My Past Week:

So seeing as we have all been lacking on our family blog I thought I would share in brief my past week so that you can get a glimpse into Elise's fab life.

here we go:

1. I came home one day from 10 hrs at work to find

and

waiting for me inside from a dear friend. So I have now started reading Alice in Wonderland, which I have wanted to read since watching the movie with the same friend. And the beautiful spring tulips are still in our lovely living room!

2. At my SAME work where I've been working 10 hrs days twice a week (until recently with my new summer schedule) I had a funny experience with some co-workers. We do online marketing and we've received a lot of new clients lately so they were deciding how to divide up the clients. I got a phone call that went something like this:

Ryan: "Elise on a scale of 1 to 10, ten being the best, how much do you like dentists?"
Me (trying to be nice since it's work): "um I don't really care either way.."
Ryan: "Ok I gave you a 6/10. So that ties you up with Ashley."
Me: "um..ok."
Ryan: "oh wait hold on. Dan is going to spin the bottle to decide who gets the 15 dentists.". . . (spin) "Oh and it looks like you got the dentists. Congrats."
Me: "I better go floss right now."

So yes. I got my new work assignment because 3 guys a work used this:

haha. made my day. work is always this good.

3. I have been studying for finals like crazy an still have 2 more. Old Testament and Latin. Old Testament doesn't sound hard...but I have been postponing it and am likewise doing just that. ;) Latin is also another fun final, scheduled for the last day of finals. I struggle with that class but have the coolest professor Duckwitz. He is from Germany and is the sweetest man. His laugh is contagious! And he worked with Pres. Benson as a translator in Germany. Smart Man.
Anyways my studying has gone something like this:

4. I've been watching Shakespeare movies like crazy for extra credit in my Shakespeare class. One of my poor friends has seen most of them with me. Every time he wants to hang out I'm like ok, but we have to watch one of my extra credit movies. So we watched out last one together on Sunday before my final today. The movie was the 1965 version of Othello. Hilarious. Othello does not appear to be a real black man and Roderigo's wig is ridiculous! wish I could have found a picture of the wig for you. but here's the false black man. I feel like that makes the play more racist.


5. Ate OCTOPUS SUSHI! EW! Can I just say that the suckion (sp?) cups were still on and it was WAY rubbery chewy disgustingness. Sushi = good. Octopus = bad. I was cornered not only by a friend, but by the waiter. So yes, I woman-ed up and ate it. Regret it yes, but now I have bragging rights. Brothers: I don't think I have even told you. But look how brave your sis is!
I do not recommend it. Stick with Spicy Tuna or the Vegas roll.

6. My dear roommate, giggle buddy, and cousin Sarah left me this week to stay in Vegas for the summer while I remain in Provo. And she took our other fun roommate Liv for the week to party in Cali. Not able to be with them and missing their sexy bodies, I am feeling a song come on....and oh course it is a cheesy one. Sarah, Liv--this ones for you guys.


7. And last but not least: I AM SOOOO EXCITED FOR MY VACATION HERE-


I cannot wait to be home to visit with all my friends and family. I love you! Till Friday!
