it's been awhile...at least a week

Here's an update.....

Kathryn is dating up a storm. We like to listen to her stories though. No dates for me and my other roommates yet....if only they knew what they were missing out on. Haha. We don't mind.

I've had some hard times with my car/driving this month. Pulled over, accident and other such related experiences that I'd rather not mention.

Last Saturday my mom and I went to the Utah UCLA game! Best game of my life. It was so much fun! 44 to 6 do I need to say more? I think not. My mom and I rushed onto the field afterwards. And we even got on TV. It was quite the experience. We were kind of going crazy. Richard is now afraid of my mom and tells me this often. He said he would never want to meet her in a dark alley. If you would like to see the video clip just stop by my house I'm sure my mom would love to show you. We had a blast! Too bad they had to ruin all that fun against UNLV. I don't know what happened. But we can always look forward to the future...November 24!!!!

On Friday it was Timpview's Homecoming. Chris, Richard and I went. It was strange to be back. It was so fun to see everyone again. But it wasn't the same. It wasn't our band or our school anymore. We didn't belong but it was fun to visit. Timpview won of course!!! And for some odd reason they had a huge firework show. It's official Timpview is a rich school. I guess they went to block so they can have firework shows at their football games.

Saturday was BYU's homecoming. It was a fun game. And of course they just had to win. I think it was because of the one extra special student (not fan) in the stands.....if you know what I mean.

I got my first calling yesterday but naturally I can't tell you because I haven't been sustained or set apart yet. So until next time.....

bowling

I joined a bowling league! I'm quite excited about it. And just the other night a bunch of us went bowling. And I beat everyone! I'm so proud of that. 123! Thank you very much. So not only will I be a famous author but I will also be a professional bowler within the next ten years I'm sure. Look for me on ESPN!

our first roast

We made our first roast on Sunday. Well really Nichelle made it. It was quite the adventure. We had a good time cutting it. By the end you couldn't really tell that it was still a roast but it tasted really good. We even had bbq beef night tonight with the left overs. They were delicious. We have lots of "nights". And we've been having "family" dinners almost every night. And Chris and Richard have kind of joined our family. We love them! You guys are always welcome! Stay tuned for more fun filled adventures of Apartment 124.

We hate this picture

Here is our first day of school picture...Kristen and I both hate it. I don't know what I am doing with my leg..haha.

Courtney S. Taylor...soon to be famous author.

So today, during one of my hour breaks in between classes, Richard and I went to the Hinckley Alumni and Visitor Center. It's pretty amazing. And very beautiful. It was really fun. And well worth our hour spent there. During the tour that we received our tour guide took us to the Alumni Library which was empty but she said they are going to fill it with books written by students, alumni, professors, books about BYU...etc. And I said to Richard "I want to have a book in here." He responds with "One about BYU." And I say "I'll title it A U at the Y." So in about 10 years look for my book on the New York Best Sellers list...or at least in the bargain bin at your nearest Borders.

my first (and second) day of school!

I've decided that I don't really like being a freshman again...once was enough. But my first day was so good. Although I was falling asleep in my classes. Not a good sign. My first class was MFHD 210 Human Development from Dr. Nelson. He seems really cool. And I'm excited for the class. Then Kristen and I had an hour an half to just chill. And then we had Book of Mormon with Brother Parker. He also seems very fun. But I'm kind of worried about his tests...but it will all work out. Someone even asked me for directions and I was able to help them. I was so happy!!! And I didn't feel like a freshman. Kristen and I even took a first day of school picture, which will soon follow.

My second day of school was also exciting. Kristen and I had HEPE 129 Fitness and Lifestyle Management. It was in the JSB auditorium. And there are 866 students in the class. As well as a bunch of Timpview students. Then I had an hour break...where I read for a class...yes I'm actually doing my homework. And then I had chemistry which I couldn't really find because I forgot the classroom number so I had to call Kristen who was back at the apartment and I got the right classroom...I felt like such a freshman...darn it. I really like my chemistry professor. And then I had another hour break where I also did homework. Yeah for me! Then I had English 150. So I guess all in all it was a fun filled day. But I was relieved when it was over.

I've seen tons of people that I know from high school. It's pretty crazy and fun! I can't believe I've actually started college. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now. And really small. I walk across campus and think no cares that I'm here, no even knows that I am. There are so many people. But it's so fun too! I'm excited and scared for my classes. It will be a huge learning semester and year for me. so stay tuned!

MY apartment!

Here are a bunch of pictures from my first weekend in my new apartment. We're all moved in which is so incredible. We've had fun! We haven't got much sleep. It's been pretty busy but exciting. Kristen and I even got locked out our first day here. Haha surprise, surprise. We've had lots of visitors. We are so popular! Go us! On Saturday Kathryn's father challenged us to meet 10 boys and know one thing about them. We all accomplished it. In fact we exceeded and met 12! We went to the game on Saturday. And watched BYU beat Arizona. It was quite the hot game. Chris and Kathryn even stole empty water bottles out of a card board box while we were waiting in line at the drinking fountain and washed them out. And filled them with water. Then four us proceeded to share Chris's water bottle. We might get sick..oh well. We went to our new singles' ward for the first time today. Testimony meeting wasn't what I expected there wasn't a single awkward silence it was a continuous stream of people starting immediately after the Bishop sat down. I'm excited to meet new people and start school on Tuesday. I'm in college. How did I get this old?







Kristen and me just after we moved in.




Our wonderful kitchen, where we will make yummy things to eat. Kathryn loves to make cookies. Nichelle is a pro milk shake maker. And Kristen and I are good at eating that stuff. We make a good team.




This is where we get clean and make ourselves look beautiful. Equipped with a Cars shower curtain and everything...thanks Kristen.




Our bed. I'm on bottom if you can't tell.




Here we are at the game. I can never seem to take a normal picture...being normal is boring.




Some of our visitors. Chris and Richard came to visit our first night. Thanks for coming guys. We are going to feed them if they'll do our dishes...haha.





This is Richard being um...Richard. I guess he's trying for a modeling career. Good luck with that Richard.

who's having the most fun?

That's me. Then Richard, Chris, Nichelle and Kathryn. Nichelle and Kathryn are my other two roommates. We are at the BYU vs. Arizona game. Who do you think is having the most fun? Me of course. And I'm not even a BYU fan. And I'm also not wearing a "fully invested" shirt. But I had fun nonetheless. I have so many people trying to "convert" me. They are fighting a battle that can't be won. Go Utes!!

i'm still a ute.

I think the sun was making me delirious. It was quite hot that day. We were at the BYU vs. Arizona game. And for some strange reason Kristen decided to record my sarcastic singing. So I made my singing debut singing the BYU fight song....not my ideal situation. But it's pretty hilarious at least I and my roommates thought so.

being trendy is hard work

I need your advice....I want to be more trendy. How do I do it? Please leave me tons of comments I need all the help I can get.
