I'm Back!

Well to all you blog followers!! Yeah I know there are so many of you out there! I am back! I will try to be better at blogging...but who knows if that will happen!
Life as you know it has been crazy busy!!! I blame that all on nursing school! I thought I had no time before....nursing school proved me wrong! It is the most grueling, hardcore, never ending, painful, nerve racking, most bitter sweet experience of my life. I thought I was a crying boob before! Nothing has broken me down more but yet be so fullfilling at the same time! I have made so many new friends, learned more than my brain can hold, and pushed myself in school more than I ever have before! I LOVE every minute of it!
Currently living at home as been a whirlwind! I don't know where I would be without my mom nagging me every single day! It's hard but I love spending my evenings with here...and my dad (when he is home) hahah Love you dad!
I just passed my LPN boards!! WAHOOO and I am working on school for my RN! I graduate in December!! CAN'T WAIT!!!
I do not have a lot to say...I am not that exciting...All I have to say is I love life, I love Jed, I love/hate school, I love my family! I can't wait to see what the future holds!!

Resolution Season

Happy New Year Everyone!!
I can't believe that it is now 2010! I think 2009 will go down in history as one of the years I experienced all sorts of emotions! However, it is now in the past so it is time to move on! I am not really good at making resolutions but I thought I would give it a try. In a year I'll look back and most likely they will not be completed. But who goes through life as a pessimist?

• Go to the gym...yeah I know everyone makes this one!
• Be studious...my classes are not going to be easy this semester! They are all biology! Yuck!
• Move on....it's time!
• Complete school with a 4.o GPA (Yeah this one may be more of a dream than a goal)
• Eat healthier...I was going pretty well unitl the holiday season came along
• Get to sleep early...nothing really goes on after 10 pm
• Don't text so much....I decided it's a cold median of communication and I'm kinda tired of it haha
• Attend relief society...sad to say I haven't been in over 4 months :-(
• Read scriptures daily...there was a time I use to do this and I miss it.
• Finish applications...they are due next week! YIKES!!!
• Find a job in Ogden area...it's time to move back! I'll miss Logan dearly!
• Get accepted into the nursing program...that depends on them not me!
• Don't regret anything...I never do but I need to be reminded sometimes!
• Write in my blog...I don't know why I have one cuz no one ever reads it and I never write in it!
• 2009 is in the past...time to see what the future has to bring me!

That is a good starter list I think! I better get a move on if I want to complete any of them! Goals are always a good thing to have cuz then you have something to do with your life! I can't wait to see what this year holds! I know if I just study hard and get things done....everything will be great!

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy New Year! Here's to us!! BRING IT ON 2010!!!!

So Much To Do So Little Time

Life is busy busy as my mother would say it. My Yankees are going to the SERIES!!! Wahoo! Totally stoked about that! I am also stoked by the fact that I won a bet and am now getting free ice cream for it hahaha. For all you Red Sox bandwagon fans out there....SUCKA FISH! haha

So my co-worker and I are going to join the rugby team in the spring! We are crazy! But I think it will be so much fun. I have always wanted to play a game or two of rugby. I remember when I was a little girl and just messin around we played rugby in our backyard back in Roy (miss it). It was the richards the richins and the watt kids, and we somehow managed to talk Zak Van Dyke to come play with us. As we were playin I run into the back of Zak and smash my finger into his spine. Needless to say that I broke it and I couldn't play goalie and more (which I was okay with :-}) Hopefully I won't break anything in the spring :-)

I am also on and intramural indoor soccer team. It is so much fun! We were schooled our first game. But you have to cut us some slack because we just got a bunch of friends together and the team we played have been playing with each other for years! They were totally hardcore into it and we were just playin for the heck of it! Don't worry we will be ready for them in the playoffs haha.

School is super busy. I am just countin down the days until May when I get to move out to Pensylvannia with my mom and dad. That will be so much fun! I can't wait!

Life Is a Highway.....

Yes I know I haven't updated this thing in what seems like forever, but don't worry I haven't forgotten. Life has been crazy! I really now believe that life is a highway....a very bumpy highway. I have had my up and downs these past months. Through the heartaches, tears, laughters, and fears...I still manage to be alive. This past summer had my name on it. I have never realized how important my family is to me. I love them all to death! They are wonderful, beautiful people, and I wouldn't change them in anyway. I have the best friends! I now know who I can and cannot trust. I know now the true meaning of a broken heart. I thought I knew a lot more than I did about that kinda stuff but I turned out to be wrong. I don't recommend that feeling to anyone. It's the pits. I have bounced back. If you think you hit rock bottom (which I thought I had) don't worry! It's just a trampoline and you can bounce back! I am on the uphill! This summer I even learned things about myself. I am stubborn...simple as that. I need to work on that I know. I have learned about myself more than I have ever realized. Don't sweat the small stuff. Yes..Mom you have told me that many times but I never really understood it. Everything I do has a consequence. Good or bad, something will always lead to something else. I can't change the past nor do I want to. Don't EVER EVER give a 2 year old anything with red #40 in the ingredients. You won't get them to bed or to calm down and then your going to want to pull out your hair. I learned my lesson when I gave strawberry jam to my little cousin Emma. WOW!!! That is all I have to say about that crazy girl!! I am the only one left at home so to say! Kendra tied the knot! YAY FOR DINNER!! Which you still owe me dearest sister! A lot happened over the summer. Some things I wish didn't have to end they way they did, and others I wish I could re-live! I am going to start writing in this thing more often but I can't make any promises! I love my family! Love my friends! I am ready to see what the highway of life as in store for me! Can't wait for the memories!

Math 1050 Blog

The methods of elimination and substitution solve systems of equations with two variables.  In elimination, the key step in this method is to obtain, for one or more of the variables, coefficients that differ only in sign so that adding the equations eliminates the variable.  By eliminating one one or more you can receive a single equation in which you can then back substitute that answer into the other equation to find both variables.

In substitution, you perform the following steps.  You first solve one of the equations for one variable in terms of the other.  You then substitute the expression found in step one into the other equation to obtain an equation in one variable.  After that solve the equation in step two.  Back substitute the value(s) obtained in step three into the expression obtained in step one to find the value(s) if the other variable.  Last, check that each solution satisfies both of the original equations.

If The Wait Is Longer Than 45 Minutes...Pick a New Place!!!

While I was in Salt Lake this past weekend I learned a very valuable lesson!
My roommate and I were in Salt Lake for a few days and we decided to go to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner! Even though all we really wanted was the cheesecake! Well if you have ever been there you would know it is right by Fashion Place mall. They lady told us it would be a 75 to 90 minute wait! So we thought ok we will just go putz around in the mall and kill time, and it should go by fast! Well when you're a college student you don't really have money to go shopping so it's not fun to go shopping. That is how is was for Amber and myself. We are both poor so we didn't really enjoy the shopping! So we go back to the restaurant and we still have a 45 minute wait before they will seat us. To make a long story short...we put our name in at 6:30 and were not seated until 8:20!! I have never waited to eat that long in my life! They food was great but come on...no restaurant is ever worth that kind of wait! Never again will I wait that long!
Salt Lake was fun! I had the chance to hang out with my Aunt and Uncle! They are a couple of characters! My Aunt recently won the teacher of the year award and shot a commercial for teachers everywhere! What an amazing Aunt right?!?! I know I am so lucky for her! Salt lake is a nice place to visit, but I don't know if I could ever live there! maybe! we will see! Now one more week before I head to Arizona! It's going to be a party! For sure! Can't wait to see my family! SPRING BREAK BABY!!!

Hangin With The Neighbors!

I love neighbors! They are so fun to have around! Especially when they do your math for you:-) As I am writing this blog I am sitting by my good friend Harrison who is doing my math quiz for me :-).Even though he is an english major! I also like when they play there guitar everyday in their room! And I can hear it while I am studying! Most of my neigbors are engineers so they are a lot smarter than me! This comes in hand when I need help with my classes like math and chemistry.
So there have been some debates in my awarding of "The One That Is" awards. Brittany Grose Watt now SHARES her award with my great Auntie Tiffany! Everyone else....you are what you are so deal with it! No more changes!
I will be getting some new neighbors next year as I will be moving to a new apartment complex. I am excited yet nervous at the same time to meet new people. It will be fun though!
My best friend comes home in 5 weeks! That is so close! I recieved a letter from him today and he is doing great! Can't wait for him to come home!
Life is good! Take mistakes in stride and don't ever let anyone say you can't do anything! Take Care :-)
