Does KaYla know how to read?

So if you have met me, you probably know that I am not one to read. Well, I read textbooks, and magazines, and my scriptures, and celebrity gossip online, and sports articles, but that's it. I cant tell you the last book that I read just to read. Some people have asked me what my favorite book is, and I reply Enders Game. Maybe its cause the actual only reading book I read in High School. (but I did enjoy it, and read it voluntarily a second and third time) And just so everyone knows, I rebelled against the summer reading program. So anyway, there I was at Borders and I was committed to buying an actual book. I bought a book, about a brain surgeon, and her life working at the hospital. I actually read it, and enjoyed it. I bought another similar type of book, and read it. But I dont feel the need to rush out and get another book anytime soon. Unless the book is written by the writters of the OC, in an attempt to keep the story line going. I will be first in line, and maybe comparible to a Twilight (still going strong having not seen the movie, FYI) fan who then doesnt sleep till the book is over.

This brings me to the point of the post... I wont go on forever about how I miss the OC, cause everyone knows I do, and the special place that it holds in my heart. But last night in my dream, I was reading. Whered that come from? Its okay, I was apparently reading a book about the OC.

New Friends

I thought that it was going to be hard coming back to school seeing as most of my friends moved on and left Idaho while I was on suspension. I was really used to how things were. So much about the campus has changed too, and the way that the school is run. Some of the changes I knew were coming, cause I sat in a meeting with Pres. Clarke and a member of the CES Board to see the new building plans, and be one of the first to hear of the new Learning Model. (I used to be the student Competitive Sport Director, after a long time in the program and as a participant I climbed that ladder.) But anyway, some would say that I am a social butterfly, so coming back to Idaho and starting fresh in the friend department wasnt what I was looking forward too. When I first started the semester I was in a complex called Mountain Pines (but there is a long story for later), and after about 10 days I moved out, and back to my favorite place to live, TUSCANY (where I have lived most my time here in Idaho). I remember walking in to met my new roomies with Skyler and Lauren and I was a little scared. But honestly they are by far the best roommates that I have ever had. Let me tell you about Haley. She is from Texas/ New Mexico, and my first thought of her was that she was a CRAZY. There are no words to describe the decor in her room, the things she says, her personality, hows shes the RS president, and everything about her. She is however, so lively and full of spunk, and is going to make an incredible missionary. (she and Rheba have similar qualities) You cant help but LOVE Haley. I wont blog on the rest of my roomies, but they are incredible too! I can write so many stories on them and the things that we have been through this past semester. Like all the late nights we have spent talking, and talking, and talking. In the hallway, the bathroom, the living room, our neighbors living room (cause we are friends with them too), sidewalking, everywhere. I have lost more sleep due to late nights, and early classes. But I would take it back for anything. I am so grateful for new friends I made this semester.

Here is a picture, from one night they decided to do my make up like a girl in a magazine. Stephanie (from the Fresno area) is on the left, Terren (from Michigan) in the middle, and then me (from the fabulous Elk Grove, CA! ) on the right. We are in the car in this picture, about to go to Horkleys!

Have you ever had this experience?

Doniac Schvice (DOE-nee-ack sh'-VICE) ... is that experience when you are coming home and you hear the phone ring and you fumble for your keys to get the door unlocked - and when you finally get inside and to the phone - right then and only right then, it stops ringing.

Doniac Schvice, was also the title of an official newsletter put out by the band Phish (that I am a new fan of). But it hasn't gone out since at least Spring 2000.

FLASH BACK TO 2005....

So I was sitting in my Environmental Class today, and I was paying attention to the lecture to the best of my availability. We were talking about Perc Testing and water, and sources of it, and filtration, blah blah blah. I have already learned about Perc Testing. I took a Water Quality and Sanitation class back in the fall of 2005. So this section had been a little bit of review for me. Well my teacher wanted to show pictures of a class carried out Perc Test and he happened to pick the pictures from the class I was in with him years ago. I probably wouldn't have noticed that I was in the photo cause I sit in the back with my amazing back row friends and we weren't paying 100 percent attention. Thanks to my teacher though he pointed it out, and it gave me a good laugh. He also made the lecture available to us online, so I snagged the photos. In the first pic you can only see part of me. And the second photo I am conducting the test.

Thank you mom and dad for paying my tuition... so I can dig in the dirt!

Happy Birthday Mother!

Happy 37TH Birthday Mother!
I love you!I found thisphoto and thought that you would enjoy it!

Pranks

So here in Idaho my roommates and I have been in a semester long prank war. The other day we come home from the ward activity to find this:All of clothes in either the living room or hallway. Not just the clothes that were hung up and put away, but the dirty, the undies drawer (who really wants boys touching that. not me.), ALL of it. It sure was fun sifting through it all. Cause 6 girls means a lot of clothes.

And yes. Thats our upside down furniture.

AND..... whered our Toliet Seats go? We have two toilets, and they took both seats. And turned off the bathroom water.
Theres more.... The cookies that were on the tile in the bathroom.
And the labels that were on our canned goods came of. Afterwards we had to play "Guess the CAN". Good thing they caught us the day before grocery shopping.

What-else : The color die in the shower. The missing silverware. And not just to us but the girls on the other side of our towers floor.

So what did we do to deserve this? Two weeks ago we left church during Sunday school and moved there living room furniture to the corner, down the street from the temple, so they can see it as they drove home.
But why did we do that? Cause even though we live on the second floor the managed to snoop through the window during our never ending girls night sleepover- with a mask and try to scare us. When I figure out how to upload the video I will.
And why did we deserve that... the story goes on and on.

Fun Idea: Pay it Forward...

I got this from Krishelle Duffin- so it ought to be fun!

The first five people to leave a comment on this blog will receive something made by me. However there are some limitations.

1. I make no guarantee that you will like what I make.
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It will be done this year.
4. You have no clue what it is going to be, poetry, clothes, paper goods, or a little invention of my own. I may bake something and mail it you . Who knows? Not you that's for sure!
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

Here's the catch, if you choose to do this. You must post this on your blog and be ready to make something for five people too. This will be fun! When you receive the fabulous item I make you, you must post a picture of it on your blog.
