Whew.
This month has been a world wind of excitement for me in the blogger world.
Not only did I get my highest pageviews in a day -49.
But April...marks the highest amount of pageviews I've ever gotten!
For the month of April I got:
Drum roll please!
651 pageviews.
6 5 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is like...a new record!
I like basically doubled my previous high.
It was like 374.
You can't imagine (or maybe you can lol) my excitement upon seeing how many pageviews I got each day.
About mid month I was like.
O.O Maybe this month I can break 400!
Walla! Done.
We still have like two weeks in the month left....maybe I can break 500.
Walla! Done!
And my excitement grew and grew.
Maybe...maybe I can get 600...just maybe.
Walla! Done!
And...well I got to 651 so no 700 break through.
But guys! It's amazing!
Sooo many pageviews.
And then! To add to the excitement!
In April the total number of pageviews I received hit 5,000!
This is just....well I can't voice/write how happy this makes me. :)
But I end up with alot of these:
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D lol ^^
I just stare at the stats screen and smile. To my Russian Readers.
You, my dear readers. Are AWESOME!! :D You guys were the backbone to this whole whirlwind of pageviews!
Thanks so much for all you do! Thanks for reading my blog!
You white ninja readers you! :D
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream
I was in a battle with a rival gang. They were trying to hit us with green smoke gas things. And I was trying to keep everyone safe and well. We got them basically cornered, were about to close in...
Then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)

Isn't There Something Due Tomorrow?
This is always the weirdest part of the year.
The moment when summer vacation has come.
And I no longer need to procrastinate homework that is due tomorrow or the next day.
It's a time when one wonders...how did they end up with so much free time.
And what to do with that free time.
It's just....odd those first couple of weeks, though I had a taste of it on spring break and Christmas vacation.
But now...it's even stranger.
Why?
Because if I choose to...I will never have another homework assignment due again.
I've graduated!
Monday doesn't bring the dread of a new school week.
The knowledge that homework needs to be done.
I don't know what Monday will bring actually...
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the graduated fact.
Lol at times I feel like I've just graduated high school again.
And I'm heading out to go to college.
....but then I realize.
I've done that.
I've finished that.
No more homework for Mondays.
Tuesdays.
Wednesdays.
Thursdays.
or
Fridays.
I'm done.
Weird.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.

Sabering Graduation
So.It finally happened.
They got me.
But I came willingly.
Why?
My brother was there.
So I thought,
Why not.
They finally got to me.
Convinced me.
Because I figured...
Hey! I've just graduated!
Why not celebrate by earning some bruises?
Yep.
I went fencing.
DunDunDun
CharRoHanse was soooo happy. ;) lol
I finally suited up. Put on the mask -which was way too big for me.
And attacked!! lol
Sword in hand.
My goal?
To try and hit the other person first.
Most of the time I got hits at the same time lol.
It was fun.
Though I notice that when the pressure gets put on...I tend to squint my eyes.
Oh well :D lol
It was fun!
I ended up being really sore the next day.
But...no bruises...yet.

Convocation
You should be able to see her.
Black Robes, Green Stole, White Tassel.
You can't miss her!
And then....
walked in everyone...most of us wearing...yep.
Black robes, green stole, and a white tassel. ;)
lol no worries. That didn't happen. But I was thinking it today. :)
For today...was....basically a repeat of High School Graduation. lol.
Yep...today...we sat...and sat...and sat...
listening to name after name after major and name and major being announced.
There were around 450 of us today :)
Compared to yesterday's graduates of 4,634.
Our school of HS (not High School.) is one of the bigger schools.
And it seemed to go shorter then yesterday's convocation.
Until....the endless line of names.
And then time seemed to crawl by.
But not right away.
You see, my Language Department was the first group to be called. ^^
Sooo it went by really quick and high tense excitement for the first few minutes of name calling.
because we were standing, pictures, name called, walking across stage, diploma sleeve....weeee!! it was happening!
And then... we sat and sat and sat and sat.
AS the other...400 someodd people go their diploma sleeves. :)
I wish we could have gotten our diplomas right then.
>.<
But they have to check our grades and make sure we pass all our classes before they can give us our degree.
And apparently...that's a long process.
Since we were told not to expect them until July.
Dun dun dun. A birthday present for me then :) lol
If I pass all my classes.
;)
Ah. Sweet relief.
No more classes, no more school, no more homework, no more tests. :D
So exciting! :)
And thus...it came to pass..
That I graduated! ^^ Yes!
And what isn't a graduation without something random happening?
My random thing?
I got a phone call as I was in line.
Of course.
Important moment.
Getting ready for the calling of names and degrees.
And my phone started vibrating like crazy.
At least it was on vibrate lol :)
Who could be calling me at this important moment in my life?
The eye doctor.
My contacts are ready ;) lol
-I didn't answer the phone, I got the voice mail a while later...after everything was over with and done.
Until you next see these words;

The Dream
I had come back. Back from a different...world...from living underwater.
But not to stay. i was just dropping by my home.
Because I was homesick, I needed to pick something up.
I was trying to avoid seeing anybody I knew...because I knew I couldn't stay.
But then, my younger sister Rachel opened the white door of our red brick house.
And...i couldn't leave. She was so surprised and happy to see me.
I also saw my other sister Stephanie as well, and we ended up having a party...in my parents backyard. Where the Schaers, and Gibbs family was.
They were having a family reunion party. And all were happy to see me.
I went up and down the food line.
Getting fruit, veggies, and huge burrito sized...penine? noodles? I sat down to eat...
and then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)

Commencement
The bagpipes start up. Playing their progressive tune.
Four lines of black, follow follow.
Step by step.
Excitement grows.
Eyes well up with Tears
Nervousness, Happiness, Joy, and a sense of Destiny.
We march.
Through two lines of color.
Teachers, mentors, family, friends.
Waving, clapping congratulating.
As the symphony starts up the familiar tune
the sound of completion, a job well done.
And thus we step forward.
To our destiny.
Where our Tassels move from right.
To left.
And thus.
Graduation Happened.
....Or at least the Commencement ;)

Shouldn't I Be Working On Something?
FREEEEEEDOOOMMMM!!!!
FREEEDOOOMMM!!!
FREEDOM!!!
...... O.o
Now what?
haha!
Today was my last day of finals!
YES!
:D
But as I sit here...
I feel a bit anxious.
There has been homework to do for so long....
It feels so weird that I'm now done with homework...
I keep looking about,
searching for an assignment that should be due tomorrow.
But I don't find one.
For which I'm glad.
Because the last three or four homework assignments...
I've barely gotten done before class started.
I've procrastinated them to the day of that it's due.
Not the night before.
So, while it feels weird.
I'm glad I don't have homework....
because I seriously am running on empty in that department.
I can't find the will to do it.
So I'm glad I no longer need to worry about something being due tomorrow.
No more homework! YAY!! :D lol
FREEEEEEDOOOMMMM!!!

Surprise!!!
I love being surprised.
It's fun to have something unexpected happen to you. :)
Especially when there were hints everywhere that there was something up.
Lol, it may be my love of surprises that convinces me that the reasons given to me are legitimate reasons and there is no ulterior motive going on. :)
What happened?
Well, Sunday evening my sister and I went to the LDC concert at the Institute.
My roommate Ti was supposed to come with us.
And my other roommate Kah had gone home for the weekend.
Right before that concert, Ti said that she wasn't going to go after all.
I was like "Oh, okay." I wasn't going to push it. I figured she had something else come up. Finals week is this week after all. There is a lot of studying to be done. Or perhaps she wasn't feeling well. Anywho, I didn't push it. If she suddenly didn't want to come. she didn't want to come.
Kikay and I went to the concert, loved it, and then we headed home.
As we walked along the hallway to our door.
Kikay dashed ahead and banged loudly upon the door.
I laughed and said "Well, you probably just scared Ti."
Unlocked the door and walked in.
I saw balloons and thought. Oh that's cool! Balloons hey one says graduation.
Let Kikay in, turn around shut the door. Turn back and suddenly
Everyone is jumping out yelling: SURPRISE!!!
Totally scared/surprised me.
IT WAS AWESOME! :D
My roommates all got together and gave me a graduation party! ^^
Lol they had to do it Sunday because Kah would be gone for when I actually graduate.
lol Kah was there as well! She'd come back early!
Definitely a surprise.
But there was more. Besides awesome balloons
(I've randomly decided I love balloons. They make me smile. :) )
And graduation decorations. My Roomies got me a Chocolate Chip Ice cream Cake!!!
Sparkling Cider! And a Card! With a gift card!
Ha! It was awesome. :D I just look at the balloons and smile ^^ Love those things.
I'm so grateful for my roomies ^^

Slowly Moving Fast
You know those dreams, where you try to do something quickly....like run, or get ready for the day...and you just can't seem to go fast. Everything is in slower motion?
Well...that seemed to happen with me today...when I wasn't dreaming.
I was taking a final, that was timed, and it was getting down to the wire to finish. I still had a bunch to write, so I was trying to hurry as fast as I could, but I felt like I could only move slowly.
I could type fast. But then anytime I needed to use my mouth...it would move slowly. It seemed like I was running for a door that wasn't getting any closer. Time was ticking by, I was clicking around, trying to get to the right page to get my information, the right page to type, typing... I felt so fuzzy headed, that the whole situation seemed unreal.
Needless to say. I was glad to finally get my test turned in. My hands were literally shaking from trying to move fast, but from being tired....

Ghost Adventure Voices
Soo...I spent last night....
Procrastinating that stu--that problematic essay...that would not be written in a way that I liked...
Anywho, I turned on the TV.
And, there didn't seem to be anything on...except when I turned on the TV it was on this channel which was showing the tv show:
Ghost Adventures.
Dun dun dun.
Not the best idea to watch a ghost show -where people enter haunted buildings that have ghostly activity to try and catch things on film happening that are unearthy like sounds, movements, shadows, spots...things like that....
Anyway it's not the best idea to watch a ghost show...when it's dark....and you're by yourself.
And yet...I couldn't switch away to a different channel.
It was fascinating in a 'it feels like there may be somebody standing behind me so I have chills down my back as things happen' way.
Plus...one of my roommates came home. :) So I felt more justified in being able to watch the show lol :)
It was just....fascinating.
I was particularly interested in the 'voice recordings' that these guys on Ghost Hunters got on tape.
Sometimes I could hear clearly what was being said...othertimes...I could barely tell that anything was out of the ordinary. In any case I was basically almost glued to the screen thinking to myself "What will the ghosts say next?! Will it be a girls voice or a guy's voice?"
Plus, it was interesting...that the voices wouldn't always answer the questions that people would ask. Sometimes they would respond to the questions. Othertimes, their statements didn't match at all. It was weird. I wonder if they were saying more, but the electronic recorder things were only catching bits of it.
Some of those voices were downright creepy/scary....saying things like "A demon lives here." "Hide" "don't leave me" "help me!" :S
Again, I couldn't tear myself away...lol but I came in on a 'good' episode...where the investigator people were in a hospital that had been shut down...really quickly. There had apparently been...too many deaths in that hospital...idk...anyway the place had been left so quickly, that there were still alot of hospital things there. It looked like in some places that the inhabitants had just left the room and were going to come back at any moment.
It was freaky, and totally hooked me with all the ghostly activity. Insomuch...that I stayed up way too late lol.
Still I enjoyed the thrill of "there's somebody there!!" oooooooo.
Now...to try and find it on tv again.... lol.
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.

The Dream
...It only makes sense that after watching a few hours of ghost shows right in a row before heading to bed...that I would dream of ghosts.
It dealt with a family of dead people...trying to come back to life I think...or trying to save one of their own from a horrible fate. The dream had a green tinge to it...and probably was reminiscent of some previews of ParaNorman and Frankenweenie I saw O.o both creepy zombie ghost movies...that were tinted green. *shudders* creepiness.
Then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)

Trying to Write....
.....I intensely dislike writing essays....one more to go....just...need....to....write....it. Agh. >.<
Okay! Guys...that took waaaay longer then it was supposed to.
I really don't like writing essays...like really don't like them.
Why?
Because I can never figure out how to start the thing!
Plus...when I'm not sure how the paper is supposed to go...if it's an opinion paper or a research paper or what...then...I struggle.
I mean really struggle.
It took me staying up til 5am Monday morning to write this one last final paper. XP
I for the life of me couldn't figure out how to write it!
So, annoying.
and I'm still not happy with it.
But by this point...I was sick of it, it was due.
So I said "This is it!"
After all....
I can't fail a paper if I turn it in right?
I can't fail the class if I turn in the paper....even if it isn't my best work.
I tried what I could try when senioritious has me firmly in it's grip.
But it's over now. I can relax in that particular class. :)
Yay :)

I'll be watching the leaves.

Okay! Guys...that took waaaay longer then it was supposed to.
I really don't like writing essays...like really don't like them.
Why?
Because I can never figure out how to start the thing!
Plus...when I'm not sure how the paper is supposed to go...if it's an opinion paper or a research paper or what...then...I struggle.
I mean really struggle.
It took me staying up til 5am Monday morning to write this one last final paper. XP
I for the life of me couldn't figure out how to write it!
So, annoying.
and I'm still not happy with it.
But by this point...I was sick of it, it was due.
So I said "This is it!"
After all....
I can't fail a paper if I turn it in right?
I can't fail the class if I turn in the paper....even if it isn't my best work.
I tried what I could try when senioritious has me firmly in it's grip.
But it's over now. I can relax in that particular class. :)
Yay :)
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

A New Blogger Look
So.
Today I logged into Blogger.
And what did I see?
A whole new layout.
:S
And it's very very white.
O.o Why is it that when anything 'updates' itself.
The updates tend to make everything whiter?
Soo much blank color.
Which is part of the reason why I haven't switched over before now.
(I only switched over now, because I was forced to. I had no say ;) lol)
Because...I don't like things that are white. At first. It's too....'sterile.' It's like the website no longer has a personality, when it did before. It's been...boringized to futuristic blahness.
I didn't like it when they did it to Gaiaonline.
I didn't like it when they did it to Facebook.
And I....
Well....I'm actually liking this new update to blogger.
I mean I looked at it...months and months ago. And didn't like it.
O.o Boring white.
But they people must have done something in between then and now.
Or else...I was resigned to the fact that the change was going to happen whether I liked it or not.
And I had been warned about it in advance. :) Which was nice.
So...I was a bit more open minded with this change.
It's definitely cool. :)
There will be some things that I need to get used to.
Like the new positions of things.
But the changes that they've made...have made navigating around blogger easier. :D
Plus!
I discovered a cool little feature that has me really excited!
You see. When I view the list of past blogs I've done...
Instead of just seeing the name and date of the post and if there was a comment.
I can now see....
How many pageviews each post I've posted has received!!
Can you say AWESOME?!?!
It is Awesome!
-And I still have no idea what you have to do to have something show up as a pageview...I almost thing it's when you Google something and click on my link...but I have no real idea.
Still. Pageviews are awesome!
And now I can see how many each post has gotten!
Sooo exciting! :D
I've often wondered before. And it was one of the things I mourned in the old blogger system. I could only see how many pageviews I got if they were in the top five of the now/day/week/month/total.
And I wanted to know how many pageviews I had for a particular post.
Now I can know!
Super super sweet!
:D
And kinda fun as well.
Because I went through and counted. :)
And I have around 101 posts that have never had a pageview.
Which is both sad...and exciting.
Sad- aww poor post hasn't been pageviewed! Y_Y
Exciting- Sweet! this post hasn't been pageviewed. There is still a bit of mystery to this blog! :) lol
Then I wonder...how long will it take for those 101 posts to get a pageview?
Dun dun dun! A challenge! haha :)
I don't know how long it would take to have every post get one page view.... :D But it will be fun to find out! haha :)
^^ Yay for new beginnings! :)
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

April 1990 Conference Sunday Morning
Wow, I haven't done this for a while. :) Yay for not needing to do them so often I suppose lol :)
But today seems...like a good day to do one since I have a headache. :)
Here are highlights from reading the April 1990 Sunday Morning talks. :)
Thomas S. Monson -"A Little Child Shall Lead Them"
-"Goodnight, angels."
-The poet described a child so recently with its Heavenly Father as "a sweet new blossom of humanity, fresh fallen from God's own home to flower on earth."
-These children can now look in the mirror and marvel at a miracle in their own lives.
-Smiles are restored, spirits lifted, and futures enhanced.
Howard W. Hunter -Standing as Witnesses of God
-The ability to stand by one's principles, to live with integrity and faith according to one's belief--that is what matters, that is the difference between a contribution and a commitment. That devotion to true principle--in our individual lives, in our homes and families, and in all places where we meet and influence other people--that devotion is what God is ultimately requesting of us.
-"How do [we] feel about honor and integrity? what is [our] reaction to polite lying to facilitate easy social [relationships]? How much tolerance have [we] for either suppression or misrepresentation of facts to promote business advantage? Do [we] accept without compunction the old adage, that all's fair in love and war and politics and college athletics?...
-I may not be able to eliminate...trash, but my family and I need not buy or view it.
-I can stay away from areas of questioned honor and ill repute.
-I can keep my own home a congenial one, my marriage happy, my home a heaven, and my children well adjusted.
-I can guarantee devotion to all high ideals and standards in my own home, and I can work toward giving my own family a happy, interdependent spiritual life.
-I can be honest and upright, full of integrity and true honor.
-Surely that home is strongest and most beautiful in which we find each person sensitive to the feelings of others, striving to serve others, striving to live at home the principles we demonstrate in more public settings. We need to try harder to live the gospel in our family circles. our homes deserve our most faithful commitments. A child has the right to feel that in his home he is safe, that there he has a place of protection from the dangers and evils of the outside world. Family unity and integrity are necessary to supply this need. A child needs parents who are happy in their relationship to each other, who are working happily toward the fulfillment of ideal family living, who love their children with a sincere and unselfish love, and who are committed to the family's success.
-Just imagine the reversal that would take place if full integrity were to rule in family life.
-A successful life, the good life, the righteous Christian life requires something more than a contribution, though every contribution is valuable. Ultimately it requires commitment--whole souled, deeply held, eternally cherished commitment to the principles we know to be true in the commandments God has given.
Carlos E. Asay -"One Small Step for a Man; One Giant Leap for Mankind"
-Greatness is measured by men in many ways. It is generally equated with size, cost, quantity, and position. God, however, has a better way, "for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are [His] ways higher than [man's] ways." In God's eyes, greatness is equated with light, truth, goodness, and service.
Marvin J. Ashton -"Neither Boast of Faith Nor of Mighty Works"
-"For I would not have you declare yourself to the world until you have proved your worthiness. Wherefore do not proclaim your name but wait until the world proclaimeth it."
-"But Ammon said unto him: I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God.
-Our Savior, Jesus Christ, to whose Church we belong, would be disappointed if we ever created the impression that the efforts and the hard work put forth to build his kingdom were based only on the wisdom and power of man.
-Humble, quite, compassionate service is so soul-rewarding; who would need to point out the subject or location of kindly deeds?
-How easy is it for man to believe that temporal success has been achieved by his own skills and labor. Everything good comes from the Lord.
-Our appreciation should be sincerely felt and gratitude expressed frequently to our Father in Heaven--but not too vocally to the world.
-May we all be gratefully aware of the source of our blessings and strengths, and refrain from taking undue credit for personal accomplishments.
-Boasting, whether it be done innocently or otherwise, is not good. Too frequently it creates an impression of more interest in self than in others.
-Those who have records that continue to impress are those who point out and who truly acknowledge the strengths of teammates, coaches, managers, and thank God himself for extra talents and abilities.
-Opponents in athletic competitions seem to lie in wait to clobber those who boast in their own strength.
-It pleases God to have us humbly recognize his powers and his influence in our accomplishments rather than to indicate by words or innuendo that we have been responsible for remarkable achievements.
-"The tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things."
-The boasting or conceited person in life is not expected by his peers to achieve great heights because he conveys an attitude he is already there.
-Boasting will be erased when we seek the Lord's help and thank him for all we have and are.
Gordan B. Hinckley -Blessed Are the Merciful
-I love you for your faith and faithfulness. I love you for the integrity of your lives. I love you for your desire to live as the Lord would have you live and for the effort you are making to do so.
-I plead for a stronger spirit of compassion in all of our relationships, a stronger element of mercy, for the promise is sure that if w are merciful we shall obtain mercy.
-"And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain."
-I twas He who, while hanging on the cross in dreadful agony, cried out, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."
-How great a thing is mercy. Most often it is quiet and unassuming. It receives few headlines. It is the antithesis of vengeance and hatred, of greed and offensive egotism.
-I speak to fathers and mothers everywhere with a plea to put harshness behind us, to bridle our anger, to lower our voices, and to deal with mercy and love and respect one toward another in our homes.
-Let us be more merciful. Let us get the arrogance out of our lives, the conceit, the egotism. Let us be more compassionate, gentler, filled with forbearance and patience and a greater measure of respect one for another. In so doing, our very example will cause others to be more merciful, and we shall have greater claim upon the mercy of God who in His love will be generous toward us.
-"For behold, are we not all beggars? do we not all depend upon the same Being, even God, for all the substance which we have, for both food and raiment, and for gold, and for silver, and for all the riches which we have of every kind?..."

Spaces in the Spine
So, today in Dabo's class.
We were talking about the Spine.
And he asked for a volunteer so he could show us vertebrae alignment or something.
I volunteered.
Dun, dun, dun.
Why?
Well...I was curious to see how my spine alignment was.
I mean...a couple of years ago or so....
One of my cousins, told me, after I was having problems with torso pain...that my ribs were out of alignment. And she would put them back in.
The pain went away. :)
I think the pain also disappeared...because I got better roommates the next year lol. :) So I was less stressed.
but anyway.
Dabo did a similar thing where he would place his hand on my spine and feel the knobs.
He would say "Oh that one's to the left slightly." or "this one is doing this."
haha and then he'd add in "Does that hurt?"
I would turn to him like O.o and say "Uh...No."
He did that more with the vertebrae between my shoulder blades.
Does that hurt? Oh, that should hurt. You sure that doesn't hurt?
Yes...Dabo, I'm sure it doesn't hurt.
-lol My cousin would tell me the same thing. This must be hurting you!
Uh...not really no.
Of course...after he moved away from the spot it started to hurt.
The same thing happened with my cousin.
Well it didn't hurt until you touched it! :P lol.
I have to wonder then...did it actually hurt at all....or am I now just getting sympathetic impulses?
Oh, they said this should hurt. Okay! *signals* Vertebrae you can hurt now! *salute* Aye Aye Captain Brain!
The thing Dabo also brought up, was that the brain will ignore things, that 'hurt' us. Until it 'hurts something else.' So unless attention is brought to the fact that something isn't fine, the brain will assume it's fine.
And then once it's aware of the problem...
well my back has been aching off and on since that point because the brain has been alerted that my back hurts. :P haha.
In any case. I have a bit of a delayed reaction in "does that hurt." Because it actually didn't. It takes another couple of minutes for the brain to realize that that point actually did hurt and does hurt lol.
Anyway. Dabo made his way down my spine commenting and asking if other points hurt further down and then he stopped.
"That's weird" he mutters. "there's a space there. There shouldn't be a space there." he moves his hand down another vertebrae and stops. "there's another space here too...is your spine really curved to the left or something?"
I was like
O.O I HAVE SPACES?!?! HOW AM I ABLE TO SUPPORT MYSELF IF SOME OF MY VERTEBRAE ARE GONE?!!?
I respond. "I don't think so..."
And he was like "huh, that's weird." and told me that I could go sit down.
Hyper awareness of my spine happened afterwards lol.
And I didn't get a chance to ask him until a couple of hours later.
"Dabo...what did you mean that I had spaces in my spine?"
And he was like "Oh, your vertebrae is really deep under your skin, I can't feel it, I probably could if I pushed hard, but I didn't want to give you a bruise."
"Oh, okay." A bit of panic went away. ;) haha.
So yah, apparently my spine is a bit weird. ;) lol
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.

The EarthQuake ShakeOut
So Today,
For reasons unknown to me.
My state had a state wide Earth Quake preparation thing.
I think it was for the schools only.
Though I heard that at least one hospital had an 'earthquake day'
Where volunteers could come and be treated for 'wounds' they 'got' from the 'earthquake'
But basically the idea was that at 10:15 this morning,
All the schools across the state would set off their fire alarms...or earthquake soundtrack I suppose.
-When I was in Elementary School we had a rumbling soundtrack that would play over the intercom that signaled we were in an earthquake.
Since my college doesn't have an intercom system. (Do any colleges have that?)
We had to tolerate a minute of ear blasting beeps/shrieks/whatever the noise the fire alarm makes.
I think this drill might have been done because the area I live in....is a bit overdue for an earthquake because we live next to a fault line.
So what happened?
I was in class at the the 10:15 marker. :) Yay! Because I didn't want to miss my first earthquake drill since like 4th grade. :P
Well in my CJ class (A class filled with mostly guys.)
Wasn't that excited for the drill.
And the guys were complaining that they couldn't fit under the desks.
Some of the girls were complaining too....
lol I wasn't. I knew I could fit underneath. ;) I'm petite enough. lol.
So the teacher compromised and said that we would only have to be on the floor for 10-15 seconds.
Booooo >.<
And that they wouldn't have to go under the desks, just be on the floor.
Booo.
And then the alarm sounded.
I got under the desk. Hehe :)
Yay for being small! lol :)
:( And then it was done, we got back up off the floor when the teacher said we could.
And endured another 30 seconds of fire alarm noises.
Before continuing class. :(
booo.
I had fun though, it was exciting. Thinking "I may be in an earthquake!" haha :P
But I was also thinking. "You know...I read a thingymababer email from my Great Grandma about how being under a desk isn't safe during an earthquake because the desk could collapse...and that it's better to be next to an object taller then you..." something like that. I don't think anywhere is 'safe' during an earthquake. It's all up to chance on how the pieces above you fall and whether or not you get hurt from them.
Anyway. I liked that we had an earthquake drill. :D
Why?
Haha...In Elementary School the Principal referred to me as the EarthQuake Girl.
Why?
Because I was always going into Mrs. Park's office and asking her "When will we have our next EarthQuake drill?"
Yes. I loved having the drills.
The rumbling over the intercom.
The tense excited chatter from the students.
The fact that we didn't have to learn for a couple of minutes...
lol I enjoyed the Earthquake drills. They were more fun to me then having to march outside in who knows what weather and stand there waiting for the fire drill.
No Earthquake drills were cool! You could hide under your desk! :D
lol.
Sadly, I think after 3rd grade...maybe 4th grade. We didn't have them anymore. :( Maybe we had it once....idk. The Principal kept telling me we would have it soon....and then it never happened.
Anyway.
I liked the little walk back down memory lane today. :) Back to the days of Earthquake drills and camping out underneath our desks. :) lol.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

I liked the little walk back down memory lane today. :) Back to the days of Earthquake drills and camping out underneath our desks. :) lol.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

Let the Alarms Choose
So I've been sick. Not fun, especially since I've been a bit sleep deprived.
Well today, I didn't have the usual early morning Institute LDSSA meeting I've had throughout the year. Because we passed the torch...so meetings are over.
But last night when I went to bed...
I thought to myself...I should get up and see if anybody shows up to the meeting so that we can party or something!
And then I was like...Sarnic, you've been sick, you're tired. Let your body recover, you don't have class for another couple hours after the meeting, sleep in!
So what did I do?
I set my cell phone alarm. One at a time where I could go to the meeting. The other one where I would need to wake up to get ready for my first class of the day. and to make sure I woke up for my classes I put my radio alarm about the same time.
And then went to bed, thinking. I will wake up when I'm supposed to wake up. :) lol
What happened?
I was out.
I mean OUT.
Like. Went to bed and woke up in the same position out!
Needless to say, I did not hear my 'go see if somebody is there' alarm at all.
Nope I didn't.
But I did hear my class alarms :)
So there. Problem solved.
The choice was made to sleep in! :) Yes! And I feel so much better today because of it. ^^
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.

The Dream
I was on a trip with a group of friends.
Hiking around.
But my bag of stuff i packed....well apparently I didn't pack that well.
I didn't have any clothes...it was like I'd just grabbed my school bag...and it had a pretty big hole in the back of it, so I had a bunch of school supplies, but no camping 'I'm going to be gone for a few days' stuff. :S So we were heading back to the cabin in this mountain cabiny area, to pick up some things of mine.
But as we were walking through the trees along the side of the road.
All these...FBI type vehicles started driving along.
The whole "we need to catch a person" type of scenario.
With helicopters and cars and spotlights.
And they were after me....they were after a guy named Luke.
why? Because Luke was a werewolf and they wanted to catch him because he was dangerous.
We tried to disappear up a loop road that went up the canyon and back,
but they had set up spotlights in a particularly thick area of the forest, where you could only get through one way and set up a camera system as well, so nothing could move through that spot without being seen. And I didn't want to risk being seen, because they didn't know where I was. If I was on the loop road already or not.
So I hung back, trying to figure out a way to get out of this.
And ended up sneaking around a camping trailer...
Then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)

Passing the Torch
Today has been....rather bitter-sweet.
You see...today we 'Passed the Torch'
Meaning...the LDSSA is now comprised of new council people.
And "The Council" has now been released.
lol throughout the whole proceedings I had a few lines from different songs going through my head.
"I am in misery, there ain't no one there to comfort me."
"Lonely, I am so lonely."
"1 is the loneliest number."
It's just....sad. I've enjoyed being on council so much ^^
And now...It's time to go back in the ranks.
To position of Committee member if I so choose to do that. lol.
I don't know if I will...after being in charge...
I'll see how my schedule is next Fall. :)
The new guys seem to be a good pair lol.
They have no idea what they're doing,
and they have that 'deer in the headlights' look.
But I think they'll do great, once they've been trained up a bit. :)
I don't think it really hit me that this was the real deal...
until the new council got up and started conducting.
Then. I felt as if the power had passed from me.
On to the next generation. :(
*sighs*
I am in misery.....;) haha.
Okay, so the song actually is running through my head because I have a bit of a cold going on.
It fits with today's situation of passing the torch,
basically, I'm miserable in body and mind.
But like fellow council members have said.
:) Onto new horizons! :)
Oh.
Remember that random conversation I had with El Daen the other day?
Well today...I, along with five others, received gifts for 'being on time' to our Monday morning meetings. For going the extra mile.
Heh. I feel a bit guilty. I was late to one meeting....so the 'on time' part doesn't apply to me, but the 'being there' does as well as 'going the extra mile'
So what was in the goodie bag?
A sobe drink. :) (I gave that to my co-chair)
A chocolate bar of great proportions. ;) King size. Maybe Kingdom size?
And two LDC cds. ^^
Lol. Those are Christ like I suppose. :) But no Christ/Angel statue.
The fun thing is that one of the LDC cds that I got...
I had just barely returned to my first year roommate...after having borrowed it for almost a year haha. :)
^^ Yay for 'getting it back' haha! :D
So the Torch has been Passed.
Good Luck New Co Chairs. :)

Cellphone Ping Pong
You know how you do....odd things when your bored?
Well.
For the first time in a blue moon, I played ping pong with a friend.
We were just having fun.
He's a master, I just like to play for fun.
lol I was holding up pretty well against him, but I don't think he was really focused on winning.
Just on playing the game. :)
But the guys next to us.
Took the game to a different level.
You see, they were playing with their cellphones.
Yep. Cellphones.
Hitting the ball back and forth.
I think they had droids...ipodphones...phones that are flat and wider.
Well my buddy and I decided to try the same thing.
lol.
We weren't as successful.
I just have a flip phone, so it's rather narrow and small.
My friend's wasn't much bigger. lol.
We went back to paddles pretty quickly.
I had fun though ^^
I hope to do it again soon. :)

Shiny Golden Flower
So like most things...
I'm picky with my jewelry.
Specifically this time around, I'm focusing on bracelets.
I tend to not go for the fully girly and glittery things.
Sure, it can be shiny.
mostly I prefer my jewelry to be simple.
Small, quick to put on, not jangly/noisy.
For example I really like Leather Bracelets.
It doesn't matter what kind. Braided, or strapped.
I love to wear them ^^
Here is my current favorite:
Just a strip of dark leather.
With some designs in it, though those are a bit faint to see in this picture. :)
But today.
I went a bit out of the normal range of jewelry.
Not totally off the scale on complex.
But not as 'simple' as I usually have it.
Because Today, at a Deaf Studies Today! Conference, they had shops selling stuff.
And a place called Seago Lilly had jewelry! :)
Always fun.
And I found this nice piece ^^
It's a bit girly. It has pink bits, and is covered in flowers.
But still simple enough and non pinchy...that I got it. :)
I don't know how often I'll wear it. :)
But I think it would fit in at church easier then my leather bracelets. :) lol
With it's sparkly gold shininess. :)
Still, I like it ^^
It's something different ^^

The 11th Height of Giddiness
Could you readers be any more awesome?!
No, no you cannot...at least not as of today.
Tomorrow could be a totally different story.
I've been in a constant state of giddiness since I woke up this morning and glanced at my blog before school.
You guys are awesome!
Why?
Because today, for some reason...for some reason the 11th of April was a good day to view my blog.
I got 49 page views for my 'blog' day (5:30pm-5:30pm) today!! :D
Guys...this is a big deal. I nearly reached 50 views!
It's a new record! (the previous had been like 32.)
And I'm so giddy ^^ haha.
You guys are awesome to make today a special day for me. ^^
Anything else I wanted to say today...has totally gone out the window. ^^
Because I felt really popular today because of you guys ^^
Thanks so much! :D

The Dream
It started with CharRoHanse, Kikay and I sitting in the library...or some building that was by my apartment. My apartment is in building 3, and we were in building 1 on the main floor, but it was like I was in a room in the parking lot...I don't know...I was doing a study group with CharRoHanse, Kikay and maybe a couple others, when Char said that that math guy was back again.
I was like...math guy?
Yah math guy. He sits in his car in the drop off section, smoking, and just hanging out. It's creepy.
I looked in that direction...maybe vaguely saw something like a red car. and I agreed that it was creepy.
But then I was distracted by a big white truck coming around the corner of the building. He was pulling a huge long white camping trailer. Like the big big versions that aren't drivable. I don't even know how the truck got the trailer into that section of the parking lot I was in. Because there's a yellow metal bar goal post looking thing that crosses over the road limiting the height of vehicles into that section of the parking lot. But the truck and trailer made it, and behind them on a leash, line being towed was another truck, this one blue. And nobody was in the drivers seat. It was just being towed willy nilly behind the trailer.
And that was when the Ru Goldberg Machine type action started.
(the concept of making a device with multiple steps to do a simple task.)
I watched in horror as the blue truck hit multiple parked cars, and knocked one white truck with a cap on the bed into the middle of the lot, facing the bridge and it started moving down the slope.
Suddenly a police car screamed around the bend, chasing after the trailer, truck truck duo. It passed by the white car that had now become a flat bed float looking thing and the police car slowed down so that it could 'catch' the trailer behind it, as more white police cars raced after the now speeding destructive trio. The trio crossed the train tracks, and one police car ...spun out? Driving along the track (I had an overhead view) but it only got a short distance when everything shook...a train horn. OH NO! A train was coming down the railroad track! the police car spun trying to get back to the main road, but it was too late. The car was hit. -only the front end by the train, and it caused such a bump that the police car sent the train off the tracks and over the bridge it was going over. It slammed into a stopped train comprised of boxcars, and that exploded, and on the side of the cliff was a huge contraption of ropes and pulleys, that when released made music, it sung a familiar tune, from an orchestra as other things went plummeting into the water. I was suddenly in the water, watching the action from below as the ropes were loosened, a big plastic tarp slide was placed over the water, and a bunch of rocks...balls? marbles? slide down the slide, right towards me. I managed to float and twist myself out of the way of these small orbs. ^^ yay for not getting hit. I don't know what the orbs triggered, but then...it seemed like hot coal...or something on fire...came down the shoot and slide into the water underneath me. I had to lift up my back to avoid the heat from the sand...and it seemed like that was it. But I thought that there should be more....
But then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)

Cross Wireless
The Internet around Happy Valley has been weird today.
I got to school this morning, ready to do a presentation if I happened to be called on,
by using my ipod to pull up my paper from my email.
But...when I sat down and tried to access the Internet....
The Internet wouldn't get me pass the 'you must have an ID and password' page.
I mean I put all the info in like a dozen times.
The thing seemed to be stuck on a loop no matter what I did....unless I was logging into other college related websites and then it worked just fine.
but anything non school related.
And I was stuck at a stupid log in loop. >.< grrr.
Luckily, the teacher decided to finally hand back our papers today. ^^
So I had a hard copy in front of me that I could use since my Ipod was being frisky.
I got a 135/150 on that paper. Which I think is pretty good....considering I wrote the thing like 5 hours before it was due. I'm grateful that I was able to get a good grade. ^^
Anywho...I didn't get called upon. (yay!)
And life went on.
Oddly enough, my Internet access was just fine in the institute.
lol. Though the institute has a completely different Internet...server? It's not connected to the school's Internet. you need a different password.
And that worked! :D It usually does ^^ Yay! lol :)
But then....when I got home.... :(
The Internet at home wasn't working.
Actually our wireless wasn't working.
I could connect to some random linksys wireless,
but the one that was in my apartment...wasn't working.
O.o
I don't know why.
But when Kikay finally came home.
She hit a button....I'm guessing it was the button I should have been hitting....hmm so many random buttons! And walla! The Internet works!
lol, Methinks she inherited my Mom's gift
of not knowing exactly how the electronic works, but by pressing the right buttons....makes it work.
She does that for wireless, printers, sometimes computers, ipods...it's amazing!
:D Yay for Kikay being here ^^ lol, otherwise I probably would have been stuck on linksys for a long time. :S
Which wasn't bad...but it was confining.
I could only get a signal in my room.
Nowhere else.
So that limited my TV interactions today lol :)
I guess that's not a bad thing. ;)
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream
I was in Dabo's class, and we were doing the taped up wrist/elbows thing again. I had chosen to tape up my elbows, but somehow I ended up continuously taping up my wrists, and when I had someone else help me tape up my elbows, I felt like I could still bend them, even though I put pencils on both sides to prevent them from moving, I could still move them. I realized that I had taped the wrong area of my arm when I went to get a drink of water, and realized I could bend my arms to get the water to my mouth. I ended up having to go out to the farmhouse...where some creepy rednecks lived -they reminded me of the family off of Pete's Dragon- and I ended up getting into trouble there...being chased...
Then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)

I got a 135/150 on that paper. Which I think is pretty good....considering I wrote the thing like 5 hours before it was due. I'm grateful that I was able to get a good grade. ^^
Anywho...I didn't get called upon. (yay!)
And life went on.
Oddly enough, my Internet access was just fine in the institute.
lol. Though the institute has a completely different Internet...server? It's not connected to the school's Internet. you need a different password.
And that worked! :D It usually does ^^ Yay! lol :)
But then....when I got home.... :(
The Internet at home wasn't working.
Actually our wireless wasn't working.
I could connect to some random linksys wireless,
but the one that was in my apartment...wasn't working.
O.o
I don't know why.
But when Kikay finally came home.
She hit a button....I'm guessing it was the button I should have been hitting....hmm so many random buttons! And walla! The Internet works!
lol, Methinks she inherited my Mom's gift
of not knowing exactly how the electronic works, but by pressing the right buttons....makes it work.
She does that for wireless, printers, sometimes computers, ipods...it's amazing!
:D Yay for Kikay being here ^^ lol, otherwise I probably would have been stuck on linksys for a long time. :S
Which wasn't bad...but it was confining.
I could only get a signal in my room.
Nowhere else.
So that limited my TV interactions today lol :)
I guess that's not a bad thing. ;)
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream
I was in Dabo's class, and we were doing the taped up wrist/elbows thing again. I had chosen to tape up my elbows, but somehow I ended up continuously taping up my wrists, and when I had someone else help me tape up my elbows, I felt like I could still bend them, even though I put pencils on both sides to prevent them from moving, I could still move them. I realized that I had taped the wrong area of my arm when I went to get a drink of water, and realized I could bend my arms to get the water to my mouth. I ended up having to go out to the farmhouse...where some creepy rednecks lived -they reminded me of the family off of Pete's Dragon- and I ended up getting into trouble there...being chased...
Then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)

Saving the World
So you know how I have Dabo twice for classes?
lol. Well he happened to have given us a midterm on the same day.
And today, he took me aside...leaned in and whispered...
That he had mixed up my grades. So the grade I had in Class 1 for the test...is actually the grade for Class 2 and vis versa.
lol. It didn't really matter much to me. One class I got 90 the other 95.
But since he hadn't realized his mistake for a couple of days...the score I got on the test, is the actual score I got on 'that classes' test.
Dun Dun Dun.
lol, also apparently, something funny happened on Friday....where Dabo thought of me,
and that he needed to tell me this thing that happened....even told everyone that if they saw me, that they should tell me to go to his office....I had left pretty soon after Dabo's last class...so they wouldn't have seen me lol.
Only come Monday...he can't remember what it was lol. :)
I hope he eventually remembers.
Because I'm really curious now.
What possibly could have been said that would remind Dabo of me?
I don't know...but it is intriguing since I'm pretty much a silent spectator for his classes.
Occasionally I'll comment...
Hopefully he remembers. I want to know what made him think of me, and why he thought it would be funny....
I think it may have something to do with being left handed....since he's left handed as well...
but he denied that.
Soo we'll see. :D
In other news....
I was in the Institute Main Office today....doing Publicity stuff.
And El Daen (the head secretary)
Asked me... What do I want right now, in my life?
Without hesitation, I replied "A Boyfriend."
lol, for some reason that cracked every up in the office.... *shrugs*
She asked me again and I was like... "A job?"
Then she finally clarified the question.
"What Material thing do you need right now in life?"
O.o
I really need to be more prepared for these off the wall questions.
What Material thing did I need?
O.o
I couldn't think of anything I needed.
I mean...I have books, I have my cellphone, Ipod, laptop....
I'm covered lol :)
I didn't 'need' anything. I was content with what I had.
So halfway teasing I was like. Uh....an Ipad? O.o
lol that didn't go over well.
El Daen was like "something less expensive."
And I was like. O.o
Uhh.....let me think about that, and I'll get back to you. lol.
As I left I was like "A Barnes and Noble gift card."
That got a few smiles and nods.
But as I went to class, I got to thinking...that those are rather expensive as well... $25 or so.
I could ask for an Itunes card....but again...those are getting rather expensive, and I had no idea what 'not expensive' meant to El Daen.
So I sat in class trying to figure it out.
Trying to guess why she wanted to know 'what material thing I needed.'
I think she's getting me a gift...but Idk for sure.
Her complimenting me enough on my dedication and hard work put into being Co Chair for publicity is often enough to brighten my day.
But she put emphasis on material.
Which in today's world would mean an electronic device of some sort. ;) lol.
But I already have all of those.
And then it hit me.
This was the institute.
So I went back to El Daen and said: "I've thought of something else."
lol she gave me this look of "oh no not this again."
and so I said. "A small statue of Christ, or an angel."
I like things doing with angels ^^ Love their wings.
And I don't have a Statue of Christ in my room. Lots of pictures, but a statue would be cool.
She gave me a smile that was like 'lightbulb!' and said "That could work!" and she went back to her desk.
*shrugs*
I guess we'll see what comes out of that lol. :)
I said a statue because I figured that I would want something 'material' that would help to remind me of my time on the LDSSA. And since we were trying to be Christ-like throughout the year, or guardian angels...I thought that that could apply. I wanted something that I could have that would remind me of the LDSSA. Gift cards are nice...but they're spent up and forgotten.
A statue...isn't as likely to be forgotten.
Haha.
Typing this up now I should have said "A Car" lol.
But methinks that that is too expensive ;) haha.
Wwwaaaayyyy over the budget. :)
But the institute didn't fail to bring a smile to my face today. :)
First compliments with El Daen.
And then...in my box....
was a little note. On a note card.
It had my name written on the front blank side.
And then on the lined side were the words
: Most likely to.....
:) It brought back memories of...9th grade I think it was. We did a series of "most likely to:" as well back then. Mine said.. Most likely to become the next (name of author here). i remember it was a girl...and that she was like a mystery writer. :) hmm I think it was Mary Higgins Clark. That name sounds familiar.
Well apparently someone on the LDSSA, whether it be on counsel or one of the advisers or El Daen...somebody involved with the LDSSA decided to do the same thing.
We all got note cards of most likely to....
^^ lol
: Most likely to be called upon to save the world.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream
I woke up from my morning dream....really disturbed. I can't remember what happened...but I didn't like it.
I dozed off for a bit later in the morning, and I was dreaming of...numbers...number of songs, what time it was -10am, lists of things...and more numbers.
I think I was concerned with oversleeping my classes lol :)
