I'm excited for-
1. November 19th. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1.
2. December 10th. The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
Both look exquisite. Check out their trailers if you don't believe me. But I am telling the truth. Promise.

Girls Get Away
Ever been to Midway, Utah? Its amazing. I'm in love. Yesterday I went out to Midway with my friends Kirsten, Natalie, Hannah, Kelly, Annie and Christine, then we came home today. Such a great way to spend a long weekend. We got gelato, supplies for a spa, gave eachother massages, watched Killers (with hottie mcHot hot Ashton Kutcher yesss) and swam in a crater! Okay the crater was tiigghtt! I loved it! It's a 65 ft deep, 95 degree crater for swimming/snorkeling/scuba diving. It was so much fun! I lurrrved it:) thanks Kir for inviting all of us! I think we'll make it a tradition! So of course we listened to some great music on the hour plus drive there and back and I heard this song. I love Allred and all of these songs. It's a legit medley.
Well I've gotta go eat dinner now, so thats all:)

It's Decided
So recently I decdided what I want to do with my life. Actually its what I've wanted to do since 7th ish grade, but now I just understand it and feel more ardently about it. So here's my plan.
I want to go to BYU and get a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
But in order to learn more about it and make sure it engineering is where I want to go, I'm applying(in February) for Hi-GEAR(Girls Engineering Abilities Realized) at the U of U. Basically its a week long camp for girls interested in engineering. They do hands on experiments and the like while working with the female engineering students and professors at the U. But here's the kicker- only 25-35 girls are accepted. I hope I make it so badly. But really. And it's over my birthday which could potentially be fun haha!
So ME here I come. I'm a girl and not a boy so I know you'll appreciate my love for math and science because I'm rare in your program.
And since I've looked harder into this, I've become so much more attentive and willing to learn in Calculus and Chemisty. Its good for me.

Satisfied
I love people. Yes, there are definitely things that really bother me in some people but why would that make you say you hate someone? Why would you say you hate how judgemental this person is. Doesn't that just make you judgemental? I don't get it. I know this seems very arbitrary, but it's been on my mind today.
Oh and speaking of people, I'd like to share with you a little 20 seconds of my life that made my day today. So I was out of class (with a hall pass of course) because I had to take something to my car. As I was walking down the 3rd floor hall I saw these two guys talking to some teacher. I know who these boys are but I guarantee they don't know me. So I was planning on just walking past, minding my own business when one of them smiles and waves at me. So I wore a cute little smile and waved back. Then he proceeded to tell the teacher/me, "she's really pretty" and the teacher said, "yes, she is really pretty" so I said a cute little "thanks:)" (I guess everything I did was just cute and little haha). Now I know this sounds so dumb and you're probably thinking to yourself self-centered much? But you have to know today I felt TERRIBLE! I woke up late, showered, braided my hair, pulled on jeans and a sweatshirt, put on mascara and tried to stay awake through all my classes, all the while feeling like I looked like a disaster victim. To hear this guy tell me that really made me feel so much better about my day. So thanks ______.
Yesterday I had a debate tournament, first of the season! I competed in JV Impromptu. I haven't given an impromptu speech since last november so I went into it so unprepared! First round I had to speak on the quote "Don't go through life, grow through it" -Erik Butterworth. Now this was actually a really easy quote, but I bombed my speech. And I felt so bad about myself because I didn't really try and I regret that. Then came round two and I spoke on the topic Imagination. Redemption! I felt really good about this round! And there was this guy in there who is from England and has a British accent. Score. Then came round three. The dreaded current event round. I looked at the 3 topics I was given. Haiti, Wind Farms and Distracted Driving. So of course I went for the last one! It was so good! I had so many great captivating stories and took up the full 7 minutes! I was really feeling good now! (sidenote: British boy was in there too!) But I really felt bad about my first round because that one eliminated me from placing:( So while we waited for awards Bountiful's debate team had so much fun! Ahh go Nick Johnson for organizing games. In Layton High's foyer they have a diamond shaped logo in the carpet so what did we do? Played BASEBALL!! It was so fun! I took my shoes off because they were heels and hard to play in and then my toe got sliced open. So my debate friends Hannah, Natalie, Nick, and Kim carried me to go find a band-aid while making siren noises.. We caused quite a scene. Then FINALLY we had awards. In the JV impromptu category they awarded 2 finalists befor the top 3 and I was a finalist! I was shocked! I didn't place, but I did a lot better than I thought I would! So that was that.
Today in English we did lots and lots of grammar. I've never liked grammar until this class. Go Gardener.
Calculus. I love calculus. Everyday it gets better and better. More and more challenging. And I adore it. I also love helping people with their math. Nerdy? Probably, but I'm okay with it.
By the way my nephew is growing too fast. Good thing I see him in approximately 2 months! hmmm.. thought. Maybe I should skype my sister and nephew. That's almost like face to face. Erin?

Homecoming 2010
So since homecoming week is officially over I figure now is as good a time as any to post about it! The week started pretty slow.. I had a Junior Committee meeting to make posters for the parade but thats about it. Nothing really started happening until wednesday with the parade and pow wow! The parade was hot, short and fun haha! But the pow wow after was a blast! I signed up to compete in the toothpick/lifesaver race. Basically you have a toothpick in your mouth and you pass a lifsaver on the toothpick down a row of people. And I was so mad because the juniors totally should have won but the seniors cheated.. oh well, it was still way fun! Lots of music and dancing.. successful night! Oh and as a side note, I'm posting pictures of Johnny and his homecoming adventures so you can see them Erin.
Thursday was the assembly, I just watched it but Johnny was in it for being Homecoming king. He was also in the video as an avatar.. Such a great homecoming video! Probably my favorite part Johnny was in was the peanut butter/plexi glass contest between the royalties.. Johnny's team won!
Friday was the homecoming game against undefeated East. I'll be honest,I thought we'd lose but alas, the Braves pulled off a 21-0 victory!! It was such an amazing game! Ahh! GO BRAVES!
Then Saturday. The Homecoming dance. I went with Wesley Thompson and it was so fun! The dance was on the night of the Priesthood session of General Conference, so for the boys to be able to go we didn't go to dinner, but had a day activity and went to Macaroni Grill for lunch.. or an early dinner. Either way haha. Then we went to the ZOO!! I love the Zoo.. and Giraffes.. which are at the Zoo. Perfect match. Then the girls went home to get ready while the boys were at Priesthood! It worked out beautifully! I loved my dress (thanks to Hannah) It was perfect!
My group was so fun!! My very best friends were in the group which made it such a party! I met some new amazing girls as well! And oh the boys! I love them all! We probably had the most fun and most attractive group at the dance hands down!
Overall one of the most fun nights of my life! Oh and Mr Homecoming King Johnny looked pretty good himself:)
