Procrastination

Due to the MASSIVE procrastination problem I have...

-three presentations

-one 4-6 page paper

-one 8-10 page policy memo (in a group... thank goodness)

-two 12-15 page papers

-one 20-25 page paper

-four finals

All of which needs to be completed in the next three weeks.

Why did I think it would be a good idea to major in Political Science again???

Weirdly enough, I am most stressed out about the 4-6 page paper... because it is a philosophy paper and I am the world's WORST philosopher. 

The daunting list above makes a blogging hiatus necessary.

Goodbye till after graduation!

Wish me luck...

Date Morning

Since Brady is on Spring Break and I don't believe in taking classes before noon we started our morning off right.

With breakfast and the season finale of The Bachelor {sorry mom}.

I have the best husband.

{and a really cute niece}

The end. 

Stressed

This is about the time of year where all of procrastination catches up with me.

School is stressful.

I have four fifteen page papers due in the next couple of weeks. Gross.

The job hunt is stressful.

Well mostly thinking about starting the job hunt because that is about as far as I have gone.

On a happier note::

-I have officially started two out of four of my fifteen page papers.

-It is finally warm outside.

-AND GRADUATION IS IN FIVE WEEKS! {I don't normally condone caps, but I thought it was appropriate for that bullet}

GRADUATION! YEAHH! {and that}

KONY 2012

Since the KONY 2012 campaign has been flooding my facebook newsfeed I decided I should probably learn more about it. 

Pro KONY 2012

HERE is an article that is more critical of KONY 2012. 

After looking at both, I tend to agree with the article. I am by no means saying that Joseph Kony is not an evil man doing horrible things, but this article does make some very good points.

{disclaimer: I have not done tons of research on the topic}

I think that this movement is more about curing the symptom than fixing the cause.

I think that eliminating one man will not solve the problem, the problem is much deeper and more complex than that. 

Lastly, I think that terrible things are happening to children in Uganda. I just don't know that this is the answer.

The Big Two-Two

This year my birthday fell on a good day.

Friday.

No school, no work... just shopping, eating, and Lebron.

My lovely parents drove up from St. George to spend the day with me. 

Since Friday is not such a good day for Brady (he has school AND work.. lame), my parents and I drove up to Salty City to shop before the Jazz game. 

We went to Ikea, Forever 21, and H&M. 

{Clarification:: My mom and I shopped, and my dad waited in the car (what a gem).}

We then met up with Brady at Crown Burger to grab a bite to eat in preparation to see The King {Lebron James}.

I just love him.

{As if you couldn't tell by the millions of pictures I took}

The Parents

The best part of the game? The Jazz actually WON! 

This is us excited that the Jazz finally won.

I got spoiled this year.

I received::

-Breakfast in bed, a decorated house, my favorite candy, a cute letter, AND coupons made by my amazing husband

-Many, many clothes purchased by my parents

-Tickets to the Jazz vs. Lebron game

-A package from my sister including earrings, a headband, and pictures drawn by Natalie and Becca

-A devine cupcake from Ashlyn
-A crown pillow handsewn from my perfect nephew, Josh

-A darling purse with new wallet inside, and lots of the easter resses {aka the best candy- perfect chocolate to peanut butter ratio} from the in-laws

-Birthday cards from grandparents

-And many, many birthday wishes via calls, texts, in person, and of couse facebook!

Thank you so much to everyone who made my day so amazing!! 

I really do have the best friends and family ever {I am not biased at all}!

I have a feeling my twenty second year of life is going to be a great one.

Happy Leap Day

I love leap day. 

To commemorate I thought I would share some LKLDFs (little known leap day facts).

Fact one:: Leap day is every four years unless the number is divisible by 100. In that case there is no leap day unless the year is also perfectly divisible by 400.

Fact two:: The great rapper Ja Rule was born on leap day.

Fact three:: It is normal for women to propose to men on this great day. {for the whole story click HERE}

Fact four:: You have a 1-in-1461 chance of being born on a leap day.

Fact five:: This year leap day was also free cookie day at Subway- I chose to sample the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie and it was so good it got me thorough my Chinese Politics test {sidenote: Chinese names are VERY hard to learn how to spell}

Fact six {my most favorite fact}:: Leap day in Utah has officially been declared Jeremy Evans day due his great ability to "leap" and win the 2012 Slam Dunk Contest. {for the formal press release click HERE}

Happy Jeremy Evans/ Leap Day to everyone!

p.s. you can find all the leap day facts I posted and many more here and here

Holiday Weekend

St. George, as always, did not disappoint. 

It was sunny, warm, and just beautiful.

We filled the weekend by::

-playing our favorite game, Catan

-cleaning up the family corral {aka tumbleweed removal}

-playing lots of card games

-going to breakfast with the McArthurs at Kneaders

-watching the Thunder basketball game

-having my family birthday party {complete with homemade eggrolls and layered dessert}

-playing with my favorite children

-going to lots of the parade of homes houses

House #14 was, by far, decorated the cutest. 

Here are some pictures of my favorite rooms::

{if you couldn't already tell by the colors of my blog, apartment, wedding colors, or the pictures above, I am obsessed with the yellow-grey combo}

It was the best and I can't wait to go back!
