Last night as I was just getting into bed I heard three loud shots outside my window. I jumped so high I could have hit the ceiling! I definitely thought they were gun shots, but I was probably just coming up with the worst case scenario, I was terrified nonetheless. I was shaking, and I went and hid under my bed. I didn't know what to do because I was afraid someone was right outside my window so I stayed under my bed for a while. This all makes me laugh really hard now because it was nothing. Some silly kids just blew up whipped cream bottles, but it just happened to me right outside my window. No worries, all is well.
It's been a good weekend. My mom came to visit me on Friday and left today. It was so nice spending time with her. I love her so much, and I am so grateful for how well she raised me and for all the love she has always shown me.
I went to see the Justin Bieber movie. I was not planning on ever seeing it, but I will admit that it is really good!
I still need to find a place to live. If you know if anywhere that is close to campus and a nice place with a nice ward then let me know! I can use all the help I can get!
Hope all is swell with you,
Allie

Drama
Oh my goodness. So much has happened since I last blogged.
I was at conference all last week. Not much happened there. I swam, and I swam pretty well. I was happy enough :) Personal bests, and it was a whole lot of fun, but pretty stressful!
I got home and decided to unpack my bag. I opened my suitcase and I smelled nail polish. Panic mode. A nail polish had broken but luckily all my nail polishes were in a bag that did not leak so all my belongings were safe. But it was a hassle to clean all my nail polishes so they were not covered in turquoise polish.
The week didn't start out too bad but it has gotten progressively worse.
Monday I got all my work and decided that I would survive and that I didn't need to drop out of school. Tuesday I got this awful migraine that kept me awake all night, and stopped me from going to class and studying. So most of my studying was postponed to Wednesday, and Thursday (today).
Today is where the story begins:
I woke up early to get started on some homework that I needed to finish. It was going great and I had finished almost everything, but it was time to go to class. I went to class, and at the end of class I couldn't see out of my left eye. It wasn't that it was blurred, it was completely black. So I went into freak mode because I thought I was going blind. Finally that went away so I started to do some more homework. I probably hadn't even been working for 10 minutes when I got this horrible headache. I have never been in that much pain. I couldn't sit still for 2 minutes; the pain was unbearable. I was walking around, freaking out because I had homework that needed to be done but I couldn't do it. I took some medication but that definitely didn't help. I needed to make up a quiz but I wouldn't be able to take it for another 45 minutes. I didn't really know what to do with myself so I went to the locker rooms in the RB and took a hot 30 minute shower. That was the only thing making me feel better. I got out and made it to my quiz then was able to go back to my room and sleep. I woke up feeling a little better, but I still have this headache. Annoying. I am so stressed out but thank goodness this week is almost over!
Well that is my dramatic story for the day. Hope all is well with you and you don't run into problems like mine.

Saturday
I have a serious problem. I can't seem to eat a meal without getting some sort of sticky subject in my hair. In the past it has mainly been syrup or honey, but lucky me, today it was ranch and hot sauce. Nasty. I guess I just need to be a more careful eater or something, but I sure am sick of sticky hair.
Hmmm, another problem. I slept from 4:30 to 8:00 pm today. I don't know what got into me. I haven't really done anything all day. I just really like naps so I decided to take full advantage of all the time I had. Now I should probably do homework, but I don't really have that kind of motivation. It's a Saturday night and I don't have anything better to do than homework or take a nap. Cool. Actually it is cool. I don't mind just relaxing by myself.
Life is good. I think I might go wrap up in blankets and watch a movie. Sounds perfect.
Bye Now!

Self Discoveries
Today I slipped and fell while walking from my room to class. I ate it hard. I was embarrassed but continued on with my day hoping to never see the people that saw me fall again.
Another interesting story to tell. I found out we were having a fire drill in the dorms today and I really didn't want to be here for it. It was supposed to be going off between 7-8, so I left and went to study. I came back assuming the drill was over. I hadn't been in my room for more than 10 minutes and it decided to go off. Annoying, but that is what I get for trying to avoid a drill that is crucial to my safety. Not really though...
I haven't made anymore self discoveries lately, but when I do I will be sure to blog about them.
I am just tired and hungry all the time. I take the previous ^ back. Self discovery: I eat too much. Help!
Have a nice day. You are loved.

Flustered
It's amazing how the testing center can make or break your day. Fortunately, today, it made my day! It hasn't been the best day, but the more I think about it the worse I feel. No more thinking for me. Anyways, I got 100% on my Book of Mormon quiz! It was just a quiz, but getting a perfect score in the testing center is something to be happy about.
Here is my story of the day. I fell asleep in Book of Mormon (I know i'm a sinner) and when I woke up the teacher was talking about french kissing! I was confused to say the least. He was actually making reference to a talk given by Spencer W. Kimball, but I did not know this so I was so shocked that he would be talking about that. It was hilarious, just like that class is everyday (in a good way, don't worry)!
I got a test back today that is supposed to help me in a choosing a major. I will just give you a taste of what it suggests I do with my life.
Accountant: Quite sure this is what smart people, unlike me, major in. I actually love dealing with numbers and figuring things out, but let's be real...
Banker: Another hard major, dealing with numbers once again.
Others include credit manager, financial manager and financial analyst.
All of these just seem like jobs that deal with people's money that really smart, professional men would have. Oh wait, they are.
I am flustered. I don't know what to do with my life!
Hope you don't share my same problems.

Sibling love
This is just a taste of the relationship that my brother and I share:
Me: Hey mark, I haven't talked to you in so long! How is everything going?! I miss you so much!
Mark: Everything's good. What about you?
Me: Awesome. I am doing good too. How is driving coming along?
Mark: I'm doing well I think.
Me: Cool. How long do you think until you can get your license?
Mark: April 9th exactly.
After getting no enthusiasm or even insight into his life I decide it is time to end the conversation.
Me: Nice. Well I just wanted to let you know how much i miss you. I hope you are doing great! Keep being good and I will talk to you later!
Mark: ok.
I can tell he really cares. Before this I asked myself why I don't text him or call him more often, and I think I know why.
Meh, goodnight.

I always talk about naps
I am feeling so great. My life has been organized lately, and I love organization. These past few days I have been able to get all my homework done, go to bed early, wake up feeling refreshed, and have a not too difficult practice. It is not that I mind all the chaos of college life, I actually enjoy being busy most of the time, but for the next few weeks I need to keep up with school and FOCUS!
There is a BYU basketball game tomorrow against SDSU. Probably the biggest game of the season, and for that reason I will most likely not attend. It is going to be PACKED, and we have been advised that if we want to get in we need to start lining up at 4. The game starts at 8. Ridiculous. I am not spending 4 hours in a line when I could be napping, reading, doing homework, or just wasting my time on the internet. Clearly I have my priorities set straight.
Not much to report on about today. I am happy and well and I hope you are the same!
Dippin' out,
Allie Pal :)
