so i think that i'm finally making some headway on what i'm going to do with my life. this means though that i probably won't be going to AZ this weekend and of course that sucks, but i'll probably move back to zona in like 4 weeks. that's kind of scary, but i won' t really be 'living' in st. david, just staying there for a little while until i can move up to EA for the fall semester, but we'll see what works out. anyways that's a little update...much love xoxoxo

weekend!

it's not my fault i get bored. i have a feeling now that i have camille's old digital camera there will be many more random videos!!!!

i went to the city walk at universal studios this weekend with some of the girls from my seminary class and it was super fun. here's some pic plus some random ones i took of myself. i know i get camera happy but whateves...

how white is WHITE?!?!?!?

okay so here's some "i'm really white" experiences....
first of you have to understand that 85% of my school is latino, and then they bus people in from chinatown and koreatown and then there is a percentage of black, so white is definately the minority. it doesn't bother me, but it makes for some really funny experiences.
first off is the most embarrassing one. prom. well ya see, uhm, being raised in st. david sometimes it's assumed that you understand things that you don't. so in the car with my date and his mom on the way to prom they asked me what it was like living close to the border. well uhmmm...i told them some experiences, and while doing so i used a term that i didn't exactly know was bad. the day after prom, i went to rachelle and asked "uhm, rachelle...how derogatory of a term is'wet-back?'" yea you can laugh at me if you want, but i hadn't realized that that was even mean. well i knew it wasn't nice, but i didn't think it was offensive. well yea. so my prom date who actually happens to be mexican probably thought i was super rude. no wonder i don't talk to him;)

today while in history i was talking to this kid who is half chinese, half jamaican. well he asked me if i liked the movie that we were watching and i told him that i hadn't really actually watched much of it, and he JOKINGLY responded "it's because it's about a black guy huh?" well i was joking back and said "of course, because you know that i hate black people." just as i said that i looked up and a tall black kid sitting two desks in front of me that doesn't know me, turned around and raised his eye brows. i quickly explained that i was joking and my friend backed me up, thankfully.

there's more but i don't have time... it's so fun and interesting to live in a more diverse place. i'm definately learning a lot.!

mormon PROM pix

okay so here's the pictures that heather took before we left for prom. this black and white one is my favorite. and i've decided that if no one else things michael is cute, that's okay because i still think he is. anyways here's pics. maybe there'll be more later if i ever get the guts to give michael my email address. i think i'm just intimidated by him because well i don't really know. i don't like "like" him, it's just awkward. anyways....

(red eye changed to black eye LOL)

the ULTIMATE weekend...

okay so last weekend was really crazy!! but definately a blast all the way around...this may be another really long post. sorry guys i'm not a person of few words.... okay so first off friday night was mormon prom. that's right. i had the privledge of spending a solid 6 hours with the infamous michael. one problem though...none of the pictures that my grandpa took do michael total justice, so i'm gonna wait to post one, because he's supposed to email me some pictures later. i want one that he's smiling in, and that goofy goober wasn't smiling in any of the pictures that grandpa got.

uh. and for all you st. davidites...SD prom sucks! we got to go to a gorgeous museum where they fed us dinner (from a professional caterer) and then we got to look through the museum and they had fondue and a good DJ and karaoke and plus there were people walking around making amazing balloons for free (i got the little mermaid.) This is a caricature that we waited in line for like an hour for. if you think that looks like me then you can assume that that is what michael looks like, but if you don't think that looks like me, then you can assume that he looks nothing like that. anyways...

anyways...more about prom another time...

sunday the 3rd i went to the twilight convention "twi tour" with heather and zach and rachelle and scott. it was so CRA-CRA-CRAZY!!! first off, i've never ever seen any one so hot in person. check him out!

that's right! that does indeed say "To Elise <3 the good Dr"
you can tell by my dork face that i was totally twitterpated ;)

anyways...it turned out that alice wasn't their, so laurent was their instead. he was super nice and stuff but he looks kind of stoned in my pictured. that's okay though. it's still a picture with him.

i also got to take a picture with emmett, and mike newton with there but who the heck cares about mike. lol uhm well emmett's picture will come, and same with prom pics. anyways it was super fun to see heather zach rachelle scott and the girls. we don't see any of them often enough. it's was nice to have time with heather where their wasn't a million siblings running around and being able to talk to her one on one and get to know her better and understand her better.
