my life...

My life lately has been very hectic!! I end school on the 12th of April and I have 3 more essays to write or finish writing for english. I have one paper left for New Testament. I have to make a color board for Textlies. Thank-goodness I only have like 2 ten question quiz's in Pearl of Great Price, and they are easy. And then I have drafting, I have to draft: one floor plan, one kitchen elevation, one bathroom section, a finish schedule, and a RCP (this shows were the lights go and where the switches and outlets go.) this is something that I learned is that the interior designer figures out where all the lights go.

So I haven't even started on any of that and I have 12 days left!!! go thing all my classes are on tuesdays and thursdays so that means i only have 3 and a half day. Most of my teachers have told us not to come on our last day! :)

What else have I done.....

Well I have figured out my rooming for the fall. That was a little hectic. You could ask my mom I called her like 5 times a day it seems like. BUt I am excited where I am moving. It BRAND NEW (like they are building them right now). And it is right across from my school. And it is going to be furnished, washer and dryer in each unit, granite conter tops, brand new energy saving appliances, huge walk in closets, kitchen, living room, fitness center, theater room, close to work and school, and internet and tv. (they give us a plasma tv.) so after saying this I pay $290 now and then in the fall they are raising the price to $310. And at this new place I will be paying $335. So for all of the extra things I just said I will any be paying $25 more. For me its worth it. A lot of people its not. But I am ready to get out of the place. I like it, but the internet SUCKS and I want my own kitchen.

Any ways what else have I done...

Well I was riding the Trax with some of my friends to go to California Pizza Kitchen (my brother gave me a gift card for my birthday and I have been saving it for a special day) any ways. SO we get on the Trax and this homeless guy is sitting on the bench and we are all standing. Well he starts to talk to me. And I being nice talked back. Well he invited me to sit across for him. So I did, so Im not rude. And he asks me all these questions like where Im from and also where I lived. I did not tell him that one. well the right place where I lived. ANd then it was time for us to get off and I told him goodbye and it was nice meeting him. And then he went to shack my hand and I shook back. And then he kissed the top of my hand.........lets say I was freakingout when we got off the Trax and thank goodness my friend had hand sanitizer. Dana is dyeing laughing, she is like crying at this point. Looking back it was funny. But at the moment, no.

Oh I also went to my cousin's baby shower. Congrats Marisa!!! And i loved seeing everyone. And my uncle and my other cousin fixed my tires! And my car. its running great now! I just got to get my oil changed. but i just don't know when with school, homework, and work. But I will figure out something.

So I think that covers it all.

Love Cassie!

Writer Block.

So i am writing a paper about Go Green. And how being "green" has taken over our society. Well I wrote my intro super fast. And then my mind went blank. I have so many ideas, but I dont know where to start. And then its also a research paper sort of. So I have to have 5 sources. And I dont have them and I wont have them till tomorrow when I go to school. So I dont want to start with out them. But then I would only have Wednesday to write it, cause on Thursday we have peer review. But I am have been procrastinating all day today. And I just cant get myself to write it with out the sources. So am I going to write it. I dont think so. It was Laundry day again. I swear it seems like it takes longer and longer every time I do laundry. But today has been a day looking for apartments for me. I am most likely going to stay where I am (where I dont like) or go to this place called the Seasons. Its bran new, like they are building it right now. Granite conter tops, living room, laundry in the unit, brand new appliances, BIG walk-in closets, fitness center, two bathroom two bedroom, plasma tv included, internet/cable included, and fulling furnished. And it is right next to my school. I meen RIGHT next to it. I really like it, but I have to think about it.

So I am so ready to be done with school. I have 4 more weeks of school left and I can wait till Ems, Jared, Mom, and the girls come out!!!!! I am just ready for some parties this summer!!

At weight watcher, after 3 weeks of not going, I forced myself to go. And I gained 1.8. But for three weeks being off of it I thought that that is bad but at least I didn't gain like 5 pounds or something. But I bought I lot of food so that I wont go out to eat somewhere. And I am not going to eat at the Carriage Cafe anymore. For one thing, I ran out of money on my meal plan, the second thing is that its expansive, and its not the best food for me. So I am going to bring my food every day. PB&J anyone!?!?!

YUM!!!

Well Have a great week!!!

Love,

Cassie

Green day!!

So today is Green day, I found this out when I went to school today and I noticed a common color on everyone. Green. Lets just say I forgot. I knew it was this week and I knew it was today, yesterday, but when I woke up this morning it didn't cross my mind. I got dressed, got ready and walk to school. When I walked in to class what was I wearing a purple shirt from The Gap. HAHAHA. It just makes me laugh. But for once I didn't get pinched. I guess thats a plus. Anyways...... today was a good day. I had a good time in my classes and then I Skype with the Girls, jared, and ems. oh and mom in the background. But for some reason they could hear me but I couldn't hear them. weird. it seems like that happens every time. But I LOVED seeing the girls!!!! They were soooooooooooooo cute!! I cant wait to see them in on April 12th!! They are coming out here. Jared, Emilee, Mom, and the Girls are coming out to see me and the fam. And then help me move out of the Plaza (this is where i live now). And then Ems and Jared and the Girls are living the 19th. And then me and Mom will start are drive home. Yes I am coming home for the summer!! I cant wait to see everyone!!! And to be home again. Go to some amazing dance parties. Sleepovers. staying up till the wee hours of the night (even though I do that in college). Oh and did I mention Smallville the latest season (with Kendall!!!). Oh and maybe a trip to Atlanta to vist my much missed family the Stokers!!! Its going to be a great summer fulled with hard work. I am going to have 2 jobs maybe 3 if i can find another one. nanny anyone???????? I'm great with kids!! And I love them to death. Well im off to bed. I cant wait to see all of my Alabama friends!! And to sit on the Blake/Fellows row in church!! haha.

LOVE,

Cassie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALY!!!!!!

So today is my best friend Aly's birthday! We have known each other since 4th grade. And we have been best friends ever since. We had a couple of hard times. But it made our friendship that much stronger. I love her so much! And she is so amazing and spiritual. She is so close with her Father in Heaven. And he loves her and so do I. Me and Aly have gone many places and eaten many things. (mainly guacamole!) Here are some of the things me and Aly have done together!

We have had many dinners cooked by our moms and both of our houses.
Look how little we are. (this is the Fellows old house)
Tons of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners together!
We went to the Senate metting place (i think thats what this is)
We have been to The Producers, I remember someone had to cover Kent's eyes during some parts.
We played basketball against each other and then in Middle school we played on the same team, but we did practice in the church gym together a couple of times.
Look its proof that Aly did once Love Molly!! haha. I had to throw that one in.
The three amigo's at the Lake House, watching movies.
We love the water!!! But we hate the sunburn after words.
We like to wash cars together.
We were Egyptian once. And this is proof!
We have seen The Lion King, so this is two Broadway musicals we have seen together!!
We love taking pictures of our selves!
We love the beach and yes we have bereid (spelling?) ourselves in the sand.
We have solved a Mystery together.
We have been to New York twice and Chicago once. Oh and we have great friends!
We have sang together, MANY times!
We have been in 4 musicals together. And we have a secret, to help us sleep when we are backstage.

And we have made it through Elementary School, Middle School (that was rough), and High School!!

I love you Aly and have the best day ever!!!!!!!

Love,

Cassie

Sunday! :)

If you didn't know today is SUnday! The best day of the week! I love Sunday!! Its a day where I can relax and think about my week. and the week to come. I love Sunday because I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! I am Mormon!! Yesterday me and my co-worker, Whitney!, were talking about me being a Mormon. Whitney has lived in Utah all her life and is now going to Utah University. She does know about Mormons but she was just asking questions about certain thing. Its was a really good talk. I loved it! And we both learned a lot. So today I wanted to bear my testimony of this church.

I will start it out like how we start it out in my singles ward.

Hi, my name is Cassie Blake and I am from Alabama and this is my second semester her at the LDS Business College. I know that this church and this gospel is the truth! I know that family can be together forever. I know that I will be able to see my loved ones who have already passed on again. I know that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of the Lord just like Moses and Noah was. I know that Thomas S. Monson is called of God and that he is the prophet of this time and age. I know that the Lord will answer your prayers. If you ask the Lord with complete faith in him he will answer. I know that the Holy Ghost is always with us. He will let us know when things are right and wrong. I love living next to the Temple. the Temple is a great and wonderful place where you can talk to God and he can let you know what to do or just let you know he is there for you. I love living right next to Temple Square. Walking around temple square is so peaceful. You are able to here the sprit, even though out side the walls is a big city with all its noise. I love my family and I am grateful for all of the support that they and my friends give me. I know that I am a daughter of God. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Today the Fellows, my second family, is here visting Aly, one of my best friends who is attending BYU. They came down and went to Music and the Spoken Ward (this is a program that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir put on every Sunday morning) and then they are going to go to church with me. And I am going to sing today at church. I am so excited to see them! And to see Aly. I haven't seen her since Christmas. I cant wait to show them my school. If you didn't know LDC Business College is just one building that had 10 floors. I LOVE it!!!!!!!! The class sizes are small and its is the middle of everything in Salt Lake City. Perfect location!!

Also if you have been wondering about my Weight Watcher Journey and why I haven't posted about it in two weeks, well thats because I have not been good about counting my points each day. And I haven't weighed in because of that. But I have made a promise that I am going to be a lot better this week. So yeah.

Well after church and staying by to the Fellows. I am going to go to my Aunt Di's house where I am going to have some great food and have some great time hanging out with my aunt, my uncle, and my cousins!! We will watch the amazing show the Amazing Race. And talk a lot about everything.

Love,

Cassie

P.S. Dana left me and again this weekend to see her new nephew. But lets just stay I am taking it a lot better then last week. last week I stayed in my room the whole time. But so far I have stayed up with some new friends till 3 in the morning and I have gone to the Temple on a Temple Trip and I went out for Ice Cream with a huge group and had tone of Fun.

HELLO!!! Happy Wednesday!!!

So as I promised I will provide pictures of my last drafting assignment. Drafting last week was sections. It was hard but I think I did really good! And then this morning Me, Dana, Trish, and Sara had omelets for breakfast! I made them and I must say they were pretty dang good! But we decided to have a breakfast homework party! Way fun!!! I took some pictures of that also. So this is a picture fulled blog post. (the way I like it!)

Homework Breakfast Party!!!

Todays been busy running around everywhere, but it was a great day!

I suck at photoshop!

Ok I haven't wrote in a week and I need to get back on track. So earlier this week I changed my background on my laptop to a picture of me and Madelyn. I LOVE this picture!!!!! By the way if you make it on my background of my laptop you are truly loved by me. It gets changed like once a week cause I want to see all of my old friends and remember some loved memories. Well back to the picture of me and Madelyn, we booth had really bad red eyes, so I decided that I was going to fix that. Well instead I deleted Madelyn's eye. And in the frantic moment I saved it and clicked the Xon the top of the window cause I couldn't look at it. Well there was know way to change it back so this picture was ruined. But it was still my background with both eyes on Madelyn's face. I tried seeing if I could save it as a picture, but no good. So I cant get myself to change my background because otherwise the picture with both eyes will be gone. Heres the pic.

Its so sad. :(

On a happier note I finished "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lighting Theft" so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday I read it from 5pm-1am. I loved it!!!! I couldn't get myself to stop cause I knew I was so close to being done. I cant wait to read the next book in the series. Who would have figured that I would have said the I LOVE READING!!!! This is crazy. Its like I need to e-mail all my English teachers and say hey I started reading in college and I love it! Thanks Aunt Ju!!!! your the best.

I love living so close the my family out here. For once I feel like they are my family not just people we come and see when we come to Utah. I love my Aunt Di and Aunt Ju, they feed me on Sundays and let me watch some TV. Its crazy for once my Aunt Ju's kids, my cousins, remember my name and remember who I am. I dont have to tell them who I am and them being like all shy cause they dont know me. And for once I feel like my cousins Lu and Mal, Aunt Di's kids, think of my as a friend. I love them so much! They might see me and a 13 year old like they used to, but I dont think they do anymore. Just the way we hang out and talk. I love playing Michel Jackson with them and watching The Amazing Race. Lives good!

Love, Cassie
