FDHUM-101 aka Humanities

This is my favorite class of the semester. The official name of the class is The Heroic Journey. It's pretty much the journey of art from the creation til round abouts the 20th century. We were assigned this photography project due on Friday the 15th. We had to have a picture with an apple theme, as well as a portrait and a landscape. These pictures have to follow some rules of photography like the rule of thirds and so on.

Sharon and Trevor helped me with my apple pictures. The class grades these, the top 10 get As, the next 10 get Bs..so on. So they reallly have to catch the classes eye so they will vote on them. This one is like the tables have turned, instead of robin hood shooting apples off little john's head, the apple is shooting the human :)

Thanks to Trevor for making the awesome costume for the apple!
This next one is my favorite, I think.



Here are my portraits. I love this one...


This is my teachers favorite, I asked his opinion.


I love this one of Max, but I'm going to go with the one of Jayne because that is Brother Williams favorite.


I don't have my landscape yet, but I'm on the lookout for a good spot. Tell me which apple picture you'd on!

Adventures with Kelsi

This is the coolest person you'll ever meet. Kelsi! She's awesome, and that pretty much sums it all up. We chill at her apartment and mine, while watching Glee! Raising Hope, Bones, and the Office. Movie nights too, and pretty much anything we feel like. We're pretty sure we're sisters, we're so alike.
A few weeks back, we were bored, so we headed to the Bookstore. We sat there for hours in our nook reading the new Jack Weyland book, and then we realized that he signed it! Ahh..if only we had the moolah to buy it.













We also do this thing were we borrow a pen from the store, get some paper from our backpacks/pockets/strangers, wherever we can find it, and we play mad libs. One time there were some guys in our nook and we used their names in the mad lib. It was pretty fantastic.








These hair flowers are bigger than our faces. Not gonna happen...


This is such a cool picture!! But alas, no $$ to buy it.


These sticky notes are the coolest. they're spinny and rainbow colored. This is the kind of thing that makes life worth living...Jokes. But seriously..Its the latest in Sticky note technology.


Whoever designed this little set up had us quite impressed.


Ah yes, quite witty.



















Bahahaha I love it

Sweet shades! Well..acutally we looked for the most ugly ones


Don't these look like Dad's reading glasses? Except more..yellow? I thought so



Kelsi's the BEST! Gotta love her :)

First day of school!

Yeah so I was going to have my roomate take a picture of me outside, but it was raining really hard and my roomates weren't home. Who knows where they went?! Though, I should be my sisters keeper. So this is me on my first day. Backpack packed and ready to go!


I decorated my notebooks nicely, my room roomate, Henna, thought I was majoring in art. I didn't think they were that great, but I guess she did

Mom, I had to go sock and underwear shopping by myself. But I got the same brands we always get :)

What to wear? I didn't know. So I just went with a jacket over some random shirt, because it was rainy and cold outside.


That's it! ...
Just kidding. I'll talk about school. My first class was at 7:45 am. Introductory Foods. I have this class only once a week, twice on thursdays. The first half is the lecture, the second half starts at 11:30 and is the Lab. So at 11:30 I went back to the Clarke and we partnered up and looked around the Lab, but we didn't make anything today. That'll come next week :) I'll be pretty well fed on Thursdays.
So then I walked home, in the rain, and got on the computer, only to find out that one of my classes for tomorrow has reading assignments due when we get to class. I've been working on that all afternoon (I kept falling asleep). Thats my first day! I love you guys.

July 10th

[If you haven't read "the prom guy" then dont read this! Go read the previous post first]

Its Saturday, a really busy day for Wal*mart. I'm working in the Boys and Girls departments, but since I've finished both of them, I decide to check out the Men's department to make sure everything is lookin good.
I happen to walk down the sock aisle and I see those two chinese looking men again, but I'm not really sure if they're the same guys. So I look around for the Prom Guy. There he is between the George suit coats and the Wrangler belts.
"Heeeey" he says
Nan:"Hi how are you tonight? Didn't I help you with socks last week...?"
Prom Guy: "ya ya I think thats aight"
Nan: "Well do you need any help tonight? What are you getting?"
Prom Guy:"oh, I'm just driving my friends around"
Nan: "Oh i got it. Well that sounds boring"
Prom Guy: "ya but s'alright s'alright. So what brings you here?"
Nan: "work. what about you?"
Prom Guy "work. I'm from California"
Nan: "oh i'm from washington!...the state"

This is where i notice that not only is he still wearing his Prom gettup, he has a huge silver cross hanging from a chain around his neck.

Prom Guy: "well coo coo. so uh..do you like some work?"
Nan: "...uh ya i guess its not too bad"
Prom Guy: "Aight well...can I get your number?"
Nan: "yeah sure"
Prom Guy: "s'alright. coo. oh uh ok what is it
So i give it to him. Then he leaves. That was the end of July 10th 2010 at work.

Sunday July 11th
I hear nothing from the guy

More to come

The Prom Guy


Well, this is quite a long story, but I've been encouraged to share it, and it is pretty funny if you ask me.

The day is July 3rd. I'm working at Wal*mart and I see a few chinese men walking around in the mens department. I think about asking them if they need help, but I didnt want to get into a situation where I might not understand their accent, so I walk away. I see them looking at socks. Lots of socks. They walk away with them.

They come back with another man following them. A man dressed in suit pants and a black vest. Looked like he just got back from prom! He smiles at me, and I smile back because its my job. He walks to the socks with his two friends. By the way, the friends are older, like in their 40s, and the Prom guy is looking 20ish.

Prom guy comes to me a few minutes later. His accent is very..strong "Heallo. Can you help me with suh...suh...um some socks?"

Me: "of course! What do you need them for?"

Prom Guy: "zum...work"

Me: "ok do you need white or black?"

Prom guy: "White. My friends brought me some baby socks. about this big (holds hands about 3 inches apart)"

Me: "haha ya they were in the little boys sock aisle. I'll help you out"

So I help him out. We pick out some nice socks that will be great for whatever his work is. Then they left and the rest of the night was uneventful.


Want more to the story? I bet you do...Its coming.

Home in Idaho

Jayne and I took continuous pictures. Pretty cool if you ask me. Except that I dont know if it'll take the pictures seperately instead of one big picture. owell.

Then Sharon decided to get in on the action...just not the continuous action

Max is pretty much in all of these, but he didnt really know it.


Even Max is doing the silly face in this one!


This was at the theater when we were trying to figure out where our tickets from Z103 were

And in the theater right before the previews. We had to sit in two different rows

I love living in Idaho!
