Once you pop

you will be amazed as to how healthy good tasting chips can be! I have a new favorite snack: Popchips. They are all natural and not bad for you what so ever. You should go get yourself some, my favorite are the barbeque.

 

Flickr

So as many of you know, I have been looking for a new way to put pictures on my blog without posting them individually and I also dislike the gallery postings. As you can see, I have flickr on the right side of my page (those are not my pictures) and today I set up an accout. However, I am not sure if that is what I want and I don’t think that I will ever find what I want. I have like 100 pictures that I want to put on here but I really do not have the time to post each one individually…sooooo I am taking suggestions on what I could put on my page or how I should post these pictures.

Thanks.

I am a satellite heart, lost in the dark

Today I realized how close New Moon is to coming out. I am really looking forward to seeing the movie and what they do with it. This week is pretty low key with reading and homework so I decided that I am going to read the book again before I see the movie.  I got tickets to the midnight showing so I got a free download on Itunes of this song (I really like it)

 

Dear H1N1,

I dislike you very much. I do not have you, and I have been doing a darn good job of making sure I steer clear of you. I am tired of reading about you on all of the headlines and I wish you would just go away; come on now, have a heart. Because of you, there is a huge demand for vaccines, which I am required to get, even though I do not want to. Your form in the vaccine could make me just as sick as if I get you, why would I do that to myself?

Now that you know how I feel about you will you just please disappear so that I do not have to get a vaccine and headlines can read something like, “world peace has been achieved” or “Jessica Hall wins a million dollars from a lottery ticket she found on the ground. Now she can pay half of her tuition!” That would make me very happy.

Thank you for you your time and consideration,

Sincerely,

Jessica Hall

In my religion class (religion and literature of the new testament) we have an assignment to compare an early christianity group to a modern group of the same origins. My group was assigned to Judaism so tonight we went to a synagogue in Tacoma. I was a little nervous because I didn’t really know what to expect and I knew that it would be obvious that we were not Jewish but it was amazing! It was really interesting to hear them speak in hebrew and to see their rituals. There was a speaker there who just took a trip to Berlin that was for people who were in Germany or forced to leave Germany during the holocaust, it was super interesting! Afterwords the rabbi showed us what the real Torah looked like. It is pretty much a huge scroll on really old parchment; they even had one that was donated to them after it was recovered from the holocaust. After we left we went to mcdonalds (which I have not been to in forever) and I got a kid’s meal with a my little pony toy. So all in all this was a great night.
I am so happy it is the weekend. My dad and brother are coming this weekend and their plane should be getting in very soon. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I hate to be a downer.

It has been a rough week already. Over the weekend the boyfriend had a football game and is still suffering from a concussion. I have been trying to take care of him and myself, not easy to do. I finally got some homework done today and I was feeling pretty good. Last night was my first night back from his house. It was a little scary leaving him alone but I knew that he wasn’t really alone, his roommates are amazing and I know that they would take care of him if anything happened. So I got some sleep last night (I slept through the entire night for the first time since Friday) although I had to wake up at the buttcrack of dawn for lab at 7. I was debating on whether I was going to take a nap after lab or go to James’s house to keep him company and keep taking care of him. Luckily when he called he said he would be fine so I got to take a lovely 4 hour nap. After the nap I did so much homework, which I have been putting off since I haven’t really had the time or energy. THEN, when I was feeling good I found out that my dad, who was coming to visit from Kansas this weekend, might not actually come. Did he call me? No. I read it on his facebook status. He is debating on whether he is going to cancel the trip because my little brother will have to miss a soccer tournament. I think and hope he will still come visit me, I just hope if he decides not to come, he will let me know. So I am trying to just keep my mind on positive things, like the fact that James is okay and I have a 3 day weekend this weekend.

I hope everyone is having a great week!

Excitement!

I am pretty excited because the best friend made me a super cute headband:

Everyone should check out the etsy shop that she, her mom, and her sister run…it is amazing!

Still a work in progress…

So I finally found a banner that I am pretty satisfied with but I have yet to work on an alternative picture viewer thingy. I have flikr on my page but I haven’t set it up yet (I don’t have the time!) But today I have the majority of the day off so my plan is to get completely caught up on homework and reading and hopefully soon I can get working on more important things (such as my wordpress).

In other news, things are going well. This has been a productive week for me, mostly because I haven’t worked yet this week. Sunday was a weird night and I have been meaning to get on here and tell the story:
So the boyfriend came over on Sunday night and we did some homework and then I finished catching up on Grey’s Anatomy. During this time, things were normal on campus and in the resident hall when all of a sudden the lights flickered. It was no big deal, it just scared me, almost to death. So when he left I was in my room getting ready for bed and he called me saying that all of the lights on campus and around campus, including the street/traffic lights, were out. That was confusing to me since everything where I was worked just fine. I didn’t really think anything of it until I was about to go to bed and when I turned the television on, there was no cable. So I was pretty confused. I ended up just watching Roseanne on DVD (like the old days) and ended up falling asleep. Around 12:45am, about 30 minutes after falling asleep, I woke up to the fire alarm going off. I thought this is odd and so I went outside with everyone else, very confused. Apparently all of the lights were off on campus but Harstad (my residence hall) and the university center do not lose power when the rest of the campus does. When the power came back on, it caused a power surge and the fire alarms then went off. So after standing out in the cold until about 1:00am, we got to go inside and the cable was back. It is still a mystery to me why the power was off in the first place but I guess curiosity killed the cat so I won’t think too much of it.

So that is my wierd story and I hope everyone has a great Thursday!

Under Construction

I am really working on doing some new things with my site…it is a bit boring. So please forgive the tacky paint sample header. I am trying to find a new way to post pictures on my site for easy access as well as avoiding the wordpress system. I still dislike it. I have so many pictures that I want to upload and post from the summer and from the wedding and all that jazz but I just do not have the time or the patience to do it. I will still try to post some things but my energy in wordpress is going to start going towards making it fancy and fun to look at, as well as making things easy for me so that I will end up posting more in the end. Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and I cannot wait for the final product of my site!

It is awesome…

…that is how I feel about life right now. I have been having a wonderful week and I hope that all of you are too! Things have been busy, hence the no blog writing, but I just wanted to write a note to let you know that I am alive an things are better than ever. Some things that are making me love life right now:

1. I had a project in my religion class that was due tomorrow and it got extended to Tuesday
2. Adjustments are being made to the syllabus in my anthropology class so we don’t have any reading until Wednesday of next week
3. Our nursing uniforms arrived today
4. It is almost the weekend
5. I got the results of two tests that I took last week and I got an A and a B

Things are going so well and I love school.
I also love this boy

more than anything.
