So I just spent the last hour/two hours longboarding down on campus and I freak'n LOVE IT! I did a stadium since it was my first run and well I rocked it! I didn't fall once and I can totally carve it up! I started with as big of curves as I wanted and then narrowed it down so that I only had the width of a parking stall which also made me go tons faster. I dropped into the tunnel too and I was scared at first cuz it's really steep on the one side and you can't see the other side so you just have to go and hope no one is there on the other side. The first time I thought I was going to die but I didn't :D the board I was on shakes pretty bad when you get going and it makes it harder to keep your balance but I still did ok. The second time through the tunnel I got down the one side and was going up the other when three guys came flying down the sidewalk and it scared me so bad! I thought I was going to hit one of them and die or cause us both a lot of pain but all is well and I have successfully survived my first stadium run. . . . . Now for a HYPR run (pronounced hyper; it's the nickname students gave the main sidewalk that runs from the dorms down campus it's also called the hypr highway because it's one of the biggest sidewalks on campus. A truck or utility van can easily drive the hypr with plenty of room on either side. )

My Youtube Videos!
So as you all know I have a few videos on youtube and I'm proud to announce that one of my videos has reached 1,000 views! It' s been up for almost two months and it's already reached that number I'm super excited to see where it goes from there. Also exciting about my other videos is that my two newest videos have been getting about one hundred views a week! Compared to some of my videos this is a really good rate and I'm hoping to get a few more out within the next two weeks or so.
The next songs on my list are:
1-2-3-4 by Fiest
Reasons Why by Alison Kraus
It's Time by Anna Free
and
possibly some other songs by Taylor Swift
Micah's not excited about the song by Fiest but oh well I don't care. I like the song and am going to do it no matter what he says. Either way it'll be a while before a song is posted because my voice isn't quite what it used to be but it's getting there :D. I can't wait for my voice to be back to normal! I can sing now and it's reasonable but I can only sing a song or two before my voice starts to get really raspy and sounds bad lol!
Oh oh oh! So in the works to be recorded are a few songs..... one is called Volcano by Damien Rice and Drew wants to record it with us both on vocals him on guitar and me on violin.... I'm not sure how the violin will go but I can try and see if I can pull it off. The original song is guitar and cello but Drew says it can be done with violin so we'll see. The other songs are both by Drew so he's got to teach me the songs and then we can record them so I'm kinda excited about that.
School's going pretty good and I'm excited for Spring Break although I have nothing cool planned it will be a nice vacation from the books.

P.S. I'm gonna try and video record the songs that I record with Drew so that I can post those on youtube as well.

Steroids, Mountain Air and Gatorade
So lets see .... the other day I woke up and felt just fine. Ok well that's a lie. I felt horrible; I had two papers due that morning and it was going to be a stressful day. I finally finished the papers and the printing and was back in my room exhausted. I climbed up on my bed and fell asleep for almost three hours. When I woke up I had a sore throat and a little bit of a cough. No big deal tho; I'd get some cough drops from Liz till I could run to the store and all would be fine. haha! wrong again. That night I took some Nyquil and went to bed. "slept like HELL!" (peanut, JeffDunham.com super funny character) and woke up choking. I decided to go to the clinic and see what I had and if I could get some drugs for it. They didn't have any openings until Friday so I made an appointment and said I'd come back. Later that day I was getting leaps and bounds worse so my parents came up and took me to the Emergency Room. I got in there and they did a whole bunch of tests only to inform me that there was nothing they could do. I had a viral infection I just had to live with until it decided to stop pestering me. :(
I woke up Friday morning and I could barely breathe. I was planning on canceling the visit at the clinic but decided against it as I was struggling for air. I went to the appointment and the first thing the doctor asked me was if I was asthmatic. I'm not and he immediately started checking me. Realizing that what ever I had was viral he decided to give me a steroid shot to keep my airway from closing and this Epineph shot (some sort of caffeine shot that would speed up my heart and make me jittery but help me breathe). He also gave me these tiny HydrOXYzine pills to help open my air way. FUN!!!!
Because I was having a hard time breathing my parents took me home and well here I am. Steroids, clean mountain air, gatorade, soup.... But most importantly I can breathe! You never really notice how nice a deep breath of air is until you can't take one.

Wow What A Day!
So it started pretty good.... great actually! I woke up around nine (I'm not really sure)
and got myself a bowl of cereal. Then I proceeded to eat my cereal while making a fire. It was a nice fire :). I read my book by my nice fire and finished my cereal by that wonderful fire. If you couldn't tell by now I really liked the fire and I was proud of myself because I finally got it started and was no longer freezing. I read all day and sat by that fire wrapped in a blanket (I was rather comfortable).
Mom got home around noon while I was in the shower (yes I planned the timing :D). Well as the garage opened up I knew mom would be upset because I didn't do what she wanted me to do so I grabbed my towel and jumped in the shower before the garage door went back down. I know you're all surprised, but I can move fast when I want to. Ah Haha! Mom was still mad when I got out and probably more so but oh well the shower felt great. She then sent me to get some stuff printed and so left..... When I got home mom was considerably calmer and all was well by my standards :). I continued to read my book and do random chores she asked me to do.
This is where it gets fun!
Then mom left. She was picking up the dry cleaning and doing some other errands. Anyways, she had been gone for a while and the weather was getting pretty bad. Mom called and asked me what I wanted for dinner and told me she was on her way home. We decided on Wendy's and I figured she'd be home in about 20 minutes. Ten minutes later the wind really picked up and I heard a CRASH! on the back porch. I ran to the back door and flipped on the light. I couldn't see anything and then I saw it! Ok so it wasn't anything big, it wasn't really anything but, the lid to the ash can had flown off and crash landed in the ever building snow drift/bank. I didn't really want to go outside in my socks but I knew that dad wouldn't want ash to spread over his yard and I didn't want to lose the lid while I found shoes. So I ran out the door. Keep in mind it's really windy and snowing and I'm wearing ankle socks, sweatpants, and a hoodie over a tank (not exactly snow gear). So I ran out the door and pulled it shut behind me (I was trying to be considerate and knew mom didn't want a snowdrift in the dinning room). I didn't think to check the lock before I ran out and I didn't really think I had closed it all the way. ANYWAYS, I put the lid on real tight while dancing in the snow (yes, it was cold). I jumped up the stairs and grabbed the door handle when to my shock and utter dismay it was locked! duhn duhn dun! I cleared off a small space of the stair and stood alternating feet while I contemplated my situation.
"The front door could be unlocked", I thought to myselft between shivers. "No, I vividly remember the cat looking at me with that sad little face (much to small for the fat body it has acquired recently) while I closed and locked the door. Not to mention I bet the snow is pretty deep along the side of the house."
So I sat, well stood, and waited.
And waited.
And waited some more.
I was sure I'd been out there forever! Huddled against the door hoping to feel the heat from that nice, nice fire I'd built and kept up all day. When my thoughts wandered to the story of The Little Match Girl. Talk about a depressing thought! For those that don't know the story is about a little girl that is sent out in her mothers shoes on a cold wintry night, I expect was something like this one, to sell matches and fake flowers. Her shoes fall off and she's walking in her 'stockings' in the snow. Oh and the little girl dies. So yeah depressing thoughts, I know! At this point I figured I hadn't really been outside that long and that mom would be home soon but I figured I'd count so I had a better judgment of time and so I didn't think about the horrible ways my life could end while standing on the back porch! AH HAHA! JUST Kidding!
ANYways, I started counting "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21.... I wont bore you by counting all the way :). I got up to about 700 giver or take, all the while hoping to hear the garage open, and I realized mom wasn't going to be home soon. I daringly stuck my head around the corner of the house in search of lights. I couldn't see any! (Mostly due to the blizzard like storm and my fogged glasses). I knew something was wrong so I checked again. The lights were on! There was life! I counted to three and ran around the corner. I made a quick left to check the front door and as I predicted it was locked. So I ran across the street where I was greeted at the door with confused looks. I borrowed the phone and about 30 minutes later mom got home and I ran back across the street in my socks. I couldn't see a thing and ended up running through the yard! It was so deep! I finally get to the door and it's locked! So I franticly ring the doorbell and dance around while mom comes to the door. I dance down the hall while kicking off snow and socks and plant myself by the fire, by the nice, nice fire which I made that was still going. :D.
I have thoroughly thawed since then and am contentedly sitting by my nice, nice fire.
Loves!

The Official End of My Official First Semester In College!
SOoooo...... I am officially done with my first official semester of college! YAY! I'll find out here in about two weeks how I did and I'm hoping that it all went well. So lets see, there's not a whole lot going on right now..... I was sick and I'm still a little under the weather but doing tons better. Maybe it's partially due to the fact that I don't get tired until about 4 in the morning lol!
Hm..... no new boys to speak of .....well there's Jamel but he's nothing. A football boi that's fun to talk and hang with but nothing more.
I'm adding tons of songs to my list; that is I'm learning lots of new songs on the guitar and I think you will all like them. FISH!! we NEED to play! There's so many songs I've found that I think you would love!
Oh, there is one major ...ish... thing on my mind right now. (Daddy don't worry I'm not getting married ;) :P) There is a girl down the hall that is like 98% sure she's moving out before next semester so her bed would be open. Her roommate is LDS and in my ward.... oh and I lover her! She's a really cool girl and I think we could get along great! So Mallory is moving out and Elizabeth needs a roommate; Liz asked me if I would want to move in with her and I'm seriously thinking I might. I love my roommate but because of different religious beliefs it's kinda hard at times. Things would really change for me and Sara. There are lots of 'little' things in our room that came from me so that would change and room 53215 would no longer be "The Guitar Room". Liz doesn't play guitar but that's ok. Liz is also home most nights whereas sometimes I don't see Sara for over 24 hours and it's just a little hard.
So it's only a matter of time until I'm home for the break! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! And again only a matter of time until I know if the room will be open and I get to explain to Sara why I want to move down the hall from her. *SIGH*
Anyways, I'm done for now.
Mucho Loves!

IT"S SNOWING!!!!!
Oh lands! So it's November 27th and it's finally snowing.
This is how my day has gone thus far.
Tried to set alarm (last night): didn't work this morning.
Got up late because back up alarm (roomie sara) didn't work either.
Got ready but was late so I skipped breakfast.
Pretty warm day left jacket at home.
Played tennis.... did pretty good.
Talked to some CS buds.
Got on a bus and went to the HC to get a late breakfast.
Came home to do homework and grab notebooks.
Left a little early and stopped by the bookstore. ( The temp had dropped considerably by this time but I was too lazy to go back up the stairs and grab a jacket and gloves.)
Bought a new pair of headphones $20 (Mom & Dad scratch that off the Christmas list). My old ones were officially beat. One headphone didn't work at all and just shocked me when it kinda worked so I didn't use it and the chord was falling apart so the wires were exposed and shredding.
Went to math ......Zzzz need I say more?
Went to the GEEKIEST building on campus. :) The Engineering Classroom Building.
Finished up my math homework and talked to a guy in my ward until CS started.
Sat through Programming only staying awake to laugh at my sleeping neighbors. ... I wish I could show you pictures of some of them!
Walked out of class to see it snowing!
Turned in my math homework.
Waited in the snow for a bus to get me from the bottom of campus.
Rode the bus home and now I'm chillin in my room telling you the story of my day while eating Skittles and Mike 'n Ikes and sniffling. :(

MY HAIR!!!!!!
Ok, so, I decided to change my hair and part of the change was color...... I wanted to go dark brown but my only chance to do that was a few days before family pictures and I was kinda nervous about such a drastic change with little time to get used to it so I dyed my hair so I would have time to get used to it or enough time to realize I really didn't like it and change it back to my fun blond ways......... well enough said this is what I did
......... and this is how it turned out :)
