parking space of requirement

in harry potter, the room of requirement is a room that any wizard or witch can find on the seventh floor of hogwarts if he/she has a specific need in mind.

"so let's say i really needed to use the toilets?"
"charming, ronald. but yes."

turns out there is a parking space of requirement at byu. when you most need it, it pops up on the 2nd row of the rb parking lot. in the most dire and stressful situations, it will be there. i have complete evidence of this, because somehow when i most need a parking space (when it is cold, or when i am late) it is ALWAYS there! you can count on it.

so if you come to byu, check it out. it'll be waiting for you.

get that corn outta my faaaace

hello friends. i went to the corn maze the other day with adam. jolly good fun... i will let you in on a few of our adventures at said maze place. here i am sitting on a giant rocking chair. great fun.


here i am holding my findings from going through the maze. as you can see, i am at victory bridge. and there was lots of corn. and it was all dead. so clearly, this isn't stealing.

adam found his baby picture! ah. just kidding, it's michael's baby picture! ha. but seriously. what is this? a giant iguana? a star wars creature? a dinosaur? and why can you walk through it? and WHY is it at a cute corn maze anyway? yeah.

this is me just hangin out. ha. get it? ha. i crack myself up.

here is a pyramid of pumpkins. where every famous person can be found. i.e. gordon b. hinkley, dora the explorer, animals, obama. you name it.

here is adam as the statue of libery. but really, we got this pumpkin for free. i should carve it, but as for now it is in my room. being festive and such.

the end! love you all!

mean yard-duty lady

remember that one time, long ago when i was playing on the playground with the rest of the kids- and the whole group of us found a cat? we chased that cat all around the playground. seriously, probably 30 of us. it was great fun, and i saw nothing wrong with the whole situation. anyway, the yard-duty lady decided that we should stand on the fence for 5 minutes because we were being so bad. i was absolutely distraught, and quite mortified. i remember i was wearing a red tank top with a little pocket on the front and jean shorts. it was a friday. i was crying. and i was the only honest student apparently, because i was the only one on the fence. i basically despised that lady. never would i turn into someone that mean.

well, turns out that i am that mean because i made a little boy cry today.

it was truly not mean, i watched the video tape. this little boy got his first warning... and he decided to not pay attention for the second time. i waited for him to pay attention. i gave positive reinforcement to the other students around him... but there comes a time when enough is enough. and he needed to go to time out. so i sent him there, where he proceeded to cry for 5 minutes, meanwhile wrenching my heart into a million pieces because i DID NOT want to be the mean yard-duty lady. i scrimped, i pleaded, i praised, and i feel that my efforts to become his best friend and fix the time-out incident were probably in vain.

he will forever remember the day that he cried in PE in the second grade. he will remember that he was wearing a grey sweater, and the mean byu lady put him on time out.

shameful.

oh the weekend went too fast...

hello all again, happy late october! that is so very exciting. i hope everyone has a lovely halloween costume picked out. i am going to be a halloween ballerina. yes, something along those lines, and i am quite excited. so what has happened recently?
well my family came up from california to visit me! we had the grandest time ever. =) i want them to come back. what else? i survived this past week in school. i didn't sleep ever, but i lived. pam and jim got married. that's cool. i am getting caught up in my homework so i don't die again next week. i did a double pirrouette (can't spell), even though i can't really do a single. i can do the splits on my left side. (not flexible, so this is a major accomplishment). my room is quite clean. i got pomegranite honey yesterday and ate it on biscuits. (best decision of my life). adam and i made an apple pie from scratch! fun! i got my real simple magazine in the mail and i am so very happy about it. i bought a cake decorating/recipe holiday magazine. and everything looks so delicious that i might have to make it all. =) yay! i had a bad dream about sharks again last night. i sure hope they don't move to utah. i watched the mummy. until i fell asleep. ha, it was good though. =) my room smells like pumpkin spice because i am a festive child. i can't wait for thanksgiving because my momma is gonna make the best rolls ever and i am going to eat IN N OUT! YAY! today i am making yummy red potato stuffs. it will be quite good. oh yeah, i had the worst friday ever. one of my misfortunes was when my backpack flooded (my water bottle opened), and soaked everything inside. my poor art book, and my poor baby keys. well, i think that is all. i love you all! enjoy my babbling list!
