so this week was CRAZY. really... 

i thought it would be easy because i didn't have any tests, but i got sick on tuesday and wednesday and that was no good. i got better though... and i am still alive. =)

on thursday, bethany and i went to the temple, and that was awesome. of course we watched the office... which rocked. 

on friday, my spanish class got cancelled (YAY) and then i went to a comedy show with dan. it was tons of fun, and HILARIOUS. i got home, and of course our walls were painted with glow-

in-the-dark paint. it looks really cool. 

on saturday, we did our chores and grocery shopping and all that jazz... and then we went to a japanese restaurant. it was so COOL. it was one of those restaurants where the cook makes the food in front of you. the cook was flipping the rice bowl around... and sayaka said "i have never seen a jumping rice bowl before!" it was so funny. 

that night we had a crazy fun nacho libre party complete with nachos. most delicious...

today is full of studying for my living prophets test... wish me luck. =) 

con amor,

jessica

when the horchata runs dry...

hola everyone!

this week has been super busy, and super exciting. first off, i had about A MILLION midterms to do. and everyone knows that midterms are just no good at all. i did pretty well, and i survived the week... so i guess nothing else matters! 

the weekend was amazing. as you may know, my roommate (sayaka) has been taking the discussions and she got baptized this saturday! i am so excited and proud of her. saturday was an amazing day. we got up early to get ready for her baptism, and then we practiced "i am a child of god" because we sang at the baptism. sayaka sang the first verse in japanese while we sang in english, kiseniya sang the second verse in russian while we sang in english, and then alecia, bethany, and i sang the third verse in spanish while the other girls sang in english. it was really fun for me to sing in spanish. it reminded me of the viejitas in mexico. i gave the talk on baptism, and i was super nervous. i don't know why, but doing things like that make me nervous. i guess it was because i wanted everything to be perfect for sayaka that weekend and i knew my talk would be far from. 

after the baptism, we went to the football game. bethany and i sat next to alecia's family and it was tons of fun, despite the freezing cold. right now, byu is ranked 7th (i think) and has the longest winning streak in college football. go cougars! 

that night, we had a bunch of people over for a party for sayaka. we played lots of games and had tons of fun. saturday was probably the best day ever. sunday was pretty awesome as well because sayaka got confirmed. i am so ready for this week because i don't have too much to do... and i really need some rest! 

con amor,

jessica

when being a hippie is just not ok...

hello! 

this week was pretty fun! for fhe, we played flag football. it turns out that i am tragically bad at playing any form of football. i treat it more like hot potato. 

this week was really good... i hung out with alecia and bethany a lot. =) we partied. 

on saturday, i went to a korean restaurant. and it was so so so very good. i believe that it might be slightly americanized... ha. 

on saturday night, bethany came into our room and was like, "JESSICA! COME WITH ME!" she took me outside to the sidewalk and showed me a snail. we explored around for a bit, and found 6 other snails. (in total: 2 big ones and 5 babies). basically we couldn't leave them outside to get crushed by careless walkers or get killed in the rain! so we took them inside... named them... painted them with nail polish... and created a habitat for them. they pretty much are the coolest pets EVER. people judge us for being hippies. i think we rock.

i also watched conference! it was so good! it was also cool because the weather was most excellent with rain and cold... it was fun to pretty much camp out in our living room all weekend long.

on sunday morning we made a really good breakfast/lunch in between sessions of conference. we had hash browns, pancakes, the whole deal. =) 

in short, this week was pretty awesome... and i'm pretty excited that i'm settled in finally.
