Upperclassman Status

I'm officially an upperclassman! Not that it really matters in college, but it just sounds cool. Junior... wow! I'm starting to feel old, but then again I really have lived this long so I guess its legit. I finished my finals on Tuesday, packed/cleaned ALL day Wednesday, and was in Heber until the cast came off on Monday and the flight home. Its going to be a nice few relaxing days. I wouldn't have been able to clean and pack if it wasn't for my grandma helping me. What a blessed person I am to have such wonderful, helping family members. Grandpa and Ryan came up with the truck to help haul my stuff away. I have definitely acquired a collection, that's for sure. Josh and some of his buddies came up to help too. Today Chelsey, Josh, Grandma, and I all ran errands in Provo which was a bit stressful, but fun at the same time. I feel pretty accomplished today. I spent all the money left on my meal card, $90 worth of kitchen stuff for next year. It should definitely come in handy. I'm really excited for my muffin tin. ha.
Since my last post we've had our swim banquet which included dinner at Brick Oven, awards, and movie slideshow in the SAB. I always love the movie. Kirsty's parents did a great job of taking pictures and putting them all together. The website where you can see more is at http://picasaweb.google.com/jeffreybferrell/. The girl's team won conference so we awesome rings that are really cute. Their not girly really, but huge in a way that's obnoxious...just cute. It says my name on it and everything. Pretty sweet.
Well summer is a callin'! Sophomore year was great filled with lots of memories! :)

Finals :(

This is how finals make me feel. The pictures says it all. I have two more to go and of course I saved the hardest for last...History of Creativity and American Heritage. I can't wait to be done!!! It'll be the best feeling ever. :) Then, I get to start all my fun classes in the fall for ELED!! Yahoo! Wish me luck. Studying is taking over my life.

The Scooter is Awesome!

This is in honor of Ansley's request and my mom's worry warts. So fun. The hill is bigger than it seems btw.

The Pink Cast

So last Friday I got surgery on my ankle. It went well...no complications or anything. The one surprise was that 2 minutes before I went into surgery the nurse asked me what color cast I wanted. "What?! I'm getting a cast?" This was news to me. I don't know what I was thinking I was getting, but it certainly wasn't a cast. Due to the fact that they did not have bright purple or electric blue, I went with the florescent pink. I got quite the comments from the nurses and staff at the surgery center, but hey! I like my pink :)

I'm not a fan of pain....and surgery is painful....not the actual procedure, but the healing process is killer. Whoever invented pain killers should be sent straight to the celestial kingdom for that deed! I'm going to try the whole school thing tomorrow...we shall see how that goes. I have gotten quite the collection of signatures, which makes me feel loved. But most of all, if it wasn't for Chelsey I would still be at Grandma's getting fat on wonderful food. I'm not saying that Grandma's food is bad, its just that you can only handle the consequences of the food for a few days. Chelsey has done so much for me and I love her for it! She's there when I feel like a fat man and can't pick up my clothes on the ground. She's there when I feel like a baby and can't quite get into the bathtub by myself. She's there when I feel like a 7-year-old and can't quite make myself dinner. But most of all she's there as my friend helping the gimp get through the day. The best adventure with the pink cast so far has been to Smith's to go grocery shopping. I drove my own cart just like an old person who can't walk. A dream come true! haha. Those motorized carts even beep when you back up. Unfortunately they really don't go all that fast. What a shame.

The adventures of the pink cast to be continued....

Recent Adventures

Dinner for Jodie's Birthday at Olive Garden

We had a blast and I absolutely love Jodie for the wonderful person she is! She always makes everyone feel loved and included. I love the random notes or Madagascar stickers she puts on my swim locker. She laughs more than anyone I know, causing everyone else in the room to do the same. What a great quality to have. Jodie always has a smile and a funny story to tell. Happy birthday babe!

Key Lime Pie
 What a delicious treat that Makena and Chelsey made randomly one night! One of the many joys of having a ready-assesible kitchen is the joy of yummy food and cooking. As an apartment we have taken advantage of our wonderful, spacious kitchen. Our tummies love it! Key Lime Pie is one of Makena's specialties and boy will her family love her for it as well. I love these girls. Good times :)

guts.

So it's official. I'm going to get surgery next Friday, April 2nd. Finally, my ankle will STOP hurting and I will be able to run around like a normal kid again. (Well...that is after scootering, physical therapy, and walking in the much loved boot). Granted, I still run around and "pretend" it doesn't hurt, which is why this whole surgery thing is throwing people for a loop. I just cannot stand watching our FHE group play ultimate or volleyball and just sit on the side lines. It takes a lot for me to stay out of the action. For having never broken a single bone, I think this should have been broken instead. It would have healed faster and people could have drawn pictures and signed their little autographs all over me. But no...instead I get a boot and good ol' Dr. Faux (pronounced Fox, I know...not as cool) gets to cut me up. I had a dream when the idea of surgery came up awhile ago where I was having the surgery, but all my guts starting falling out of my ankle as they cut it up. SO horrifying! I'm hoping that does not happen. I'd like to keep my guts in their right spot...particularly my intestines. Pray for me that everything will go well! Thank goodness for my wonderful grandparents that are going to take care of me the best they can. I'm sure I won't be too helpless though. The challenge of the week of April 5th=stairs. hmmmmm. I do live on the third floor so that should be interesting. I will definitely feel for those wheelchair people and their much needed ramps. I'm joining the club, please be nice to me!

Laundry Fiasco

Laundry is a big task here at Liberty Square. They like to make sure you pay as much as possible in order to get clean clothes....physical and emotional. So...the laundry pile gets higher and higher until one day, Ah! No "cute" underwear left. The dreaded day comes when you have to sell your soul to the laundry room, clinking away your quarters. This dreaded day usually comes every 2 weeks, but for obvious reasons was stretched out beyond that. And the best part was, Chelsey caught the disease as well. We dedicated a day to laundry and set to work. Needless to say, I have never seen so much dirty laundry in my life. It took over the entire back of our closet and slowly kept creeping forward almost as if it would eat you. It took all my effort to squeeze the smelly pile into the basket. I discovered that sitting on the pile works wonders. :) Somehow, Chelsey had bigger problems and had to resort to using a few grocery bags to carry all of her clothes. After taking over 3 washers and 3 dryers, my clothes were finally clean and we proceeded to dump our entire wardrobe in front of the TV to fold. It was quite a sight! Oh, the day when I will have my own washer and dryer...
