PLANES. really? why cant you just let me have my baggage weigh as much as i want? do you know how hard it is being a girl in college... only coming up with two suitcases full?! of course i am going to buy stuff when i get up here. duhhh. well i have one carry on. two suitcases that are just a little under 50. and then a BIG mama jama that weighs 71 pounds.. what to do? i have no clue. and that stupid thing rolled over my foot! i know it didnt mean to. and i forgive it because it is all my cute clothes and shoes that i bought up here. do you think maybe if i flirt with the baggage checker they will forget that it is 21 pounds over weight?! no. i didnt think so either. well needless to say i am all done with my freshman year in college. it is so weird because i still get that i look like i am a junior in high school.
as you know my college is a church college and so everything is very church oriented! well we have what is called Family Home Evening. basically it is game night for us all the time. we have this one game that every one sits down and there is one person in the middle who is blind folded with a pillow. they need to search around and put the pillow on someones lap and then sit on that person. they say to make noises like a dog, cat, lion etc... so when someone took off the blindfold this is what they said "i couldnt find it and i was feeling around for like 10 minutes!!"
"thats what she said!!"
i know i thought it was pretty funny and had to share!
well i am going back to cali in T Minus 3 days. i am super excited. not only to see my friends family and dogs butttttt... BECAUSE I AM SOO GHOSTLY WHITE. my freckles disappeared. i didnt even know they could do that! i knew that they faded but not totally go away. its depressing. i liked my freckles. hopefully they will come back to me.
my roommate laura gets to leave tomorrow and i am so jealous! her fambam is picking her up! mine sent me on a plane. thanks guys. youre the best.
i really cant wait to go home though. my little brother has been texting me non-stop. yes. my LITTLE brother. k, if i dont respond right away he sends like 5 more text messages! i think it is funny. but cute :) i am glad i can talk to him now!!
so a few of the things that i am going to actually miss here in rexburg:
1. Costa Vida! it is soo good! but it came this semester! sweet pork nachos! oh delishhh!
2. Working with Autumn! she is so fun to work with and i am going to miss her! she is graduating!
3. my fantabulous roommates! they were soo fun to live with!
4. not having my parents breathing down my neck about where i am going.
CALI-FOUR-NI-YAY!!!!! here i come! <3

there is barely any snow on the ground! thank goodness! i love grass even when its brown! i just need some grass in my life! it does a person good, ya know?

last semester i was doing a competition with my roommate aly where we could not eat any deserts for like a month. we both tied. so this semester i am doing it again. i forgot how miserable this was!!! oh my gosh. i am addicted to sweets! i cant live without them... it was the second day and i had a dream about eating starbursts... then a few days later i had a dream about eating chocolate! mmm it was so good! haha

i think this has also been messing with my dreams. i had a dream that i had a baby!!! i didnt do the dirty or the have to give labor. i just woke up and i had a baby! she was the cuteset baby ever!! she had bright green eyes and freckles! it was such a good dream! its only been ten days since i have been off sweets. my name is kaitlin and i am addicted to candy.

then the night after that i had a dream that i got married. i really need to leave BYU Idaho. this is what it does to me! 

i now have pink in my hair! i love it! avril lavigne was my inspiration! im not gonna lie. i still love her.

after being here for two semesters at byui i finally have to give a talk. i have not had a calling or anything. . . and i am going up with pink in my hair. haha i told my dad about it and he was like PINK? in your HAIR?? yeah..... 

so when i got the pink in my hair i got like two strips right? should only take like 15 min right? ok it took an hour and a half! i was like are you serious!?

k we all go on facebook and you all know what i am talking about. when those people take like 15 pictures of themselves and they put all of them up. why cant you just pick one? i mean i still look at all of them dont get me wrong. but STILL! its just irritating! 

lastly. . . i was in a movie last night and i wasnt talking that loud but some guy of large stature who was like two rows in front of me and my friends turns around and goes " hey can you guys shutup??"

ok how rude is that!? we were there first! and i mean if he wanted to get in a fight i could totally take him on! he was just so rude. if you are gonna say something to someone be nice about it! that jerk.

Happy valentines day to me! everyone in the world and their mother wants me to get fat apparently! i know  that i am loved. and really... i do appreciate it. but let me tell you what all of my packages consist of:
moms:
         36 cookies(which i either had to eat in three days or put in the freezer. i put them in my freezer, my sister on the other hand ate 33 of them in less than three days. bhahah)
dads:
         two bags of my favorite chips! flamin hot lays which they dont even make here! ( another reason to hate idaho)
         three almond snickers! also my favorite.
         HUGE bag of starbursts
         and ya know what there is so much more i am getting tired of typing it.

everyone knows i play waterpolo. the reason, i am super clumsy and cant run to save my life. well i played a basketball game for the first time in my life.
so here is what happened. my friend ali up here is the coach of a team and she gets charged for every game she has to cancel bc of lack of players. being the good friend that i am i helped her out and played a game!
so i was doing pretty good. THEN i even stole the ball! i was running down the court towards our basket (mind you, nobody was around me.) i fell. flat on my butt! and the reff was so cute! oh my. honestly! nobody was around me!! hahah i will stick to the water.
a movie that me and my roommate and our new friend amanda LOVE is called Angus, Thongs and the perfect snogging.
it is so funny! honestly. and the guy has an accent. who could ask for more!?

here is a question i was asking myself after i watched this. why do us single girls watch cute romantic movies that make our love lives look pathetic? SIMPLE. because we all want this to happen to us. but it never will. the boys in those movies are super cute and romantic. i have yet to actually meet a boy like that. therefore my dream of having my life become a romantic comedy is over. done. fini.
girls here at BYU-I surprise me everyday. honestly, i dont know what the eff goes through their stubborn little heads! if a guy doesnt like you it is obvious! stop talking to him. he is just being nice and trying not to hurt you. or on the other hand. creepy boys stop talking to us girls! we all talk about it. every text you send. we analyze every single word, or happy face that you send us. and it makes you even more creepy. even if the boy is not creepy at all, if we like him and he gets annoying then he becomes creepy. and if he is not what we want we dont give them the time of day... i am not trying to be harsh but that is the real deal. we will be your friends. then you take it to a whole new level.. not appreciated. so please dont. :) less pain for the both of you.
i actually feel bad for the boy species.
whatever girl tells you that we are not complicated is honestly wrong! i dont know what is going through their heads. we think that we are giving guys these HUGE hints that we like them. but in real life we arent giving them crap. personally i dont think i will ever give out huge hints or flat out tell someone how i feel unless they tell me first! rejection is not my strongest suit. boys have it hard. i have to admit. and it totally is hard to ask someone to dance. i was dared to ask a boy once. can you talk about sweaty hands! hahah oh my gosh. one of the worst things i have ever had to do!
actually i did tell a boy once that i really liked him! TOTALLY shut down. haha i laugh about it now and we are still good friends but it really makes you feel like an idiot. it was so hard though! it makes you feel like you are back in freshman/sophomore year of high school. the ugly little fat kid with braces that has no confidence what so ever!
and i am sorry but people. facebook is not to share your feelings.. hence the bloggage :) i am tired of hearing how people are having bad days! especially yesterday! what the heck! i was actually happy on valentines day and being single! it is honestly not that bad at all. i enjoyed my day! fun filled at work! i had like four valentines... i know. i am a pimp. that is all.

Sundays are the best. not. i live in chapman hall. a place with no kitchen and let me tell you it is fabulous! because we cant buy food on sundays and i have not gone to walmart for a while. so i had a bagel for lunch and i think for dinner i will have either cereal or yup, it is cereal. i basically live off of cereal now! crazy.
so february 14h is coming up and a lot of girls here at BYU-I are complaining that they dont have dates. oh my gosh. get over yourselves! watch a chick flick and eat chocolate like every other single girl in the world! i have a valentine :)
her name is laura alys smith! i am going to get her tons and tons of chocolate! man i am going to be the best valentine! i am gonna get her fattened up for her future husband/boyfriend. whichever one comes first :)
71 days until i go home and i can not wait. idaho sucks! laura and i have a great countdown going on! i cant wait until the three day weekend in february! school is just annoying! who needs it!
i know. i sound like a loser when i say this but... i like to read the hobbit. it is actually a very good book! i have never seen lord of the rings or anything like that but i might want to now!
i want a good home cooked meal. ughh screw idaho! california all the wayy <3

so yesterday laura and i were walking to taco bell because we were hungry and wanted taco bell! while we were crossing one of the few intersections there was this blue truck and mind you like 100% of the town is mormon! back to the guy! apparently this girl in front of him totally cut him off! startled by the f-bomb and other words laura and i look up and it is the blue truck man! after that we hurredly walked into taco bell! when we were done eating we walk out and guess who we saw again.... BLUE TRUCK MAN! crazy!
on our way home we walked past a donut shop and so we walked in and my roomie laura goes
laura: hey can i have the pink sprinkled one?
man: im colorblind so which one?
l: oh the one that is second from the top blablabla
M: oh ok
Me: ok can i have the one directly across from hers see where my shadow is?
Guy: the purple one?
Me: i thought you were colorblind...
Guy: only red and green.

i felt like an idiot. then i got to thinking... that guy has red hair, so what color does he think it is???
today i felt like a loser! my schedule: work 10:30-2:45, classes from 3:15-6:15, then library for four hours. really? c'mon college.. you suck!

oh and i am not the only clutzy one here at BYU-I. Laura is just as bad. . .  maybe even worse! so it was at night and she was trying to get off her bed and i swear it was the slowest fall off my life! and she got this huge bruise on her knee! haha poor roomie.

So, David thought it would be entertaining if I started a blog.

So here it is. College life is super fun! Well parts of it! I definitely love the snow… NOT! My roommate Laura and I were walking to one of the few places in Rexburg and out of nowhere some stupid black ice (which it wasn’t black, it was more like cement colored.) I tried to help her while she was falling and be the hero but I am not the most stable of people, so Laura went down first, and then myself. I have to admit it was pretty funny! That was the second time I fell! Ice-2 Kaitlin-0. My roommate and I do a lot of stupid things when we don’t want to do homework! Usually I am the one who starts the procrastinating. Shocker, I know. I am such an amazing student  :)

My classes this semester are pretty dumb! I have to admit that they are super boring and it’s really hard to pay attention in them! Especially science foundations! Holy crap. That guy is weird and mono-toned! Lame! It is already hard enough for me to pay attention! Oh and he wears sweater vests everyday! Hahahaha who knew you could have so many. H-A-W-T!

Laura Smith is my super cool roommate! We try to motivate each other. We are going to look like pussycat dolls! It is going to be great! We have a count down of until we both go back to sunny California! 75 days! :D it keeps us going!

If you didn’t know, I have a job at the crossroads! It is our schools cafeteria! And it sucks… haha. I mean it is great because I get paid! But other than that its eh.

Lauren and Brianna. I basically live over there when I am not home! I love them! They are super fun and I am way glad I met them! They also keep me sane! MAZE. We are all obsessed with the movie Grown Ups. It is honestly so funny! Almost all of my thoughts and words are lines from that movie!

I miss California soooo much! This is really sad… 25 degrees feels like heaven to me. I never thought those nasty little words would come out of my mouth! Sick.

Most of the things I put up here will be embarrassing stories that I don’t want all of the acquaintances on Facebook to know!

There was this guy I was walking next to one day and he totally almost biffed it… on a crack in the cement. And what does he say to me? Hey watch out there is a really dangerous crack right there! Haha I think it was a little more akward that he actually said something to me after he just tripped. Haha poor guy. 

My internet totally just went off so i dont remember what i wrote after this.. but yeah! my first blog! woowoo!
