Red Sands Weekend!

Hi Everyone!

This weekend was so much fun...it was Ambassador tryouts for next year aka Red Sands Weekend and it is one of my favorite things we do all year long! It is going to be a tough decision since I loved almost everyone who was trying out this year...I was joking with Pat, one of our advisors for the program and I said "Can't we just take everyone and be the new and improved 100 DSC Ambassadors?!" and he said "Yeah! We'll just use all our money on scholarships and party all year!" Haha i guess I didn't think of it that way. But i'm really excited for next year since there were lots of awesome candidates. WE had so much fun at our weekend! I will tell you about our fun day!

First, we met everyone and had a slideshow about what its like to be an Ambassador. Then the students had to partcipate in different challenges, like writing an e-mail about their school, playing a game about ethics and giving a mock tour to potential students. But then it was time for fun! We ate Fazoli's and headed up to the DSC Cabin in Pine Valley. I rode with Jennica, Morgan, Nicole and Ali and we had lots of fun talking about boys (one of my personal favorite subjects!) We actually got a little bit lost but it turned out ok, it ended up being really funny. Then we arrived at the cabin and saw everyone standing on the front porch frowning! Then we came to find out that our advisor got pulled over on the way up to the cabin! It was freezing outside and when he finally came everyone started cheering! It was hilarious. Then we gorged on junk food and played fun games like Werewolf (my favorite) and the Couch Game. Here is a picture of me and Ali, my cute friend who also writes one of these fabulous blogs! Hers is really fun to read, I recommend it! And some more pics of us playing the couch game and me and some of us Ambassadors/our younger tryout buddies being silly!

Basically, it was late at night and I was feeling VERY silly! If you look closely, you can see my new Juicy Couture ring (if you haven't read my blog before...i'm really into fashion! ) Some of the people at the weekend were teasing me because my ring was freakin' huge and my friend Andy even said it looked like I was wearing the world on my finger :D Haha but back to the retreat! I was really excited to be cabin roomates with Julie, Lindsey and Sarah, and we stayed up too late talking! I think we went to bed around 3:30 AM! And we had to get up at 8 am to listen to funny speeches, like "If you met a genie and could have three wishes, what would they be?" It was a lot of fun, but I have to admit the next day I was exausted from all the fun! Until Next Time,

Happy (Late) St. Patrick's Day

I know, I know...technically it's not St. Patrick's day anymore. But I still hope you had a good one! This is going to be a very short post since it is past my bedtime ;)

Tonight the SHE Club hosted an off the hook St. Patrick's Day Party at Rebel Creek, and it was so fun just hanging out with the girls, meeting cute new boys and dancing! One of my favorite parts of St. Patty's is busting on the people who didn't wear green...it's so funny when they forget all about it and you get to pinch them! I haven't laughed that hard in FOREVER! One of my good friends from high school, Megan, walked up to me and started poking me at school that morning. I was wearing a necklace that had green in it, and she didn't pinch me, just poked so it was just an odd way of saying hello I guess! Here are some more pics from our crazy good time:

Hope you had a very green day!

Spring Breakdown!

What a day! First off, I am happy to say that spring break has finally arrived and I am loving every minute of it! Well, except for one exception...but i'll get to that momentarily. I will start at the beginning of the story, because I've heard that is always the best place to start...

My best friend Chris and I decided we needed to get out of the house on this lovely evening. You may recognize him from the Madonna Party photos in my January post. But anyway, being the shopaholic that I am, a brilliant idea came to mind. After watching "The Mallpisode" in Season 2 of The OC (our favorite show, only 2nd of course to The Simpsons) we decided to go shopping. We were having fun, despite the fact that there was no good sales. So we decided to leave the mall (after our modeling session in the dressing room at American Eagle, pictured below)

Chris and I lookin' fierce (our new favorite word) and Me and my triplet sisters takin photos of our bad selves

So we skip the car and start driving to Kohls, another favorite store of ours. So we were stopped at the light, singing our favorite song "Tattoo" by Jordin Sparks when all of a sudden, we look over at the guy to our right in a REALLY old chevy car that is rusted with red and blue paint splotches all over it and he is giving us the dirtiest look (like we were the scum of the earth!) I couldn't figure out why, until I looked forward...

A scream escaped my throat, and then, I don't know what happened. Maybe we went crazy. Maybe the smoke was toxic and we inhaled too much. But that's when everything broke loose: Chris and I just started laughing and couldn't stop. There was smoke everywhere! And you know its gotta be bad when a crazy guy with a rusted chevy is giving YOU the dirty looks. So we pulled over, and lucky me, I have a mechanic for a daddy so I just called him and he took care of everything. I'm sure if I was the one paying the mechanic bill I wouldn't have been laughing! Until next time,

Amanda :)

SHE Club Bonfire

Tonight was such a blast! Us S.H.E. club members hosted a bonfire social for us and The X Club. It was so much fun catching up with the girls, making hot dogs and S'mores and just being carefree.

My friend Emily kept having disastrous results trying to make S'Mores, she ended up lighting a grand total of 6 marshmallows on fire! It was hard to keep a straight face about it :D It was so fun meeting all the guys in The X Club, they are a REALLY funny and goofy bunch! Honestly, I'm so gladwe get to do stuff like this. It was a nice stress release too since this week is Midterms! I swear, this week and finals week are the busiest of the year. But at least next week (March 8-17) is SPRING BREAK! I'm so excited to just have fun around town with friends and hopefully there will be some good sales because I got my taxes back ($cha-ching!) I am such a shopaholic, we shouldn't even go there cause we will be there ALL DAY! I was hoping to go out of town with a friend to Provo but it might not work out, but that's what the summer is for right? Speaking of summer, I found out today that after Spring Break there is only 5 weeks of classes left! Woohoo! I'll have another post for you later this week to make up for the lack of one last week...I was sick, again! Until Next Time!!
