My Teaching Experience at Snow College!

Well last week I went to my business finance class and my professor asked me what I thought about having to take over the class for Professor Johnson the next week. I told him I had no idea what he was talking about and just laughed. I told him I had had Johnson earlier that day and he didn't say anything about it. I thought he was completely pulling my leg so I didn't think much about it...but when I went to my next class with Johnson he asked me to go and talk to him for a minute. When I went up there all he had to say was "hey i'm not going to be here next week" and I knew EXACTLY what he was going to say next... "do you mind taking over just for a couple days?" ha ha ha yeah I know I about died! He handed me a big envelope with all the stuff in it for all four of the classes! Well it actually ended up not being too bad, but I never want to be a college professor...or a teacher. I thought teachers had it easy, but boy was I wrong. It's a hard job for sure! Turns out he's not going to be back until Monday! So much for just a couple days right! ha ha!

Intro to Business

This semester I'm taking Introduction to Business, instead of working out of the book we are actually going to basically start our own business. In the past they have made and sold things like retro jackets, Hoodies, blankets, beach towels, swim shorts ect. All of the products have had Snow College Logo's on them. Our class had a few things in mind and our homework was to ask people what they thought would be the most marketable using social networking. :) If you were a student here which of the following would you be most interested in? If you could give your opinion that would be awesome. thanks so much!

1. baseball caps or beanies
2. gym shorts
3. car packages consisting of key chain, window stickers, license plate cover...
4. bean bags
5. school activities: stomps, rock band/guitar hero tournament

Miraculously Passing Accounting

First of all I have to apologize, it's been forever since I posted last! Things got really crazy the last couple weeks of school with finals and all! But they're finally over and I'm so excited!:)
Well anyway I have a kind of funny story about my accounting class!... Right from the beginning of the semester I struggled with the dang subject. I absolutely hated (well still hate) the subject but of course I went to class regardless. We took a test once a week on each chapter, the first two days of the week we learned the information, the third day we reviewed, and the fourth day we took the test! Well I went to every class...did every assignment...went to study groups...studied on my own...and then nearly failed every test! I basically started to think that I had no chance of passing the class and that I would have to retake it anyway, so the day of our last test I somewhat guessed on every question just so that I could be finished! :) when I took it back to my professor I told him not to waste his time correcting it because I knew I failed the test along with the class! ha ha! He kind of chuckled and said okay I guess I'll see you at 8:30 next semester! I was major bummed because I couldn't hardly handle it once and then I was going to have to take it a second time! But the best news of this story is that I totally didn't fail!:) YAY! I passed with a C+ I was floating on a cloud the entire night! HURRAY!

TWILIGHT

about 6 more hours until show time

Oh boy oh boy it's almost here! I, along with many others, have been waiting very patiently (mostly) for Twilight to come out! Tonight, as you all should know, is opening night and I get to go with all my roommates! Oh YAY! I hope you all are as excited to see it as I am!

I got a calling!!!

I just found out that I got a calling! It's just a little one, and most everyone get's this one I guess, but I'm still very excited! I'm a visiting teacher for the very first time:) I think it will be way fun, and my roommate Bexi is my partner! I said right from the beginning that I didn't really want a calling, but really I wanted to be a visiting teacher! YAY!

Also tonight our ward is doing baptisms for the dead and it'll be the first time I've been in the Manti temple! I can't wait!:)

Soda Drinking Contest

Friday night my apartment had a soda drinking contest. The rules:

1. Drink as much soda as you can

2. Start at midnight and go until 2:30

3. If you throw up you are out

4. No switching soda, it all has to be one kind

5. Everyone puts a prize in a box and the winner takes it all:)

We built a tower of most of the drinks before we started, if we would have made it taller it would have tipped. We still had 3 more 12 packs :O

Yay I won!!! Winning must run in the family haha! I was determined to not give up! I won after drinking 9 cans of soda! Crazy I know, and quite disgusting! My room mate Kenzie was right behind me by a few sips, but she lost it all. Yuck!

This was about half way through the competition.

When we were done we lined the whole top of our cupboards with our cans with some to spare!

It was way way fun, but we decided we can only do it once a semester because...

Me and Kenzi had a little too much energy after drinkin all that caffeine...and well we started finger painting and drawing funny pictures and sticking really random things to our celing.

we drew eyes on our chins and recorded ourselves singing songs upside down!

We taped our names on our wall and colored them with highlighters!

And the best...we built a fort under our table and slept under there! for two hours at least! we didn't finally fall asleep until about 7:30 am :) Yeah we both crashed on Sunday big time!

voting

So I came home today to vote for the very first time! It was exciting, but I was really nervous. Heck I just thought I was voting for the president...turns out I was voting for a whole lot of other things too! haha Next time I'll be a little more prepared!:) Things didn't exactly work out in the end how I had hoped, but what do ya do? It's all been said and done!
