What would you have done?

It all started this morning when I decided to sleep in a little bit, ya know, catch up on some beauty sleep. The next thing I know, it may be a little too late so I just hurry and get ready and start driving towards school. It took a little over an hour to drive there because of all the construction so I ended up being late to class.

I rush into the class room and head for the back to find a seat and I sit down and just sit back to relax because everything should be a little bit more calm right? WRONG!!!!

I sit down and realize that everyone is looking at me and I'm like well, I know that I am looking good today, but come one this is too much people. And that's when I see a stack of papers sitting on my professor's desk. Are we getting a hand out today? OH NO! OUR PAPER IS DUE TODAY. My mind flashes to my finished paper that I worked so hard on, sitting on the floor of my bedroom!

In that instant I'm covered in a cold sweat, my face turns bright red, and I can feel tears filling up in my tear ducts. (I'm known for just crying when I don't know what else to do). I try my best to remain calm and text Chris to ask him what to do. He told me to go talk to my professor after class, so I do and I'm really nervous because if she says "to bad for you, it's too late to turn it in" I would just start bawling right there. So I tell her and she says that I can just email it to her.

After I talk to her, I still feel stressed and freaked out and still need to cry. So I call Chris and when I hear his voice I start to cry and I didn't know what to do so I hide in a little grove of pine trees on my cell phone and just cried, classy. SO what would you have done?

Baby Alert

and by "baby alert" I mean all the babies at the zoo... don't be confused. Chris and I got to go to the zoo for free because it was "MBA student day" (?). Along with free admission, we got free lunch and Chris won a raffle prize!

This is our prize... What's inside you ask?

O yeah..

ITS A BABY ELEPHANT, PEOPLE!!

Just Chill-laxin'!

Three baby tigers!

A baby snow leopard!

O hey, a baby person, there in the back..

Well this is just a cheetah, but still kinda awesome.

This is momma Giraffe

There was also baby meerkats, a baby crocodile, and there was a baby giraffe... it was all in all a great trip to the zoo. (FOR FREE EVEN).

Utah Museum of Natural History

This past Thursday Chris and I decided to go to the Utah Museum of Natural History that is just on campus before their frog exhibit was gone. (Actually I decided...) Although I wanted to go for the frog exhibit we ended up walking through the whole thing. (Chris and I had a little fight over whether the frogs were going to be alive, I said yes, and he said No, it's not a zoo, it's a museum, to which I replied, I hope it's a zoo). Here is the story in pictures!

This is how the frogs started, is with this weird squashed frog.

This is the cage that the little frogs were in.

"THERE'S A FROG ON YOUR FACE" "....whaaa?"

Off to the mineral exhibit.

He is too sexy for his glasses haha.

Mining for Gold

Chris got spooked.

Me being subtle.

Off to the fossil exhibit.

Chris mentioned to me that he didn't want to get stuck anywhere with this thing... to bad its dead chris.

A cat lovers dream come true.

Back home..

** there were more pictures but sometimes I get really bugged with trying to put pictures on blog. I'll add them later.

Clutz...

So this is a warning: this post may be a little hard to understand. For you to fully understand I need to introduce a form of check fraud to you guys. Have you ever noticed that if you write a check it takes a few days to clear after the person has deposited it? Well there are evil people out there who like to write a check from there account to another account (that are at different banks) and before that check clears you write another check from account B and deposit it into account A and then before that check clears you write a check from account A and deposit it into account B, do you get it so far? ...to bad I'm moving on. This evil form of fraud is called check kiting. IT IS VERY ILLEGAL, but sometimes is hard to catch right away.

Now the story, I can't say much because there are things that I can't say to non-employees. So there were a group of friends and they were doing this with several different banks (were thinking there were about 5 different banks) so times that by 3 they were bouncing checks off each other and withdrawing cash that "wasn't really there" it just looked like it was there. Well the checks started to bounce and then we realized what was going on and by then it was too late.

Unfortunately, these people came to me A LOT! And none of the times I helped them did I put a hold on there checks. I'm such a dumby. Anyway this last weekend I was stressing over whether I would have a job on Monday. Well Monday was too busy to even deal with that so today I got to work and my manager pulled me aside while I was getting my teller window ready for the new day. While she was talking to me I set down my little treat that I brought to work down (a 44 oz sprite that I hadn't even sipped on yet) on the counter just over a $50,000 cash machine. My manager informed me that these bad people were professionals and they weren't going to fire me, but I was going to get written up. That's fine, I can still pay bills with that. Well right when she says this, I turn around and elbow my drink and it falls. and spills. right. into. the. cash. machine! My manager was p.o.ed! I can't believe I did that! The last time someone did this it was about $8000 to fix. Well when we left tonight the machine wouldn't work.

I think subconsciously I'm trying to get fired! What a week and what a head ache!




***The day after this post I was let go. Job requested...

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!

I thought that I would post about my **BRAND NEW CALLING** I have been called to be a primary teacher in my parents ward. I now teach the 7 and 8 year old girls. Today was the first time I met them and my very first lesson. I was excited but when I got to sharing time there was a problem, my team teacher wasn't there today and I couldn't be with my class without another adult so I called my dad and made him get out of bed (he wasn't really in bed this is just my way of missionary work) to come and sit in with me. I was a little concerned that they would ask me a question that I wouldn't know the answer to but...

me: If you were making a bird house and your little brother wanted to help, what would you say to him if you wanted him to feel included?



Class: Well sometimes we make cookies on Sunday with the whole family and you know my great grandma is in the hospital, well she's really in a nursing home but this one time me and my other grandma made a bird house adn we visited my great grandma.

me: That's great! So your grandma had you help her (?) did it make you feel special?

No really though I love them all this is going to be a great calling! Wish me luck (and maybe answers to tough questions when I need them).

The time has come..

Did you know that..
In Kaysville Utah it is illegal to go into a convince store after dark without an ID
In Monreo Utah there must be daylight visible inbetween two dancer partners
In Provo Utah throwing a snowball will result in a $50 fine
In Logan Utah women are not allowed to swear

The time has come to force myself out of bed before 11 am and actually do something with my life besides looking up dumb facts. Yup as it is for many of my reads (cousins :D) school starts tomorrow. Because of one of my posts I thought that I should let you know that I am not totally a failure at life. This semester I'm taking all business classes to see what comes of that. I will be doing the business major generals and then I will have to choose a specialty as of right now I chose business admin. Cross your fingers people I might have some direction in my life! Holla

Here is to my cat loving peeps
