Continuation of Hilary's College Adventures

PLASMA
During college I was able to give Plasma for a couple weeks at the donation center conviently located on main street of Rexburg, a 15 minute walk from my cozy little apartment.

Plasma is 55% of the blood total volume. It pretty much looks like apple juice , as shown to the right (sorry if I ruined apple juice for you). The body creates more plasma quickly resulting in my trip to the plasma center twice a week = $50. For any college students wanting to make a bit of extra cash - this is how you do it, as long as you don't live in California (it doesn't sell). Up until November I was able to give. After that, my pulse became too high to give and continued to be for the rest of my time in Idaho for the Fall. Bummer? Yes. But I'll survive.



Clogging
Hailey and I took a class together this last semester. It was more like a stress reliever three times a week. Our teacher was Gary Larsen and it was the most fun I have ever had earning an A for a class. We learned what seemed like a hundred different ways to do pull backs. Totally awesome? I believe so. If you are dying to see a clip of this clogging it is online at Facebook.com. =]

The New Year's Resolutions

I think that all of these are fairly reasonable. And now that I have made them public I think that they will be easier to keep.

• Become an AVID Blogger (once my computer gets fixed)
• Become an AVID letter writer
• Learn to type with the correct fingers
• Exercise with my mom at least 4 times a week

So, I have spent the last three and a half months up in the frigid cold of Rexburg, Idaho. I took 14 credits and recieved a decent GPA for my first semester. I was able to enjoy the pleasure of walking outside and having my nose hairs freeze... And our eggs would freeze in the fridge... It would get a bit frustrating yet we managed to find it to be comical at the same time. Despite our dumb refrigerator our apartment was very nice. We were the girls of 403 and earlier in the semester we had a beautiful landscape in front of our door.

Pretty isn't it?

Now it is just a pile of snow.

Snow, snow, snow... and ice.

Halloween of 2009:

Ryan and I were an older couple.

I was tired of seeing all these girls use Halloween as an excuse to wear lingerie in public. So we were the exact opposite of sexy lingerie. Clever? We thought so. And I was still able to get a couple of whistles. ;)

~ Makeup was compliments of one of my roommates, Amanda Roundy.

She was in a Stage Makeup class.

More of my first college experience is to come but now it is time for sleep. Goodnight everyone!
