Squaw Peak Hike

So many of you have been speculating and wondering about what I've been doing lately. So today I went on a hike with Brian to I think squaw peak. It was a pretty long hike and we kinda got lost and walked through forest for a few hours but it was really fun. It was pretty challenging though but I enjoyed it. Here's a picture of Brian and I. For those of you who want to know, here are some facts about Brian: he's doing Mechanical Engineering, he's in 3 of my classes, he served a mission in Peru, he's in the BYU marching band, he likes scuba diving and camping.

BYU Triathlon

I did the first ever BYU Triathlon. It was a 200m swim, 6.2 mile bike, and a 1.8 mile run. It was so fun. On the swim I passed two boys and did really well. I didn't take too long in the transition but wasn't so fast on the bike. The second lap of the bike I was faster though. The downhill part was so fun because I got going so fast. When I got to the run I was tired. It was hard to keep running but I did. I was really slow but got through it and sprinted at the end. I didn't get an award and I don't know my time yet but I think I did really good and it was way fun. Here are the routes for the bike and run if you want to know. Emily has pictures on her blog and Facebook.

FAN!

Oh my gosh! So I made this fan for my Mechanical Engineering Graphics class and then I had to render it and put cool colors in it. It looks awesome! I love it. I made the hands a human skin texture and the base is Bronze and the grate is Gold veined Stone. I love the lighting and the angle and how the colors go together and the sky. AND it's hands on a fan. This is so cool.

Heather's Birthday

October 11th was my roommate Heather's birthday so Sara made a cake and I suggested that we make it into a castle. So I was in charge of designing it. I have NEVER decorated a cake before and I was nervous but it turned out good. I tried to show Emily but she was gone and then we ate it. Everyone was impressed and I was proud of it.

BYU Homecoming Parade

So I volunteered to be in the BYU Homecoming parade. I got to hold a banner that said Dean's Award for the college of nursing float. We also got free t-shirts. I love them.

True Blue Football

So I don't have very many pictures from the blue foam thing because somebody else took them with their camera. But I will be receiving them soon. But here is what I have for now. I got SO blue! We went down the blue foam slip-n-slide once and then somebody spilled blue dye on the ground so we went and coated ourselves with it. It was really strong. There were so many people there we had to wait in line for the slide for about 45 minutes but it was totally worth it! Afterwords I went to dinner group all blue and everyone was really surprised. Emily freaked out because I was so blue. It came off though, mostly. Just my fingernails are blue now. It was so fun AND there was free pizza which was a plus.

Tennis

I played tennis with Mike yesterday for an hour. It was fun. I found another tennis ball so now I have two!

Bike Ride

I went on about a ten mile bike ride today with Mike. We went on the trail that goes by Bridal Veil Falls. It was fun.
