Studying ;) ;)

At the David O' McKay library. Studying our lives away. Starving. Thirsty for knowledge. And men. 

(Turn up your volume. We're whispering cause we're studying)

Episode 5ish of Why Are We Not On A Date.

Plateau

Plateau: 

a state of little or no change following a period of activity or progress

I was at lunch yesterday with one of my best friends and we were discussing our lives, future plans and past endeavors. And while we both tried to be positive and explain what we were both feeling, and what some of those around us who we are close to were also feeling, she hit on it. We're both stuck, waiting, on a flat part of life, on a plateau. We're between relationships, just chugging along in school, and although they made this new announcement of the change in missionary age for LDS girls, we were are both close enough to 21 that although this is a change, it wasn't like it changed that much for us. So we discussed this plateau we're on, and discussed how sooner or later, it's going to change, but we just were bored with this pause. And then we discussed what could bring about the change and new experiences we're craving, and how we'd miss this time that we had freedom and choices where our worlds revolved around us. 

So we made a promise.

We're going to enjoy this plateau. 

And make the most of this time. And enjoy being single. And enjoy looking ahead to decisions. And dreaming. And have fun. And make this plateau something we remember fondly, rather than wishing we had done more. So we'll enjoy this time of not being a child anymore, and not quite being thrown into the adult world quite yet, and having our little BYU-I bubble. 

Updatess

If you want to know what I've been up to since I last posted, just read this blog:
www.jerikah-ann.blogspot.com

It's my friend Jerikah's and we've been busy posting randomness on her blog, including but not limited to freshmen, men, dates, cooking and raquetball. With british accents.

Enjoy!

Not Quite the Same

As we were watching the Democratic National Convention and Obama was speaking, the camera panned out and showed a group of people on their phones. Eric sat for a second looking at that and asked "Can you vote by text?" 
"No... This isn't American Idol..."
"Oh..." He sat there puzzled for a while.

So... Why can't we vote by text? Seems less complicated to me.

Excerpts

Grandma was here this weekend... here are a few excerpts from our conversations. Enjoy :)

"Isn't he a hunk?! Come on. Megan, isn't he a hottie?!?!" (Speaking of a cousin...)

"You know how to learn if someone isn't being faithful in a marriage? Watch a soap opera. They teach you everything to look for in a marriage where someone isn't being faithful." 

And my favorite...

"Someone should probably go screw the tops of the bottles back on in the shower downstairs. I took them all off and I just can't screw at 10 0'clock at night. I just can't screw at 10. It's too late."
(This is where we all burst out laughing)
"Well I can't." (Looks at me and my sister) "And neither should you girls! No screwing at 10 at night!"
(And all my self control left and I was left crying on the floor, shaking from laughing so hard.)
"And get your minds out of the gutter!"

Harry Potter

Watch This!

So for those that don't know, I've got this little obsession with Harry Potter. Only a little obsession though. I only re-read the series every summer- except last summer :(. And lets just say I'm having some serious cravings. For the books and the movies. Mostly the books. But I don't have copies at school :(

Anyone want to have a Harry Potter movie marathon?!?!
