weekend in provo

this past weekend i went to provo to spend time with haley. it was a long awaited trip. we have been trying to find a weekend where i can go up there to see her but either one of us is busy or we're fighting. in a way, we're like sisters. anywho.
i drive up there friday evening, the sun is setting and i have never driven up to provo before, it wasnt too bad. UTAH DRIVERS ARE TERRIBLE. i just had to say it. i am a person who likes to go the speed limit so i can maintain my absolutely clean record...no speeding tickets or even being pulled over. the speed limit in utah is 75, but utah drivers seem to always be in a hurry as they go at least 10 over. i settled for a nice 80, though when i was singing out loud to a song i noticed that my speed would get to 85-90 on accident. ohh what happens when my mind isnt on the road, though it rarely is. driving is quite boring.
i get to provo around 8ish, and haley is waiting for me the parking lot, boy its much colder in provo than in cedar. luckily, i prepared for the weather. 18 years of living in mn has trained me well. we go to her dorm, and she has a hallmate there and shes watching a knight's tale. highly entertaining movie and heath ledger will always be a pennical of hottness.
i was also starving so after the movie we go down to the vending machines. i havent seen such a variety of food in a very very long time. an even cooler part of it was that her card, normally one would assume its just for the cafeteria, but alas, it also works for the vending machines and various stores across campus. i got a lunchable, icecream cookie sandwich, and chocolate milk :)
haley and i shared her bed, it was most uncomfortable at first but the second night wasnt as bad, prolly cuz we stayed up till past four just talking and i was soooo tired that i zonked out. oh i love being able to touch my head to the pillow and within five minutes im out.
on saturday we got up at 11. this is very very very very impressive for me, for i do not usually get up on saturdays till 2. i took a shower, it was interesting. though, it wasnt too terrible. my only complaint is that they only had curtains and there wasnt much room to shave legs so i kept trying to do it quickly but the water would wash the soap off, up down up down, i eventually gave up and did just the razor and water. owell.
then we went to the cannon, byu's cafeteria, like 2 something for breakfast 3 something for lunch and like 4-5 something for dinner. the food was really good, it wasnt just like fake nasty food that normal cafeterias serve, it was real food. though that wouldnt matter to dad, he would just be in heaven that its an all you can eat for every meal.
after lunch we walked around campus, oh i love it there. the feeling i had was so peaceful and calming. it was soooo nice to be out of cedar and be genuinely happy. we went to the bookstore and looked at a twilight movie book thing, ohh im excited. and then she showed me rape hill though there has only been on reported rape/attack on that hill. whereas SUU has a reported 7 rapes a semester. we already lost a girl in september. though most of the rapes on this campus, we're told, is because of parties and such, not just a girl wandering around a night, though thats what happened to the girl in september. aaaaanywho. it made me really want to go to byu all over again. i'd so be going there if i got in last time, and i doubt i'll make it in this time either. i added byu and usu to my list of applications for a transfer.
hmmm we saw ducks, in a duck pond. i dont like birds...they freak me out.
we tried to see the dark knight at the dollar theater, but it was sold out all day since the day before. its a brilliant movie.
oh on saturday we watched two movies, save the last dance and there and back? or something its with demi moore, rosie odonnel, christina ricci, you know, the story of young friends and they meet again when they are boring adults. you know.

now now now on sunday, we went to haleys ward. they actually have boys in their ward. and all their meetings were in classrooms haha. it was kinda cool. i took a nap while she did hw. then we went ot dinner and then i went back to dreadful cedar. the way back took longer unfortunately. ihad to stop for gas, 2.39 when in cedar is 1.89!!!! AHSFLSKJFLSDKFJSDLFJSDLFKjs
LAME LAME LAME stupid gas stations in the middle of no where taking advantage of the fact that they are the only gas stations for miles! wheres human decency?
oh and my cd player decided to be stupid and lame and wouldnt release the cd. so at the gas station i took the plastic part out and just stuck my hand in the hole and took the cd out myself. then put the plastic thing back on and put another cd in and it worked just fine.
i think the trip to provo and back takes about a tank and two quarters. either its the high speeds, or im not doing something right or the tank is small idk.
anywho. im going to the midnight showing of twilight with emily who lives across the hall! yayayay! i thought i wasnt going cuz i only had one ticket but didnt want to go alone and turns out emily already had one for the same theater! :) :) :) yay! im excited. emily is really cool, shes funny, i like her. shes normal. haha.
one week till im home :)
