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!

Confession Number 2
Okay, I am not very good at this. Oh well.
But on the brightside, I'm officially a college student!
I just started my first semester at BYUI, and I'm staying at Danbury Manor. It's a cute, old house that hass been converted into apartments. I love it!
I'm working towards being an orthopedic physician's assistant, so I'm doing Premed, with a minor in French. So it's awesome! I have five roommates named Gillian, Leah, Jessica, Cynthia and Shelan. We pretty much watch t.v. A LOT. It's great. With a little studying, of course. Actually, it is more than a lot. I spend at least three hours a day on my online class, and at least an hour a day on my other classes. I also go to three tutoring sessions a week, which has really helped with my bad French accent. :)
When it comes to having fun, i'm a little unconventional: I sew!!!
It's great. I'm learning, and getting better. Here are a few pictures of my "creations" as of late.
This is a drawstring bag I made last night, from some fabric I got from Ikea. It turned out well, if I do say so myself!
This is my sewing machine cover, I got the quilted fabric on sale. I love the iron on applique!!
Obviously, this wasn't sewn. I also crochet potscrubbers! I planned on selling these up here, but I guess I'm not very good at advertising. They work so well, and the can be washed in the washing machine!!!! I love making them, and I have a gagillion colors.
I've also made skirts, and they are pretty dang cute if I do say so myself. I have four, one that I made when I got here. Here is a picture of the fabric, I will try to remember to post a picture of the final project. SOOO cute!
Anyway. School is great, and I'm finally becoming creative!!! It's awesome. Well, if anyone actually reads this, I sell anything that I've shown, and more. I have also made Kitchenaid and toaster covers, which turned out okay too.
Au revoir!

Black Friday. WOOT WOOT.
Okay. Long time, no blog. ANYWAy..... Today is indeed, Black Friday. this year, it was intensely hyped up with the awesomest commercials from Target and Walmart, including the psycho blondie who took too much speed, and the lady who named her son Black Friday. Awesome. So, yesterday, I had to work from 1-6. Total bummer. But before I left, Laura and I figured out our "Gameplan."
8:30- Leave for Walmart, where at approximately 10:00, large black tops would be removed to show the awesomeness of deals. For us, this included my Christmas present from Laura (a $50 Brother sewing machine!!!! For those of you who don't understand, these are usually VERy expensive.), as well as a 30 piece Tupperware set for $6!!!! People were going CRAZY!!! It looked like the pictures of "People of Walmart", only ten times worse.
The second we Checked out of Walmart (10:36)- Get our butts to Target, where the line eventually went around the ENTIRE store. We waited in the cold for almost 2 hours, only to be standing behind a lady that went beserk because the group in front of her let TEN people cut. (Oh no she din't!) And then, this older lady randomly stood in front of us. She didn't join anyone else, just slid in front of us. Don't worry, we cut her off. :) Then, we split up. I got a 5 piece luggage set (It's frickin HUGE!!!) for $40, and 5 $2 towels. Success!!!
AND THEN, we drove past Famous Footwear, which was closed :( then, we went this morning at elevenish, and got the same pair of boots for $36 each! (originally $90) Fo shizzle. I must CONFESS, Laura and I are awesome.
Sincerely,
The Black Friday Dominator

Confession Number 1
Okay. So those of you who know me well understand that I thoroughly enjoy my specific T.V. shows. Namely:
*Psych
*Say Yes to the Dress
*Dear Genevieve
So this morning, I made a realization about Dear Genevieve. For those of you who don't understand her goodness, Genevieve is an awesome interior designer (random TRUE fact: she has voiced several Spongebob episodes. AWESOME!!) that lives in New York, who renovates rooms into spectacular places that make me ridiculously jealous.
Now for the confession part: I don't watch it because of the transformation of the rooms, the pretty colors, or because I think Genevieve is awesome (even though these are true...). I realized my favorite part of the show would be watching the families. 80% of the time, the wife is some snobby trophy wife that just wants to be on tv, another 15% of the time is dedicated to some families who just can't agree on CRAP, but the last 5%, they are something. In movies, you see these romantic love stories where Mr. Darcy exists as this amazing creature, but in reality, divorce rates are higher than ever. Families fall apart because of economic troubles, stress, etc. The 5% of the show that makes it REALLY worth watching are real, human being that actually exist beyond the movie set. It's hard to explain, but you can just see that the couple loves each other, that it's real. I'm not a crazy-romantic, but it makes me melt a little to watch these people, that just love each other. It gives me hope that I'm not just destined for failure, but that happiness exists outside of the movies. YAYY!!!
Well, that's my confession for the day, Peace out!
And check it out. Real people rock.

And so it begins...
Oh My Gosh! I'm Blogging!
I'm super excited. I will probably enjoy blogging more than other people will be by reading mine... Oh well.
Life is super dull as of right now... I am just working, and I don't even do that very much. Hastings has been limiting our hours to 15-25 hours a week. Laaaaaame. So I just hang out with family and a handful of friends (not often). I blame my boredom on 3 things: 1) I don't start school for another 62 days. 2) Allyson is away at school and 3) Courtney and Brooke live 8 hours away. ughhhhhh. So all I do is prepare for school. I just look for stuff on sale for living, and find ways to entertain myself. This month, I am looking forward to two things... 1) Sister pictures!!! My sisters and I are getting family pictures done as family christmas presents, and a last sisterly act before I go away to school. So I pretty much have been planning every detail. 2) My trip to visit Allyson!!! I am sooooo excited. I miss her A LOT. We don't really have a game plan for when I go down there, other than stopping by IKEA on the way home. :)
Well, that's pretty much life right now...
So Ciao!
This is today's contribution to the college bin, an awesome grocery list pad I found at Anthropologie.
I'm super excited. I will probably enjoy blogging more than other people will be by reading mine... Oh well.
