Okay. So I applied for a Disney Internship, which I was super excited for, and hoping I could have a Lifeguard position at Disneyworld. I beat a lot of my friends in that I was offered a telephone interview. It went well... And I got in.
So, I was RIDICULOUSLY excited at first. Screaming and everything. But then I found out the bad part. It only pays 7.67 an hour. And they charge rent. And I have to pay for the plane ticket. So ya. Then I freaked out. My boss at Roaring Springs called me a few weeks ago asking if I was still interested in a promotion, even though I didn't even apply. I would get paid at least 8 an hour. So, after much thought, I figured I have three choices, and am currently weighing the pros and cons.
First. Disneyworld. Pros: It's frickin Disneyworld. I would live in a controlled dorm, which means no drinking. GOOD. I could go in free everyday. I would get a great tan. It's an experience of a lifetime. HOT BOYS! I could bring some people in for free (under the circumstances that my family would even want to travel.) Having this on my resume would be INCREDIBLE. Med school would be easy to get into. Cons: Plane ticket. Cheapest I could find was from Seattle to Orlando for 403. Not bad. But out of MY wallet. AWFUL pay. No family or friends on my vacation (I guess I will make some, but still). I would come out with barely more money than I got there with, considering I have to pay rent, tithing, taxes, food, plane ticket, and obviously, fun stuff.
Second. Nampa. I would get home in late July, work at Roaring Springs overtime until mid September. Then I would get my old job at Hastings for the rest of the off term. Pros: I would be with my family. I could take some classes online, and get ahead. I would be making BANK. I would be able to save for whatever, either my own car, or my dream trip to France. BYUI is working on getting a study abroad in France, and I want to go SOOO bad. The bad thing about that is that it is not set in stone yet. Cons: I get pretty bored. None of my friends will be home. I won't get tan. I have no car. No experience of a lifetime. Hastings gives crappy hours, from 5 to 15 hours a week. NOT ENOUGH.. No guaranteed trip before being married.
Third. Nampa + Portland. I would go home, stay until Roaring Springs was over, then go to Portland to work. Their minimum wage is much higher, and I would stay with Maria or the Moores. Pros: I would be with Court and Brooke. Make bank and get tan in Roaring springs, and work at somewhere in Portland with much higher wages and hours, considering that I could work hours not a lot of people my age can do from September through December. I could probably do online classes in Portland too. Cons: No definite job there, which shouldn't be difficult to get. I wouldn't see my friends when they were home. Not too bad of an option.
I don't know. I don't need money. But it's a money vs. experience. ADVICE?

Confession Trois
Kill me NOW!
Too late. Totally committed Anatomy and Physiology suicide. YAY. Hopefully, the teacher will curve the grade like all of the other A&P classes are having done.
I blame it on Netflix. No, it is based on studying the bones more than the cells. OH WELL.
Currently, I'm in the middle of a war. Literally, there is a nerf gun war in my apartment. I'm probably going to die. Oh, wait, TOO LATE!
I feel like I'm in a coma-like state. I'm too mad to be upset, and too upset to freak out. This is probably due to lack of sleep, even though I took a three hour nap earlier... Yay.
So, I started working out again last night. And my thighs are on FIRE!!!!!! BYUI has an awesome gym. Why is it awesome? The workout equipment is manufactured in BOISE BABY! bahaha. It's a party!
Anyway, I'm going to go make muffins and hide them from the world. yayyy.

UGHHH!!
I'm so bad at blogging and writing in my journal, so I'm sorry. If anyone even follows me...
Oh well. A few things...
So, Elder L. Tom Perry came to campus for devotional!!! It was amazing. As a born and raised pessimist/realist, I have found it hard to randomly love people. I just don't know how people do it!!! However, the second he walked into the room, I just knew that he loved every person there. And I just loved him! In a ssow, of course :) It was great to hear and see an apostle of the Lord, especially from the tenth row!
Okay, other random stuff has happened too. My roommates and I went to Idaho Falls (aka IF) where we went shopping for fabrics and chocolates and such. It was great! I got some black fabric and some old school floral stuff. The black one was already made into a skirt, and it turned out AWESOME!!! I taught my roommate Cynthia how to make one, so that was fun too.
My roommate Jessica brought a WII, which has proven to aid in my freshman fifty. Seriously. We have Netflix on it, where on Friday I watched Bones for 8 1/2 hours... Not my greatest moment. But I really deserved it! Fridays I get tutored for three different classes, and have my lectures. So I was tired, and totally deserved a lazy day. :)
What else... Oh! I have discovered a talent of mine... I can cook! Surprise. I make food and desserts daily, which has proven bad. My roommates steal my cookies every single time, and I can't say I blame them. Bahaha. But it's really fun, and I enjoy it. ESPECIALLY my banana muffins. Pretty much to die for.
I guess I've pretty much fallen into a routine... Monday, I have Book of Mormon at 7:45. UGHHH. So hard to go to this class. It's cold outside, and too early. Then I have French at 9, which confuses the heck out of me. So at 10, I go home, and eat and study for Psychology at 11:30. I really like this class, the teacher shows funny movie/tv clips. Then I go home, eat some more, take a nap, study.... Then have fhe!!! It's awesome. My fhe bros are hilarious. We like to PAR-TAY. And by party, I mean sit in a circle and play signs. WOO! After which Jess and I go "hit the gym". We come home, find something stupid to laugh about, then pass out at 12. Tuesday. ONLY FRENCH AT 9!! Pretty much same Monday, except no fhe, and more tv. Wednesday, repeat of Monday. Thursday... repeat of Tuesday. Friday... UGHH. French tutor, Psychology tutor, 5 minute lunch, psychology lecture, anatomy and physiology tutor, then 2 hour nap. In two weeks I start a block class, which is EVERY DAY!!! grr. at 10.
But Friday and Saturday nights are dedicated to either old movies on Netflix, or dance parties. For example, last night we went to one on campus (which means clean music and dancing, awesome laserness, and cheaper ticket, unlike raves) where Jess, Daniel, and I ran into our FHE bros, and partied like it was 1999. The song "i whip my hair back and forth" proved to kill my neck. I have random bruises and soreness on my knees and wrists. Oh well. Burns off the calories that I inhale throughout the week.
I guess that's about it... no dating, or anything of that nature. My social life consists of my roommates, FHE, and Thursday's bagels and cocoa with my French class friends. Except I met a cute boy a few days ago, but no number exchange. :( Probably didn't like the fact that I'm practically a baby out here. Darn.
OH! Last thing. I totally want to cry. My dream school for a PA (physician's assistant) program is EXPENSIVE. Two years tuition is $70,951!!!!!! TUITION! Add to that living in downtown Portland (oh, the school is OHSU), the cost of food, and other life crap. Kill me now. Everywhere else is around 65k, which is too close to 70 for me to not want OHSU. ISU is the cheapest at 56k, but it's in POCA frickin TELLO. I don't know if I can live in eastern Idaho for 6 years. That's too much coldness!!!
Anyway, life is good. I'm healthy, and happy. So kalie is OUT!
