Job Hunting, Oh How I Hate You So..

Being jobless...not as great as it seems. I enjoyed the first few weeks of it, but now I am just plain out bored. I spend my life lying around and sitting on the couch. Sigh.. So I have started job hunting and let me tell you, it is so not fun. I have barely started and I am so sick of it. The worst part of is that there are not many jobs in Price that do not include handling food, and I have no desire to work with food..at all. I will not become some miserable cashier working the drive-through (no offense to those who do!).

I don't think that I could ever work at fast food! I would have some sort of freakout! I would end up like this lady here... freaking out!! Or, I would end up like this guy here..bored to tears..

So in conclusion...I really really REALLY hate job hunting.

PS~ Here are some random comics about food places that I found. Enjoy them. They are funny!!!!!

Train Station Dance

Mom showed this video to me yesterday, and I just think it is dang hilarious! She got it in an email from a friend, anyways, there are some other videos like this on you tube. One of them is where a group of people just freeze in a train station for five minutes! That is funny. But if you have already seen it, watch it anyway because it will make you smile even more! It made me laugh extremely hard!!

Senior-itis

Finally! School is almost over! At least high school anyways. But either way, I am super excited that I just started the fourth and final quarter of school. I only have about a month and a half before school gets out. And I cannot wait! Woo! Also, today I went and had my senior pictures taken. If there is anything that makes you feel really old, it is when you take your senior pictures, especially when you put on the cap and gown. We took a few of those, and boy did I feel super old. I just couldn't believe that I really am graduating in less than two months. Awkward... Even though I am old, I am sooo excited to get done with it! WOOOO!! And for your benefit/interest, I have added a countdown to the day that I will officially become a woman!! :D
~PS~ I will post my senior pictures when I get those back, but that won't be for a bit...sigh.

Apparently I can't sit with Widows...

Yesterday, I went to the Spring Glen church ward because a few of the other Seminary Council members were speaking and I wanted to hear them. Well Rebecca Goodrich and I arrived a little early (like an hour! we were told the wrong time!), and so we decided to just sit down and wait for our teacher to come. We parked ourselves on the very last comfy bench in the chapel. A few minutes later, this older lady walks in and heads right toward us. She stopped right in front of us and just stared at us. Finally she tooked at me and said, "You are in my spot." At first I thought she was just joking around, but she looked totally serious. So, trying to be polite, I simply said, "Oh I am sorry, Would you like us to move?" I thought she was going to to just say that it was alright and that she would sit somewhere else. Well instead she said, "Ya, this is the widow's bench. This is where we all sit." I just sat there shocked. I couldn't believe it! Rebecca and I just started laughing (although we toned it down because the woman was still standing there waiting). The woman then said that we could sit down at the other end of the bench, just not where we were. So we moved. As soon as we moved over, the lady immediately sat down. I just kept laughing to myself, trying not to burst out. To the side of me, Dayton Martindale (the other semiary council member speaking) and his mother were laughing so hard. They were turning their heads away to make sure that the woman did not see them laughing. I was really funny. One thing I have learned is that apparently, I can't sit with widows...

Sterling Scholar

As many of you know, I was selected as the Math Sterling Scholar for Carbon High. Well, the competition was today and I am so stinkin' glad it is over! I have been waiting for this day for 6 months! WOO! In the competition, I thought I did pretty good. I got one of the Runner-Up positions. I am perfectly happy with that! At first, I did think that I had a better shot of winning the dang thing, because I thought that I did really good on the interview and my book was really nice, I thought. But as I was looking at the other competitor's books, I knew my chance was shot. One of the other competitors, Brett, had scored a 35 on the ACT test, and a 36 on the Mathematic section. Well shoot! If any of you know the ACT grading scale, a 36 is a perfect score! There was absolutely no way that I could beat him. I just couldn't top it. But I am happy for him; I met him and he is an incredibly nice guy. So I thought I did pretty good under the circumstances. :D

We could never look at the cameras at the same time! None of us were ever smiling together! :D

Myself with my friends Rebecca and Katie, both who also were Runner-Ups for their categories, English and Music.

Do I Really Care About My Teeth?

So today during my Seminary class, we were grading things and playing some Christmas games. During that time, we also received some Starburst candy. Well I didn't want them then so I put them in my pocket for later. Later that day, I made a "fun" trip to the dentist's office. A little while ago, I discovered that one of the fillings that I had fixed like 4 months ago had chipped off. So I went back into the dentist's office today to get that taken care of. Well as I was sitting in the uncomfortable chair, some of the Starbursts from my pocket fell out. And I bet you can imagine what the dentist was thinking. Well let's just say that everyone there got a little chuckle out of it. So pretty much, they probably think that I don't care about my teeth and all that jazz; all I do is eat candy and sweets. It is a no wonder that I have bad teeth. Well honestly I do care! I just forgot to destroy the evidence that would say otherwise. :D Apparently everyone told Mom about it as well when she went in later for her checkup. Ya...I am a laughing-stock at the dentist's office now. Yay.....

Procrastination

Hey everyone! So sorry for neither mom nor I posting anything for a while. Life here in Price has been pretty hectic lately. Mom and Dad have both been crazy busy with work, and I have also been pretty busy with school and work.
As many of you know (how could you not know with Mom telling everybody she meets? that's right, even strangers practically), I was selected as the Math Sterling Scholar for this year. Well let me tell ya, it is not all that it is cracked up to be. The outcome is nice, all that you learn and everything, but the work... ugh. We have deadlines where a number of pages have to be done. Well....this coming Thursday I have 10 pages due, and let's face it, I have none done. Awesome isn't it? Well I am close on several of them, but none done. I have one word that describes my life altogether: Procrastination. Yup that's me. For my science fair project in 9th grade, I waited until like the week before to do my observations, and the night before to do my report and everything else. :D Also, I remembered last night at about 10:00 that I had a lesson that I had to teach in Young Women's today. Ya that was a shocker. I about had a heart attack right in the middle of family prayer, and I was saying it! You know, even though I procrastinate and get frustrated everytime I do it, I still do it. I haven't figured that out yet. People tell me to change my ways (mainly Mom and Dad), but I usually don't listen (don't tell Mom!).
