Note to Self

1- Always wear socks from now on (wore slip-ons to school today and it HURT!!)

2- Always keep a hat on me (my ears are going to fall off)

3- Keep tissues with me at all times (icicles formed in my nose, ouch!!)

4- iPhones were NOT made for Idaho. Must use fingerless gloves

I HATE Rexburg, yes it's December so it's obviously getting cold. But Rexburg has redefined the meaning of "cold" "freezing" and "OUCH!" And the worst part of it is that it's not even gotten to the worst part. It's only 15 degrees with wind. Pretty soon it will get down to -20 degrees... with wind. I'm dying! I am literally freezing to death! And another horrible thing is that I feel like such a wuss! There are people who are from Rexburg and Idaho Falls who are used to this kind of weather, this is just the balminess of fall to them. They walk around in just sweatshirts and jeans, on occasion they'll wear their hood up but nothing more! Then in my french class, the guy that sits next to me walks in in his normal attire of a button up shirt, a zip-up hoodie and jeans. Now granted he is from Canada, but I wanted to grab him by his thin cotton collar and shout "Why are you crazy?!"

At least I've come to the realization that I am a Pacific Northwestern. I shall never live in Idaho or Utah after school. I'm sorry those of you that are fellow Idahoans or Utahns, but you're all crazy and your driving sucks...

Christmas Wish List

So my lovely friends and family keep asking me what it is I need for Christmas, but I don't really NEED anything. I think I've gotten to the age where, yeah, getting presents is nice but I'm not really DYING to get anything. So here's a list of things I would like to have. I'm not asking for these things directly, they're either things that would be fun to have in the future, that would make my life easier or that just sounded cool to me at the time. But no matter what I end up getting, I know I'll be thrilled with it.
