Wisdom Wednesday

So the other day I came to this sort of big realization.
Spain= less than 3 months away. 84 days.
Crazy, eh? I think so.
Something even crazier, you might ask?
THE FAMILY COMES TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited to see them all- and especially Kourtni's teeth... no more braces :) This weekend will be a great one- I've got almost all my homework-ish stuff done, I'm ditching school on Friday, and Ashlee is getting married! Yay! As for wisdom......
I could write about this:
meet recycling mountain. I am chief recycler in Bowen 11, but I keep forgetting/being too lazy to make the trek out to the recycling bin, so as for now, we'll all have to deal with the landmark in the corner.. it's nice scenery.
But instead, I'll write about THIS!
WW48- Great Boise minds think alike.
to make a very long story short, Emily and I basically were twins the other day... it was so funny, but really, what can you say when you've got style like ours? She's a nice, constant little piece of the city of trees in the city of... bees? haha

a neutral day

began the day by waking up without an alarm- plus
lost buddha at the gym- minus

went to the Utah game and BYU prevailed- plus

worked for 3 1/2 hours post-game, sweeping. seriously, do people have seizures when eating popcorn? I am beginning to wonder... - minus

finding 5 dollars while trudging through Marriott muck- plus

having to walk home in the snow and being too lazy to change out of my wet jeans now- plain pitiful

and tomorrow is SUNDAY though so I don't have to do anything. glorious!

January is a pretty dreary month- everyone knows that.
However, my January this year has actually not sucked that much!
Probably because things like this happen.
WW 47-Meet Slice.
Alright, if you stalk me enough, you know I work my fair share of morning shifts at the Marriott Center, and it's a little.... dull. I think that basically goes without saying.
Anyways, you might wonder who this pizza mascot is/ what he's doing at the Marriott Center early in the morning etc, etc. Well, Slice is the Papa John's pizza mascot who goes to all the basketball games, and gives free pizza to a random row of students during each game.
Anyways, Slice lives in the cheerleading storage room in the Marriott, and one day when we were cleaning up, Jill and I found Slice! We jumped for joy! It was the best thing that had happened to us all day! (Granted, it was probably 6:30 AM) Anyways, she persuaded me to put on the costume, and right as she went to take a picture with her camera, her phone died. It was such a sad day!
HOWEVER. Our luck changed last week, when again we were cleaning first level. This time Jill's phone was ready to capture this choice image. So I did it- I jumped in the pizza costume, we snapped a pic, and right as I was taking off the costume my manager walked it.
This was the best part- you see, the managers at the Marriott could care less what we are doing as long as we are out of their sight most days. They hardly ever come check on us, and so when Dale walked in and said, "is that a pizza I see?" it was totally unexpected. We just laughed, he shook his head, and then left. Probably to go finish his Big Gulp.
Oh Marriott Center- we should make a movie.

greetings from the Marriott

So, I'm working right now...
I clean for a couple hours, and then now I am spending the rest of my shift sitting on this couch in the basketball arena, doing my homework.
no wonder the 5:30- 8:30 shifts fill up so fast.

Current satiety? Starving!
good thing this is simmering on the stove. 9 more minutes.
Seems these days food is constantly on my mind... it's probably because I'm doing nutrition reading constantly this week.
However, don't get me wrong, it's a good thing.
WW46- you are what you eat. so take NDFS 100.
It's been 2 1/2 weeks into semester, and I already feel like I know a ton about the good ol' food guide, I can distinguish between an RDA and a UI, I could tell you what nutrients can be found in legumes (and what they are), and I could tell you all the reasons why you've got gas. hehe.
Anyways, what I am getting at? So far, nutrition is the best class of the semester, which is promising, seeing as I am leaning toward a career combining travel + cooking + more food + telling people to get off their pompis.
