I'm starting to fashion an idea in my head.

Something about the JSB makes people disoriented, or inconsiderate. I believe at least 20 people ran into me on my way to class. Is there something intriguing about the ground in that building? Or the sidewalk outside? That makes one feel as though they have to stare at the ground and be completely unaware of one's surroundings? Or is it simply just monday? I'm not sure. But I am utterly confused.

Swing, swing.

Thanks man, you're great!

So... since I'm making these requests of you, I'll be sure to make some promises myself :)

1. I'll finish the Book of Mormon in December!

I'm looking forward to this wonderful month of joy and giving! Cheers December!

Yours Truly,

I'd rather write a song than a business plan.

Matters of Business Today:

1. I'm nocturnal. Did I pull 2 all nighters in a row to get my sleeping habits back on track? Yes. Was I tired after 2 all nighters? Not one sip. Do I need sleeping pills or something to help me? Definitely.

2. I'm the world's worst procrastinator. It's also the world's worst habit. Behind breaking the commandments and biting your nails and stuff. I need more motivation.

3. I need a break soooo bad. I've never been so grateful for pilgrims in my life. Who knew they would save my sanity by giving me 4 days off of school?

4. I'm in love. He's so wonderful. I could listen to him and play with him all day and not get bored. The fun never stops. His name is Mo. That's my guitar for all of you who feel in the dark right now.

5. I have terrible eating habits. My typical day consists of the following... Breakfast: maybe drink a glass of juice or grab a granola bar on the way out the door. Lunch: never heard of it. Dinner: come home, raid the fridge and pantry until I remember I don't have any food and no time to go to the creamery. Eat somebody's stuff that is still sitting on the stove from a couple hours ago when they ate dinner at a normal time, not midnight when they got home from the library.

6. Petunia is growing out. Not growing up, growing out, getting large, expanding, all of the above. We need to fix that.

7. I lost the mail key... that stinks. Bad. How am I supposed to write my missionaries if I don't even get their letters? How is monday going to be good every week? Oh dear.

8. Stress does not do me good. It causes facial problems, sleeping irregularities, and social awkwardness.

9. Dr. Pepper is a Kaitlin's best friend.

10. My laundry pile is more than overflowing now. It is almost as tall as Mount Timpanogus. Disturbing, I know. Only 5 more days til I can do it!

Next verse, same as the first.

So... I had the most epic week of my life probably. Here's a summary in short.

1. Boys... are... silly.
2. I went to all classes minus 2. That's like a record.
3. I did decently on an american heritage and a physics test.
4. I spent some good time in the library.
5. I went to Love You Long Time in Provo, SO good.
6. I went to St. George on a spontaneous decision, SO fun.
7. I went to Love You Long Time and Sherwood in St. George, pretty dec.
8. I wasted at bowling. 115 baby.
9. Denny's adventures are always super fun.
10. I learned how to make pie and ate lots of it!
11. Completed ward party 3.
12. Got a white cardigan so my tie-dye can be complete!

It was basically awesome :)
