Day 8
Day eight- Three turn-ons.
1. Smelling nice. Not like you showered in Axe though. Fine line to cross. Actually its not a fine line at all, don't use Axe. Shower instead.
2. Being courteous. Like, opening doors and being polite. For/to everyone not just me.
3. Not being afraid of what anyone will think of you. Say what's on your mind (provided it is appropriate for the situation) and if you feel like being goofy, then DO it. I dig.

Day 7
Day seven- Four turn-offs.
1. Smelling bad. Shower once a day and wear deodorant. That's really all you need to do.
2. Being too whiney/emotional. Don't be a little girl. I need to have more emotions than you.
3. Being too clingy. I mean, I love cuddling and hand-holding... But don't get crazy.
4. Acting cocky and "too cool." Get over yourself. No one's judging you except you.

Day 6
I got confused yesterday. Anyway, this is the real day 6.
Day Six- Five people who mean a lot to you. I may do groups of people...
1. My immediate family- I LOVE them. My mom, Aaron, Melanie, my dad, Taryn, and Wade. They're just the best. I love when they call/text for no reason other than to ask how I am doing. I love talking to them and hearing about their lives. I love how much they love me.
2. My roommates- It may be too soon to say, but thus far in the year, my roommates are awesome. They're super chill and easy to talk to. Plus one of them maybe got me a job. And the other one made cake that I just ate for breakfast. And the other one is hilarious. Anyway, they're great.
3. My "other house" friends- Those girls are some of the most amazing people I've ever met. They're funny and awesome to talk to. They're so talented and they would help anyone with anything they needed. I feel so lucky to be their friend and I'm so happy I get to see all of them just by going to one house.
4. My mentor Kathleen- she is such an inspiration. She is so involved and active. Everytime we talk I find out something else she does to volunteer, or a club she's in, sport she plays, etc. I admire her and she truly lives up to her title. She's so giving and has great advice. She is calming and rational and still funny. I'm blessed to have been assigned to her.
5. My extended family- I adore my family. They're incredibly quirky and funny and so so kind. I love how I don't even see them very often but I still know that if I needed anything they would do everything they could to help.
There are so many other people I want to talk about but I have to get to class/I'm done with the list now.. Haha. But I am super grateful to all my friends, old and new, and my family and those leaders that make it possible for me to do everything I do.

Semester 3 at UA
School is back in session. I've attended almost all of my classes at least once.
Here are my thoughts:
Well okay, so in Spanish 102 at the lovely University of Arizona an A is from 92%-100% which is almost the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Because you have two points more of a chance to get a B.
Also, I feel totally and completely overwhelmed in that class. I was going through questions that my professor might ask and I kept answering them in Italian because they're so similar. So that's unfortunate. Thankfully a lot of people speak Spanish. My friend David helped me today. I told him to not make fun of my accent because I know I sound like a gringo and he corrected me kindly (I sound like a gringA not a gringO). It was funny, but did nothing to bolster my diving confidence. Thankfully I answered some questions correctly in class today so that was a relief. They have this rule that you aren't allowed to speak english, but asking questions in a language I don't know is hard. I started making up words. Like "que es la .... differencia? de enfrente de y (something I can't remember)" and then I just blush and look stupid. It's really unfortunate. But I now try to translate everything into spanish in my head. It doesn't work.
The day classes started I checked out the syllabus for this African American Studies class (read: general education) and I was quite displeased with it. So I switched into another random class that fulfilled the same requirement and was at the same time. I was nervous for this class because the description was very vague, but it didn't have any prerequisites. I went and seriously, this class is just perfect. I'm so happy with it. It is studying middle schoolers and how to teach them and how they feel and such. Also, we volunteer 2 hours/week mentoring middle school students in Tucson. It's PERFECT. I'm so happy about it. I also met some kids in that class and they seemed really friendly.
Also Monday night I switched into a Natural Science class (gen eds kill me) with my friend Brittany so I could switch OUT of my leadership class (the leadership class books were $320. For a LEADERSHIP class.). Then I had an extra NATS class so I switched out of that and into the last required gen ed class that so happens to be a classics course. And then I found out that my friend/roommate Kirstin is in that class! And the professor is hilarious. I honestly have no idea how the ideas he was talking about tie together, but its okay. Because he is funny and passionate and he has a cocker spaniel helper dog. He said the word humdinger and also told some jokes. (She is an arid lands TA, the only non-classics TA we have. She'll help us get through the dry patches.) (UA Police Department was vandalized and all the toilet seats were stolen. They're really upset, they have nothing to go on.) (I am proud to say my book is in its 4th printing. ... The first three were blurred.)
I found out that Victoria is also taking my online class! I'm quite pleased with that. I haven't looked at it yet though.
Anyway, I'm going to do homework and stuff (check me out, being a good student and whatnot).

Day Five
Day Five- 6 things you wish you'd never done
I'll preface this by saying that I think good has come of every situation I've found myself in... So this was hard to do.
1. Eaten that Del Taco on a car ride. Nausea never felt so bad.
2. Had real maple syrup, because now I'm addicted and it is kind of expensive.
3. I wish I had never collected ceramic kittens.
4. Ditched seminary for a different class (although nothing bad really came of it)
5. Learned how to make no-bake cookies... Those things are so goooooood.
6. Talked back to my parents.
Chanda C.
PS. School has begun. As of yesterday. I'll update more later.

Day 4
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
1. People who would/wouldn't attend my funeral if I died like, tomorrow.
2. How much I just don't know or understand (usually accompanied with frustration)
3. Luna
4. The desire to be more charitable
5. Money (and the lack thereof) (and the need for a job)
6. When I'm eating or looking at food I imagine swimming in it. Jello, of course, would be amazing. I think cooked rice would be really cool also. And shredded lettuce would be a totally weird sensation.
7. My family and friends and how they are doing/if they know how much I love them/if I'm doing a good job at showing how much they mean to me.
I'm off to school. Yippee.

Day Three
8 ways to win my heart: In the romantic and also the friendly way.
1. Make me laugh. That's like the most generic "how to win a girl over" tip ever. But seriously, it's important.
2. Look like Tom Welling.... This applies only to men.
3. Don't be needy. If you're too emotional or I have to entertain you... It'll be harder to be friends.
4. Do something to make memories/inside jokes. That way the next time we see each other we can be like "Remember that one time?" and then laugh about it together. That's good.
5. Bare your soul to me. Not only does this show that you trust me, it also makes me like you more probably.
6. Always be courteous to everyone else. If you yell at a waiter or something... It makes me feel bad for the waiter and also awkward.
7. Make food. Like, with me.. Or whatever. Because I really enjoy making food. And also, I think it's fun. And delicious.
8. Plan things and invite me to them. I like not having to plan things.

Day 2
DAY TWO!!!!!!
Nine things about myself.
1. People make my day when they text/call me. The happiest nights I go to sleep are the ones that follow days I spent talking with old friends and making new ones, whatever the media.
2. Despite popular belief, I want to get married someday. Just not before I have figured myself out and know what I want. I don't ever want to look at my husband and wonder if there was someone better. He will deserve better than that.
3. I've changed a lot since high school. That's why I deleted everyone from high school on FB. I don't feel like they know me anymore/I don't think they care and I know I don't.
4. I'm really not that funny.
5. If I could I would wear flannel pajama pants and a plain white v everywhere.
6. I was struck by lightning through a microwave once. Don't worry, I survived.
7. I've actually done some cool stuff in my life (competitions, elections, etc). But I feel like now that I'm in college none of it matters anymore.
8. I want to be a motivational speaker, but I'm not counting on that actually ever happening.
9. I brush my teeth in the shower, but I don't pee in there. That's weird.

I wish I had found this 10 days ago...
So I thought I was following my friend Janae's blog but apparently I wasn't.. This was brought to my attention and immediately rectified and I found this blog thing that I stole from her........... So I'm going to do it. At first I was like, man that's so egotistical thinking that people want to know these things about me. And then I thought... I have a blog, of course it's egotistical. Without further ado:
The Blog thing that I prefaced too much because it's really not that exciting but it will give me something to do:
Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot to you.
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two smileys that describe your life right now.
Day Ten: One confession.
Day ONE!!
1. I don't regret it but I am so so so sorry to have hurt you. (I also hope you read this and know its about you.)
2. Thank you for getting me through that hellish year. You were heaven sent.
3. I still don't understand what problem you had with me, but I'm cool with you now... Mostly.
4. You probably shouldn't have done that, but I hope it turns out for the best.
5. You're beautiful and don't need to worry about the future so much.
6. I love you and want you to stop questioning it and trust me.
7. I miss you.
8. Your mass texts don't make me feel better, they make me feel used.
9. I'm not that funny.
10. You made my day.
Phew. Done with that. Tomorrow will be fun.

On the hunt
I need a job!
So I went on craigslist and this nifty site Wildcat JobLink and applied to everything that looked like fun.
Most notably:
- A museum guard
- An actress in a commercial
- A cashier at a restuarant
- A LOT of student aide positions
- A company called Mad Science that gives presentations to children grades K-8 about SCIENCE!!!!
This company called me and we had a phone interview, but halfway through their phone died. So I'm waiting to hear back from them. I really like the idea of this job. I worry I mussed up the interview by speaking too much though. I get nervous on the phone with people. I sound like I'm 12 over phone lines. But seriously, this job would be SOOOO fun and SOOO perfect. I want.
I met some new people. Some of Sean's friends and also some of Victoria's friends. They all seem very nice. I hope I get to know them better.
Zac and I ate dinner together the other night (I made pasta and garlic bread, he made salad and brought cookies). It was so fun. I love this man(boy)(guy). Afterward we chatted and went and played volleyball with some young singles. We aren't very good. But both of us got some pretty decent ups and Zac had some great saves. Then we went to the other house (that is how I refer to my other friends' house. Because there are too many of them to just choose one for the house to be labeled in her name only). And it was great seeing my dear sweet friends.
I went to lunch with my old roommate (Brittany, not the old old roommate) and her boyfriend. He is very nice and they make a cute couple. I'm excited for her to get back in town tomorrow.
I went to some volunteer training for this Focus on Success program. It's for the scholarship program I am in and I figured since they're paying for my school the least I could do is help some newbie freshmen get oriented with the program. Plus I got a free tshirt and free lunch. I timed myself walking from my apartment to the student union. It only took 11 minutes. And I was walking slow. AND on the way there these two guys stopped me and at first I was like "Oh, they're going to preach" but then they just asked if I wanted to play soccer with them. I was flattered. Not only did I not know them and they took their time to introduce themselves to me and invite me to play soccer with them. But they also assumed I could play soccer. So I guess I'm sending out that sporty casual vibe. Which is cool.
I'm going to the temple tomorrow (after volunteering of course) and then Brittany should be home and my friend Isaac is moving down here and so hopefully we'll have some crazy good times.
Well, great news, Mad Science just called me again and he is going to call my references now. So fingers crossed, let's see if there are enough nice things people can say about me.

The Pinky Touch
Jenkin's dating advice:
You can see why we broke up.
Nothing to do with the fact that he went on a mission.
Okay it had everything to do with the fact that he went on a mission.
I do miss this kid.
And Kira too.

Happy Birthday Ezra Bean
This weekend was my cousin's first birthday party.
I wasn't going to go, but then my roommate Amy's boyfriend's car got totalled and they were planning on going to Gilbert before... She was pretty distraught and illogical about not being able to go (we're talking saying she would just buy a car illogical) so I decided to drive down and take them with me.
Due to some unfortunate planning and lack of communication I couldn't make it to Ezra's first birthday. But he was so partied out that I doubt he'll remember. Those infants know whats up.
Instead I spent more time than originally planned at Amy's house. Her family was very welcoming and fun.
LunaBug didn't like her youngest brother, Daniel, very much. Anytime he moved anywhere Luna would bark and growl. When Amy's other brother, Aaron, got home her family was telling him to pet Luna (who was on my lap on the couch). They were saying things like "She's a good judge of character. She growls but won't bite. She barks at Daniel." as he walked over. When he got to the couch I extended my hand and said "Hello, I'm Luna."
Wait for it..
Ha. Ha. But he had already met Luna so my wit was wasted. Woe.
Amy, Sean (her boyfriend), and I went and saw the construction site of the Gilbert Temple. Those were the holiest elevator shafts I've ever seen. As I was looking at those elevator shafts I was reminded of the primary song... Only joking. The construction site was rather anticlimactic.
In other news, Chloe moved in on Friday! She's great. My room is no longer half empty. She brought a muffin from Mostly Muffins (because she too is from Yuma). Let's just say if that keeps up I already know who my favorite roommate will be...
Also on Friday I went to a party. It was really fun. They had a bouncer... That's when you know its legit. My friend Victoria and her cousin and a few other people planned it. It was in a house that overlooked the city lights. And they had a sweet dj with laserlights and fog and whatnot. I partied it up.
Anyway, I have to go get ready to go to church with my family. :)

In other news, Chloe moved in on Friday! She's great. My room is no longer half empty. She brought a muffin from Mostly Muffins (because she too is from Yuma). Let's just say if that keeps up I already know who my favorite roommate will be...
Also on Friday I went to a party. It was really fun. They had a bouncer... That's when you know its legit. My friend Victoria and her cousin and a few other people planned it. It was in a house that overlooked the city lights. And they had a sweet dj with laserlights and fog and whatnot. I partied it up.
Anyway, I have to go get ready to go to church with my family. :)

Boise, cont'd
Well Boise was cool. I just did a lot of stuff with Wade and often Rachael and Tiffany and other neat people.
Wade, Rachael, and I went to the Boise Zoo.
We were looking at the bats and I scooted closer to the glass wall to get a better look at one of the smaller creatures. I was imagining the different places it could bite me when I felt something brush up against my leg. I freaked out and jumped back approx 7.5 feet. Not that far really, but in stories it is good to exaggerate. Anyway, turns out there was some braided straw that touched my leg, not a bloodthirsty bat. So I was fine.
We also saw the butterfly garden. That was cool except the butterflies liked landing on me and I don't like having bugs on me. But they were really pretty. I was trying to get a picture of one of them, that sneaky little thing flew off every time I pushed the button on my camera. It took 4 shots to get one with the butterfly actually in the picture. It was somewhat of a tease.
Then we were looking at the penguins. I moved to the other side of the room than Rachael and Wade to get a better vantage point and when I turned to the side..........
JENKIN WILLIAMS was standing right next to me.
I panicked and tried to hide in the corner, but it didn't work I guess. So I shook his hand and we had an awkward goodbye.
It was like when you see someone in the grocery store and chat for a bit and then say "Well I'll see you on Sunday!" and then run into each other shopping in the produce section like a minute later.
Or when you're walking with someone to your respective classes and you say "okay I'll see you after!" and then they walk into the same building as you.
Good times.
I saw Kira the next day (on purpose this time) and she gave me a letter from Jenkin. It was good to hear from him. I do miss being able to ask his opinion and hear his thoughts on things. He had some good insights, and even if they weren't intelligent they were at least funny. But they usually were both.
Now I'm back in TUCSON!!!!!!!! with LunaBug and Amy and Kirstin. Those are my roommates. Also Bert's sister Chloe but she has yet to move in. Our apartment is darling. It's two story (first time living in a house with stairs) and it has a yard and a washer/dryer! The first night I was here I did some laundry and the dryer never shut off. So my clothes dried for 10 hours on high heat.
I went to a dance on Friday night also. It was fun, but there was a social emergency that made it imperative for me to leave early. I went grocery shopping. That was cool too.
On Sunday I went to 3rd ward and 5th ward. I love 5th ward. I don't have anything against 3rd of course, but 5th just feels right for me.
Also, in July I read a lot. 6 books and I'm working on a 7th. I suggest them.
They are:
Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr.
Hunger Games.
The Host.
Book by my aunt that isn't yet published.
And now I'm reading a mormon book but I can't remember the title and I'm too lazy to walk upstairs to figure it out.
So that's my life for now.
We got internet today.
I danced with happiness.
Jesus installed it.
Jesus from Cox.
I made some sacrilegious jokes when he knocked on the door.
