Loving life...

You're probably going to laugh BUT this week our apartment failed our cleaning checks again. You know how you get checked once and then they came back. Well that was what we failed; however, remember how we spent over 8 hours scrubbing for the second time. No lies. I was on my hands and knees in the bathroom. Sick. I almost puked all over myself. Then, when we found out that we failed--it was all on.

First of all, we (as an apartment) lamented our sorrows by going to Taco Tuesday at Del Taco. After discussing the way that we were going to talk to our management, we came home and drafted a very 'legal' sounding letter that cited a breach of contract and, I'm ashamed to say, discrimination. My roommates thought it would be a good idea at the time, but I wasn't a fan after we had actually spoken to the management. You see, right after we failed, we checked other apartments that passed in our complex. We were failed on things that obviously weren't checked in the other apartments. We concluded that they obviously didn't like us for some reason--hence the discrimination note. You may think that we didn't get any love after we presented the management with it, however, WE DID! They said that they hoped we would pass next time and that they had made a mistake unrelated to the second check. So, we don't have to pay $200 or something to get the apartment re-cleaned.

So, after that (on Wednesday) Ryan, Jill, Katie, and I went to do some cookin' at the Bell tower. We made smores and then played around on "elfyourself.com"--so freaking funny. One of my favorites was when we put President Samuelson's face on an elf and that elf just happened to shimmy! Ha ha. The Bell Tower is a great place. During this most recent visit, and the many times before, we've gotten together and just partied like it was 1999. Two of the three times I've made smores at the Bell Tower, we had an actual dance party to the radio in my car...we were outside of the car when we danced.

This picture here is just before Garrett, Liz, Ian, Ryan, Jonathan, and I went to the movies. This was also the night that EVERYONE loved Ryan's hooded sweatshirt with Elvis' face on the hood part. I even freaked out when I thought Ryan was just staring at me and other people. We were also blessed with a visit from our Snow College buddies this week. Dan Anderson and his crew came and we just showed them all a good time. It was awesome.

On Friday I got to drive all the way out to Weber State University for a Utah Student Council President's meeting. They have an awesome campus and a brand spanking new Student Union Building--good times! Then after that, I made my way back to MC the first EVER Mr. BYU! We had some slightly inappropriate acts that made it past the screening process, but overall it was a great event. Hit up Village Inn for a late night dinner with Dani, Jody, and Lee, then went to bed! Oh my. I've never been to Village Inn for an actual meal (except when Mum, my sister, and I ate pie there). So we had heaps of fun ordering breakfast at 11pm at night. Don't hate.

Then we had the game versus Utah yesterday. I still have to give a shout out to the team. I think that we made mistakes, but no one (not even Utah State) gets out onto the field and intends to lose. Max and the team tried their hardest to win and I think that it's at times like this that we have to suck it up. Show the cougars your support because they are probably feeling the burn ten times more than you are.
