Happy Halloween! I am sad that October is over! It's been a good month.
Ah, I miss the days back at home when I was younger around these last months of the year. There are several cartoons and other shows I remember watching; Ichabod Crane and Charlie Brown Halloween being my two favorites.
I remember trick-or-treating with my siblings up through my high school years. I remember lots of lipstick and lots of candy always being involved. Memories, memories, I miss those days. Those wonderful, happy, carefree years of childhood.
I remember my mom decorating the house with pumpkins, scarecrows, and autumn leaves. Cinnamon and pumpkin candles and the beautiful Texas warm weather; just starting to cool down.
We have a huge globe willow tree in our front yard at home, and I have memories of hanging these tiny jack-o-lanterns (that were hollow at the top) with black yarn all through out the tree at the beginning of the month. I have memories of walking out the door for school some mornings after it had rained, and tipping the pumpkins over to empty out the water.
This year, Halloween landed on a Sunday. But because I am in Utah, we actually had several trick-or-treaters come on Saturday versus today.
This morning I got up early and attended my church meetings, which were excellent. I especially loved our gospel doctrine class today. We discussed Isaiah chapters 55 and 56. I loved the versus about strengthening our stakes and enlarging our boarders; it reminds me of how important missionary work really is, and how important every single person individually is to our Heavenly Father. It reminds me of the plan of salvation, and how much our Heavenly Father wants us to be happy, truly happy, and return to Him with honor. I loved chapter 63 where it talks of the true nature and characteristics of our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ.
"I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses." (Isaiah 63:7)
After church, I went home with my roommates and we cooked and ate dinner together. We all rested and went to our ward prayer tonight.
We had a great thought given by one of the ward members about gratitude. He reminded me not only of the importance of gratitude, but the importance of writing things down that I am grateful for. I need to be better at that.
After ward prayer, a few friends and I went to a friend's house and played games for a while for his birthday. It was really fun.
We played a game called "What if...Then..."
One of the cards: "What if Suzanne drank whole milk?"
Me: "HEY!!"
Then I came home with my roommates.
Well, I am excited for a new week and a new month! New things to come. I am happy, I love my life :)

Roses
Fact about me: Roses are my favorite flower.
Wow I didn't write again yesterday, but it was probably for the best because I went to bed so late and whatever I would have written wouldn't have made any since.
So lets start with Friday. I slept in a little and got myself ready for the day. I went with my roommate to one of her classes. It was a business fundamentals class, and one of the groups was giving a presentation that she thought I would find amusing. It was a good presentation on customer service and I was glad I went. Afterwards, I went to my business communications class. I turned in my assignment, had a pop quiz (thank goodness it was open book) and was out the door.
My Friday can really start once my classes are over!
I came home and did some laundry and showered. Some of my roommates invited me and one of my friends to go to an institute dance with them. So eight of us got together at a friend's house and ate dinner together and toasted marshmallows. Then we all piled back into the car and drove down to the Gateway where the dance was.
Lets just say that I've been to better dances. It was super fun to hang out with my friends and the Halloween costumes worn by the other people there were certainly entertaining and creative. I had a blast.
We stayed for a little bit and then headed to the Business College for the Halloween party over there. It was super fun as well; there was a small haunted house and dancing and mostly just socializing.
My friend and I went back to his house and watched a movie with his roommates and a few others. We watched-yet agian-another scary movie. Only, it wasn't that scary. There were a few intense parts but overall it was just an interesting movie.
Scary movies aren't really my thing.
A couple of friends drove me home and there was a party going on at my place. So we stayed up longer ha and watched the last few minutes of the movie they were watching. After everyone left, one of our friends wanted to stay the night.
She and I talked for an hour or so, becuase she had some things she needed to talk to me about.
I ended up going to bed around 4am...
(Don't tell my mother) :)
Overall, a very fun day! Way too much fun and not enough sleep for sure.
I got up this morning at 7am and walked out the door at 8:30am to clean the stake center again with my ward. This week is our last week! :)
After cleaning the stake center, I walked around and took some pictures on my way home and talked to my parents on the phone. When I came home I went right back to bed.
No questions asked.
When I got up, my roommate came home from Provo for a bit to set up her keyboard! I am really excited that she has one; she is going to start taking piano lessons. I'm so jealous.
Fact about me: I took piano for a while growing up from both my mother and a hand full of theachers. I can play a few hymns but thats about it. I can read music really well and I really enjoy good music.
I showered and got myself ready for my date this evening. I met up with my friend at his house. He cooked dinner for me and it was very delicious. Afterwards, we wrote letters to a young man in our ward who just went out on his mission. When we were done, we popped in a movie. One of my favorite movies actually, we watched 'What about Bob?' We talked for a while and then he walked me home.
It's been raining most of the day today, so it was really nice outside on our walk back to my place. I love rain. It was cool, but not too cold; and the air was fresh and chilly. We stepped over puddles in the sidewalk and talked the whole way back. I had so much fun.
When I came home, my roommates had a few friends over.
And they all wanted to know about my date. :)
I guess that's what happens when you walk through the door with roses.

Way Too Much Fun
Weather forecast for today: freezing cold, snow, and more freezing cold.
As my friend Phil would say, (Yea, like the groundhog Phil): "You want a prediction about the weather, you're asking the wrong Phil. I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life."
(Groundhogs day)
Today was such a long day, but such a good day! My alarm went off this morning bright and early and I was out the door and on the 8:35am trax. I chatted with mom on the way to school; I enjoy talking to my parents on a regular basis.
Public Speaking was my first class for the day at 9:20am. We listened to a speech given shortly after 9/11 by President George Bush; it was one of the best speeches I have ever heard. It was so well presented, written, and spoken. Afterwards we split into our groups and discussed our group service project. We-as a group-have to to pick and do a service project (we were thinking maybe the bishop's store house or something) and then write and present a speech in class.
This should be good; I love going to the bishop's store house to volunteer.
I had a break before my next class where I studied my scriptures for the day. Wow, I was caught up on my homework for the day, I didn't hardly spend any time in the library for once! :)
I went to my Doctrine and Covenant's class with my roommate. My roommate's parents are in town, so I met her mom today. It was super nice to meet her!
My roommate was also nice enough to volunteer me to play the piano today :) that was fun...
In class we discussed sections 27 and 28. We read about putting on the full armor of God; I love those last versus in section 27:
"Wherefore, lift up your hearts and rejoice, and gird up your loins, and take upon you my whole armor, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, having done all, that ye may be able to stand.
Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, which I have sent mine angels to commit unto you;
Taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked;
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of my Spirit, which I will pour out upon you, and my word which I reveal unto you, and be agreed as touching all things whatsoever ye ask of me, and be faithful until I come, and ye shall be caught up, that where I am ye shall be also. Amen."
I had another break before my next class so I worked on a few things in the library and chatted with my roommate.
Mission prep was my last class for the day. We talked about how to handle objections. I really thought it was a most interesting lesson; he talked about the difference between an investigator who has questions: lacks understanding and knowledge/information, and an investigator who has an objection: lacks belief, has pride, and needs a spiritual witness.
It's kind of difficult for me to explain, but what I thought was good to remember was you can't push anyone and you can't argue with them. I know that sounds basic, but once the Spirit isn't there any more, you can't teach effectively. You need to find those who are ready to receive the gospel; those who are ready to believe and understand, and not for those who want to find contention.
I came home, ate, changed my clothes, and was out the door again for a stake Relief Society meeting. Such a good training meeting; we discussed how visiting teaching works and how the MLS program works on the computer. I love our stake Relief Society presidency, they are truly amazing.
After my meeting was over, a friend invited me over to watch a movie.
I went home and changed again and was out the door once more. (Wow, I feel like I have been out more than at home today!)
Fact about me: I am not a fan of scary movies.
So we watched a scary movie...
Actually it wasn't that bad. There were a few intense moments, but overall the plot line was decent and interesting. Good movie.
Good company too, I just have way too much fun :)
Afterwards, we sat around a chatted and then they took me home.
I am so tired! I just have way too much to do plus I have way too much fun. :) So worth it though, I love my life! I just love being happy all the time!

I So Called It
So remember that prediction I made yesterday about waking up to snow?
Ya.
I opened my blinds this morning in the kitchen like I do every morning.
I cringed at the sight.
A soft, light, blanket of snow drifting down gently on the rapidly disappearing, green grass below.
And then I closed my blinds in disbelief.
What did I tell you? I so called it.
It's October! Why is it snowing? I'm not ready to say goodbye to my short sleeved shirts!
So I got ready for school this morning, I had cream of wheat for breakfast, (hope you're proud of me mom) and I was out the door wearing a sweater.
My roommates and I all walked out the door together, shivering the whole car ride to school.
I went to my math class first thing this morning. Nothing like snow and math all in one day. You know your going to have a good day if...
Afterwards I had a break between classes. I met up with a good friend of mine in the library and we signed up for a class together for next semester and then just chatted. I had a blast with her; we were probably a little too noisy for the library. :)
Business Communications was next; we peer edited our resumes and cover letters. I was pretty proud of myself, but I am just not a short and to the point kinda writer.
Obviously.
I like to write detailed and lengthy sentences full of fun adjectives and interesting uses of word choice. I just like to write.
However, this is not a creative writing class. You have to cut out all the fluff.
I'm working on it.
I need to be better about my sociology class. I usually end up doing all my reading for that class the day of so I end up spending my entire day in the library reading for that class, and then discussing it with my class for the next three hours. And then I'm so sick of it, that I put it of again until the next week.
Such is this homework cycle.
I met up with another friend and we read the chapters together and worked on the study questions. I went to my night class and I really enjoyed the presentations given today.
Well, I guess I was pretty entertaining in class today. I am so tired; night classes will be the death of me. I love this class, don't get me wrong, but a three hour class just kills me.
I was struggling really hard to stay awake in class today and I guess everyone around me found it pretty entertaining.
I was kinda embarrassed, not going to lie; I couldn't help it.
During our break in the middle of class, my friend from class got me starbursts again; "To help you stay awake."
Me: "Oh gosh, you sit half way across the room from me, and you saw that?"
Well my roommate was feeling sick today, so she did not go to her regular night class this evening. I usually ride home with her, but today I took trax.
Still cold outside.
I talked on the phone with my parents on my way home; good to chat with them.
I came home and worked on homework and made brownies. :)
Later my friend came over and we just talked for a long time. So fun; I really enjoy listening to him and getting to know him better. :)
Well, I still have a bit of reading left to do and then *hopefully* I should be off to bed a little earlier tonight.
Great day. I am happy. :)

Hot Chocolate Kinda Day
So it's starting to get cold now and I'm kinda sad. I bet you that I'll wake up tomorrow to some snow, and it's not going to leave until March or April.
Oh Utah.
The thing is though; I love snow actually.
It is so beautiful and peaceful. I love the perfect white blanket of icy, wet, snow that crunches beneath your footsteps.
I love wearing colorful, frilly, scarves and and pulling on large snow boots. Warm gloves and funny hats. Does this coat make me look fat?
I love the rosy cheeks and complexions of children and friends. I love seeing your breath, and purposefully breathing hard just to see it better.
I love snowflakes that land on your eyelashes and nose.
(That line kinda sounded like something from 'sound of music'...)
I love making snowmen and snow angels. Snowball fights and sledding are a must.
Fantasy: Dancing in the snow...
The tingle in your fingers when they get too wet or cold.
Walking under a tree and watching a pile of snow from above come landing right on ya.
(Been there before)
Ah snow.
Well, I like it better from my window while drinking hot chocolate.
I love Tuesdays, even though they are busy. I got up early this morning and walked out the door at 8:25am. Man is it cold out today!
I went to my public speaking class where we discussed several General Conference talks and how to incorporate quotes, jokes, and statistics into the introduction of our speeches.
Next I went to our school's weekly devotional. We had a most excellent speaker today. He talked about the importance of the Atonement. He talked about it in such a unique way; I really loved it and I don't wish to get too personal here. It was a great devotional.
I went to my Doctrine and Covenants class with my roommate; I had to present today. I taught from section 25; a revelation given to sister Emma Smith. I love this section. It talks a bit about the importance of the hymns of the church and how music is pleasing to our Heavenly Father. Something that I liked was how she was told to remember to support her husband in his calling; to comfort and use consoling words in his afflictions. "Let thy soul delight in thy husband..."
In my break, I went to the cafe with my roommate and ate lunch with her. Afterwards, I went to my mission prep class. I really enjoyed class today. Something that stood out to me were these three ideas that he presented:
1. You don't have to suffer to be forgiven.
2. You have to suffer in order to change.
3. You have to change in order to be forgiven.
I met up with some friends after my class and the three of us went to the Temple; I had a really sweet experience there. They took me home afterwards and I have been working on my homework since then...
Ah homework never seems to end.
Neither does the snow...

Pumpkin Carving
Happy Monday! I am happy! :)
I just love being happy, don't you? I know that when you do what's right, you will be happy. Pretty straight forward.
It works.
So I got up early this morning and got to school in time for my math class. I was early, so I read my scriptures and did some homework with my roommate before class. I went to my class, and I feel like we get off subject a lot... So there was a lot of chatter about cars and not a whole lot of math going on. I guess that's what happens when it's a no credit class..
I always go though and I try to endure...
After class, I had an hour and a half before my next class so I spent some time in the computer lab and in the library working on homework. I met a few new people today, and that was fun.
I went to my Business Communication's class where we talked about resumes and I tried not to fall asleep :)
I actually really like our new teacher, I feel like I learn a lot more from her. My other teacher knew what she was talking about, but wasn't that great at teaching.
Teacher: "This is a noun."
Me: "Zzzzzzz..."
So I think this will be good.
So when I was done with classes for the day, I met up with some friends and we got lunch at Subway. I get the same thing every time I go.
Fact about me: I used to work at Subway.
(Refer to my other blog: FastFoodFolly)
I've noticed a few things that they are doing wrong every time I go to Subway. For example: When I worked there, there was a formula you followed for making the sandwiches.
For a six-inch turkey sandwich: three pieces of meat, two slices of cheese, and then three of any other vegetables the customer wants (or more if they request). For a foot long turkey sandwich: six pieces of meat, four slices of cheese, and then six pieces of any other vegetables the customer wants (or more if they request).
However, I feel like every time I've gone this semester, they do it all wrong! I go in to get a foot long BLT, and I ask for lettuce and tomatoes first. They always only put four tomatoes on my sandwich instead of six!
Hello! For cheese you put four slices, but for veges, come on!
So today I asked for a few more tomatoes (because I love tomatoes and I'm supposed to get six anyways) and the girl making my sandwich was like "You just want more of everything, don't you?"
*Rude*
Me: "Oh. Well, whatever makes the customer happy, right?"
Girl: "I guess."
She was probably not having a good day.
So after we ate, my friend offered to take my roommate and I home. That was really nice; I'm not a fan of the trax.
I came home and worked on some homework...
For FHE tonight we met up at the Stake center to carve pumpkins. We worked in teams to carve the pumpkins which were to be judged by our bishopric.
Our group's pumpkin won the "festive" award ha.
So tonight, I invited my friend over to work on homework. But my roommate invited other friends to watch a movie...
So we all watched this movie together.
It was a suspenseful movie (it's October, I guess you have to watch at least one scary movie, right?) I thought it was..... interesting.
I had a blast with my friends though, I'm glad they all came over. Didn't get any work done, but hey, I had fun :)
We sat around and talked for a while, and then everyone left to go home.
My roommates and I did some homework and dishes together.
And now I'm going to bed.
Ciao.
I just love being happy, don't you? I know that when you do what's right, you will be happy. Pretty straight forward.
It works.
So I got up early this morning and got to school in time for my math class. I was early, so I read my scriptures and did some homework with my roommate before class. I went to my class, and I feel like we get off subject a lot... So there was a lot of chatter about cars and not a whole lot of math going on. I guess that's what happens when it's a no credit class..
I always go though and I try to endure...
After class, I had an hour and a half before my next class so I spent some time in the computer lab and in the library working on homework. I met a few new people today, and that was fun.
I went to my Business Communication's class where we talked about resumes and I tried not to fall asleep :)
I actually really like our new teacher, I feel like I learn a lot more from her. My other teacher knew what she was talking about, but wasn't that great at teaching.
Teacher: "This is a noun."
Me: "Zzzzzzz..."
So I think this will be good.
So when I was done with classes for the day, I met up with some friends and we got lunch at Subway. I get the same thing every time I go.
Fact about me: I used to work at Subway.
(Refer to my other blog: FastFoodFolly)
I've noticed a few things that they are doing wrong every time I go to Subway. For example: When I worked there, there was a formula you followed for making the sandwiches.
For a six-inch turkey sandwich: three pieces of meat, two slices of cheese, and then three of any other vegetables the customer wants (or more if they request). For a foot long turkey sandwich: six pieces of meat, four slices of cheese, and then six pieces of any other vegetables the customer wants (or more if they request).
However, I feel like every time I've gone this semester, they do it all wrong! I go in to get a foot long BLT, and I ask for lettuce and tomatoes first. They always only put four tomatoes on my sandwich instead of six!
Hello! For cheese you put four slices, but for veges, come on!
So today I asked for a few more tomatoes (because I love tomatoes and I'm supposed to get six anyways) and the girl making my sandwich was like "You just want more of everything, don't you?"

Stake Conference
Okay I didn't write yesterday again, so this is going to be another two-in-one post. I had a fantastic weekend, as always.
Saturday I had Stake Conference at 9am.
Fact about me: My biggest pet peeve in the whole world is being late.
So I set my alarm Friday night for 6am so that I would be up in time to walk out the door at 7:45am with my RS presidency. We were supposed to get their early to set up a few tables and center pieces.
I guess I must have been so tired that when my alarm went off that morning that I turned it off and then I turned it back on; thinking that it would go off at the right time, because it wasn't time to get up yet.
I NEVER do that. Ever.
Ever.
I never hit the snooze button, ever.
I am always a very disciplined person when it comes to getting up in the morning.
So you would imagine my surprise when my phone rang at 7:40am and I was not out of bed yet.
I was so mad at myself.
Well, I got myself ready as quickly as I could and walked out the door (more like ran out the door) and I was there about twenty minutes late.
Well, you do the best you can and that is the best you can do.
Stake Conference was amazing, we had some really excellent speakers. Afterwards, we had a pancake breakfast with our stake. It was really fun.
After Stake Conference, I ran home, changed my clothes, and was out the door again in ten minutes. I took the trax over to the Stake center to help my ward clean it. I love cleaning.
I came home and relaxed a bit. I have been so busy lately, and especially that morning I had been a little overwhelmed because I was late. I wrote a few letters; writing relaxes me. And I talked to my parents on the phone.
Later that evening, a good friend of mine and I met up with my sister and her husband on Temple Square. We went to an orchestra concert in the tabernacle.
It was amazing! I miss the orchestra, I have a special place in my heart for the string instruments. They were beautiful.
Funny story: The first piece they played was actually very humorous to both my sister and I because it was a piece played in a cartoon that we used to watch growing up. We couldn't help but remember the hilarious words to that song in the cartoon as they played. We tried our hardest not to be noisy, but it certainly made my day. My friend probably thought that I was nuts. :)
After the concert, my friend and I met up with some others from our ward. We went back to their place and had hot chocolate and talked. I had a blast.
Today, I actually got up to my alarm :)
One of my friends from the stake came and picked me up for Stake Conference. We sat with some of my friends from the ward. It was a broadcast for 71 different stakes! Again, there were some really excellent speakers.
I came home and my roommates and I put on a movie.
Definitely fell asleep.
I got up and went with my presidency over to a girls apartment in our ward who is getting surgery done tomorrow. We visited with her for a while, we love her.
When I came home, one of my friends came over and we made dinner with my roommates. After we ate, we watched a movie and hung out. It was fun.
So I had another really great weekend. This upcoming week is going to be busy, busy. I'm excited for life!
