SO I don't have a parking pass! I have a few tickets to my name, I got a boot the other day and now I'm a good for nothing scum bag in your eyes.
Dear parking service lady on the telephone who sounds like the secretary slug from monsters inc.,
I don't appreciate your lack of enthusiasm on the phone. When I call a little frazzled I don't need you telling me in your sassy/blan/monotone voice that I suck at life and will be towed if I'm ever spotted on campus again. Well guess what sally bo jo I've got news for you! I will be on campus again! I will have to drive here, park my car and go to my finals next week! But I will surely park in my rightful spot AKA where the lord never tows... INSTITUTE parking!
But hey you will see my driving around, possibly taunting your service cars, but when you see me on campus are you going to come tow me mid-driving? Well MAM you don't have the right to tell me that I should never be on campus again! Now get a life and stop ruining other people's lives!
Sincerely Rebekah
(YES i understood the terms before I chose to park in one of your lots, but have a little courtesy)
OK I GET IT!!!!!

On the other hand
Dear Student Connections,
I appreciate your kindness in allowing me to get a new ID card even though my Drivers license was not with me. You're sweet, thoughtful and understand how important Hawaii is to me!
Thanks for just being on top of your game and kind to the students of UVU!

Let's hope the DMV doesn't stomp on my dignity now!

So I as I've blog about before I work at an assisted living center here in Provo, UT!!
This place is extremely nice and I have made some of the most incredible elderly friends working there. Most of there are completely sane and completely capable of taking care of themselves... SO it's just more like a classy home for most of them to live out the rest of their daysand not really have to maintain a house themselves!
BUT on the other side aka Enchanced care you will find some of the most entertaining people I've ever met! Here you find the people who are losing it and although they make me laugh often and are just the most adorable people I know, I find myself sad about some of the things they say!!
So we have a man named Jim. He seems completely normal until he asks for his check and talks about being on vacation. He starts saying I think I see my wife... He is looking across the dining room at this lady named Johanna who is always speaking in German.
He keeps saying "Ya, I think thats her" his tables mates are like "Well go and see"
SO he gets up walks over to her and says Hey I know you... She says in an accent "Yes I know you too" He walks away after standing there for a bit and says I'll wait for you outside!! He then proceeds to return to his table where his tablemates ask how it went
He replies "Yes, it's definitely her!"
OH man I wont lie I was laughing the whole time at this scene, but then I became really sad to think that he is always looking for his wife and doesn't realize she is dead!

Working at an assisted living center has definitely made me realize how precious my time as a youth is and makes me choose to be a happier, more positive person who just loves what time I have here on earth!

Remember when you start complaining about life it is a huge waste of time!! Life is so short so choose now to enjoy every stage we go through!

LIVE LAUGH LOVE :)

After one of the most random nights I've had in a while I was driving my little
Nicolio back to her lovely abode and ofcourse she asks me the question what
animal do people say you look like out of nowhere?
Well I really haven't been told any animals in my life unless I forced someone to
come up with one.
So I turn to her and say "Well what about you?"
Instantly she blurts out.. LAMB!
So people I did a little research and looked up the word Lamb on google
pictures. When all the Lamb pictures came up I wasn't sure if I was looking
at the real thing or Nicole.... So please help me and tell me which picture below
belongs to Nicole? Mind Boggling!!!

I've had my arm fall asleep, I've had my feet fall asleep, Even my butt during a long road trip,
But I believe this is the very first time my back has fallen asleep. I thought I was paralyzed for a second. But no worries there is now a tingling feeling and the cold blood is rushing back to bring my back alive again.
Thankyou body for constantly working to keep me alive.

WHOA WHOA Wait
What is this little treat that just stepped into my Institute Libary?
A real life biker?
Ring Check
None
Single
I'll ask!
Wait He just took off his leather jacket and set down his helmet.
Dangit little biker, you may not be the most handsome man I've ever seen, but you sure do pass up all the other jolley boys that are in my new study area.
Well I guess no matter where I am I always have to have a crush on someone, even if I don't want to date them!
Institute Library crush I hope we cross paths again!
Sincerely Yours,
Becky

I'm a lucky lady

"Wait Wait Wait, Did you just abbreviate the Hall of Flags"
Yes Parker I did and now I'm off to go study while I observe my fellow Wolverines.
Hall of Flags on hold I found a better spot, a place where I wont have the temptation to check out handsome young men, watch a UVU tour, or try to listen to the teacher's conversation as they make their laps (I asked Nicole if their figures had slimmed down since the beginning of the school year! Her answer was no. Hope their hearts are healthier atleast)
But here I still distracted by the blogging world as I sit in the Institute Library. I am amazed at how I just completed two papers within one hour. I told Parker that the spirit will help me to get an A! I believe that I was correct.
Anyways as I leave to take my B-room break I find a few goodies within this dedicated building. Artifacts from ancient BOM times displayed nicely within a glass cabinet. Right above these goodies a movie plays explaining a bit of The LDS history. Oh the wonders you can find when you are left in silence and not distracted by the cute boys in my dating and courtship class!

Well Now I know where my studying days will be held as I finish out one of my last semesters here at UVU!
Maybe a masters?
OFF to the HoF to find Nicole

As I'm sitting here in the BYU library doing tons and tons of homework after hours and hours of sitting I decide to be social. I'm just giggling with my little minos and ofcourse walks by a black girl who appears to be smiling at me and waves. I give that awkward smile and then quickly turn to my table of friends and say "That girl just waved at me"
Zack looks at me and with that 'becky you dumbie' smile and quickly informs me that she was waving at him. They all laugh at me and that is that. I once again thought that the world revolved around me and that everyone wants to be friends with me because I'm so fabulous. Back into my shell I go until cutie in the plaid walks by... (Wait my Library crush just left and I didn't even get his digits?) AHHh well it's a good thing my line of vision has been opened up to a new cutie. (One day I'll get the guts up to go talk to one of my wanna be lovers) Until then I am single, mingling and ready to canooodle!

While sitting in my 5th grade class today I had a flash back to my younger years.
I was what you call one of the runts along side with my friend Elyse. All our friends had grown and alot of them had already retired their training bras. Me and Elyse well we were nowhere near wearing a bra yet and the idea of it upset us! So the big day came where all the little boys and all the little girls seperate into two different rooms and are taught about human sexuality aka The Maturation Program! At this program we learn all about how the body changes into a woman and what we need to expect within the next few years. Luckily enough we were all given cute little goodie bags that supplied us with a pad, tampon, deodorant, and a pamphlet about the woman body.
Several of us snickered about the idea of other girls already being on their periods, when in all reality we all waited for that day to come ourselves! (Why? I do not know) Anyways I finally made it into my first training bra... it had a cute little pink flower on it! Did I need that training bra yet? No, I finally realized that I wanted to be like my friends and "maturing"

Well today the girls in my 5th grade class all  received a letter to take home and have their parents sign for them to be a part of this look into the future! The whole class threw a fit!! EWWWWWWWWWWWWW that is so gross Mr. D! (Mr. Dickson is the teacher I work with)
We don't want to go. Oh gross that is sick and wrong! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA oh my gosh I forgot how the awkward stages of life are just beginning for these little divas! No wonder they all bunch up with the girls still and think boys are sick. Well I just sat back and laughed because I remembered feeling the same exact way! All I can say is enjoy your next few years girls because once a month from then on you will be a rollercoaster of emotion with many more side effects!

Remember these little guys?

So I've always heard that a big gulp of Diet Coke is a teacher's best friend, but little did I realize the truth behind the need for caffine before I became a full day teacher! No I do not drink a big gulp of Diet Coke, luckily for me crystal light decided to put caffine in their delicious strawberry mixture! So yes to curb my appetite and give me the energy during my past few weeks as a teacher I have turned myself over to that!

What I'm realizing everyday as a teacher is how much I love it and how perfect of a job teaching will be for me! I go to school and hangout with kids for 8 hours straight and there is never a dull moment. I get to go play with them at recess... I get to go to PE with them, we go listen to the librarian read books, I get to hear all the cheesy jokes the kids have, I see the drama developing amongst the 5th grade girls and realize that kids can be so rude, but so endearing at the same time, the kids love me because I'll joke with them and play with them (and probably because I'm not the person who disciplines them yet)! But I do love the sass that my class has to offer me and I love playing with them and teaching them as well (Even though they can be brats)

AHHHH I only have 2 days left of field and all I can say is thank goodness I get this experience or I might have dropped out of the program last semester after my kindergarten guidance class that made us clap and sing songs for an A!

I wake up around 7:30 and decide to go downstairs and plan my lesson that I am going to teach tomorrow. Within 5 minutes of me doing homework I get a holler to come up for family scripture study with my mom and dad.
Dad: (Yelling from upstairs) Beck come read scriptures with us!!
Me: Ok, you can start without me, I'll be up in a few
Dad: Oh we'll wait! We are reading in 3rd Nephi today and You do not want to miss out!
Me: (Laughing/sighing to myself!) Ok, be up in a few!
I then go upstairs hop in my parents bed and listen to my dad read about the savior coming down and visiting the Americas!
Good start to a morning!
Next my mom gets all excited and says "Let's go make waffles!"
As we are walking down stairs together she whispers to me that she got a brand new waffle iron and is so excited to use it! (She is trying to hide the fact that she bought a new one from my dad because she knows he will have something to say about it)

I go downstairs and wait while my mom retrieves her new possession from the basement... While I'm sitting there in comes my dad! Mom comes up with the new iron and creeps around the corner... As my dad stares at her with his look of "there she goes again spending money" She instantly makes a comment to protect herself: "My old iron broke so I had to buy a new one!"
(This new waffle iron is a double decker iron that makes two huge belgain waffles at once! Considering its just her and my dad at home it seems as though it's very very needed)

Ha I start laughing and say "Ya she threw her old one on the ground so she had an excuse to buy a more advanced one"

My dad helps her set up the new iron and proceeds to say "Happy anniversary honey"
Ha my Mom says: "NO NO NO, just because I bought a new waffle iron does not mean that is my present!"
My dad ofcourse smirks at his joke and puts in a few more words about all the decorations, rugs and house supplies she's constantly buying.
The battle is over!
It's so great to see how opposite my mom and dad are and yet how perfect they really are for each other!

Without my mom I think I might have worn all of Heather's hand me downs growing up, and without my dad I think I would not know how to save money and would constantly be in debt! Good thing they both kept me well balanced!

I'm excited to move back in here in a few weeks for a little while and have these everyday encounters!
My dad
