Yesterday was a big day.  I had a presentation for BYU/SA.  I spent the last year working on a research project and yesterday I had the opportunity to present my findings to the Student Advisory Council.  I was super super nervous, but overall I think it went well.  Plus, I got to wear a pencil skirt, so it was a win win :)
Right before my presentation, I also had an interview as part of the application process to get into the Clinical Lab Science program at BYU.  Part of this program includes a six month internship at the hospital working in the diagnostics lab.  As I was asking more about the internship it just kind of hit me.....I don't want to work in a lab at all.  CLS is more just a stepping stone for me to get to PA, but if that doesn't work out then I will end up working in a field that I absolutely hate.  While the director continued to explain the six month internship I knew that I couldn't do it.  The more and more I thought about it the more comfortable I felt with this decision.  Being the grown-up that I am, I called my mama to talk things over :) By the end of the conversation I had made a pretty solid decision...........I am going to finish up my pre-reqs for PA school and major in business!

I've been in a business class this semester and I love love love it! Every time that I go to class I feel like I am hanging on every word the presenter says.  It's so intriguing and interesting; it feels like a good fit.  Not only that, but it leaves tons of doors open for me--always a good feeling :) I am heading to the advisement office today to see what I need to do to make this happen so hopefully it'll all work out! I have to apply to the program so I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but from here on out it's reading the Journal, watching the stock market, and doing other business-y things :) Who knew that one interview would change my whole perspective?

An Adventure to Macy's

An Adventure to Macy's

Provo's gift to the college student

I have this terrible habit of forgetting to go grocery shopping.  It's never convenient to go and I never know what I want to cook for the next two weeks, so sometimes I just avoid it.  I never go hungry; I inevitably end up going to the store to pick up the essentials and somehow it turns into to a full-blown shopping trip, cart and everything. However, every once in a while the universe blesses me with a comical encounter...
On Tuesday Keyla and I embarked on one of these adventures.  I needed to run my rent up to my landlord so we figured we would stop at this little taco shop on the way home.  We ate our tacos (almost as good as Grandma Lopez's) and picked up

The famed bread

a few things at the Mexican supermarket and headed to Macy's.
We strolled into Macy's and headed towards the bread aisle. As it was my turn to buy bread, I began scanning the rows for the cheapest wheat bread that I could find.  I'm not a complete cheap-o so I ruled out the $1.50 loaf that looked like it would be a hockey puck in two days and selected the very convincing $2.50 loaf.  As I'm putting my bread in my cart another fellow student comments that I shouldn't skimp on bread and informs me that the Grandma Sycamore brand is the only way to go.  While I love Grandma Sycamore as much as the next student, it costs almost four dollars! I don't love her that much, haha.  We continued to banter back and forth concerning the quality of this brand and if it was really worth the $4 price tag. Laughing I informed my new friend that he didn't know my life to which his wittingly retorted, "You're right, but I know Grandma Sycamore."
Well played, sir, well played.

Adele, our inspiration 

I love my roommates!! They're so the best ever :) Last Sunday seemed like it was going to be a pretty uneventful day.  I woke up waaaay to early to make it up to Kaysville for a farewell (which was delightful) and then raced back to Provo to attend some meetings that I was a part of.  Sometimes I wish there was a day that was set aside for all the meetings necessary for one week, but that's another post :) After completing all my duties for the day, I decided that I was going to sleep, watch movies, and write letters for the rest of the day.  It was a perfect plan: uneventful and simple.  Little did I know, however, that I would end the night with abs extremely sore from laughing....

We came home from ward prayer and were waiting for our friend Garin to come over.  We had decided that we were going to eat delicious pazookies that night.  For those who don't know what a pazookie is, let me change your life right now :) A pazookie is a massive cookie that is cooked so that middle is still gooey.  Right after you pull it out of the oven you douse it with tons of ice cream and eat it!! It is the most delectable treat in the history of the world. Garin had a hold up so he was going to be late, so Keyla, Angela (yes I have a roommate named Angela :) ) and I decided to have a dance party and Keyla decided that she should film it.  I'm not sure why we let her, but it ended up making for a good story, hence this post, haha.

Angela and I began our very technical dancing to Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" (a great track, by the way...kudos to Adele).  It was a mixture of ballet and those terrible dance moves we all picked up at stake dances.  We both wind up for the climax of the chorus and..........I smacked her.  Needless to say, that was the end of the dance routine.  We collapsed in laughter and burned off the pazookie we had just inhaled :) Best. Night. Ever.

Listen closely :)
