I'm not listening to any music... so I don't know what to name this.

So the last few days of school have been really tough. I had a lot of tests, observations, group projects, as well as tutoring sessions. Long days on campus. I am still alive which is good, and hopefully life will die down a bit.
Just one of my many spectacular pranks, this kid tried to declare open war on us so we stole his mattress... over night. And his left shoes. He insisted we return it or he would "get us back 10X worse." (he hasn't... all talk no action). So, we decided to saran wrap his mattress to the pole outside his apartment. Basically, we're geniuses.



 The days of my faux hawk are coming to an end. I am a little bit sad about this, it fits my personality quite well. But alas, I must move on and get a grown up hair cut.                                       
 We decorated our apartment for Halloween! Our apt complex is having a door decorating contest, so we did ours like a mummy.So then, we decided the inside needs to be as festive as the outside, so we kept decorating.  

So I think we all know that I am a kid, and below is further evidence. We had to unroll the streamers so they could fit around the door. So we had long rolls of streamer. Ere go, I run down the hallway with them.... multiple times. It was fantastic. 
THINGS THAT MAKE MOLLY HAPPY :]

• Face timing Brandi who is back in the motherland!

• Being scared out of my wits at the Haunted Mill with Ian,Tori, and Cooper. One of the better Saturday nights I've had in awhile:)

• New friends! Jacob and Ryan sat and talked to me so I wouldn't be lonely when I was accidentally locked out of my apt. And then we went long boarding(I didn't even biff it this time!)
• Seeing my now-married roommates and catching up at Cocoa Bean
• G's Dairy- best ice cream in all of Rexburg.

• I passed my observation! I am basically done with my block Practicum class, just one more paper then 2 less credits to worry about

• Watching Little Mermaid with the roommates

• I will forever and always be a Summer girl, but Fall is growing on me

Adventure exists anytime we tiptoe across the line between our comfort zones and the unknown. It is not defined by the activity we are doing or the place we are in. It is not something that happens out there. It burns inside each of us every time we take that leap."

Life is pretty freaking fantastic :]


- This morning in my practicum, my cooperating teacher told me I was a natural, and I was ready to have my own classroom. It made me so happy because while I still have a little while, I am actually terrified of having my own classroom. But I was reminded today that I am where I need to be. I'm ready to do this!
- I'm going to Texas in January to see my sister. Six Flags, fantastic shopping, and sunny weather: can't wait! 


- Then I am going to China. Finally! I get to go after all. I can't express in words how excited I am. I just had this feeling that if I didn't go I would regret it for the rest of my life.

Great Wall

Li River

The Leshan Giant Buddha, Chengdu, China

Shangai

Just a taste of what I will be experiencing :] 

Taking big leaps might be scary, but so worth it!

It's a shame, we don't know how much we have. We're scared of what we do not know

Currently listening to: "What are you so scared of?" by Tonight Alive

                        Cheers to making important life decisions!

Best Day Ever

So this is extremely late because I am always so lazy to pull my cord out and actually download all my pictures.

Buuuut this summer I went on an adventure. I went to Warped Tour. Not in Utah, which would have been the logical choice. No, I went to Minnesota. Shakopee to be exact.

I drove from Rexburg to Williston N. Dakota where I met up with Trevor and Ethan. Then they drove the rest of the way.

My assessment of Montana after driving through it for several hundred miles:

• Eons of fishing signs
• More road kill then I have ever seen in my life
• Turning your lights on at sunset seem to be optional
• Lots of camping places
• I saw my first legit cornfield
• You can drive as fast as you want
• They do not need any 'talking on the phone while driving' laws because if you don't pull over you will lose reception anyways.

  Saturday we went to Valley Fair which is an amazing amusement park. A lot like Silverwood, but bigger. And better I think. There was a lot of roller coaster options. And their "log ride" got me absolutely drenched, which was fantastic since it was so bleeding hot outside.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  After Valley Fair we were all sufficiently tired and dehydrated so we went to dinner at Olive Garden. It was delicious! 
  
  

  

  This sign made me giggle. Even if they are just talkinga bout OJ

  We walk into Warped and who is the first person we see? We Came as Romans selling their albums that didn't come out for another 2 days! I didn't have my camera out yet, but I did get them to sign my album cover! Seriously, best moment of the whole day. There they are, just trying to sell their music like any musician when they are actually really famous. It was cool to see them all humble.
  
  Right before the most epic mosh pit ever. And I was only in it for about 3 minutes. Then I had something spill in my backpack and didn't want it to spill all over my electronics so I bolted for the outside. The musicians just stare at the crowd, rotates their fingers in a circle and all hell breaks loose.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  This was only one of the areas for porta potties. Yeah, I held it all day. I have a gift. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

I got to the very front of Sleeping With Sirens, it was fantastic. I definitely got lost from Ethan and Trevor three times (I am fairly certain they were annoyed.)

Kellin from Sleeping With Sirens said: " Make a difference in this world. Do something with your life. It doesn't matter where you came from, its what you are doing from now on."

  My all time most favoritest band ever. Yes, they are fantastic live :]
  
  
  
  Glorious isn't it? Nothing but music all day long. 
  
  
  
   The last concert we went to was I See Stars. They opened with End of the World Party which was fantastic. They actually started a mud fight which was fun until idiots starting throwing it on stage which was ridiculously stupid. The band had to stop half way through a song to tell us the equipment was too expensive and they would have to get off stage if the crowd didn't stop throwing the mud.
  
  
  

After a day of moshing in the mud, my feet are both dirty and tired. 

Detoxing myself from Monsters was one of the more horrific things I have done in my life

Ethan is probably one of the most hilarious people I have ever met in my whole life. Just a few things that he said on our 10 hour journey to Minnesota:

• As he's driving across the road "I'm sorry guys, I just cant straighten my hair and stay on the right side of the road. They are two contradictory movements.."
• "If my chest hair could talk, it would be screaming." It was so hot!
• "The ghost is being good to you... " as Ethan withdraws his feet from the open window. 

I never have any desire to crowd surf. I saw too many dropped and got kicked in the head several times from other people. 

The whole drive home my seat belt killed my sunburn, even though I wore tons of sunscreen.

After a day of sweating, moshing and listening to great music, we get back into the car for another 10 hours. 

Was this trip reckless of me? Yes. Was it worth it? YES.

THINGS THAT MAKE MOLLY HAPPY :]

Night time Adventures in Idaho

Last night I went to a bonfire out at a secret location. This location unfortunately must be kept a secret so this awesome hiking place may be kept a secret. All I can say is its about 25 min away from Rexburg. The fire was pretty great.  Standing 10 ft away you still felt like your face was

Stuart talked like a G for the first hour of the evening. This was hilarious because he is from Arkansas.


We didn't know too many other people at the bonfire so we decided to go on an adventure. We got into Kasey's car and drove. When we decided we couldn't drive any further without getting stuck we got out and started hiking. Ci-Ci was such a sport, she was scared the whole time but she kept going. We hiked a ways until we got to the waterfall. It was beautiful and that was in the dark. So we are going to go back in the light so we can actually appreciate the whole thing and not be absolutely terrified we are going to run into bears.

This was the best picture we took at the waterfall... Don't judge;)

"Does anyone know where we are? Like, we're still in Idaho right?"
"No Ci-Ci, we haven't hit Wyoming. Yet."

The hike back was a beast. My calves were on fire. But it was so much fun!

THINGS THAT MAKE MOLLY HAPPY :]
