Don't be mad...

I know, I have pretty much fallen off the face of the Earth lately. For that I am sorry. I have been spending countless hours trying to bring this whole wedding together.

Whew! I had no idea what I was getting myself into, with this whole "planning a wedding" thing! My friend Holly is starting her own Wedding Planning business and I do NOT know how she does it! I would not enjoy meeting with cranky brides (such as myself) and rushing to create perfect weddings, over and over again. Bless you, Holly.

The nice thing is that the closer and closer the wedding comes, the shorter and shorter my To-do lists become. This is a great feeling.

Another great feeling: crossing things off you list. Completing a task, no matter how small, feels ten times better when you write it down and then cross it off as finished! Ahh. Success.

But just for clarification:

I AM SO EXITED TO GET MARRIED TO ANDREW ON SATURDAY!

Today

I am going to the gynocologist for my 'premarital exam.' I hear it is painful. I'm very scared.

Wednesday, July 1, 2009

You will never belive this!

So, I did get a response back from my landlord. She emailed me saying that the house was up to standard and that BYU inspects it every August (which I highly doubt, because in the BYU handbook it said explicitly that BYU does not have time to inspect every place once a year.) Anyway, so I decided to go a head and contact BYU housing and request an inspection. And so I did.

Well when I was in Texas, I received a call from my landlord. She told me they had a 'situation' and wondered if I could help them out. She said there was a mix up from some of the girls who had already moved out. They both sold their contracts, but one of them had promised the new girl a private room, and it was a shared room. So basically, they were overbooked. She then asked if I would mind if she released me from my contract for the rest of the summer.

YES, PLEASE!

So, I moved out on Friday, the day I got in from Texas. I got a written confirmation of the release, and my deposit being sent to me as we speak!

This is obviously a wonderful blessing. It is going to save us about $600 and we are getting my $300 deposit back now rather than later!(which will be very helpful)
The only negative aspect about this situation is that I am homeless right now. Andrew and I are furiously trying to find a place to live, where I will just move in right away. This will be nice because I can get somewhat settled before the wedding and before Andrew moves in. We've looked at plenty of places and they are either totally disgusting or too expensive. Clearly we are looking for something in between: nice and affordable.

Drama, drama, drama

So, I live in this house that is incredibly nasty.

It. is. SO. Gross.

Let me give you a little background on this house:

It is a pretty old house. It is apparent that the people who tried to fix it up did a sloppy, quick fix. (the molding in the shower is almost gone, the wooden floors are completely thrashed, the shelves are falling off, the counters are no longer touching the walls (does that make sense?) and so on and so on.) The landlords live in California, so they are unable to swing by for any maintenance checkups. The only time they fix things is when there are big problems, such as mold, dead heater, etc. The house holds 6 girls - 2 shared rooms, 2 private. The shared rooms are $265 per occupant, and the private are $325 & $345 per occupant. So in all the landlords are making $1730 a month! What's worse, the contracts are year round so the rent does not change for Spring/Summer terms, which make it impossible to sell for the Summer. Around here in Provo during the Spring/Summer, private rooms in nice houses run about $150/month or so! So the tenants are stuck paying a horrible rate during the Spring/Summer for a poorly maintained house!

On top of that, the house smells HORRIBLE. All the time. I seriously and literally gag when I have to walk through or around the kitchen (which is where the horrid smell is coming from, to make matters worse). Luckily, I do not store food, prepare food, or eat food at my own house. The Nevin's have been gracious enough to let me steal their food for the past couple months, but that is a whole other story. We also are not required to do cleaning checks ever (only when we are checking out - ergo, nobody is forced to clean, so nobody ever cleans!).


And here is another thing: I am a good tenant. I am a good roommate.

Exhibit A: I always pay my rent on time. Never ever has it been late!
Exhibit B: I do the dishes sometimes. I shouldn't even have to, because I never use the dishes. But I do wash them sometimes. You know, when I'm feeling generous, or just super grossed out by the mess!
Exhibit C: I have never been the cause of any type of concern. No physical damage. No honor code violations. ~ I am never even in the house, really (except to sleep and shower).



So, I have had it. I am so fed up. I cannot and will not deal with this any longer. I wrote my landlords an email today giving them a few options:

A. Lower my rent to $100/month. I told them I would be willing to pay this through August even though I will be moving out in July.

B. Release my contract. I told them I would have no trouble finding another place that was more reasonably priced.

If neither of these option were satisfactory enough, I would resort to plan C.

C. I will go to BYU Off-Campus housing and schedule an inspection. BYU has very specific instructions for a house to be considered "BYU approved." I'm so sure this house would not pass an inspection as BYU livable! In which case, BYU would grant all of the occupants a release from their contract.

And now I impatiently await their reply.

Don't worry, I'll let you know how it all works out!

My newest obsession:

Sonic's new Mango Limeade! 


It is so delicious. I'm afraid it won't be around for very long, so I'm trying to get my fill on it while I can. Which is valid, I think. 

The only thing that would make it better was if there were real chunks of mango in the limeade!

Please

Go see UP! It was Fabulous!

I recommend seeing it in 3-D!

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Let me explain...

So I haven't posted anything in a while, and I don't really have a valid excuse for this, but here is the one I am claiming:
My computer cord died. The wires came loose a while back but I was able to jiggle them into a place where they would create a good enough connection to charge my computer. But then, my roommate's boyfriend kicked it and it came completely apart! Needless to say, it does not work at all anymore. No computer cord = No Computer.

Not having a computer has made for some great awkward moments for me. Because I was unable to watch Grey's Anatomy & Desperate Housewives season finales on my computer in the comfort of my own home, I had to resort to the Provo library and BYU computers. The awkward parts came when I burst into tears in the library/computer labs in front of many strangers. Oh, well. I tell myself it doesn't matter because I will never see those people again! 

I have been putting off buying a new cord because well, they are expensive. On Saturday, I finally broke down and bought a new cord. It should be here any day now! I'm so excited!

Mmmm

I am so craving pancakes! Every topic of conversation today has led to pancakes, and thus my overwhelming desire to eat them. Maybe I will make them tonight. Maybe even...Banana Pancakes!

Today at Work

Katie informed us all that there is no offical word for that feeling you get when you need to sneeze but you can't. Her and her friends came up with their own word that I think is perfect:



SNIZZLE

My Summer Book List

It is finally SUMMER!

As it turns out, I'm going to spend my Summer here, in Utah. I'm enrolled in only one class for the Spring term and am working part time at the ticket office. This means that I have a lot of extra time (for now). Extra time is a rarity in my life, so I'm going to fully take advantage of this opportunity and catch up on all those books/plays I want to read. There are so many books/plays that I need to catch up on so I don't have to plug my ears to avoid potential spoilers. Also, I have started so many books that I just never got around to finishing! So, I am going to start a book list. Today I started 1984 by George Orwell. I am already entranced.

Everyone please give me some summer reading suggestions!

As of today

I am officially a senior in college.

weird.

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

By the way

I dyed my hair brown.

Pictures to come.

In case you are wondering...

I still have no idea what I am going to do with my life this summer.

I am still waiting to hear back about the American Theater Wing internship in NYC! I called them today and they said that they still haven't reached a decision. I really really really hope that I get this internship because it would be an amazing opportunity for me to gain experience in administration work, live in the city, and get acquainted with famous theaters and people! What's not to love?

What is the most difficult thing about i, is just not knowing. Even if the answer is no, I want to have an answer. It freaks me out that I don't have a plan. And I can't make a plan because I don't know anything.

So, I wait.....

In the meantime I am trying to plan my summer as if I will be in Utah. Here is my plan so far:
1. Work part time at the ticket office
2. Do an internship at the Covey Center or just get really involved in some shows
3. Work part time at Victoria's Secret
4. Take a few classes (but not full time)
5. Go to concerts: possible festivals include Sasquatch, Bumbershoot, Summerfest
6. ROADTRIP!
7. Lagoon

I have decided that even though I could graduate in December, if I stay in Utah for the Summer, I won't. I want to give myself a little off time from school, and I also want to make sure I get to take all the random elective classes I want to take before I graduate. Also, I hear it is harder to get a job right after Fall Semester, as opposed to after Winter semester. And I'm not quite ready to quit being a student just yet.

Those are my thoughts as of late.

Yesterday

-Woke up at 7 AM
-Woke up sickly (congested sinuses & swollen lymph nodes)
+Got a ride to school
+Ate a fabulous breakfast
-Spilled egg yoke all over my jacket
-Took my lighting final
+Went to work
+Secured a part-time job for the spring & summer in the ticket office
-Stressed about my dramatic literature paper that was due at 5
-Wrote my paper
-Turned my paper in late
+Got a FREE water bottle!
-Left my lunch locked in refrigerator at work
+Went to Utah Flash game
-Suffered from monthly cramping & hunger
-Spilled honey all over me
-Woke up at 3 AM to let my roommate into the house


All things considered: It was a pretty good day.

Friday, April 17, 2009

Seriously?!

This is one of the reasons, Utah and I have a love/hate relationship. Snow is great (but cold) in the Winter. But in April, snow is just downright uncalled for! (And it is still cold!)

Utah Flash!


Last night Matt, Angela, Andrew and me all went to a Utah Flash game. It was quite the event. We got a basketball game + spectator entertainment...I'm afraid that if I try to explain it, the meaning will be lost...I just wonder where these Flash fans are hiding during daylight hours?!


Also, the "Flash dancers" were pretty awful. How do they think they are going to earn some 'R-E-S-P-E-C-T' by grinding and shimmying?

Rewind: Festival of Colors



I was so excited to attend this year's Sri Sri Radha Krishna temple celebration of Holi, or The Festival of Colors! I had never gone before, but had heard all about it from friends and such. I am working evening shifts this semester, and realized about a week before Holi, that I would not be able to go because of work!! BUT the day before the festival, I found out that I did NOT have to work and was overly excited about going.
Andrew and I were on our way to the festivities, but the traffic was so horrible on the freeway that we got off and try to find our way through the back roads. We eventually got there, but the colors were thrown as we were parking, so we missed most of the excitement.



































But we had fun petting the llamas, looking at the peacocks, looking at the gift shop inside the temple, and getting a little color on us from other people who still had some powder left.
It was very fun, but next year we will be on time!

Rewind: Allison & Ari Visit Utah!
















Ari & Allison flew in last month to visit all us important people in Utah. It was so much fun to see the little babies playing and giving each other hugs. Sharing was a little difficult for the two, esspecially Lincoln. Can you blame him? Imagine be the only child, and one day another kid comes and invades all of your toys. He coped with it just fine, though.















While they were here we had a birthday bash for Lincoln & Ari's 2nd Birthdays! Kathleen did most of the decorating and preparation for it. I must say it looked fabulouso! Many of Lincoln's little friends showed up to help him celebrate. So, it was a very busy, very fun party!
















Also while they were in town, we had a get-together with my family and Andrew's family. We ate food. All the babies were present. Jowling pictures were taken. The babies were very cute. All in all, it was quite the success.

Rewind: Andrew's Birthday

On March 14th, Andrew turned a big 2-4! Woot! Woot! He feels pretty old, but I just don't see it. We went to a movie to celebrate! I made him a square shaped bowl out of clay, but it did not survive the firing process....So, his one request for his birthday was that we not take any pictures. Therefore, I have none to show you. However, the next day we took Lincoln to see some animals at Wheeler farm. So here are those pictures.Cute, huh?

Cha..cha..changes

Everything in my school/work life is completely up in the air! I have NO idea how things are going to happen - which is scary. I'm going to map out my options, for my benefit, and for you because I'm just sure you care!


1. Go to New York for a super awesome summer internship (that I haven't been offered, yet). Then take Fall and Winter classes at BYU, and graduate in April, as I have planned for the past few years.

2. Go to Dallas/Nashville for an internship for the Summertime. And proceed with school as planned - graduating in April.

3. Stay in Provo for the Summer. Take classes during the Spring, Summer, & Fall semesters, then go to New York for an internship during Winter semester. Still graduating in April, as previously planned.

4. Stay in Provo for the Summer, take classes during Spring, Summer & Fall semesters and graduate in December! Then later go to New York to live, work and play!

Problems:
*All of my plans are a little scary to me in different ways.
*Plan #4 would mean I would have to suddenly 'grow up.'
*Plan #4 would also mean that I would have to find a new job, because my schedule does not fit with the work schedule at the ticket office...not that getting a new job would be a bad idea...I could find a new job with better pay...if I could find a new job.
*I hate making decisions.
*I have to make a decision.

I just realized...

I could graduate in DECEMBER!

A Tribute to the Ticket Office

So for my directing class, we had to direct an original 2 minute scene. I decided to take my daily frustration from dealing with ridiculous people, and mold it into a scene! So the scene is a compilation of the most silly things people have said/done at the ticket office window. My group is totally fabulous and practically perfect! This is just a little amateur video of the scene. Everyone loved it (to say the least...)! And we have plans to perform the scene at our work meeting next week!

Check it:

Busiest Week Ever!

This week is going to be CRAZY! I have so many project, papers, etc. to work on this week. Classes end in two weeks and then there are finals. But this semester, I don't actually have to take many finals. I just have projects and papers, etc. due BEFORE the last of class. Stressful? Yes, ma'am. Anyway, I do want to blog about Allison and Ari's visit to Utah, and about the festival of colors, and other things. However, blogging is going to have to take the back burner this week, just so I can get caught up and make those sparkling grades to bring my GPA up! 


Also, I had an interview on Monday morning with Women's Project at 10 AM. I forgot about the time difference and she called at 8AM!! I'm just so thankful I did not answer the phone in a sleepy-Julie way. Somehow, I slept through the ringing, just enough to wake up at the end and notice a missed call. I was then up and called back. I think the interview went alright. Even though I was still slightly jarred. 

I have another interview tomorrow morning with Primary Stages! We shall see...

Saturday, March 28, 2009

Good News!

I don't have to work tonight!!!
I'm going to the Festival of Colors tonight at the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork.
I could NOT be more excited!

Fun Finds

I've been doing some blog/site browsing today and I'm going to share with you some of my favorite finds.
First are these fabulous shoes made by Crafttastophy on Etsy. They are wonderfully whimisical and you can bet, if I had money, I would spend it here.


Also, I'm loving all of Bonnie Holland's conceptual photographs. Check the rest out here.



Lastly, I have been looking for some of these reusable grocery bags for the longest time. I found a Baggu Grosgrain Guest GIVEAWAY!!!! for 2 of them on this site. Wouldn't it be perfect if I got two of these Baggu bags for FREE?! I think so!

New Portrait of Shakespeare

There is a new portrait of Shakespeare that has recently been authorized as the only portrait painted during Shakespeare's lifetime. The portrait was painted in 1610, when Shakespeare was 46. A man, Stanley Wells, has spent 3 years researching and testing the painting to make sure it was authentic. It was apparently discovered by the "Cobbe family, which inherited it when an ancestor married England's Earl of Southampton -- a friend of Shakespeare who likely commissioned its painting." You can read more about it here or here.

Update

School
*I really am enjoying my classes and my homework this semester. I actually feel that I am learning. And not only learning, but gaining knowlege that I know I will use in my (almost) daily life.
*I want to read more plays

Work
*The ticket printer at work freaked out on me today and began printing only every other ticket. It was quite frusterating and took a good 15 minutes to fix!
*I gave plasma agian today and got lightheaded three different times! (I think it was because I didn't drink enough water yesterday) My first experience was much better. I'm not sure how long this "second job" is going to last....

Internship
*I'm waiting back for some letters of recomendation to send out my resume and applications. I'm starting to get really nervous about not being accepted into an intership. Also, even if I get accepted to a couple of them that are unpaid, I probably won't be able to go because housing alone costs $3000!
*There is an intership at the Manhattan Theater Club that I desperatley want! It looks absolutley fabulous.

Fun
* Shawn and Shawn are out of town for a week 1/2 so Kathleen and I are taking care of Lincoln over weekend! I'm going to spend the weekend in Salt Lake: playing ball with Lincoln, taking him to the zoo, and showing him off to Andrew's family. I'm so excited. He's getting so big, so fast.

No such thing as a boring night...

When it comes to Andrew and me, all we need to have a good time is a little lipstick and a camera. (And our imaginations, of course!)




































Wednesday, February 18, 2009

I know, I know...

As you can tell, I'm somewhat obsessed with changing my blog background...I wish I could make my own!

My first time donating plasma!

For the first time, I donated my plasma! Andrew's brother, Matthew went with me to donate. We both needed money, and I didn't want to go alone. Although, after the waiting, Matthew wasn't even able to donate because he was dehydrated! 


So, yesterday I spent a good 3 1/2 hours in a Plasma donating center. I sat and waited for about 3 hours, while they let all the more experienced people go in front of me. Over the course of time I was there I watched Tommy Boy, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Zoolander. They would call me up every so often to poke my finger, give me a physical, ask me medical questions, etc. 

Finally I was hooked up to the machine! At that point I was so annoyed that I had been there for so long, I wasn't very scared at all. I just looked away as he slid the needle right into my vein. (I pride myself on my large veins-I never have to be poked twice!) The first part of the "cycle" felt normal. I'm used to giving blood so this part was not at all different. However, the second part was a little strange. The second part of the cycle is when the red blood cells are being returned to you. It was so much blood going in my arm so fast, it made my fingers and hand numb. I, feeling a little anxious about this feeling, asked if it was normal. It was. 
So I was finished in about 40 minutes and was then given my $30! So in all, even though I spent 3 1/2 hours there, i was paid $8.50 an hour - which is more than I make at my job!

 Yippee!

Elevators with Attitude

I just want to share something with you that has been taunting me lately. Some days I am on campus from 9 AM to 8 PM. In between those hours, I am either in class, at work, or meeting with teachers or other peers about projects and homework and such. The point I'm trying to make is that I am busy and sometimes haphazardly running around all over campus.

Now to the point of this post:

What I don't like is this: When I am making my way to an elevator to take me up a few flights of stairs when I see the dreadful little sign. The sign has a picture of a little heart and says "For your heart's sake, take the stairs!" This sign never fails to make me feel guilty! I always have to justify in my mind that I need to take the elevator (either to save time or energy). It's not that I'm lazy, it just that I do get tired by the end of day from running around. I am so affected by this little sign that even when I get to an elevator without the sign, I ask myself if I really need to use the elevator instead of the stairs!

I'm just sick of elevators making me feel guilty!
