the office

so the office is over. it's been a good run, hasn't it? is started my office experience with the british season one. oh how funny it was...i had to get the american version too! the only way i got through some weeks was hoping that next thursday, jim and pam would finally end up together. my favorite office watching experiences were always after filling my stomach with wings and french fries from wingstop. i guess since i can't have wingstop anymore, the office must leave my life too.
i don't mean to trivialize the situation, but part of me is glad that it's over. let's face it, this season just hasn't been as good as the previous ones. i've been a fan from the beginning and continue to watch...but i have been a little disappointed. i don't know...maybe i'm wrong. maybe it's just different because i don't watch it with the same people anymore? or maybe it's because there's no more guessing with jim and pam? or maybe it's not as good because everyone and their mother is a crazy fan? we'll see what life is like post-office...

tomorrow: national bittersweet chocolate with almonds day

HI TC!

haunted forest and halloween

this week has been crazy...i haven't really had a chance to do a lot of blogging, but here i am to update you on allison fife's life. i went to a haunted forest the other weekend...it was so scary! it was utah's best attempt at knott's scary farm. they did an ok job. that is to say, they scared me! i didn't really do anything for halloween...went to a couple dance parties the weekend before though. a bunch of girls on my floor dressed as "women in black." this was basically a costume cop-out. it was a play off of men in black...but cooler. we got to wear normal clothes and sunglasses so we didn't look scary and we were comfortable. when people asked what i was dressed as, i kept giving them different answers. these included thief in the night, paul mitchell student, shadow, black licorice, spy...or basically anything else that is black. on halloween i just watched a movie and hung out. couldn't do anything too crazy because i had a midterm the next morning at 8:00. could somebody talk to my teacher about how that isn't allowed?

a sip is worth a thousand words.

peter fuller is basically a genius. he taught me, brittney and jenny how to drink a soda and analyze someone else doing the same. there are three ways.
1. fill cup, drink soda. this is the masculine way to down a drink. there is no straw involved. this is how real men drink.
2. fill cup, put straw in, drink soda. this is a feminine way to drink. any man who drinks this way is either gay or has the potential to be. with the straw just floating freely in the liquid, it allows the girl to stir, lift, and sip. it gives the person sipping more freedom to use their hands in the drinking process. this can be used as a flirting device, thus making it a feminine action.
3. fill cup, put lid on, put straw in, drink soda. this one can go either way. this is the method men use if they want use a straw while still appearing masculine. it's all about the stability of the straw. girls can also use this method if not counting on using their straw to flirt. so if you're not sure, use this method.
i hope we all think about how we are using our straws in the future. and watch out because i'll be analyzing your every sip.

daydreaming...

i bought a cd yesterday! "Debussy for daydreaming" music to caress your innermost thoughts. how exciting does that sound? its actually a really good classical cd. i listened to it yesterday while taking a grammar test online and i'm pretty sure i scored higher than i would have if i was not listening to it. classical music makes you smarter...right? plus, i love daydreaming. and the fact that the music is supposed to caress my innermost thoughts makes me excited. is that weird?

mid terms

this college thing is crazy. i feel like every week is midterm week! it's weird too...i'm actually studying for these tests!
one thing that's really different about college vs. high school is that i'm learning how to study. my new favorite place on campus is the library (it used to be the math lab). ok, so maybe these aren't my favorites...but they are the ones i frequent the most. what a geek, huh! oh well...what's a girl to do?

bored in poli sci

i'm sitting in poli sci right now and realized i haven't blogged in a really long time. i'm extremely bored and don't want to study for a test i have to take later today. since my poli sci class is pass/fail i can afford to blog during this class.

what has been happening lately you ask? let's see...

lindsey came up for conference weekend. that was really fun. we ate breakfast in salt lake one morning at a really cute restaurant and then went to Hatch Family Chocolates! it's run by little people which basically makes it awesome. we had a few photo shoots and just had fun.

i've been having midterms this last week and i'm glad those are coming to an end. (my last one is on monday!)

my tap teacher asked me to be her TA! that was really exciting. but i found out today that i don't get class credit or anything...so it's not that exciting anymore.

my teacher is talking about how red pens are being banned in schools because it is unfriendly. purple is the new color to use. my teacher has really funny hair...reminds me of the sixties in utah--imagine that!

i'm learning how to drive a stick shift on saturday! scary!

it hailed today in provo. but don't worry, i was safe inside.

can't think of anything else to write right now...but i feel much better about blogging. i think i'll start doing it again! so prepare yourself internet world! allison fife is back!
