October Recap 2/2

Here we go again! Happy Halloween! Today was pretty fun actually. We had exam toay in French and I've been going to the tutor lately, so I feel like this exam for Chapter 3 has been way easier. I am hoping I can keep the habit of seeing the French tutor up. I have been doing an hour every week. Sadly, that is all we are allowed to do, only an hour each a week with the tutor because he is the only French tutor.

I got to wear my rainbow sock monkey costume to school Today and that was fun. I didn't get to sample at work today, but honestly I don't care. I'm probably going to complain about my work experience soon. I am still having a really hard time with the sample shift. I feel like I've been shoved off onto the side. I feel like I am in the way. Hopefully I can find a way to turn things around, but I think I'm going to quit soon.

tonight my ward had a party at the bishop's second house. His second house is really nice. I went to the store on my way back from school and the mall. I got some drinks for the party we had. I got Squirt, A&W cream soda, Root Beer and Pomegranate 7UP. No one ever brings drinks to church parties, or they don't bring enough. I made sure to have fun with my selection. There were cookies and chips there as well. I loved the ranch dip we had for the chips. Part of me wishes I had brought more salty snacks, but I've probably spent enough. We played pool, watched stuff on the TV and just hung out with each other. A lot of people from the ward came, it was pretty fun. I got a little worn out and fell asleep at some point. I wasn't asleep for very long though.

I opted out of traditional candy this year and just got some chocolates from See's Candies today. I think I'm just going to do that every year, but who knows. I might change my mind later. Ohe thing I'm excited for though when it comes to candy is the caramel M&Ms. I saw those are going to be a thing soon! They are apparently joining the ranks of the permanent flavors.

Yesterday we had Stake Conference and the church was packed with people yet again. So much that people had to sit in the halls! I loved that, it shows we are serious about wanting to grow spiritually. 

Anyway, here are some pictures of the fall leaves I took a few days ago. The fall colors have been fantastic this year!

This month for some reason I've been wanting to wear my glasses a lot more. I even wore them at work one of the times I went this month. the one time I wore my glasses however to work was the one time I got burned! It was pretty sad and I won't be trying that again. I think it's for the best if I just keep them off when I am there.

I still want to get new glasses and I've even picked them out! Judy at Voational Rehab is going to help me get some new ones soon hopefully! Here is a couple of pictures of me after work when i got a Tropical Blast Chillata from work.

So remember those colorful shoes I got a month ago? I decided I didn't want them. I have given them to Plato's Closet. It's a discount store you can give brand name and trending stuff to and they will give you money. You can buy other people's stuff discounted of course. I only got $7 for them, but honestly I don't care. They take 60% off of the price and give you a portion of the remaining price when you sell. Something like that. I might be a little off. Anyway, I've been wearing my Asics brand shoes that I originally got for running but haven't used much up until now. I am a lot more comfortable wearing those ones.

I was at a hobby shop on that day looking for Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. Plato's Closet is right next door, so after I found out where the cards are for some future date when I'm going to buy some I visited. That was when I realized I could sell my high top shoes and I went home and got them. I hope whoever bought them from the store likes them more than I did. Whoever got them was lucky because like I said before, they took 60% off of the original price.

Anyway, I've been wanting to try out more brands of artisan water. Some people think all water is the same and I know better. Some bottled water and even tap waater is more acidic and some is more alkaline. You want the alkaline stuff, it is better for you. Here is a cool video.

I recal buying Fiji water sometime this month along with some ice cream.

I seem to be going out for treats a lot when I have hard homework. We have started the beginnings of major paper 5 in English. I was going to do my research paper on agoraphobia, but that is hard to research right now because it si no longer considered to be part of panic disorder. The DSM-V has reclassified it as a stand alone disorder and phobia. I am doing my research paper on Depression and Anxiety instead. We have been doing out annotated bibliographies and research proposals. I hate English homework, but I am getting better at writing stuff like that for sure.

Mango Slushie

So today I went swimming again with my sister and her family. Seven Peaks wasn't open today, so we went to another local pool. Before we payed and everything though we went to this nearby snow cone place. They had tons of flavors, and they don't actually serve them in cones, they serve them in cups. I got a medium Mango slushy. We did this before we went swimming to pass the time because we were waiting for i to be 6:00. After 6:00 they make it half price. We just sat there eating slushies until 6:00 and then went in.

We got a locker, and put our clothes and stuff in it. then figured out a place to put our towels and sunscreen and stuff. We got into the pool after this. They have more than one pool where we went. They have one that is from 3 feet and up, they have one that is from 4 feet to 13 feet with lanes and stuff as well, and a diving board over where it is 13 feet. They have two slides, a twisty one, and one that goes straight. The place where the slide ends is attached to this other place that I don't quite know how to describe, it's kind of a river like thing that has a current and goes around in circles, and then it has this space in the middle that is kind of like an unheated hot tub.  There is also this place with all these sprinklers, and fun water falls and stuff, but it is freezing cold. It's a pretty fun pool, we were there for 2 hours. I spent some time with my nieces, and had to fix their goggles a few times, it was pretty fun spending time with them.

I didn't get to go off the diving board, it just slipped my mind, I did do everything else there. Oh, and I forgot to mention they also have a plce where you can get food. I didn't get anything, but they have quite a lot.

Anyway, after wen went swimming we went home and i just went back to what I was doing before i went swimming. I just spent he rest of the night with family and just watching stuff on Netflix, and nothing else of note that i remember.
