Move in Day is TOMORROW!

So, my ever exciting move in day is tomorrow. It took me over 4 hours to pack all my clothes and stuff together and load it in my car. But that isn't a very amusing description of how the packing went.

It was like Tetris. I literally had to configure my car into one of the biggest Tetris games every played and load my entire pile of clothes, shoes (I have four pairs of boots that I've bought for winter and they're in pretty big boxes. I'm psyched to wear them because they are SO GORGEOUS.) school stuff and textbooks, and everything in between. I'm too afraid to open my truck for fear that my stuff will come flying out in my face like a crazy lady throwing cats at you, ya know?

The cool thing about packing my stuff was I found clothes I didn't even know I had until I discovered them in the back of my closet. It's how I found my "A Skylit Drive" concert T-shirt that Casey bought for me after like 2 weeks of dating when I couldn't go to the concert (STUPID WORK!!! Alesana, ASD, and another great band were playing and I could have gone!! But NO. >:( and surprised me with it. That was also the night that my roommate at the time, my velociraptor twin, had her icky boyfriend break up with her. It was a memorable night, in a good way and a bad way.

Anyhoo, I'm pretty psyched to move in even though I'll be in Hillside for only a semester. Some people think I shouldn't even bring that much stuff cause it's only for four months, but when you're looking at living in Logan year round and not trying to go back home for more clothes, ya tend to pack EVERYTHING. (Like my knee high socks. Why would I need them? Why, for the Nerds, Jocks, and Catholic Girl parties that the fraternities hold, of course!!)

Btw, my Spoon Me was AMAZING. I am so addicted to that place, that I have to restrain myself from going everyday. I guess it'll just have to be a once a month kinda treat for me :(

I mooshed my thumb

So, I woke up today after like my fourth consecutive night of dreams and nightmares and realized, "It's FRIDAY!!" I got really excited after that. It was like... 10:20ish when I woke up. Got really hungry for some good ol' fashioned Fruity Pebbles.

There weren't really very many plans today. I thought I'd clean my room and do some laundry and start getting ready to pack for college (Move in day: TUESDAAAAAYYYYY!!!!) So I went out to the ma kitchen to get some grub in my tummy, and the door bell rings.

It's my Grandparents Briscoe. We weren't expecting them till like 3 this afternoon. At this point, it's 10:30. I'm wearing my jammies and I haven't even poured myself my fruity pebbles yet.

Not cool. DO NOT separate ARIEL from her Fruity Pebbles or any other gloriously sugar breakfast cereal (To become Ariel's new friend, please send her a box of Fruity Pebbles, Golden Grahams, Cap'n Crunch or something else super fantastic. Kthanx bai).

So, now we get to entertain my Grandparents Briscoe when I realize, "Ariel, don't you have an appointment to meet your new el bosso?" Why yes. Yes I did. At 2 pm to be exact.

So I hightailed my way outta my household and made my way to Sardine Canyon. For any native Utah-an, the only radio stations available in the canyon are classical music or some good ol' Bible thumpers. I slipped on my sunglasses and put my secret obsession CD (also known as my Jesse McCartney CD. His new one, not his old one.) and I rocked out hardcore.

I met my awesome oppossum boss Michael, and I got to see the inside of new store. Before he arrived though, I wandered on in the store (he told me it was chill, it's not like I broke in or anything) and that is when I MOOSHED my thumb. I hurt SO bad and then one of the workers came in and saw me so I couldn't do the "Owie" dance or scream or anything.

Michael is a way chill guy! We went over some new ideas and things he had for the store and I came away psyched for the new store to open and for me to take my place as assistant manager. The store is a wee bit smallish, and with 4 girls up front, me, and Michael running around, it'll feel like we are stepping on each others toes constantly. Which will more than likely be very true for me as I am tres clumsy.

So that was my day. It wasn't too exciting, unless you count the 3 times I have driven in Sardine Canyon in the past 2 days where semi drivers get all up in my business when I'm driving and freak me out!!! GAAAHHH!!!! Pet peeve major: it makes me feel like I'm about to DIE a horrible death with much mooshing and killing. Seriously!! This guy was literally maybe 4 feet from my car, and I'm doing 68 in a 60 zone and I'm driving as fast as I can to get away from this semi but noooooo! He has to be all up in my business!!! If he had one of those bumper stickers that said, "How's my driving?", I would have called in in a heartbeat.

But the highlight of my day is what is to come this evening.

Spoon Me. I LOVE Spoon Me even though technically they are my competitors, but I can NOT get enough of their Original Frozen Yogurt with fresh pineapple bits and lil' cheesecake bites. It so delish and just refreshing! (And what's cool about them is they are friendly to environment, so their cups and spoons are biodegradable. That's cool and all, but it's the SPOONS that matter. Their spoons are SO COOL. I recommend everyone going to Spoon Me just to get a spoon. I'll try to get a picture of it tomorrow just so ya'll can see what I mean.)

So my plan is to get a big ol' fat cup of Spoon Me custard and fresh pineapple bits and watch a nerdy movie to the extreme. What movie? I have no idea. I'm kinda feeling Return of the King Part 2. :)

Betsy Bee Day

So, today was the FIRST day in almost two years to see another face from Missouri (my long time friend Amanda Sipe doesn't count cuz she's cool like that). It was my most adorable friend, Betsy Bee and the plan was to see her at USU and give her my version of a mini tour on campus.

It started out as a rainy day, so my first thought was "BLUrgh. This is gonna suck." But it didn't!! The rain cleared up the minute I hit Sardine Canyon, even though I got stuck behind the most annoying lil' grandma who couldn't see 3 feet above the steering wheel for a good portion of the canyon.

I hit the mall to meet up with my dearest Betsy a good 15 minutes late (due to rain and grandma) and saw her most beautiful-ness at the center of the mall. It was like a moment from a movie. Flowers fell from the air. A choir of angels sang. Slow motion occurred. And the entire time we hugged, Betsy was eyein' the cutie pie working the cell phone accessory store. ;)

We then made our way towards our beautiful little campus. I wish I had a working camera so I could have showed you the absolute BEAUTY the campus was in due to rainy weather. It was green, green, GREEN. I'm tellin' ya, the Jolly Green Giant would have been envious of the campus.

I showed her my version of the awesome tour that our great A-Team (the awesome kids who give tours to noobies that are interested in attending our wonderful University) give to potential future students and showed her the awesomeness of our bookstore. I kept myself busy shopping for my textbooks while Miss Betsy was exploring the textbook half of the bookstore.

Our bookstore is actually split in half, with the textbooks and school supplies and what not kept on one side of the hallway that goes down the center of our TSC (Taggart Student Center) and the other half of the bookstore contains the clothing line featuring our school colors and our awesome 'A' and the other stuff that didn't fit into the first part of the bookstore.

I also showed her the awesome 'A' where little boy Aggie's and little girl Aggiette's become TRUE AGGIES (like myself :] ) and it was decided that Miss Betsy Bee could potentially become a cute lil TA!

I think the funniest part is when I showed Betsy where she would be staying for her first year at USU. We went to her dorm and the door was open but it appeared that no RA's or anybody were down on the first floor. So we just walked on in and I started to show her the main level of the building when all of the sudden, we heard a girl sneeze. Betsy and I did a O.O face and we BOOKED it outta there like we had skunk after us!! It was crazy.

The other highlights of the awesome day in Logan was taking Miss Betsy Bee to Aggie Ice Cream. She had a double scoop of Aggie Blue Mint and Cotton Candy. It was the cutest colors of blue and pink, and looked delish (I did my own double scoop of Aggie Blue Mint and Toffee Crunch. SO good. I loved the way the mint and toffee flavors blended together. It was tres yummy for my tummy.)

After inducting my dearest Betsy to the wonders of USU and expressing great love and appreciation for a wonderful day, I departed back to my home and she to hers. I'll be moving on up there soon enough, and she would be moving on down sooner than me.

August 30th is the first day of school, and I can NOT wait. Is that nerdy of me?
