Film and Culture

My goal this semester has been to get a 4.0.

I have been taking only 3 classes this Semester (11 Credits)

(not including Insititute)

so It wouldn't be that hard.

Well,

One of those classes are Film and Culture.

It is a Humanities credit.

Here is a little how the first day of class went:

I walked in, looked over and noticed my teacher was a girl

(which kind of caught me off guard since the name on the schedule was a mans name)

When I was about to sit down this teacher started talking.

It was at the moment that I realized this was not a girl.

It was a man.

A transvestite.

I looked around at everyone in the class trying to figure out if I was the only one shocked by this discovery and somewhat nauseas. 

I did notice a few big eyes but nothing as shocking as I felt.

Then we started going over the Syllabus.

The teacher went on to explain that most of the movies we would be watching in this class were going to be rated R and that if anyone was uncomfortable with that, they should drop out now.

If we missed class, our grade would drop half a grade.

I remember sitting there arguing with myself.

I KNEW that I should probably drop out.

Here was my way of rationalizing myself into staying in the class.
and that's exactly what happened.

"There are no other humanities classes that I can take that aren't filled. I need to get this over with.  The movies won't be that bad since they all pertain to culture. It's for class so watching a rated R movie won't go against my values."

yeah I know. Pathetic.

After choosing to stay,

we have watched movie after movie that made me physically sick almost every time.

I managed to get through the movies that were rated R mainly because of the language

(which still bothered me).

I did NOT however, appreciate the movies about homosexuality.

It was just promoting homosexuality, and bringing the Church into it.

I have already missed class one time.

(because I forgot about class due to my busy schedule and I was kicking myself for it all day afterwards.)

So there went my 4.0

I would have an A- in that class, but it was close enough.

But today,

When I went to class.

The teacher announced the movie, which was a film about Christ.

We have already watched one movie about Christ that brought probably the worst feeling to me that I have EVER felt and I will NOT allow that feeling again.

I have a testimony of this Gospel.

I have a testimony of Christ and what He did for us.

So when we were sent to get food before the movie I started feeling very emotional.

I wasn't sure why.

I called my mom and asked her if she had any information about this movie and if she thought it would be okay to see.

My mom looked up the reviews and tried to decide with me on whether or not I should stay to see it.

I was praying silently while I talked to her for an answer to what I should do.

While she was looking it up I had this really strong emotion come over me and I started crying.

I started to realize that the only reason I wanted to stay was because of my grade. That was it.

The reasons I would leave was because of my Testimony of the Gospel.

If this movie was going to be anything like the last one we watched, I didn't even want a HINT of that horrible feeling I felt.  I told my mom I didn't think I was going to stay and I couldn't stop crying. I don't know why I just couldn't stop crying.

I was emotional all the way home because I was so angry with myself for taking this class.

When I got home,

my emotion left.  I prayed that if I had made the right decision not to go, then to help me forget about that class for the next couple of hours that I was supposed to be in class.

and that's exactly what happened.

I made the wrong decision to take this class.

I should have just dropped out.

I knew that taking it was the wrong decision, but I was doing it because I needed a Humanities credit NOW for some reason.

I'm embarrased to say I even allowed myself to watch some of the things I saw in that classroom.

It opened my eyes to how scary this world is.

Although the homosexuality video angered me and I would have been better off NOT seeing it,

the other movie about Christ angered me more.  The feeling it brought was one I have never felt before and one I will NOT let myself ever feel again.

The biggest Loser.

Okay here's the deal.

My mom, dad, sisters and I are all having a biggest loser contest.
Who ever loses the most weight, get's $60
(money that we all contributed).

It goes until November.

We have been doing this for about a week and a half now.

Last week,
I lost four pounds.
I hadn't had a 'dieting' plan set up because I was SOO busy last week,
but I hardly had time to eat.

I was very surprised that I had lost so much though..

THIS week,
I HAVE been strictly dieting.
Let me tell you something...I am NOT a fan of it.
I have been SUPER grumpy,
very emotional (for good reason though..I think they are very legitimate reasons)
and
REALLY tired all week.

So....
if I don't post for a couple weeks...
it may be because

1. I'm grumpy and don't want to let it show when I blog
2. I'm sleeping
or
3. I'm just really busy...school DOES start this week you know..
haha.

Right now I am currently in a good mood, because I quit dieting today.
I was having a really bad day and at about 5 o'clock..I couldn't take it anymore...so I got some food in my stomach to help change my mood..

Thank Heaven for wonderful parents.
They make me feel SOO much better when I have my emotional breakdowns...

NOW,
on to another 3 months of dieting...

P.S.

I took that birthmom to the Airport today.

She flew back home and there is a 99.9% chance I will never see her again.

I have come to love that girl.

It's hard for me to see HER leave...

I think that may have been a reason for my emotions today...

I think that is going to be one of the hardest things about this job.

Sometimes...

It's hard to put how I feel in
words.

so many emotions and feelings..yet so
little words that can express any of them.

Well...

I guess I forgot to mention this...

but I am no longer going back to Utah State.

LONG story and you don't want to hear it.

trust me.

SO I'm going to Salt Lake Community College instead.

because of this I am a little sad.

My best friend Keara is going to China along with Chelsey.

My other best friend Terri is married.

Brittany, Mandy, Megan, Elicia and all of the rest of my friends are up at Logan.

This is really not the best thing ever.

I've been having a really hard time with this.

Especially with Keara leaving.

Thank heaven for Skype.

I haven't really posted very much lately because I don't want to be a horrible pessimist all of the time when I blog and I don't have much good to say.

So sorry about that!

My Case Manager job is going well..so that's good.

To my friends...

Friday is the last day of Spring Semester 2009 here at Utah State University.

Although I'm incredibely stressed about finals this
week,

and am SO excited to be done with school for a few
months,

I can't help but feel a little sad to leave my friends.

After I leave on Friday,

we will no longer ALL be roomates together.

So I decided to take a moment to thank all of my roomates for such an awesome semester.

Elicia

I'm gonna miss living with you! I feel like we connected super well. I'll miss going grocery shopping together and making "split meals" between the two of us if we couldn't decide exactly what we wanted to eat that day. I'm going to miss your laugh, and most definitely playing jokes on you. Remember how you tried to play that joke on me with my mattress and then started freaking out about how I would react when I came home in a horrible mood that day? Remember how I didn't even NOTICE something was wrong with my matteress until we were sitting in my room on my bed for a good 10 minutes? Remember how you then felt so bad for doing it that you fixed it all by yourself? Thank you for always going out of your way too see how I'm doing almost everyday and Thank you for always being willing to just "talk" when I wanted to vent, or just to tell you an awesome story. I'm going to miss you waking me up every tuesday and thursday morning to make sure that I was going to class. I am ever so greatful that you generously got out of bed and drove me to class on the mornings I was running late and couldn't catch the bus in time. I love you Elicia!!

Maren

You are one of the NICESET people I know. I have never met someone that is so genuinely nice to everyone she comes in contact with. You get a long with all types of people and I admire you for that! You were definitely the peacemaker of the apartment and I will FOREVER appreciate that. Thank you for dealing with me as a roomate when I always went to bed way later than you. you SAY that I never woke you up...but I secretly think that I did and you were just trying to be nice like always. I am going to miss hearing you talking in your sleep every night. It gave me a good laugh everytime. One of the things I will always remember about you is the time Megan Bell and I found out that you paid for the persons drink behind you in a drive through because they honked at you and you thought "oh they must be having a bad day." Let me just say that I don't know ANYONE that would react that way. you really do love everyone and it doesn't matter if they are rude to you or not. I'm going to miss talking about the absolutely CRAZY things you learned in school, and more importantly the "random facts" you would always just say out of the blue. Thank you for being such a great example to me. You are the sweetest person I have ever met. I love you Maren!

Megan

You are an incredibely hard worker. I admire how dedicated you are at something. I really admire how you never just give up with anything and succeed 100% at everything you do. I remember calling you when I wanted to come check out the apartment because I had just found a place to live and you were so nice. From that moment I knew that I was going to have the best roomates ever. I'm going to miss the crazy and random dance parties we had together all of the time. I'm going to miss watching you dance to music everytime it came on. Know that that songs womanizer & love story will forever make me think of you whenever I hear them. Thank you for always letting me steal your envelopes, or use something of yours because like always I would forget to buy them! Thank you for always setting the example in the house. You really were the example of hard work and dedication. Thank you for always pushing me to go a little further at the gym and for always telling me how "good" I looked or for telling me that you think I'm losing weight. It meant more to me than I let on! You're awesome Megan and you will be an INCREDIBLE Elementary School teacher. I love you incredibely!!

Mandy

You Rock my world! I'm going to miss goofing off with you all of the time. I love how you always talk about how you "hate facebook", yet are on it way more than you like to admit. I love how you worked at curves, but always casually talked about how much you hated it. I'm going to miss the nightmare stories you always had about the mean people there. I am going to miss how whenever I would come home, and walk into the kitchen with you there you would say "Andee! I'm so happy it's you!" or how whenever I would leave to go somewhere, you would say "Bye Andee, MISS YOU ALREADY" it always made my day and never failed to make me smile. Your personality has seriously rubbed of on me. I find myself talking just like you, and then laughing after I do it. (it's really only because I've always wanted to be a punk rock princess like you) Thank you for making this semester an adventure for me. I will never forget that night that we went to the illusionist. You were so upset and to this day whenever you see or hear about "Mike Super" you talk about how much you hate him because you didn't know how he did the things he did. I love you Mandy and I MISS YOU ALREADY!

and although she isn't technically our roomate, I consider her one..

Megan Bell (This is the only picture I dared put up because you hate every picture of you.)

I don't know how I lived life without you before. I seriously have never met someone that has made me laugh to the point of tears every day without fail! Thank you for always joking around and making the mood 'light' when it was quite intense in the apartment. Thank you for always making me feel really cool about my car whenever you got in it (it's like it was your first time ever seeing a VW jetta everytime you saw it). I'm going to miss hearing your jokes every day. Within the first few weeks that I met you I started calling you the "laugh of my life" because it's true! I'm going to miss laughing that hard every day. I'm going to miss watching American Idol with you and hearing you laugh when someone would say something stupid. I love how whenever you would leave the apartment (even for 5 minutes) you would go stand by the door, turn around and say, "well, it was nice meeting you all" like it was the first time we had ever met each other in our lives. I love how you always laugh at my jokes. It made me feel super loved when without fail, I would say something, and you would crack up hysterically (while criticizing me at the same time but that's beside the point). I don't know what I'm going to do without you making me laugh every day this summer. Until Next semester Megan, "It was nice meeting you!"

and just a few more memories:

Megan Kings Birthday

All nighters. (those of which I never survived and ended up going to sleep every time)

True Aggie night! (right before we left)


I love you all! thanks for such a great semester!!!

Jamba time.

So to celebrate this FANTASTIC weather we have had the past couple of days, my roomie Elicia and I have done EVERYTHING we possibly can to take advantage of it.

on Monday,
Unfortunately we had to enjoy it ourselves because both of us had opposite schedules that day.


So,
I sat out the porch and wrote the three wonderful missionary friends I have that are currently on missions. I did get quite an awesome tan in the process. I am sad to say that because of my classes, that was the only time I got to enjoy it that day.


On Tuesday,
Elicia and I sat out in front of the Library on campus soaking up the sun in between classes.
It was awesome, and we both got a pretty good tan.


On Wednesday,
we had BOTH planned on sitting on campus at the quad and getting a tan but it didn't really work out that way....stupid schedules!!

But I did sit out there with my writing class for the whole class period. we all wrote poems and were sharing them with the class while basking in the sun.


(can I just say that it would have been an extremely more enjoyable experience if, a SPIDER hadn't ruined it! It crawled on my leg and then when I flicked it off, it kept crawling back to me! I was like scooting further and further away until this kid Alex that I was sitting next to grabbed it and smooshed it with his hand. (haha gross!!) but I was very grateful for him..)


Anyway, after all of my classes I had an appointment with my class advisor. I was PLANNING on meeting Elicia back at the quad afterwards. She had gone and purchased some DELICIOUS Jamba Juice that we could enjoy as well. Unfortunately, my appointment went way longer than planned. So by the time I got out, Elicia had to go to her next class!!


fortunately,
we did have time to take a couple of pictures while I walked her to class...haha



haha. attractive...



so everytime I walk past this beautiful "work of art" I wonder what the heck it's supposed to be...


So, Elicia and I came to the conclusion they were fries.
(please disregard my fat in this picture. you would think the baby fat would be gone by now...but it most definitely is NOT..I AM working on it though..hence MY LIST)

Random?
I think so...

A haunting statistic

For my writing class, we have an assignment.

It's a pretty huge assignment,

But I have been super excited about it.
we have to do a presentation on something that we are passionate about.

You all probably guessed what I'm doing it on....

that's right.
ADOPTION.
of course.
I am mainly focusing on open adoptions.

I have been working on this assignment more than any assignment that I currently have
(probably not the best idea..but this is my favorite class)

However,
I have been overcome with more emotion than I expected I would while working on it.

I am currently sitting here
in the library,
surrounded by a number of books that I found on open adoptions.

I love open adoptions.
I LOVE THEM
It has helped me heal in ways I never thought possible.

But that's not the point of this post.

while researching,
I have came across one particular fact that haunts me to the core
Here it is:

"In the United States, voluntary placement of children as a remedy for unplanned pregnancy has changed since the landmark Roe v Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, prior to the 1970's, approximately 9% of all never-married women (and 19% of white never-married women) experiencing unplanned pregnancies placed their babies for adoption.

BUT,

since the 1973 Supreme Court decision [aka, when abortion became legalized] and because of changing societal attitudes about the legitimacy of single parenthood into the 1980's, fewer than 2% of unplanned pregnancies result in placing the child for adoption.."


that statistic upset me to the point where I had to stop reading and take a break due to the many tears in my eyes and the complete anger and disgust I feel towards abortion.

Lately,
I feel like everywhere I go, I am reminded of what a horrible disgusting thing abortion is.
I'm reminded of those innocent little children that are victims of this horrible selfish act.

Does anyone else find this statistic disturbing???

We've been robbed!

So today after class, I came home and was watching tv with my roomie Maren,

when all of the sudden we see this older man walk up to our door.

Confused, Maren walks up to answer it...

....seconds go by when Maren walks in with this man and says:

"Hey Andee, wanna help me take everything out of the drawers?"

well my first reaction was.. "uh..no..."

but unfortunately I didn't have a choice.

The man then proceeds to walk into our kitchen and starts taking off all of our cupboards!!

Now, I didn't want to be rude or anything but...

WHAT THE HECK!?!

I'm pretty sure I would like to be informed BEFORE some crazy old guy comes banging down our door and taking all of our cupboards and drawers! haha

So, I guess the old farm "staff" decided that they needed to "refurbish" all of the cupboards and drawers.

They sent everyone an email about it at the BEGINNING of the semester

(that of which I did not receive)

I was quite embarrassed because our house is not what you call "clean" right now.

(they took them from our bathrooms too)

So now,

Maren and I are trying to think of a story to tell the others when they come home..

we've thought of maybe saying we've been robbed,

or

we got in a fight and broke all of the cupboards and drawers,

or

just disappearing so they can come home and be confused until they find us,

and THEN make up a funny story.....

ALSO:

IMPORTANT REMINDER....

Please remember to send out your red envelopes for the

RED ENVELOPE PROJECT

tomorrow.

It's a matter of life or death.

The lucky oven mitt

So yesterday I almost burned our apartment down...twice.

The first time was during lunch.

I was making this cheddar broccoli macaroni pasta.

I was home all by myself,

and was watching a video on my computer,

while stirring the pasta.

That was when I heard the sound of a fire starting.

I looked down, just in time to see the flames underneath the pan.

I screamed...really loud,

turned off the stove,

took the pan off and started blowing on it.

(I never knew I would react that way...you would think I would hit it with a towel or something)

Well,

Eventually it died down

Just in time for Mandy to walk in and see the smoke.

It was quite embarassing, but the food ended up turning out..

Mandy even ate some!

Then for dinner I decided I would try to make chicken cordon bleu.

I have never made it before,

and was quite nervous.

SO,

I was taking it out of the oven to see if it was done

when Megan walked in.

I concluded that the chicken was not yet done and put it back in the oven while saying to Megan "Dude, I don't know how long to cook this chicken. I'm totally guessing."

I closed the oven door and threw the oven mitt on the stove as Megan walked over to talk to me.

All of the sudden we both see smoke.

I look over to see that the oven mitt is smoking and catching on fire!

I had left the stove on when cooking the outside of the chicken and forgot to turn it off!

I grab the mitt,

and again,

blow on it.

Megan bursts into laughter, grabs the oven mitt, and puts it outside as I turn on the fan and open all the windows for the second time that day.

That night, I brought the oven mitt back inside.

This is what it looked like,

and what it will always look like.

Luckily the Chicken Cordon Bleu turned out...pretty well...

Fast Forward to now.

It's 4 in the morning and I'm up with Mandy and her Boyfriend Levi.

Levi is doing Mandys homework, and Mandy is laying on the floor talking to us.

We are talking about how stupid boys are..

funny that Levi is here...and AGREEING with us.

Sorry my posts are so random lately.

I just can't help sharing these completely crazy and embarassing stories.

Wisdom, paper, and a sore behind

So yesterday my roommate Megan had this brilliant idea that we should go to a spinning class instead of to the gym like normal.

I liked the idea because I've been on bikes before and loved it,

and it sounded pretty simple......

So we walked there,

I realized that I forgot a water bottle,

and

we sat on the bikes while the instructor introduced herself.

As I started pedaling I realized that my seat was extremely uncomfortable.

about 15 minutes into the class, I thought I was going to DIE.

My back side hurt SO bad that I could barely move.

By the end of the class...I thought I was dead.

I never thought riding a bike would be

1 - so hard,

and

2 - so painful!

why in the world would someone make a machine that you SIT on have such an uncomfortable seat!?

I swear I have like 10 bruises.

I'm definitely paying for it now.

Ever had a bruised butt??

haha

try sitting down!

It's really a lot of fun.

So I woke up this morning to a phone call.

My mom signed me up with Gene Brown Research to get my wisdom teeth out.

Well,

they had a cancellation and wanted to know if I could come in on Tuesday.

SCARY!!

But I get paid for it.

So that always WONDERFUL.

WELL,

I have a paper due in 2 hours.

I should probably start working on it.

Some of the coolest people.

This is my Roomate Mandy

Yes, Mandy I AM using this picture.

I know, this is a COMPLETELY Random post,

but she is pretty much really awesome.

I got L U C K Y with my roomates.

I went up to school all by myself, and met all of my roomates when I moved in.

They are AWESOME.

I sometimes don't think I will ever stop laughing when Mandy and I are together.

Mandy and Eric.

no. They're not dating.

I have decided though, that if by some miracle I ever DO get married.

I am going to get a picture like this for my announcement.

ha.

This is Megan. she's not technically my roomate,

but she is at my apartment more than she is at her own,

so she pretty much is.

I DON'T stop laughing when she is around. her nickname is "laugh of my life" because I really don't stop. she is SO funny. seriously. You would LOVE her.

We also recently just learned that we are distantly related..by marriage.

My awesome Aunt MaryJane's husbands, cousin..is Megans dad.

Crazy right?

I'm only touching her leg in this picture,

because she hates it when people touch her leg.

lol..in case you were wondering.

************

I would also like to take this moment to also thank my aunt Natalie.

She ALSO had me babysit her crazily perfect kids on Friday night,

and paid me a ridiculously lot of money.

Why are people SOOOO aweosme??

I do not know.

Thanks Jimmy and Natalie!!

I love you!

What the???

So I was researching on my professor who I currently discovered some not so good news about.

you can find THAT news HERE

As I was researching, I came across THIS
and I have to say I did not expect my name to come up.

But it did.

Let's just say......

I never gave that person permission.


They did say that I have a picture of the cutest baby they've ever seen on my blog,
which is probably the reason I'm not super angry....
ha.

Mr. Peterson...

This week I went to my first class on Monday.

Creative Arts.
My teacher (Dr. Peterson is what he likes to call himself) was not there, and there was a lady there giving out surveys for us to take.

She said no one had to take it and we could leave if we wanted to, but that she would appreciate it if we did for some kind of study or something.

Well,

I stayed, because I had nothing better to do and I had another class afterwards.

After all my classes that day, I was waiting to get on the bus when Lance came up to me and started talking about how he read something about our creative arts teacher in the newspaper. I wasn't sure if I believed him because the things he was saying were pretty ridiculous.

So I decided to check it out for myself.
Here is what I found:

USU names lewdness suspect
By Matthew K. Jensen and Kim Burgess
Published:
Saturday, February 28, 2009 11:41 PM CST
The Utah State University police department on Friday released the name of the professor who was issued a citation for misdemeanor lewdness following an investigation of a sexual act in a school steam room.Tom C. Peterson, a faculty member in Agriculture Systems Technology Education and the former head of the Interior Design program, is listed as one of the people involved in the incident. The Herald Journal received the information Friday afternoon by filing a Government Records Access Management Act (GRAMA) request with the school. Police had earlier declined to release Peterson’s name, citing direction from the university’s legal counsel.Police officials are still searching for a second man suspected in the case, which began at 6 p.m. Tuesday evening when a patron of the school’s Health, Physical Education and Recreation facility walked into the building’s steam room and allegedly saw two people engaged in a sexual act.The witness reported the incident to HPER staff, who called police. They issued a citation of class-B misdemeanor lewdness to Peterson on Wednesday after interviewing him. The witness also spoke to police, telling them he believed Peterson was one of the men in the steam room.

According to police documents, Peterson is scheduled to appear before a judge Tuesday.Law enforcement declined to give further description of the alleged lewd act, saying the investigation is ongoing.The professor did not return calls made by The Herald Journal on Friday. Later, USU spokesperson John DeVilbiss said Peterson did not wish to comment about the case.“We are saddened and concerned by what has been alleged,” DeVilbiss said.He added that the university is “not at a stage to take any disciplinary action” toward Peterson, adding that administrators will “allow for due process and let this work through the judicial system before we initiate any procedures.”Peterson is a long-standing USU faculty member who became an assistant professor in design and merchandising in 1976. Registration records show that this semester he is teaching a creative arts class with 419 students enrolled.

How sick is this?
This guy is married.

What is this world coming to?

Anyway,
I thought I would share because I just can't believe it.

This may not be a big deal to most of you, but it is to me because I'm not sure what is going to happen to my class now.

Plus, I just talked to this guy on Friday.
I can't believe things like this really happen.

I can almost see summer time!!

The weather here on Friday was to die for!

It was so warm,

that we drove with my windows down and the sunroof open!

OH SUMMER HERE YOU COME!!!!

Unfortunately, we did not know that it was going to be such great weather, so Elicia was wearing a hoodie!

Luckily I only had a quarter sleeved shirt on. ;)

but LOOK at this picture!

We had to SQUINT because the sun was so bright.

YAY!!

Revenge is sweet!

So I finally got Elicia back for the little prank she played on me a few weeks ago. Isn't the video awesome?
(I was sick, so my voice sounds worse than normal)
I stole her keys one night (without her noticing) and when she went to bed I put them in the Jello.

Mandy was there to watch, and was quite proud of me :D So we took pictures.

& of coures we needed pictures with Elicia when she found it...

********

ALSO!:::::

Today is my little sister Kaitlyn's birthday. I cannot believe she is 14!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE SISTER!!

Tired

This is how I feel. (Thanks for your help Kim)

I'm tired.

Of a lot of things.

mostly the fact the one particular roomate of mine ALWAYS uses my food.

most of you know that I DO NOT have a job,

and that I'm literally living off of nickels and dimes.

So when someone thinks that what's mine is theirs...

I don't exactly appreciate it.

I love all my roomates.

But when they use my stuff,

I get a little annoyed.

There are times when I'm making food, and there is a lot of it, so yes I'm going to offer them some.

But that DOESN'T mean I am giving an open invitation for anyone to use my food whenever they please.

I am living on a tight budget.

I currently am out of milk.

and almost out of cheese.

I would prefer to NOT be out of anything else in the near future.

That is all.
