I had a good idea.....

Last week I was sitting in my unbelievably boring class when I got a text from my BFF Doug. He informed me that he, Michelle, Hailey and I would be going to Pizza Plus as soon as I was out of my class, on him.
We'd never been to Pizza Plus before, and I decided to make it special.
We ate up our food and were just sitting there having a great time chatting. I looked down at my cup that was once full of lemonade and now just had that really good kind of ice. (You know, the kind you get from sonic that's the best EVER to chew on.)
I said, "Do you think if I tried to throw this into the garbage can from here
it would spill ice everywhere?"
Hailey said, "Yeah. It definately would."
I said, "Well, I want to try it anyway."

So I threw it.
And I forgot about the guy standing behind the garbage can
with the blue tooth head set and his pizza.
The ice hit the man in the head, landed on his plate of pizza, and dumped all over the floor.
Luckily he was nice.
I'm still not really sure why I thought that would be a good idea........

I hate that dang undergraduate committee.

I am missing class right now.
I NEVER MISS CLASS. EVER!

I just wasn't feeling up to it. And, I decided I hate this class. Seriously, I hate everything about it. So I've decided to boycott it, and write a blog entry instead.

I'm in a bad mood so I decided I'm going to write my bummer story of the day. It goes like this:

The day I made the decision to attend Utah State University was the day I decided to do my student teaching in Salt Lake City. Student teaching applications were due March 1. As the deadline closely approached I started submitting my applications and doing everything I had to in order to get it completed in time. I didn't notice until a few days before the deadline that extension student teaching required another application on top of the other 8,000 I had to fill out. So I started filling it out and realized at the bottom it said "Students must have a 3.5 cumulative GPA and an A or A- in all practicum courses in order to be considered for extension student teaching. If you do not meet the requirements you must write and submit an appeal to the undergraduate committee." Well lucky me, I just happened to have:
1. a 3.44 GPA
2. a B+ in my practicum course.

AWESOME. OR NOT.

I wrote an appeal giving MANY reasons why I should be accepted for extension student teaching. I had it in my head that for sure they'd let me. I mean, I was SO CLOSE to meeting the requirements. They couldn't possibly turn me down because I was off by .06 for the GPA requirement.

BUT THEY DID.

I am so bummed! What makes me mad is that the undergraduate committee is a group of people who have no idea who I am. What gives them the right to tell me what to do? Their reasoning was, "You will have more teacher support in Logan". THANKS. THAT WASN'T COMPLETELY OBVIOUS TO ME UNTIL YOU POINTED THAT ONE OUT. Now I'm forced to student teach in Logan. This means I'll have to sign a full year contract and then turn around and try to sell it half way through the year. I also just have to live in Logan, which I am kind of done with. I was so ready to move home and move on with my life. Don't get me wrong, Logan is great. I just wasn't planning on living here in the Fall.

Now maybe someone else should write a complainer story like mine so I don't feel like such a whiner. Or at least leave a comment about something crappy that happened to you?

Bob That Head




















Thursday night I got to go to the Rascal Flatts concert with my mom. We joined the fan club so that we could buy tickets early. The only problem with that is that they don't tell you where your seats are until you pick them up. Last year when we did that our seats weren't that great, but we just decided to do it again anyway to make sure that we got tickets. Well, we were lucky this time because we got FLOOR SEATS!!! and the stage went all the way around the floor so they were right up close to us the whole time. It was honeslty the best concert ever. The only downfall was Jessica Simpson. I thought she was terrible. Her country music sucks, she's annoying, and it sounded like she was just screaming the entire time. BUT-Rascal sang their new single and made me even more excited for their album to come out. I can't wait!!
