I like this song. For some reason I find it inspirational in a makes-me-want-to-punch-dance kind of way. I need inspiration or this interview will kick my butt. Also watch for comedic relief, Kenny and his band sail the colorado river complete with early 90's clothes and haircuts. I miss Full House and Family Matters.

not great, but not too bad either
So things aren't necessarily working out for me just yet, but they are heading there. There are a lot of things happening to push me forward to that ultimate goal. And other things that aren't great but not too bad either.
I've been sick pretty much the whole month of April with this weird throat thing, now it's turned into a full blown congestion problem. I thought I had an ear infection, I don't have insurance. My mom took me to a doctor, my ears are fine, but I'm still super sick.
My parents have been in town for my graduation and to send Jillian off to Jerusalem. My dad got my windshield replaced on my car, which is awesome, now I don't look super ghetto with a large crack through the window.
Lucille (my computer) is not totally dead. When hooked up to an external monitor everything looks fine. And all the programs and files are not damaged. So it's in the shop hopefully being fixed for a reasonable price and everything is backed up on an external hard drive. It will make my life if my computer turns out ok.
I got invited for an interview for a real-life job! (At the local health department). It would be really amazing if things worked out for me. I have to give a ten minute presentation for part of my interview so I'm a little nervous about that, but I used to work there so I know the people who will be interviewing me. I have some work to do on that but I really want to do a good job!! And I hope I'm not still nasty sick by then.
I officially graduated on Thursday and Friday. It was kind of anti-climatic since I've been out of school since December but it was good to walk and do the whole cap and gown thing. I had my moment. I miss BYU a ton, and learning things. I feel like I never use my brain. Still working on becoming a full-fledged adult, working-for-a-living, know-what-to-do-with-the-rest-of-my-life, person but things are coming along. And now, since I can't download my pictures for my computer is in the shop, here are a few of Rachelle's pics from graduation!

M*A*S*H
Read this article and be amazed. This would be the scariest thing ever. I am so glad that there are people out there who are educated and trained well enough to make things like this happen.
(CNN) -- "I think we have a problem."
Lt. Col. Anthony Terreri, reading the CT scans of an injured soldier who'd just arrived at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, realized the shrapnel he saw lodged inside the soldier's skull wasn't really shrapnel at all. It was unexploded ordnance -- a live round of ammunition that could detonate at any time.
The young Afghani soldier had arrived less than an hour before, after an IED had flung shards of metal into his head.
"The internal part of the fragment was not solid metal, but it had a metal exterior," recalled Terreri. "There's an air gap at the end, a formed end at one side and the fragment was elongated."
He looked at a second scan, a side X-ray of the soldier's skull, to confirm his suspicions.
"The projectile was part of the bomb that went off," explained Maj. John Bini, who oversees all trauma care at Bagram. "People will pack just about anything in to these things: rocks, nails, screws, explosives."
Bini and his team immediately summoned an explosive ordnance disposal team to assess how risky it would be to conduct the surgery. The doctors needed to minimize the risk of setting off the ordinance.
They were told not to drop the explosive, prick it with a scalpel or let it be exposed to any electricity.
"We knew that any electrical current possibly could cause detonation."
Bini has been able to find roughly 50 similar cases in the history of modern warfare, but his team at Bagram was prepared. Nonessential personnel were immediately evacuated from the area and all electronic machinery was disconnected from the patient. Everyone else who remained donned flak jackets, including Maj. Jeffrey Rengel, who was manually administering anesthesia.
"We had to turn off all volatile anesthetics because they could increase the magnitude of an explosion," said Rengel, referring to a class of anesthetics that would have been used to calm the patient. Because they are vaporous, the danger would be magnified if there was an explosion and those gases were in the air.
"I resorted to counting the drips in my IV tubing to determine what was being delivered to the patient."
Using a blood pressure cuff, a battery-operated heart rate monitor and some good old-fashioned arithmetic, Rengel monitored the soldier's vital signs while Bini prepared himself to operate.
"The surgeon needed to be someone actually trained on how to do this, what procedures needed to be done. I was the one who knew how," said Bini.
"The Air Force has an emergency surgery course ...[and] I'm the course director."
Despite his training and his confidence, he was apprehensive.
"As I was putting my body armor on and getting ready to walk in to operating room, I was going to tell somebody that if anything happens, tell my wife and children that I love them," said Bini.
"But then I stopped myself. I didn't want to jinx myself," he said. "Surgeons are superstitious people."
The round hadn't penetrated the patient's brain but had caused a significant fracture; portions of his skull were compressed against the outside of his brain.
"I made a wide incision in the scalp down to the skull where I could lift off skin flap could actually see the projectile wedged underneath a flap of bone," Bini said.
Out of fear that using metal tools would detonate the explosive, Bini was forced to abandon his clamps and scalpels.
"I grabbed it with my hands, sort of worked it out, and really pulled it out with my hand."
He handed the shell over to the explosives handlers, who safely removed it from the hospital.
The doctors' skillful handling of the situation has drawn a lot of media attention. But they shrug it off as just another day at the office.
"We trained to go to war and do surgery at war," said Bini.
"I never thought I'd see one of these things in my lifetime, but you just prepare for it."
"You fall back on those skills that all physicians have, going back to the basics of your practice," said Rengel.
They argue the real heroes are the men and women on the front lines, not them.
"Those guys risking being blown up every day, those guys are the ones taking the big risk," said Terreri.
"We're safe compared to guys walking around down the roads."

they're still talking about it
My roommates and I were asked to introduce ourselves at ward prayer on Sunday. So what did we do? Nothing so boring like "Two truths and a lie" or "show-and-tell" but we reenacted one of our favorite SNL skits and changed the words to describe ourselves. I was the one portraying "Judise." The first is the original and the second is our version. Enjoy.

worst nightmare possible just realized
Today, while sitting with my computer on my lap, I coughed and spilled water I was holding onto my beautiful laptop. It beeped really loud, then I turned it off. Now when I turn it on I see no picture. I googled how to dry off computers and it pretty much said there is no hope. I am kind of freaking out. My ENTIRE LIFE is on that laptop. Pictures, papers I've written, journal entries, etc. I hold little hope in being able to recover it. Also, I have no money to pay to get it fixed. I have no money for anything. I'm using Rachelle's computer right now but I need a permanent fix. I feel naked, like the times where you forget your cell phone at home and are at school all day without it. You don't really need it and get along ok without it, but all the same you'd rather have it there. I am so distraught.

GC
General Conference. Wasn't it awesome? As always. I watched three sessions on my computer and the fourth I got to attend the Conference Center. I think it's interesting to hear everyone's thoughts after the sessions are over, which talks influenced them and what they thought the overall theme was. To me the overall theme was families and how to raise a righteous generation. There were so many talks on familes. But I've heard others say trials, youth of the church, judgment, etc. I think we decide that based on where we are in life, and what we need to work on. What that says about me? I don't know.
My favorite talk was from Sister Beck. She came to my stake about a month ago to give a fireside and ended up doing a Q & A with everyone. I feel like her talk was a continuation of that meeting and it gave me a lot of help with personal revelation which is something I think a lot about and try to learn more. She said the ability to qualify for the spirit and act on it is the #1 thing we want. This comes as we have the desire, worthiness, keep the commandments, covenants, repentance, scripture study, daily prayer etc. Promised revelation comes as we move forward in faith. This appealed to me because I'm at a turning point in my life trying to decide what to do next. I'm attempting to move forward in faith so hopefully the revelation will come sometime. She also said we are doing well in this as we develop attributes of Christ. Which is our goal to become like Him. That's what I have from my notes, and I am for sure going to read this talk once they post them online. Sister Beck is just so awesome and a great lady. I really respect her for all the work she does in the church. Being RS president is hard, think about being RS president for the whole church?!
Another talk I really enjoyed was from Elder Holland. He doesn't hold any punches back and just tells things how they are. He speaks with a lot of power but also a lot of love. I always feel a lot of love from him when he talks. This session he spoke about pornography and its effects on families. He and his wife had just met three women who were all divorced and it started with pornography. I could tell the love he had for those sisters and with a fatherly kind of love, wanted to protect anyone else from it. Elder Holland said, like Jacob, it pained him to speak of these things, but it was out of love that he did. It also impressed me how he could take such a depressing topic and make the tone of the talk happy and hopeful. He even told a few jokes! And like always he had power in his words. A quote, "The same technology that allows me to do my family history and prepare names for the temple could, if unfiltered and unprotected, allow my children and grandchildren access to a global cesspool that could blow a crater in their brains." Wow. He also spoke about the differences between lust and love. Elder Holland is a great example of love. He spoke once at BYU and told a story about how he and his wife get places. He is always in a hurry and walks very fast, Pat is a slower mover and takes her time. If they both went their own paces they would never get anywhere together. He agreed to slow down and she agreed to speed up and now they get to hold hands when they walk together. I also like the scripture from Nephi that I need to look up the reference for, "I will give place no more for the enemy of my soul." Such a great talk.
I heard there are some great talks from Priesthood Session. I look forward to reading them soon.
I love listening to the words of the Apostles and Prophet. They are truly inspired men leading the church under Heavenly Father's direction. Now let's all go be and do good.

The Best Roadtrip Ever-Spring Break 2010
I had the most amazing spring break ever. I got to go to California for the weekend with six awesome people in a minivan. My companions in the adventure were Rachelle, Amy, Liz, Melissa, Paxton and Tyler. I hadn't met Tyler before but he quickly became one of my besties. We left on Thursday evening riding in our sweet rental. It was decided that renting a car would be a good idea because we could all be in the same car, not wear and tear on our own cars, and split the gas six ways. The minivan was sweet, 2009 model with tons of buttons and AC controls. Very sweet ride. It was raining as we made our way out of P-town, but I was glad because it would make the nice weather in Cali be that much more enjoyable. We plugged in the iPods and rocked out to great music the whole way down. Among one of the great road games we played was making bird calls/sounds to every letter of the alphabet. Highly enjoyable.
We rolled in to Las Vegas at midnight. The goal was to stay there to rest up, get to Cali early the next day. Well the hotel, Planet Hollywood, did not have two rooms ready for us so we had to go stroll around for awhile. Some of the other crew wanted to dress up and while I was waiting for Melissa this black guy knocked on the door and said, "Yo Melissa, get your a** out here, yo party's waiting on you!" He was a maintence worker at the hotel, it was hilarious. We went and looked around at the Paris hotel, got dinner, Tyler and Melissa pretended they were getting married, I saw a drunk girl throw up, and was overall very overstimulated. Not my favorite part of the vacation. But since we were so mad about the rooms not being ready they gave us $100 for the restaurant in the hotel and we used it for breakfast. I only got like two hours of sleep that night...
The next day we woke up and had a nice breakfast in the hotel. We packed up and left Vegas and were on our way to California! Since we had seven people we had to sit three people in the backseat. It made for some interesting times. In the desert of California I asked Tyler if he wanted to play cards. We started playing Texas Hold 'Em. I wondered what we would bet but we came up with some pretty good stuff. At first it was things like $100,000. But then it started getting crazy. My soul, my kidney to be donated if ever needed etc. I kept losing. It was always close. But Tyler had the high card all the time. One bet was if ever the world was going to be destroyed and I had tickets on a spaceship leaving earth that I had to give all of my tickets to Tyler and his family, but if I had five kids and he had four I could keep the last ticket. Then we started betting real things. Taking the other person's stuff to the beach, rubbing suntan lotion, giving every person in the car massages, popping Tyler's toes (explained later), talking Tyler up if ever I'm alone with a girl he likes, oh and this treasure if ever Tyler toots and people can smell it, I have to claim it as my own. It was quite hilarious. People were listening to us in the car and cracking up. The favorite quote was "I see you carrying my stuff to the beach and I raise you your kidney." We played one final round where if I won I would get all of the bets back, but I lost, barely, so I had a ton of gambling debts.
It was so exciting getting into California. The sun was shining, the hills were green, and there were purple flowers all over the hillside. The windows in the doors rolled down, the air was warm! We made our way to Anaheim and found our hotel. Guess what, they weren't ready for us there either. So we went to go buy Paxton swimtrunks and then came back. At the store Tyler called in one of his debts, he tooted, but I didn't want to claim it. Then he started chatting it up with this cute little indian girl and sort of made friends with her. We went back to the hotel changed into our swimsuits and headed for the beach. The beach was fantastic. We got there a little late in the afternoon so the sun was starting to go down and it was a little cold but it was fun to feel the sand on my feet, jump in the freezing ocean and get tons of sand in my swimsuit. I took pictures, we played volleball, I collected seashells, and paid up on my debts. I gave Tyler his three minute massage and then did the toe popping. It's like cracking his knuckles but just pulling on his toes. Tyler got immense enjoyment out of the toe popping. Then we built a fire as the sun was going down. There wasn't a whole lot of wood so it didn't last long but it was cool. There were a ton of fires up and down the beach. It's too bad there wasn't anything to roast over the fire. We had a photoshoot, the fire died, and then we headed to look for food. The crew ended up at a local place called Don the beachcomber's which was a luau-like restaurant with polynesian food. There was a band playing while we ate. They had a lot of dishes with hawaiian pork. It was so tasty. I think I emptied a cup of sand from my swimsuit all over the bathroom. Then I discovered that there was a blacklight in the hotel room. I turned it on and saw there were glow in the dark stars on the ceiling so as to make your experience at Disneyland more "magical." Awesome.
The next day we got up early to make it to Disneyland before the crowd got heavy. After two nights of little sleep it was going to be hard. We did the volunteer give a day, get a day promotion and got our day in Disneyland for free. When we were picking up our tickets Paxton and Melissa told the people they had just gotten married. So they got these "Just Married" buttons, it didn't do anything for them, but later that night they found the married mickey ears and put them on. A lady walked by and said "oh how cute." Hilarious. I got a button that said I was a volunteer and I wore it all day. It was fabulous weather. I think the high was 80 degrees, it was sunny and warm. I was so excited to be in Disneyland and ride the rides. The first one we did was Space Mountain. It was so much fun, it's the best rollercoaster at Disneyland. We did the Matterhorn, Star Tours, and the Buzz Lightyear ride. I got fastpasses for Space Mountain again, when I went to pass them out we were short one. Everyone started cracking up because it was like the bet I had made to give Tyler my ticket on a spaceship. It actually came true. I thought it was hilarious too. We did a ton of stuff at the park. Indiana Jones, Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, the Jungle Cruise ride, Tikki Tikki Room, Small World, the Teacups, and even the Finding Nemo ride (which I think is a complete waste of time but we had a special pass so I went on it. The rides were so much fun for me. We would get on them and hoot and holler, or sing the song that went along. I think people got annoyed with us. In line for the Jungle Cruise Tyle started teaching us how to step. In line for Haunted Mansion we sang the Fresh Prince song. At one point we were just resting on a wall and someone suggested everyone sing a different song at the same time. At the top of our lungs. It was probably super annoying but we had fun. Some of my crew got tired early and wanted to leave by eight o'clock. Me, Melissa, Paxton and Rachelle decided to shop, and then we actually went back into the park and saw the fireworks. I love fireworks!! We walked back to the hotel and then took the van to go get food and gas in the car. It took like two hours because the directions on her phone were wrong. We ended up in ghetto Fullerton and there was a cop car in front of one of the houses. Not where In-N-Out was. Eventually we made it back to the hotel and collapsed into bed.
Sunday we got up and had breakfast, packed and got in the car to head home. I had heard it snowed in Provo over the weekend and I did not want to leave California. It was heavenly. The ride back was also really fun. Rachelle started us playing MASH with playing cards. We had to use people in the car. We started really believing what the cards told us. I got mad because I didn't win any during Paxton's round. Tyler was hilarious-he said "All of your crushes on me just increased by 30%." Because he was winning who is the best kisser, who will be the best dad,...all of the good things. All in all, very entertaining. When I got to Provo I was sad. Vacation was over, Provo was cold, I couldn't play with my friends all day every day, and reality was back on. Also, because we were so sleep deprived everything was ten times more hilarious the whole trip. I don't think I stopped laughing ever. Plus Tyler would just say anything that came to his head, and it was usually random and ridiculous, but funny. We made a favorite moments list and I put it on Facebook. It was a glorious vacation-warm weather, beach, Disneyland, funny moments, adventure, games and stories. I want to remember it forever. Spring break 2010!
And now a cool collage I made of my favorite pics from the trip-
