I remember posting about all of the different road construction that was going on downtown on 5th street. The hill was closed for a few months and has finally been reopened! This is great because now that the hill is open, there were now be an easier way for me to get from my dorm to campus once again. So I must admit that it feels good that it is so close to becoming the end of the semester. I wish everyone good luck on finals! :) yay tests!

Well, here I am. Sitting in the sub because I am far to tired to travel all the way to the dorm just to write a blog. This semseter is finally almost over and that makes me extremley happy because that just means that Christmas break is right around the corner. And that is good news. I have turned in my final 12 page paper for my English class and can gladly say that I got an A. I am teaching my mini lesson for this class then I am done. I am going to turn in a paper for my other reading class and then read one more book for that class and then im done :) Science is just more lectures then a concept map, then I'm done. As far as math is concerned, I have a C in that class... I have one more test, then the final and hopefully I can pass. :) keeping my fingers crossed that I can make it with all passing grades. I just want this semseter to end as it has been pretty busy and not so good. I also hope that everyone has a great Break!

Sometimes I wish I had the ability to kill math. I mean seriously, whoever decided that math is important just needs to get their priorities straight. I would much rather work with English all the time then do math... who needs to put numbers with letters.... its useless. And now I am done rambling about math, and should probably get back to my math homework. Yes, that is what I will do...  My boyfriend just pointed out that I hate word problems, this is true. That is because putting sentences with math is pretty much... LAME.

Well it has been a while since I posted anything. I feel like time is not on my side lately. I never have time for anything. Which makes getting my homework done almost impossible. This semester just needs to end. NOW.
Thanksgiving break was great but not nearly long enough. I had to work until the day before Thanksgiving so I was stuck in Lewiston till Wednesday morning. In that time that I had to stay in town, a fire occurred downtown. Since there is a lot of construction going on, a worker struck a gas line and caused an explosion. And since I live right on Main street, the dorm got evacuated in case of a gas leak.
 I left for Boise that Wednesday on a very long bus ride. Then when I got into Boise I stayed with my mom. Thursday was a very relaxing day and I enjoyed spending the whole day with my family. Happy late Thanksgiving everyone! :) Friday I spent 5 hours with my best friend, Terry, disc golfing. Good times. I love disc golf. Saturday, I went out to breakfast with my dad and then spent time doing homework until Saturday night when my mom, my step dad, my sister, her husband, Terry, and I all went to see Breaking Dawn part 2. It was great. I really enjoyed it. After the movie, we went to dinner. A very late dinner at 10 PM. Then went home by midnight and packed to get on the bus back here to Lewiston Sunday morning. At 7:20 AM the bus departed. It was a completely packed bus and was very uncomfortable. But here I am. Back in town and doing homework again non stop.... ugh welcome to college.

I cannot express how excited I am that it is almost thanksgiving break. I feel as though time has flown by this semester. I mean, I have been so busy that time is vanishing before my eyes. I am all registered for next semester but I am worried that my math grade will not be up to par. I have worked really hard yet everything that is on the study guides is not on the test... hmmmm. I hope that changes soon. Have a great Thanksgiving break! :)

Well everyone is writing poems, I am staring at my computer screen thinking of what to write and listening to music. I am not a poet. But earlier today I had an urge to do something that used to be a favorite thing of mine to do. So I did it. I played my viola. I have been playing since I was in 5th grade. So I have been playing for 11 years. I hadn't played it in a long time so I first I needed to tune it. I love feeling the strength of the strings beneath my fingers. I love hearing the music that I can make with it. Not very many people can appreciate classical music. I can.

So I went up to Moscow this weekend, and it was soo much fun. Stayed with my boyfriend and played disc golf a lot. Then of course we had to make a cake and a fabulous dinner. Tonight I am going to share with you how to make a "Better than sex cake" and some delicious risotto.

BETTER THAN SEX CAKE
 
Ingredients: German chocolate cake mix, (Then the ingredients for that cake) 1 can on sweetened condensed milk, 1 can of Mrs. Richardson's butterscotch caramel. Tub of whip cream. 2 skor bars.

1.) Bake the German chocolate cake.
2.) Once the cake is cooked, and still warm poke holes in the cake and spread sweetened milk over the top.
3.) Then spread the caramel evenly.
4.) Spread cool whip evenly over the top.
5.) Crush skor bars, and then spread on top.

There ya have it :) Some yummy cake.

DELICIOUS RISOTTO.

Ingredients:  corn kernels, asparagus, chopped onion, chicken broth, white rice, olive oil. (Measurements vary. 1 cup of rice is plenty for 3 people, for 1 cup of rice, 2 cans of chicken broth.)

1.)Heat up the pan with the olive oil. (Use at least 3 tablespoons of olive oil)
2.) Saute the chopped onions.
3.) Mix the white rice in with the onions and the oil.
4.) Add 1/3 cup chicken broth at a time, the trick here is to keep stirring. Once that 1/3 cup is aborted by the rice, add another and so on until the rice has absorbed all the chicken broth that it can.
5.) add the corn and the chopped asparagus, when the rice is about halfway cooked.

Enjoy :)

As a college student that has no money, I must wish that things were cheaper. Things are way to expensive. I was hoping to afford medicine for the flu that I have and I cant even afford that! I guess that is what I get for working with little kids. Its worth it but sometimes it sucks because I get sick with everything! grrrr. I did not even have the energy to go to class today. Thank goodness I don't have work today or else I just might die. I hope this flu is only 24 hrs because I hate it already.

You ever have those days where you just want to scream? Today is that day. Today at work the kids were so loud and not listening at all. I was not happy with them and they knew it. They apologized so it made up for it. Then as I was walking home from work I saw a lady holding her son. he looked to be no more than 1 year old. She was smoking a cigarette and blowing it right in his face. He was coughing and she kept asking why he was coughing. Really? I don't care if you smoke. Do what you want, but don't be so stupid about it. Don't be so inconsiderate. I just am not happy with inconsiderate smokers. I love kids and I don't want to watch as someone gives their child second hand smoke. HUGE PET PEEVE.

Well hello, it has been a while since I have posted anything! It has been a very busy week. I had a math test and I had a few papers due. I am finally somewhat caught up on homework! YAY! A lot has happened. I have been working and going to classes and doing homework non stop! I have not had any time to do stuff in the community. But coming up in October i will start with helping setting up a haunted house! Really excited.

AHHH! What a great weekend! I went on a rafting trip with LCSC and I had so much fun. We left Friday morning. We got to our campsite, a beach over by Riggins, and then set up camp and got things ready for our rafting excursion. :) Saturday we had breakfast, packed lunch, and drove 22 miles upstream to our launching area. :) We paddled 22 miles that day back to camp. Only a seven hour trip, no big deal. The real fun came Sunday. We packed camp up, ate breakfast, packed lunch and floated away from our beach. Then  came the big rapids. Class threes and fours. We hit the rapid time zone like pros. Then we kept doing great until one of the last rapids hit. We came up on it sideways and the raft tipped. Out of seven people, only two of us stayed in. I was one that managed to keep the raft from flipping completely.SO much fun! :) And now I am back in Lewiston and gonna do some homework. But first, lets talk about some of those underground tunnels I have mentioned. So not very many people know that Lewiston has some underground tunnels. Nowadays not a lot of people have had the opportunity to go in them. But I am one of the lucky ones who has gotten to experience the creepiness that lies within them. Most of the tunnels are haunted. You may be thinking, this girl is crazy. There are no such things as ghosts. Believe what you want but being in those tunnels gave me the weirdest feeling. At all times it feels like you are being watched. Call me crazy but its true. Lewiston, since it used to be a gold mining town, has some crazy stories. A lot of murder happened in those tunnels.

Hey guys. Tonight I'm not really sure what to blog about. Im really excited that it is a four day weekend because I am going to Silverwood amusement park tomorrow. So when my friends asked me about what i am blogging about I said Lewiston. So I think that it is about time that I actually started talking about Lewiston. Lewiston actually has a lot of really cool historical facts about it. How do I know this? So last year, 2011, I did a lot with Garry Bush and he does historical ghost tours. I helped him do a lot of research on the different buildings that are supposedly haunted. I also help him with the tours themselves by acting out the ghosts. Lewiston itself is really interesting because of the underground tunnels. More of this later. Goodnight :)

Until i get that answer, enjoy this picture of fish... :)  

So the first week of classes has been very difficult with a lot of homework. Campus has been super busy and everyone has been running around trying to get used to being back at school. So today I took a step back and saw everyone being crazy. In life we can only handle so much. We can only handle so much physical activity as our body allows. We can only think as intelligently as our brain can handle. As for emotionally, some hearts can handle more than others. So then why do we all try to take on more then we know we can handle. It always been about pushing yourself. This just raises our stress level. So why do we do it? If i can get an answer to that i'll be satisfied.

This is me and my mom and sister. They mean a lot to me :) I'm
the one in the middle. This was 2 years ago when they first dropped
me off at school. 

So I have never wanted to start a blog. Why bother keeping an online journal for everyone to see when you can just keep one in a journal on your bookshelf? Well, this is for a writing class of mine and hey, could be good to try something new right? I think so. So anyway, I am originally from Boise, Idaho. I love it there, but I made the choice to move to Lewiston, Idaho because of LCSC. I love it up here. The classes are small and the campus is gorgeous. :) Lewiston itself... Well everyones first impression  of it is that it stinks.... REALLY BAD. But hey, don't ever judge a book by its cover.
