Last Friday Night

Unlike Katy Perry's song, Last Friday Night, I did not dance on tabletops, max out my credit cards, or do any of the other crazy things in her song (thank goodness), but I did have a really awesome Friday night!

A big group of friends (like 20 people) and I went to the Utah vs. BYU 2012 Gymnastics Meet at the Huntsman Center , which was amazing! 
There was a crowd of 15,310 people in attendance, which was a super good turnout, exceeding the arena's 15,000-seat capacity. Of course our Ute gymnasts rocked BYU's gymnastics team, 197.550-194.450. After all, our team is ranked 3rd in the nation, so I wouldn't expect anything less.
I also learned that most gymnasts are only like 5' 3". They're sooo tiny, yet super muscly. They must have to do some pretty youchy waxing all the time though . . . definitely not fun! They had some really cool floor and beam routines though. All of which were to songs from the soundtracks of: Take the Lead, Twilight, Step Up, Sherlock Holmes, Puss 'n Boots, and a bunch more songs that I didn't recognize.

Okay, enough bragging and on to my favorite U of U shirt!
My arm was not long enough to capture my entire shirt, so here's a picture of it. I just love how sparkly and blinged out it is! Thus, why it's my favorite U of U shirt!
So, after the gymnastics meet, my friends and I went over to the Institute building for the "after party," that the Institute usually holds after games. These after parties are awesome! This time, they served french toast and soft serve ice-cream cones! How could you have a better combination than those two? Then, they had tons of games and dancing going on, so fun!  & that concludes my "Last Friday Night."

Pokemon . . . & My Weekend

RANDOM/FUNNY MOMENT OF THE DAY:
While in math class and referring to the equation below, my math teacher said, "math is kind of like Pokemon . . . you've got to catch them all." Then he smiled really big and nodded his head a few times (he does this a lot, and it makes him look like a bobble-head, which always cracks me up). Then he said, "this one is really good, it will help you win a lot of battles."
Yeah, my math teacher is extremely quirky and peculiar. He says weird stuff like that every day we have math class. So weird!

Moving on . . . my weekend was quite enjoyable. On Friday night, as I mentioned in my previous post, we went to dinner at The Gateway and to see Brian Regan at Abravanel Hall.
We ate dinner at Z'Tejas.  It was our first time ever eating there and it was actually really good! My sister and I both got GRILLED MISO SALMON: Salmon topped with a sweet & spicy miso glaze, served with a port wine reduction, mashed potato cake and seasonal vegetables. It was sooo amazing! (This is a picture of it from off of their website.)
After dinner, we took the tracks from The Gateway to Abravanel Hall to see Brian Regan! He was sooo funny! My face hurt from laughing so much! One of the best parts was that my dad got us tickets in the front row! (My red arrow is pointing to this fact. I also added a lightning bolt to make it look cooler.)
On Saturday, I went to my favorite Zumba class at the South Jordan Rec. Center and then relaxed at home with my siblings. My sister and I made ramnuni for lunch (mac 'n cheese mixed with ramen noodles, minus  the broth) and then we randomly decided to watch Young Frankenstein. This movie is pretty funny. If you haven't already seen it, then you should watch it . . . at least once . . . at some point in your life. The guy who plays Dr. Frankenstein is the same actor who plays Willy Wonka.
Then Kelly came over and we watched him while his parents went to a movie. I love this kid! He's sooo cute!
His parents wanted to set me up on a date, which I was cool with until I found out that the guy was 29 years old! So, that's like 10 years difference, which is kind of pushing it for me, so I said no thank you. Apparently, they thought I was in my 20's. Anyway, now my hair dresser wants to set me up with this guy that she does hair for too. She's been mentioning him every once in a while to me over the past 2 years, as I've gone in to get my hair done. He just barely got back from his mission last month. She's cutting his hair this week and is going to talk to him then. We shall see if this amounts to anything . . . Also, she said that he's like 6' 5"! Really tall!
Well, I hope you all had a lovely weekend too! If not, hopefully this coming weekend will be better. I love you all! :)

Brian Regan

I'm so excited because tomorrow I get to go eat dinner at The Gateway with my family and then we're going to go see comedian Brian Regan at Abravanel Hall! The best part is that my siblings don't know this; they think that we're just going to dinner and a show.  So, it'll be fun to see their surprised faces when they find out that the "show" that we're seeing is really Brian Regan!

 Haha! This is a very crazy picture of him!

My Good News!

I have to share my good news of the day with you guys.
So, by the close of fall semester, I ended up with 3 A's and 1 A-. 
However, today I went to pick up my final paper from my writing teacher from last semester and she said that whoever had added up the scores for our class must have made a mistake because she knew that I should have received an A . So, she's having my grade changed to an A, which means that I got all A's last semester! Yeah! I'm so happy! :)

One Year Older

Why hello there my lovelies!
Ahhh, yes, one year older = two seperate meanings.

1. It is a new year! 2012! Which means that after today, we only have 352 more days to live before the end of the word.

2. I am now 19 years old, but will never live to see age 20 if the Mayans are right. So, lets hope that they're wrong. BTW- Just so you guys know, the movie 2012  is really stupid.

I hope you guys had a wonderful New Years Eve and day!
My New Years Eve was spent getting free bundtlets with Kylee (not butt lifts), followed by lunch at Costa Vedas and then a mini trip to the District, where I bought the most awesome peacock ring ever! I love it!
Then, my family and I spent the rest of the day playing tons of super fun games at my neighbor's house and stuffing our faces with very delicious food until the moment when we watched the ball drop on TV while using our entire lung capacity to blow on our party blowers.

I hope you all have a fantastic year!
