edward.
so much has happened this week!!
first: WE BOUGHT A PET FISH!! KateLyn and I bought a cute little Betta Fish today. He is purple and pinkish. And we named him Edward. We love him already. He is the best pet ever.
second: KateLyn is back!! We moved into our new apartment. We love it! We have some fun roommaates and this is looking to be a fabulous year. We were Y Group Leaders for New Student Orientation this year. We had a group of about 30 freshman who we were in charge of for the last 3 days. We did everything with them 8-5 everyday. It was a lot of work. But it was also super fun.
third: BYU won their first football game today! 41 -17! Go Cougars!!
fourth: i love fall. It is so fun! I'm excited for my new classes and friends and experiences. yay!
fifth: my roommate from this summer Beth...has NEVER read Pride and Prejudice. Ever. I was shocked. And slightly disappointed. And sad for her. She's missing out on life.
sixth: as you can probably see, our closet is so tiny. That is both my clothes and KateLyn's clothes, crammed into one tiny closet. yikes!!
seventh: I have the most wonderful poster of John Mayer on my wall. Isn't it beautiful?? The only problem is that KateLyn doesn't share my love for him. Definitely a problem.
eighth: My friend Brandon got home from his mission this past week! So exciting. It was wonderful to talk to him.
um. That's about it. :]

donations.
I'm starting a fund.
its called:
HELP JORDAN BUY HER TEXT BOOKS
I need to raise a total of $680 for textbooks for this coming semester.
(yes, you read that right. textbook prices for fall semester have gone through the roof. its ridiculous. for my french class alone, the books are $350. très tragique. i know.) Anyone who would like to donate, please contact me for further information.
im just kidding...kind of.

school.
countdown to school: 23 days.
wow.
i can't believe that fall semester is already here!
i move into my new apt on the 25th.
then one week later classes start!
i can't believe that i am a sophomore already!
weirddd.
actually, i am super excited.
im taking some cool classes this fall that im super excited about.
im a taking an art history class (1500 AD-present) that im stoked for.
and im starting french class...! haha.
it makes me nervous to start a language!!
but i have to take 5 semesters for my major so - ive gotta start sometime!
maybe one day i'll become a famous editor and move to paris and make use of my (soon to be) exquisite skills with the french language. haha.
i think that french sounds so sophisticated...
and artsy..
and très chic :]
i love watching the olympics.
i love love love it!!
the men's relay was possibly one of the most amazing things i have ever seen!
i was talking to my dad about it the other day, and our conversation made me laugh:
me: omigosh dad did you see the mens relay? it was amazing!
dad: yeah i did
me: wasn't it the most amazing thing you've ever seen?!?!
dad: yeah it was cool!
me: seriously, i've never seen something that awesome
dad: jord, you need to watch sports more.
haha.
tonight is the womens gymnastics team finals.
im so excited.
this is definitely my favorite event.
i think that shawn johnson is so amazing!
i am definitelyn her number 1 fan.
shes like..4'8"
shes 16
she still goes to normal high school (unlike anybody else on the team)
she has a 4.0
she only trains 20 hrs a week
the rest of the olympic gymnasts train 40+ hrs.
basically...shes amazing.
and shes so fun to watch.
she does everything so well!
im super excited to see how we do tonight.
i can't believe that summer is really over.
15 weeks ago - i was convinced that this was going to be a terrible summer.
all of my friends were going home for the break
i was going to be living in an apartment with people that i didnt know
and working a 9-5 job every single day - ive never worked that much in...well, in my entire life.
and i was just going to be miserable
(okay..im being a tad dramatic..).
well - with the exception of the last one - all of these things were true
and yet, it turned out to be an amazing summer.
my roommates turned out to be 2 of the most amazing girls i have ever met
we have gone on some wonderful adventures.
plus, working 40 hrs a week didn't really suck all thaaaat bad.
rachel, the girl i work with, has become a very good friend.
without her...it would have sucked "all thaaaat bad"
hm.
well.
this has possibly been one of the most scattered posts yet!
au revoir!

amazing.
i have the most amazing aunts.
i love them. they are all so cute and fun.
there is one in particular that i've been seeing more of now that i'm up at college.
she is one of the most amazing women that i know.
i love her so much and i look up to her for so many things.
she is such a role model to me.
she is exactly what i think that mothers should be.
she has three little girls - and they are her world.
the four of them are best friends.
they play together, dance together, sing together.
it is so cute.
within minutes of being in their home, you can tell how much she loves them.
tonight i was at her house and something happened that i thought was so cute.
it wasn't really a huge event, or a big deal, but it was just so cute
the littlest girl (age 4?) had been sleeping over at my other cousins house
and when she walked in, my aunt dropped what she was doing and ran over and gave her a hug and told her in a very excited, happy voice how happy she was to see her and how much she had missed her.
it was just so cute.
the other thing that i love about her is how crafty she is.
so makes the most adorable things.
she makes these adorable huge flowers that go in her girls' hair.
and these amazing bags that are so cute.
and now she's making these frilly aprons that are so so so cute.
i love them.
anyway, i just really love her and think she is amazing.
while we're talking about my amazing family...
i have this cousin who is starting her sophomore year in high school this fall.
she is the smartest little girl i know.
she works so dang hard!
that was definitely a quality that i never really had.
school was kind of always easy for me, and i could get really good grades without doing much
(in high school...college is definitely a different story)
anyway, this girl works her tail off.
shes so so cute.
all the boys love her.
and this fall, as a 15 year old...she is taking AP Calculus.
are you kidding me?
AP calc?
i'm a sophomore in college..and i still haven't braved that class.
thats awesome.
speaking of awesome...
i have an awesome grandpa.
i'm sure i've written about him before.
but he is my number one favorite person on this entire planet.
he is my hero in every way and my best friend without question.
my aunt (the totally cute one) is starting a preschool this fall
(which, ps, is going to be amazing. i can't think of a better place to send little kids other than to her house. those kids are really going to have an amazing time)
she is in the process of re-doing her basement.
my cute grandparents have been over there almost everyday for weeks tiling and laying floors and putting together cupboards and hanging doors.
my cute cute cute 70 something year old grandpa is over there til late at night working so hard
i just love him.
so much.
anyway.
i have a pretty amazing family.
the end.
well not the end.
i'm just gona keep going here even though this is basically just rambling.
last wednesday, i was talking with my roommate about how boring this city is
(seriously, not an exaggeration. its terrible)
so, what do we decide to do?
hey - lets go to vegas!
ha. brilliant.
so me and two of my friends left work early, packed the car and took off.
my family has been out of town so my whole house was empty.
we had the weekend, an empty house, a car...it was fabulous.
it was an amazing weekend.
we all slept in too late, spent money we didn't have, and eat so much food that it was probably disgusting.
but it was so fun.
i love las vegas.
sure the strip is what it's known for, but when you get away from the strip, its really an amazing place. i love it.
i love being there.
i love the smell
i love the heat
i love the palm trees and the sand
i love the red rock mountains.
basically, i love it all.
and i had an awesome weekend with my friends!!
they're so fun
and i'm so glad that i stayed in provo this summer with them
okay. thats enough amazingness for one blog.
i love them. they are all so cute and fun.
there is one in particular that i've been seeing more of now that i'm up at college.
