i cant walk. i blame this bed.
i got a really weird rash the other day, and then it went away. but my roommate got it too..but hers hasnt gone away. so question..can you get a rash from mold..because we have all sorts of mold in our shower. soo..hopefully i dont die.
i love my new job :) i mean, all i do is wipe tables and crawl around on the floor and wipe things, but it's fun! mostly i am just SO thankful that i have a job. SOOO thankful!
umm school is good...suuuper boring. i feel like i'm really not even doing anything! but it's fun! you should see all the drawings i do during class! today i was in class and i opened my notebook full of my arts and the boy next to me looked over and just busted up laughing at me. i a little bits wanted to die, but you know whatever.
and then i am walking to my next class (down the worlds longest stair case) and i was listening to music and i was having a grand old time and BAM. i fall down the stairs. and boy oh boy did i fall..and you know when you fall and you make weird sounds? yeah, i did that. and then i just sat their with an owey butt laughing my head off at myself..and everyone thought i was so crazy, but it was funny!
anyways, i just want to sit here and curse at this mattress of mine :s
OH! tomorrow i am doing my first classroom observation! HORRAAAYY! i am excited, but actually really nervous. oh well, i'll let you know how it goessss!
anyways, sorry i am so boring. i dont even have any good stories..you'd think i didnt do anything all day..but trust me. i do. :)

a rude awakening.
DISCLAIMER: this is me pouring my soul out. so i am sorry that it's boring. and i'm sorry if it makes no sense. but just let me be.
okay, so i have kinda been slacking in my scripture reading and praying. i guess i kinda find it hard to do it when i go to bed later then my roommate and then i dont want to turn the light on to read (because heaven forbid i even take my book into the other room). but anyways, today i decided i needed to get back into the rhythm of things and to refocus my life...it's funny what god will show you in the exact moments that you need it.
i was on my computer wishing i could turn the light on to read, but then i realized that it is the age of technology, and i was pretty sure that somewhere on this world wide web i could find something that would allow me to read without turing on the stupid light. so i did :)
i randomly clicked on enos and i guess every single word he said in that tiny little book was exactly what i needed to hear. not exactly what i wanted to hear, but what i needed :) enos was such a strong, and full of faith man and i wish so badly i could be more like him. it's funny how simple it is, trust in the lord and how vast the blessings you recieve are. i wish i could be better at this then i am :s
i love the difference that i can see in my life when i focus my life towards living it how the savior would want me to. it's getting harder and harder i guess you could say, living on your own and everything. there are a million things being pushed at you and you have so many things to stress out about and i hate how i've been slacking off, and not letting the lord into my life.
SOOO. blah blah blah, i know i am kinda being boring so sorry. but i just want to challenge everyone...if you've been slacking on your scripture reading..pick up that book of mormon and read it because it will change your life, and you'll see that things just seem to go in a better direction and you can make it through the day without calling your mom and crying to her (okay, mostly that's just me that does it. but you know..insert your own issue in place of mine)
but anyways. i love jesus :) aaaand i'm starting to love college (well..i wouldnt say love. but i am beginning to be able to live through the day a little bit.)

who says?!
who says college is fun?!
who says you make a lot of friends in college?!
because seriously, i'ma punch them in the face if they say that one more time. but i guess it's getting better. i figured something out about college though. people work it up so much to be this huge thing..and so i was expecting something big and huge and terrible. i had anxiety attacks about it. but then i sat down and realized..."wait a second, college is just school!" haha i know, what a lame statement. BUT it's true. i worked it up so much in my head that i was expecting..who knows what. so i was just all stressed out about it. but no, it's just freaking school still. which kinda sucks, but you know..you do what you gotta do. and i'ma do this thing!
i got a job finally :) after applying to over 40 places. I FREAKING GOT A JOB! horray for me. it's at cafe paesan. it's like an italian version of cafe rio and i'm not going to lie, it's delish!
i've gotten so fat though, i swear. skinny roommates that eat all day is going to be the death of me. because not so skinny mallory eats all day with them. NOT GOOD. but i guess it's good that i'm poor because i dont have money to buy food, so therefore..once i run out of the food i currently have. eating is over. haha
anyways, i am alive. kinda. i'm just wishing i wasnt so tired all the time. and sometimes i wish i was better at making friends. :/ it's not easy for me! i'm not one to just go up and be like "oh hi waht are you talking about? oh my names mallory."
and then the whole issue of "so..what do you do for fun?" comes up and uh HELLO. that is my least favorite question in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD. becasue i dont do anything for fun! i dont know how to answer that freaking question! i always just awkwardly laugh and say "oh..you dont want to know" but uh hello. in reality..i dont have a freaking answer for you. so please, i beg of you. do not EVER ask me that question. because i dont have cool talents. i dont do anything. so just dont ask!
anyways. dating life? yeah. not there yet either so dont even bother asking.

super awesome things that give me the smiles
Helloooo folks! crank up your speakers, and get ready to get sucked into some websites that will make you smile...and just give you a nice break! i hope these make you as happy as they make me!
1.
2. http://1000awesomethings.com/
absolutely everything on this list makes me so happy, because it's so true! i dont know why, but sometimes you have to be reminded of all the awesome things around you. :)
3. http://www.insanewiches.com/
seriously..who doesnt love a good sammich!? i sure do!
4. movies that make you laugh over and over and over again no matter how many times you watch it. what are they for me you ask? currently house bunny :) hahaha. i just cant get enough. BUT you can never forget baby mama. what a classic! i'm sure there are more, i go on kicks. but my all time favorite movie? edward scissorhands. LOOOVE IT.
5. reading a super good book that you want to pass around the entire world. aka. my sisters keeper. i LOVED the movie, and then last summer i found the book at walmart for like $4, so i was like oh! i will read it in kenya! yeah, i never did. but then i took it to thailand and started reading it. needless to say i got SUCKED into it and couldnt stop. anyways, i loved it. everyone and their dog should read it. i'll let you borrow it. i promise. sign up now.
6. puppies. babies. and anything that cuddles.
7.
aka. this is my favorite song in the world. i listen to it every morning...sometimes twice. but usually three times :) i dont know what makes me so happy about it, but i secretly just want someone to bust out a uke in the middle of some random place and sing it to me.
actually no because i would feel super super awkard and most likely run away with my BRIGHT red face. curse my face that turns red any time anyone even looks at me. it's not like i can help it! and i especially hate when people are like "OH MY GOSH YOUR FACE IS SO RED." okay, hello. thanks for that JERKS. i know it's red. i can feel it all hot and awkard. it's not like i was sitting there all awkwardly just wishing my face would turn bright red to make the already awkward situation even more awkward!
man..some people.
anyways, remember that list i made..things that give me anxiety. yeahh wellll i forgot to add something to it!
but i guess it kinda goes along with the whole mascots thing..anyways. i'll tell you.
it's called i am so so so afraid of taxidermy animals. moose heads, deer heads, EVERY animal at the bean museum at BYU. i cried...CRIED! when my mother took me. granted i thought the bean museum was where they made stupid freaking beans or something. nobody told me the truth! and i was like..5.
or maybe 8. but it doesnt matter. i hated it. maybe i just felt bad for the dead animals. or maybe i was afraid.
i'm going to go with the afraid one.
i am also afraid of the dinosaur museums...
oh! maybe it's just big things because i am super freaked by huge things that are..tall. haha.i probably shouldnt let myself write on my blog so late..i just blab about things that are super awkward and embarrassing.
anyways. i NEED a pet piggy. like the little ones that stay little forever..like in uptown girls.
this is another one of my favorite movies that i've seen wayyy too many times.
:)
here's something that made my day this week. making sugar cookies at work-
resulted in consuming half a carton of frosting...WAY too many sprinkles and awesome mickey mouse, star, moose, and heart shaped cookies.

whims and watermelon
everyone has done at least one thing in their life that was completely on a whim. it doesnt have to be big...but sometimes the bigger the better! it is probably one of my favorite things to do...it reminds me that i am in control of my life! i love it!
anyways, the reason i bring this up...i gave in. i cut my hair. and let me just tell you..i CUT my hair. i absolutely love it though. it is super short, and freaking so easy to do, and honestly...i have never felt prettier. i would have never thought that because you'd think i'd feel like a boy or something..but alas, that is not the case. I dont really have any good pictures of it..i swear every time a camera turns on and my face does like..super ugly things so i just am really embarrassed to show anyone them. buttt here is one that you kinda get the idea of how freaking adorable i am now ;)

okay, i lied. this one is super ugly. how embarrassing.
anyways, i want to know what everyone else has done on a whim! have you ever just been driving and....decided you needed a little vacation orrr..i dont know! bought something super expensive without really putting some good thought into it? i really want to know! i feel like i need to do things like this more often.
also, sorry about the centered words. it automatically did it anddd it wont let me change it back. or maybe i am just crazy and somewhat handicapped with technology (which is a rather large possibility)
oh, and the watermelon part. i LOVE watermelon. i wish someone would buy me one a day...ahh. i would be the happiest girl on the planet earth. and i love sunflowers, and daisys. soo much. they just make me happy!
so this summer has been awesome. i just want to say that. i cant even believe how fast it has gone by..i swear i was graduating YESTERDAY. and now i've already been to thailand, got a job, quit that job, got a new job, went sailing, been to EVERY free concert at pioneer park (yes, that was my summer goal. i guess i still have a few more to go. i dont know why i love them so much..mostly for the people watching. it is one of my few talents.) i have partied at the farmers market, melted in the sun, got a blistering sun burn (you have to make that mistake at least once every summer), drove through the canyon for my first time, rode a segway through portland, picked berries, and seriously...soooo much more. i cant even believe it.
but now i am unhappy to announce that..i move to orem this month.
i guess it is a bittersweet announcement for me. i am soo ready and soo excited for all the awesome things that are ahead..but it is probably the scariest thing to me EVER. what is wrong with me? i can go to kenya, and thailand without my parents..no problem! but send me 30 minutes away aaand i am having a freaking anxiety attack! something is seriously wrong with me.
oh and also, does anyone know if there is somewhere that teaches meditation. i really want to do it!
anyways, this is me signing off!
WOW! i'll be in bed before midnight for probably the first time this whole summer! :) go me.

this is kinda embarrassing
okay, i dont know if anyone really knows this about me..well probably everyone does but i just feel like talking about this anyways. i have this huge fear of probably the stupidest thing on the planet earth...
mascots.
i know, it's like something a freaking 3 year old would say, but trust me i have tried so hard to overcome this fear. (by the way, i looked it up, it's called Masklophobia--the fear of mascots..i'm not the only one!) but anyways, i have just tried to talk myself out of this for soo long but it's not working. i am convinced that once i finally find someone to date (heaven knows when that's going to happen) but WHEN i do...one day he'll surprise me and be like the freaking mascot of something..and that will be that because i wont be able to talk to him ever again!
anyways, i was thinking about my past experiences with them..and i dont even have a traumatic one..BUT i do have this memory of when utah had the indoor soccer team Freeze or whatever the heck their name was. they had this FREAKY mascot...it was like a giant blue bear looking thing with dreads. (i tried finding a picture but i couldnt. okay, actually i didnt really try that hard. but you'll get over it)
so we had like season tickets or something, i dont even remember. all i know is we went a lot. and one time we went with these people in the neighborhood (i've had a crush on one of their sons since like...age 6) so blah blah blah, we're just at the game having a jolly good time..and then one of the worker guys comes over and asks if our family wants to go on the field during halftime and play one of the shooting games or whatever, and i was really excited at first! but then the fear of having to see that freaking mascot up close came over my entire body and i could not make myself get down on that stupid field. so one of the boys from the other family went in my place.
can i be a bigger baby!?
and at soccer games even know...me being a freaking 18 year old adult...i see that stupid mascot and my stupid heart like POUNDS and i sweat! once i spent the whole game running around the stadium because i swear he follows me everywhere i go. i'll hide in the bathroom foreverrrrrr.
it's kind of embarrassing..i cant believe i am even admitting all of this. i guess it doesnt even matter to anyone else.
oh well, that's all i wanted to say. i always feel awkward ending blog posts..i never know what to say! i guess it's the same with my journal, i kinda just wanna end it mid sentence because i realize that what i'm talking about is soo lame and pointless. so i guess i'll just be done now....
