Adventures of Finals week round 7- four am adventures and a lottery ticket

I'm sorry I look exhausted. Maybe one day i'll put
a picture up where I actually look semi decent.

Last night I was visiting friends because I won't see people most likely till fall! crazy! Anyways, at 11:30pm Glen texted me and wanted to do something. So, naturally we go on an epic adventure.... to Idaho. PARTY! haha. And we did something that neither of us had ever done before......

yes, Buy lottery tickets.


not a joke. It was so great. We almost ran out of gas on the way too. That would not have been fun. But it might have been funny watching him push the car to the next gas station.

But, the sad part- Neither of us won on our dollar lottery tickets. But it still makes for a great adventure. And another random thing we did at a crazy time like golfing at 2am.

Then we went "cloud gazing" because you couldn't see the stars.

In case you can't read the dollar bill, it says,
 "Obama sucks!" Glen liked this. 

Ended by eating ice cream and watching a movie on my laptop because both his tv and my tv are packed. Well, Glen especially didn't watch the movie cuase he was out like a light after about 20 minutes. Want to know something funny about glen? He totally twitches in his sleep! like he has muscles spasms. It made me jump every time. I don't know how he doesn't wake himself up.

And then After the movie was over I had to be at a final 5 hours later.

needless to say, I didn't shower or put make up on or look decent till after i came home.



But, totally worth it.

Good times. I'm going to miss living here and doing fun random things this summer!

p.s. I have a sa-weet tan line from my pony tail around my wrist!

Adventures of finals week round 6- silent dance party, howling, and illegal hot tubing.

Have you people heard of the Howl? Like the Halloween party here at USU? well, Apparently it's tradition to Howl on wednesday of finals week at 10pm at the library.
I've always wanted to go, but never have so Allison, betsy and Jake went with me and when we get there, there was a large silent dance party going on. Everyone had their ipods and headphones in and were dancing around the library, up and down the stairs, everywhere. It was so awesome! and then as soon as it hit 10pm sharp everyone just howled for 2 minutes straight. hahahahaha. Random tradition award. It was very entertaining though.


Funny random story. after we read about how the howling at the library came about, Jake read us the story of how the giant footprints came to be around campus. I wasn't really paying attention because it was semi-boring but then I heard this sentence, "They sequestered the Forestry Queen to a motel in Pocatello, Idaho." haha. I'm pretty sure that was the funniest sentence my little ears had ever heard. Poor forestry queen!

Well, we went to the library with our swimsuits underneath cause we were going to go hot tubing at an undisclosed location, but then that hot tub was ridiculously packed. so then after we located another one and it too was packed, we decided to be sneaky and go hot tubing at a motel hot tub..... hahahahaha. it was 10:30 and it said it closed at 10. But there were 2 old guys there so we joined. And they were form L.A. and really full of themselves. They made me laugh though. And were obsessed with making money. The one told us about he was an actor for 5 years on a tv show called silver spoons. Never heard of it. And how his 8 year old daughter was in a movie a few years ago. The other guy told us all about how he had started 15 businesses in the last 10 years but didn't like them so he went back to door to door sales. What a gem. Then he told me while i'm in Europe to go to the red light district in Amsterdam. Good one. Not happening.

I'm pretty sure they freaked Allison out, but it was slightly hilarious to see jake interact with them.

So that's my story.

4.5 days till Europe. wow.

Adventures of finals week round 5- sun tanning, duck feeding, and packing

I slept in today! first day in I don't even know how long! It was magnificent. I told myself that I would get up early to get some packing done, but I didn't.

it's the afro ducky!!

look how babalicious she looks with her shorts and cowgirl boots!

But, I mailed off the CD of the wedding I did a few weekends ago. If you want to see the preview, go here. I am in love with the bountiful temple this spring. It was gorgeous!

Then i went to a park with Natalie and Allison and we had lunch and then took a nap in the sun. It was incredibly nice. And now I'm tan. ha! I wish. I'm still white.

We fed the ducks afterwards and then I came home and became productive.
my walls went from this

my bed is so so so comfy you guys.
I love pillows and poofy blankets and comforters.

to this

don't mind all my different patterned
 pillows and un-made bed.

and then I wanted to cry just a little. Because It's so so so sad to move! especially knowing I won't be living with my BFFFFFFF next year because she's getting wed. It's going to be a rough goodbye on saturday morning. :'(


p.s. It's Gemma's 1-month birthday!!!

she's showing off her muscles here and
her curly hair. what an angel!

Adventures of Finals week round 4- Betsy takes a break by singing spanish songs

Elizabeth has always had a talent for singing; opera in the shower, opera at church, made up songs, girls camp songs, song of the day, mariachi on the radio, and now, spanish love songs. YES! It was great. 

p.s. this is my 300th post! Party!

Adventures of Finals week round 3- my love note to the mailman/woman

In case you can't read this, it says, "Dear wonderful mailman/woman, if no one is home, you have my permission to leave the package on the step. I desperatley need it for my final on tuesday morning! Have a great day and have a chocolate. thanks! <3/ Brianna. 

Here's the story. I ordered prints for my final and it was supposed to get here by monday. So, I wrote this, because sometimes they leave a little sticky note saying you have to pick it up at the post office. I even left them an easter Cadbury egg. aren't I nice?? 

Well, they left the package in the lounge next to the mailbox so the mail person didn't even get to see my lovely note. 

moral of the story, if you're nice, your packages will come on time. And you still get to have your chocolate. :D

p.s. who likes my taping job?

Adventures of Finals Week round 2- Sometimes you need a little sparkle

Remember nearly 2 years ago when I went on my epic senior trip?
Well, i bought sparklers so lauren, betsy, sara and I could do them on the beach. But, I forgot about them and all last year I kept saying we should take sparkler pictures and then we never did.

Well, in the midst of starting to pack, i found them and finally got to do sparkler pictures!

So, here are a few of them.

So this is probably weird, but my legs look thin in these.
 I've always wondered what i'd look like with skinny legs!

Precious! Me, Betsy, Lauren.

"Bri" incase you were wondering.

Smile face

lauren

Brianna

hahahahaha

Adventures of Finals week round 1- Freaky {true} library stories.

So here I am, 20 years of age. trying to be all adult like and responsible and so I head to the library to study because I get distracted at my apartment. Mistake #1.

I'm reminded each time I go to the library why I usually refrain from it.
I'm lucky that most of my homework does not require me to go to this place. I feel like a lot of artists are.... different... but at least i'm used to them now. The library has a bunch of super scary individuals in it that I don't understand whatsoever. for instance, today, my adventure included-

A guy laying on the floor breathing deeply with all his limbs spread out like he was going to break out into a snow/carpet-angel at any given moment... that's normal....

This couple who were discussing a particular question in a heated debate until the girl nearly cried....

this athletic looking guy who'd make cheering noises every once in a while and added his name into the cheers. Does anyone know an Andrew Hickman? 'cause that's the name he'd cheer....

A girl that had a huge stack of papers in her hands and she literally sprinted down the aisle with a determination in her face that i wish i could muster. Probably rushing to a final or to turn in that stack of papers.

but the very best one was the following-

so there were like 5 seats next to me open and this random guy chose to sit directly next to me. Not really what I'd do, but maybe he was just extra confident and social? Well, all was going well, Girl and guy stopped fighting after a kiss {JEALOUS! it's my life long dream to kiss someone in the library.... sorry, random tidbit.}, the guy was still laying on the floor in between bookshelves and Andrew Hickman wasn't currently cheering for himself but this dude next to me started to freak me out.
He grabbed his hand really fast which made me jump. I think there needs to be a rule at the library that says something like no sudden movements and gasps because  you'll probably freak the girl out sitting directly next to you.
He proceeded to pinch his palm till it bled. I scooted over. sick.
then proceeded to suck on it. His eyes were wide open and he stared out into space. scooted over more, yet watching intently incase he was a vampire and wanted my blood too. Psycho guy next to me alert!
 BUT, then he jabbed the end of his pen into his bleeding wound and sighed. I completely opted out of studying at this point in need of a trash can to throw up in.

this is false. No one smiles at the library because
everyone is too frightened of the creepers sitting
next to them. true story. 

I left the scary library promptly to the art building where I knew I would be safe. The library is an unsafe zone for me. No fantastic test score on my {non fun} art history final is worth being in that place.

while exiting the library I saw another bizarre thing. while going down the stairs, there was a guy walking up the stairs backwards! and there were about 5 guys at the bottom of the stairs laughing and smiling up at the kid. I'm pretty sure it was some sort of dare to get a break from studying. How one studies there, I have no idea. I probably would have gotten more studying done while performing at half time in the super bowl than at the library.

To say the least, I think I'm going to continue not being friends with that place. How do you people do it???

Did I mention that I had to get a shot this morning? Maybe it made me extremely hyper-aware of what was going on around me. But these stories are not made up!

If you need me, I've nestled myself into the {"cage"} of the Photo lab. The rich smells of  chemicals, the sound of constant running water, and the cool humidity of the place is just what I needed.

Photo Lab, you are my oasis during finals week.

7 days till Europe

seriously missing

I'm seriously missing this face right now.

Ash sent me this one a few days ago. She looks
SO SO much like pictures of Ash as a baby.
Stinkin' cute.

how could anyone not love her?? She's beautiful! 

I don't know if you know this or not, but i kind of sorta love her.... just a little. ;)

I have some good news for you guys. {and girls}

I'm all the way done with going to classes this semester!!! 

All that's left till i leave for europe-

• 11 days
• art history final {most un-looked forward to event of the semester}
• Take home photo history final {which was going to be the hardest final until my professor decided he loved us and didn't want to kill us with a non-take home one}
• A photo shoot I have yet to start for half of my altered optics photo class...... yikes. I'm going to do this as soon as I'm done blogging.... I promise....
• the printing of all the images for my 2 photo classes. {luckily their all digital other wise i'd be living in the darkroom for the next 72 hours straight}
• a dumb dumb dumb public speaking quiz that I don't want to take because she's making us go to class during our final time {the LAST day of finals week} to get a stupid code to take a 12 question quiz that has to be done on our own time. Which is absolutely ridiculous seeing as how it's only open for a few hours on the LAST day of finals week. If we have to take the quiz online, why can't she let us do it whenever we have time during finals week. *end rant* I might just not take it. 
• Put my portfolios together
• study a ton for art history final. So glad to be done with both halves of the survey after tuesday!
• edit a wedding {i'm nearly done editing the reception}
• shoot a wedding
• go to Gemma Petrea's baby blessing. :D
• pack for Europe and fit all of my stuff for 2 months into a carry-on size bag.... this will be interesante....Because everyone knows how bad I am at packing light.
• write a project outline and description for what I plan on doing in Europe. 
• make my hands look and feel like a woman's again. They hurt so bad. I should have worn gloves the whole time mixing chemicals on Monday. On wednesday, 3 of my fingers started bleeding from being so dry and damaged. {I didn't notice it until i saw a big red blob on my shirt. :( and then I went to a bathroom to try and wash it out and I noticed it was on my face too. I guess i touched my hand with it and blood was on my cheek! Then I wanted to crawl into a dark corner hoping no one saw my embarrassing moment of life. my life is filled with highly awkward situations.} regardless, my hands have trials. We need to work on loving each other more.
• pack my life up and move it home to Orem.
• dreaded clean checks.
• party hearty
• party like a rock star
• party like it's 1999
• party like there's no tomorrow
• party all night long
• ride in the dryers. {because i haven't done this the whole year!!!}
• oh, and laundry. {which is similar to partying like a rock star, right?}

In other news, I'm the proud owner of this super hot swimsuit. I'm stoked beyond belief. I have always wanted a 1 strap {so it's technically 2, but the one is super skinny and can come off if i want it to} swimsuit with frills! I'm going to look stylin' on the beaches of italy and greece! :D

Also, in case you were wondering,
 this is not me modeling the swimsuit.... :P

And now..... I shall go miraculously start and finish my altered optics photo portfolio in a one hour photo shoot....hahahahahahaha.....don't tell my professor....

but first, a funny story. Ash called me yesterday while I was taking a nap {it was a miracle! I haven't taken a nap in eons.} and So I called her back when I woke up. She answered and said, "I'm making out with my husband. I'll call you back." hahahaha. It was hilarious!

Just so you know, if I'm ever making out and someone calls me, rest assured that I wouldn't answer. 

XOxo

I almost forgot!! 9 months from today is my birthday!!! 

14 days is completely 100% too SHORT!

here it 'tis. Sometimes I feel like my
hair wants to be red.... weird.

Remember that calendar I put on my window with how many days till schools over? well, that number is currently at 9. Add 5 days after that and I'll be off in Europe for 2 months.

Don't get me wrong, I am beyond thrilled for this. I am. I've been dreaming of this since I can remember. But, there are so many things I need to and want to do before I go and I won't really be able to do them all.

Anyways, I had the best weekend. It was a blast.

First seeing my little adorable niece, snuggling with her while she was sleeping,
shooting a reception and wedding,
Dark date adventure and evening,
cleaning the church with Glen,
 the gallery I had work in,
Helping make dinner with Kyle for this one event {that will be getting it's own post in due time after I'm given the go-ahead}

Here is the digital file. 

 sacrament meeting talks at church were great,
 wearing my fun yellow summer dress,
 Betsy singing opera in RS,
making cookies with Glen,
drive up the canyon and walk along the river and wading and singing to music really loud with the windows rolled down and sunroof open with glen,
dinner with Betsy Jake and Kyle and friends,
 finished editing 2 sets of bridals,
engagements,
started on an announcement,
and ended Sunday night at 2 am once again {far too late} chatting with Glen when he fell asleep. haha.

Anyways, this is dead week. which is pretty much my last week to get things done. ah! I have a huge to-do list so I don't even know why I'm blogging.

just know, this is the first semester that I'm not looking forward to it being over. It's the weirdest feeling ever. Too many things I want more time for.

and here is a close up, so you can see the
little squares and circle better.
I think it looks like the new animation movies in a way. 

Stats, Fights, Blown-Up Factory, Christmas, Surprises

First things first, STATS. this is the last time i'll do this. because everything will be zero in a few days. I just wanted to show you how much i have accomplished this week! :D

pictures to print- 20 ish.


Darkroom pictures i need to print-4
final portfolios- 2 {that i'm combining into 1 big one.}

days till i go home- 5


Second. I went to my first ever USU hockey game. here is what i noticed-

• they smell waaaay bad. 
• people cheer when the players smash each other into the glass. 
• when there aren't many fights, the fans get irritated. 
• there's a lot of swearing.
• it smelt bad. 
• we won 4-1
• nearly everyone on our team is from Canada {don't say "Canada" in front of Taylor because he'll break out in the Canadian anthem. All verses. I learned (well... i'm working on learning this) this the hard way. I pretty much have it memorized myself now. I think he loves that country or something. ;) i guess that's what serving a mission in a place for 2 years does to someone. haha}
• it smelt really really bad. 

  

third- 

today i finished shooting for my portfolio!

alright, i'm sick of numbering. so i'll just write the rest.

I went Christmas shopping a little today with Allison! first of the season. Allison and I came out of a store and the whole outside smelt SO bad! We decided that it smelt like a poo factory blew up. Honestly, i have never felt a more foul smell outside. It smelt like this for over an hour too! I really want to know what made it smelt so bad though..... or maybe i don't. who knows what it was. 

I got something really cool today. I can't say what it is, because it's a present for someone. but now i'm excited to finish this present. I love presents that are unique and individual. I'll take a picture of it when i'm done and then post it after Christmas. So, get excited!

click here to see some pictures from my 80's shoot. 

wanna know what i've done in my 3D design class this semester?

this is a camera. i don't have a picture from the other side though where you can see the lens. .
 

Good news of my day- I got to see my roommate, Melissa Q W H III !!!! i haven't seen her since she got married on 11-11-11. So it was a happy day! i love that girl!

So i think i'm going home on Thursday now instead of Friday. :D So this'll be good too. 

I have to decide by January 20, if i am going to FOR SURE go on the study abroad to Germany trip. I want to go sooo bad. But i just need to make sure i'm going to have enough money for it. It's going to be close. If anyone needs pictures taken for anything i'd love to do them! If i booked several photo shoots soon it'd make things easier. haha.

So my friend, Annie, just came by and gave Betsy and I the funniest re-enactments of how she kisses. It might have been the funniest/grossest/ nastiest thing i've ever witnessed. best quote from it- "and that is a sign for "let's have some fun!" " haha. love that girl. p.s. we both got the exact same amount of points in our Family Finance class {hmm... i wonder how that happened} we congratulated ourselves on our grade of an "A" today. You know you have a really easy class when you end up with an "A" in the class and the only thing that you ever did in class was watch movies and T.V shows. I'd recommend this class because of it. 

Here is a little Christmas we have in our apartment. i love our little tree. :D

i put little lights on our stair rail.
 It takes longer than one might think.

Dec. 28. It's going to be a great day. Once again, this is a surprise. But i have some grand plans for this day. I am so so excited. And Taylor had better get it off work. 'Cause if he doesn't, i probably really will cry. He has no idea what's going on either, but i do. :D  But really, you're going to want to come back on December 29th and read about what i did the day before. :-) 18 days. wowzas! not far away. 

well, until we meet again, good luck on your finals! :D

presentations-1 {i have it done, i just have to present tomorrow}

freak out/stress sessions- i'm only giving myself 2 more.






I'd like to dedicate this part of my blog to "my ______ is cooler than yours because______"


tonight you get two! You lucky people!


My apartment building is cooler than yours because when sitting on the toilet you get to be in the rain. 
why?
because apparently when the snow melts off the roof it comes through the vent in my bathroom in the form of cold rain. So there is a permanent puddle on top of the toilet lid. it's grand. 




my car is cooler than yours because not only does it get ice on the outside of the windshield but the inside as well! Double the scraping = double the fun!




Also, i'd like to take this time to tell you how good at match making i am. If you need a match made, ask me. Cause i'm pretty good at it lately! There's just one stipulation- you have to name your first born child {both male or female would do.... brianna could be a good male name, right? RIGHT!} after me if you end up getting married. Which probably could most definitely maybe happen!




This is all. i have to go work on a Christmas present for someone special to me. :D


p.s. do you remember my kissing list? well i have a few to add to it. But this will be for another time. 

The life of a photo student during finals

both yesterday and today I spent nearly every waking hour in either the studio, lab, location, or darkroom. {well...minus the 1.5 hours on the phone with taylor yesterday and today too.}
it was great. :D


I got a lot done. But, i think editing all my shoots and perfecting the around 40 images I have to do for my final is going to be a lot more time consuming than I even thought. I honestly think I've bitten off more than I can chew. But, i'll figure it out.
I had a little talk with myself yesterday it went like this-

self-i can't do this!
self- get a grip of yourself!
self- you're right.
self- yes, and you can do it.
self- i can do it!

and ever since I had a talk with myself, I've felt better. :D

But, go here and look at a few i've done very rough edits of. what do you think?


In other news, after my fifth shoot in 5 days, i treated myself to a Dollar Dr Pepper from McDonalds. :D it was great.


words to describe my apartment-

FREEZING.



i think this sums it up.
i guess we could add "lit up" too. because we have lots of twinkle lights up that i put up while no one else was home and i was procrastinating writing a paper and a powerpoint {which i still haven't done yet...}


there's some good news and bad news.

bad news- i hurt my back and i feel like i need to borrow someone else's for the next 2 weeks.
good news- Taylor taught me some stretches to help it {he's pro 'cause he has a bad back}
bad news-it only helped for like 3.4 minutes. max

but they were a good 3.4 minutes. :D

some highlights-

*playing the organ and Piano with Taylor and singing my favorite Christmas song ever to him playing. {the Nativity song out of the children's song book} I'm pretty sure i could listen to him play for a long time. I like it.

*peanut butter bars run to Maceys at 2 am

*going to the mall with Em and 3 of her friends to Macys in the mall for a reason i'm not saying on here. But it was a good one. :D And i'm really glad i did.

*listening to Q speak in church

*listening to Em play a piano piece in church

*sunday dinner.

I sincerely doubt that i'll be blogging all that much the next 2.5 weeks because i have a ton of photo shoots! but... then again, i blog to procrastinate doing a lot of what i need to do. so....

here are some random pictures from the weekend-

saying bye to Charlie before he goes on his mission

my doggy loves Nsthan

family games

we do really cool things at walmart...
see the lady worker on the left? she thought we were insane.... pishaw.

here is taylor and i trying the volcano fizzer thing we won more than a month ago.
it was really anti climatic..... to say the least...

From Logan to Orem, from college to home, from packing to unpacking

So usually i'm the one nagging my sister about blogging, and now she's nagging me. which btw is not fair. cause she only blogs once a month. if that. So this one's for ashleigh.

i haven't blogged in a few days cause i've been feeling very overwhelmed/depressed/bored/sad/nervous/not wanting to come to terms with not being in Logan.

BUT i promised Melissa that i would continue blogging so she wouldn't have so many Brianna Withdrawals. {miss you melissa Q. W. III}

so here goes. there are going to be tons of pictures and then captions and bullet points. and that, my friends, is going to be how it's done tonight because a- my feet hurt from working today, b-it would be too long otherwise, c cause i said so.

Thursday went as follows-

i was super super accident prone on thursday. i finished packing. and then i did 90 percent of my 30 clean check items apx. including shining the toilet paper holder. :D {that was really an item on my list, furreal!}

• cleaned Betsy and i's bathroom.
• cleaned the half bath downstairs
• washed the dishwasher {how ironic}
• cleaned the photo 2 darkroom
• made bacon {like the pig kind, not the money kind}
• sliced my right calf with an x-acto knife. it cut through my art bag and then sliced my leg. and it stung. and bled. and here is a picture. {please ignore my unshavedness}

• sliced my finger while cleaning the floor under the fridge
• spilt pear juice on my laptop case
• left my purse at the photo lab that had all my textbook buyback money in it.
• smelt like chemicals and B.O. by the end of the day. but i showered so it's fine.
• found out i got an A- in photo 2! which is the equivalent to moses parting the red sea. kid you not. BUT all the studio art teachers have this thing called "not ever going to give an A in any class ever because we hate you and think no matter how much you've improved and how good you are that you can always always always be better and do more and spend more time" so therefore i got A- in all 3 my studio art classes and A's in my other two (planet earth and photo history) :D which is kind of similar to last semester only i got a B+ in drawing instead of an A-.

here is a picture of Ash cleaning the window. half inside half outside. :D

Friday went as follows-

• watched a crazy old lady dumpster dive in the farm's parking lot!!! it was slightly awesome! she found some waaaaay intense things that some dumb college kids should not have thrown away! She gave Betsy and i some good laughs.
• played carrot baseball

a bat shaped like a carrot. :D

• went to D.I. and dropped off junks and played a bit. and i bought some work pants too.

isn't she the most beautiful bride??

• then went to Cal Ranch to find a cowboy. And Melissa and Betsy nearly died of laughter over something that josh said, that i still have no idea why it was funny. and guess what. the only cowboys we say were old. what a depression maker. :(

• then we took after crazy lady to see what we could find in the dumpster. Only the only cool things we found were a lamp, a seashell picture frame, and 3 plungers....

Monday

• went to work. got put on the WORST checkstand there ever was. i hate express. so during college i changed a lot. like A LOT! As in i am so much more okay with having a good conversation with strangers. And i like to talk even more now. And Melissa taught me the first thing i should look at when talking to a guy is there left ring finger. AND I DID THAT TODAY AT WORK! it was the most weird thing ever! i had never noticed it much before! but i do it! weird. but it came in handy because-

• we watched a movie while i filled out applications.
• only she just texted nathan the whole time so i don't even know why she wanted me there.
• found out that a newly weds place is not safe to wander around.
• came home, and am blogging.

but, this came in the mail today. Have you ever been sent a bag of non-poop?

like, if you ever have been sent a bag of poop, would you want people to label everything they send you after with "no poop"

i don't get it. But it made me laugh that the biggest word on the page is "NO POOP" haha

it's like that one time when we got a letter in the mail addressed "to the parents of Dean D****" haha as if my dad's parents live with him still. gotta love intelligent people.

if any of you people want to do something that live in orem, please call me. I'm going to be so bored this summer compared to college life. My little sister is already trying to set me up with all of her friends big brothers so we shall see how awkward this is.

but here are my attractive siblings i now live with again-
