he/she/it
i remember when our fifth grade teacher used that term we would all giggle because it sounded like she said a bad word...
anyway.
i know it's bad, but i think it's kind of amusing that my roommates use the s-word when something bad happens.
they seem to know the word well enough to know when to use it, but aren't really clear on the fact that it's a swear-word.
the first time i heard it, it was yelled from the room next door after a loud crashing noise.
hah.
-mollie
p.s.-
(granted i've only heard it 3 times so far... so maybe they do know it's a swear word and use it anyway? )

what?
So here I am on my Friday off (b/c my one Friday class was canceled and I can't work anymore because I met my hour restriction for the week...) looking up information about the names on my absentee ballot so that I can vote, when I came across this:
____________________________________________________________________
Vote to pass a bill that bans the use of trans fat in restaurants.
An act concerning restoration of a swimming pool in Manchester's landmark historic district.
-Forbids restaurants to serve any dish containing margarine, vegetable shortening, or hydrogenated vegetable oil in amounts exceeding 0.5 grams per serving (Sec. 2).
_________________________________________________________
Notice the part in bold.
Ok, so I guess I don't know enough about politics or law because this does not make sense to me.

Weekend Update: Lion King and Laundromats
Hello there readers!
I haven't written in a while, and I decided that I better give a little update, especially because I have a paper that I should be writing that I'm avoiding. (How do you write a paper to talk about 5 different books and how they compare and contrast in 1,000 words, which is like 1.5 pages single-spaced?? That's a question for another entry...)
I don't have too long because ward prayer (affectionately known as "ward stare" in Erin's world) is at 9 pm. But I just thought my weekend was worth documenting.
This week, lucky me, my weekend started on Thursday night. My roommate Nichole from freshman year was down to see her cousin Katie, who was also my roommate freshman year (and sophomore year). So after I got out of class at 6:30 and done with an RS meeting at 8 pm, I met them and we went out and ate dessert at Chili's, which was really good. Thursday was a stressful day to me, so treating myself with cake was definitely a good idea.
Why was Thursday a stressful day? I took a test in my hardest class (Personality) that was all essay, and I felt like I didn't have time to adequately prepare because for the week previous to this test I have barely had time to eat and brush my teeth after doing everything I needed to do. It was soooo busy. So I was stressing about this test.
I took the test and feel pretty confident, which is a miracle. Then I had to go right to a meeting with the PsiChi Presidency. I got accepted to the Psychology National Honor Society (PsiChi) and I also applied and got a position as Service/Social Coordinator. So I had to meet with the presidency to see what I was supposed to be doing, and it turns out I'm basically the "Activities Committee Chair" in church terms. Then I had to go right to a meeting with my English class for a presentation we're doing tomorrow. Seriously. By 6:30 pm I only had time to eat a corn and bean burrito that I microwaved in the office and brought from home. So sad.
So the food was welcome.
It was great to see Nichole and Katie. They're doing well. Nichole is dating a guy who she dated in high school and who is going to BYU-I. She took Katie with her to go see him on Friday. On Friday I had class and then Erin said they were going to the pumpkin patch, so I hurried over there and we went to this place in Santaquin that has a hayride out to a pumpkin patch and a little store and stuff. It's cute. I didn't get any pictures though because my camera was dead. I managed to snap one, and as you can see, it's of me and Will and not a very great one. Anyway- the whole thing was just so fall-ee and I love fall, so you can imagine I enjoyed it. I bought a humongous bag of kettle corn that I have been nibbling at all weekend. Fall is a wonderful season. Pumpkins, apples, cider, kettle corn, and pretty fall leaves. Mmmmmmmmmm.
On Saturday, I got up at 9 and started preparing things for a party one of the professors was having for my students. I was the organizer, so I had to get everything set. The party was at 2 pm. Only half of the students who signed up actually came, which was disappointing to both the professor and me, but I will try not to take it personally. It's just that the professor and his wife MADE dinner for the students, and they still didn't come?!
Anyway. So I planned activities for that and I think everyone had fun- I don't know. I hope so anyway! Then I was finishing cleaning up and everything until 7 pm, when I met Tamanna (a coworker) at the Wilk. to go to Divine Comedy because she got me a ticket! Tamanna and I have been trying to get together for like two months to watch The Lion King because one day we were talking about how much we liked it. So, the theme for the Divine Comedy show was The Lion King, which was pretty funny. They had Simba as the BYUSA VP and Mufasa was the President. And Simba "kills" Mufasa who is trying to save him from the stampede of students during passing time. He then runs away to UVU for a little while.
Ok, so it might sound lame, but I assure you, it was funny. After that, we went back to Tamanna's apartment. She lives in Glenwood and I walked into her apartment and had the weirdest deja vu- it was really creepy. I'm so glad I don't live there anymore.
Sanita and Mindy (other coworkers) came and Sanita brought her friend Beth. We just hung around talking about a variety of things. As our conversation continued, I realized that we had somehow gotten ourselves talking about work. And I realized that I have become someone who a) hangs out with coworkers and b) talks about work all the time! That was a really really weird realization.
At midnight, Sanita and I had to go out and move our cars so we wouldn't get booted by Glenwood. So we moved to the Blackjack Pizza parking lot, but still weren't sure if it's an enforced lot. There was a 24 hour laundromat there, so we ended up going in to talk for a little while because it was warm, there was no one there, and we could keep an eye on our cars. As we were about to leave, the Blackjack Pizza employees were leaving and asked us if we wanted a ham and pineapple pizza they were about to throw away. Of course we claimed it. So we then returned to the laundromat (now at about 12:30 am) and ate pizza and laughed for ridiculously long amounts of time.
It was definitely an adventure and one of my favorite nights out with those girls :) Free pizza, free entertainment, what more could you ask for?!
While out, I got a text message from Nichole- she's officially engaged to the guy she went to BYU-I to see. They're getting married in December! Can you believe it?! Well, you probably can. But I can't. I can't believe we're growing up! But I'm excited for her! The first of my freshman year roommates is getting married! Congratulations Nichole and Scott!
(p.s.- while we were freshmen, we made a list of who would get married when, and Nichole was first on the list. And now she's getting married! We were right! Of course... I was second. Hmmm...)
I got home late and slept as much as I could before having to be at church this morning at 8:30 am. In Sacrament Meeting, we had a student speaker and a stake speaker. The student speaker talked about The Lion King for most of his talk (I don't remember how he got off on it from his original topic... but The Lion King actually has some pretty good religious stuff in it...). I guess it was a Lion King weekend for me!!!
After the Lion King speech, the stake speaker spoke about Proposition 8 for about 30 minutes and I was bored.
Now I am home after ward prayer. Usually Sundays are my go-to-Erin's days, but I couldn't today because I have an English paper due tomorrow. (The 1,000 word paper I previous mentioned.) I now have all my ideas down and just have to write the paper- except that I still have no idea how to extensively talk about 5 books in 1.5 pages. Oy. It's due by 7 pm tomorrow though, so I can handle it :)
Oh, and I logged on to facebook today and saw that Hilary (one of the girls who was in pretty much all of my London pictures) is engaged too! Congratulations Hilary and Chad!
I guess this is that time of year...
That's all from me. I'll put in some pictures. Enjoy!
until again,
mollie
