My insight on the classroom.

So school started up. 

I had no mommy to take my annual first-day-of-school-picture. 

That's a bit sad.

What may or may not be more sad was that I didn't care half as much about what I looked like for the first day like I did for the first 12 school years of my life. 

*INTERRUPTION FROM ORIGINAL THOUGHT TRAIN*

Boy that is sitting next to me, if you are indeed staring at everything I am writing like I think you are, could you please stop? You can read it when I'm done at The-walkover.blogspot.com. Thanks bud. 

   

Ok, we're back to the original thought now. 

The thing that hasn't changed about the first day of school is the anticipation of wanting to know who will be in your classes. It used to be, will my friends be in my class? Will my crush be in my class? 

These days I know approximately 8 people who attend Weber State and I knew they didn't have any classes with me. The anticipation is directed more toward the potentials.

Is my newest comrade sitting among these new faces? 

Will I end up dating, possibly even *gasp* kissing one of these guys?

And don't deny it, we all know that if there is even one potential romantic interest sitting in that room, the class just got that much more exciting.  

Yes, even if it's math class. 

Now, this could be a good or  bad thing depending on your actions. 

Luckily for me it's a good thing. I'm more likely to attend every class, pay attention and participate, if only to bring the eyes of the Potential on me for just a minute.

I would love to say that I am a girl who goes to school purely for the education and wasn't interested in boys right now. 

But that's just not true, is it? 

 

21.

My last post was an update and I failed to mention that I have turned the coveted age of 21. 

I guess it doesn't matter much when you don't drink or gamble. 

My birthday was pretty awesome. In the morning (6am to be precise) I woke up to go to Zions with Fran and Ember. The plan was to hike the subway, but there was only one permit left. 

We improvised and ended up hiking around a couple different trails and having a generally great time.

Later that night I had a BBQ with family and friends and ate delicious ice cream cake and brownies.

Now I'm ready to use this new I.D of mine and go hit up the bingo tables in Mesquite. I hear that's where It's at.

Welp.

It's been a while. 

That could mean a few things.

Either I've been busy having way too much fun, or been so bored I don't have a thing worth documenting, or I don't have internet where I currently reside.

It's all three, peeps.

Also, out of my three cameras I own not one of them is in fully working order and I hate not having pictures to go along with these posts. So until I can be more entertaining (I don't want to read these posts when I'm eighty and be bored, ya know) I will just give a quick update.

-I made the big move to Ogden, Utah. How long have you been trying to convince me to move up here, Jess? Well Ogden is ghetto. I fully intend to have a great time while living here, but I can assure you all it will only be for the semester.

-I ride my bike everywhere. It's fun and I'm going to be sad when the snow forces me onto the bus system.

- I went to Seven Peaks waterpark and was very impressed with myself for going down the two steepest and scariest slides. You're welcome for the picture of that hottie pants.

-I buy my own groceries now! I love grocery shopping more than the average joe.

-I just finished reading Little Women and now I want to talk like they do all the time. Wouldn't it be just grand? To address one another as dearest, dearie, and dear at all hours of the day? Ah, I wish it were so.

See?? It would be awesome.

-School starts next Monday and I will have a degree when the semester is through! Yay for associates.

-I've been having a fabulous time living with one of my best friends Fran and living so close to my other best friends, Ember and Jess! We've been hiking, to the fair, to free concerts in Salt Lake, to the lake, and many more adventures to come. Yay for having girlfriends.

Well, that'll do. 

It's my blog and I can vent if I want to. Vent if I want to.

 I work in the food industry. And it's by far the biggest frustration of my laid back life. So once in a while, a vent session is needed. Here goes.

Dear person who pitches a fit and throws their ugly purse down on the table when your two sandwiches aren't done in under 5 minutes, you look like the idiot, not us.
P.S maybe, just maybe, if you didn't so obviously love food as much as you do you would have more patience.

Dear people who look at me like I'm stupid when I ask you what veggies you want on your sandwich and say things like "I don't know, you choose", or "Just put whatever", or "What's good on it?", I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF VEGGIES YOU LIKE OR WANT. Please take initiative and decide what you want to put in your own darn mouth.

Dear people who take 8 minutes to order a sandwich, please hurry. The decision of swiss vs provolone doesn't need a pro/con list.

Dear people who want a completely custom order of things that aren't even on the menu in a fast-food time span, Mcdonalds is down the street. Custom=more time.

Dear people who want special treatment for certain reasons, I know you're stuck in high school mode still, and I'm sure you were a "cool kid",  but you're seriously not as special or cool as you think you are. Get over yourself, please and thank you.

Well, I think I'm done. That feels better. Now if I could just print this and post it on our doors. Hmm...

Trotter Family Quotes part two.

Situation: Sadi does something bratty which is not unusual and walks into her room. 
Bri says from the kitchen, "Sadi is seriously such a brat".
Sadi's unexpected reply from her bedroom, (I thought she was out of hearing range) "I have ears and I have feelings!"


---------------------------------------------------------------------
Situation: Kaden talking to Mom about his sleepover.
Mom, "What time did you get to sleep?"
Kaden, "About 2:00AM. Well it was actually like 1:55..."
Mom, "Yeah, that's about 2:00..."

I think he realized that going to bed at two possibly didn't sound good so he wanted to put it in the one o'clock hour. Smart man.

Trotter family quotes.

Chance says, "Bri, you'll always wear the pants. You like pants."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Situation: family sitting around watching Terry Fator (ventriloquist dude). He was dressed as Michael Jackson and dancing which, of course, meant grabbing...himself.

Sadi, "Mom, why is he grabbing and lifting himself?"
Mom, "Ask your dad."
Dad, "He's making sure his wee-wee is still there."
Sadi, "Ok, never mind!"  (turns away disgusted/embarrassed)

Never a dull moment  :)

Birthdays are fun.

Especially America's! 

It started with some patriotic pancakes. 

 (Somebody didn't like fireworks. 

"They're so loud!" 

"So cover yours ears instead of your eyes; then you can see them! They're pretty!" 

"No.")

And ended with what else but fireworks at the park surrounded by family and friends. 

Hello happy day.
