I have gained a new skill. I have the ability to actually take the batteries out of my alarm clock while still asleep. I've always been great at sleeping through alarms, that's why I have five or eight set every day. I've woken up before to find that I had thrown my alarm clock across the room in my sleep. Never before though, have I been able to do something this complex. Still a little ashamed about obviously not being able to find the switch to turn the alarm off but I'm completely capable of opening up the latch and pulling on the string to yank out the batteries. I'm a special one alright.

Monday we had a ward social where we got in groups and had to air band. It was quite fun even though we got a lame song instead of some of the other groups who got single ladies. My roommate has been crushing on this boy lately and I can not blame her. He is gorgeous. Because I'm a horrible roommate and she let me, I sent him a text from her phone.
"Oh hey bby. This is Sabrina from your ward. I think you're a hot piece of apple pie. We should go out for texting and scones."
Hopefully one day, Sabrina will forgive me although I am not sorry for what I said.

I also thought I would share my outer body experience I had this week. I have my chem lab Monday mornings at 7:45 but even after the lab, I wasn't quite happy with my results so I went back to the lab later to get some more work in. Because I had already done the experiments, all the students in that class were going to me for questions and I was helping them all. I was pretty much a lab assistant. I even joked around with my prof about it. Anywho, I was standing there waiting for my second phosphorus reaction to finish when I just started smiling cause I realized I was happy and I love doing that kind of stuff. Basically, I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track.

Something a little less positive but nonetheless funny, someone stole my pants. My favorite pair of pants. Really, one of the few pairs of pants that fit me well, was taken from the dryer. They left all my other clothes and left all my other pants. Just my favorite pair. Just my luck. Well, I hope they enjoy them cause they really do make your butt look good. Can't blame them.

I've been searching for jobs this week and it's not going well. At all. No-one is hiring. I feel as if I have been literally everywhere. Even the fast food places aren't hiring. It's a little distressing, and self-esteem lowering. I know that finding a job is hard period, let alone in a college town but I have experience so people should at least want me. Oh well, let's not get wrapped up in that.

Coldplay is coming back to Detroit August 1st for their Mylo Xyloto tour and I'm ecstatic cause I'll be home for that. Tickets went on sail on Saturday but I got to get in on a presale. Problem is, I'm a big fat pile of fail. I woke up too late to do it before class so I got on after class and now all they have are side stage seats which suck. They suck even more if you've previously gotten to see Coldplay 5th row. I can't settle for cruddy side stage seats where the sound will get distorted and you won't see anything well. Because of my high standards, I have been stalking ticketmaster like it's my job. In fact, I'm starting to dream about reloading it and searching for better seats. I missed an opportunity when doing this, because randomly these amazing tickets appeared. They were practically floor tickets but in my head I was like 'Lisa, you can do better than this' because that's what mothers tell you to think. Well, no. I couldn't do better than that. I've lost the opportunity and I'm still on the hunt. I will not let another chance like that slip away again but until that happens again... my fingers are just going to have to get sore from hitting the 'try again' button.

The concert has just reminded me though of how long it has been since I've been to a gig. Some serious post-gig depression started to creep up on me and I desperately needed to go to a concert. Problem is, no-one comes to Idaho. I don't even think we have any venues around here. I don't know how people survive out here. After three hours of research, I realized that no bands I love, like or even tolerate, will be playing in Idaho any time soon. The depression just got worse. My roommates helped though, cause to fix this we went to Sammy's on Friday night and they always have local bands play. I have no idea who they were but they fixed my gig depression for the time being. They weren't half bad either!

Today is the super bowl. In fact, I'm half sure it's going on right now as I type. Can you tell how emotionally invested I am in this? Obviously I'm not watching and I'm depending on my friends to send me links to any of the commercials if they're funny. That's really it for this week. I'm planning on mostly hiding away at the library this week because I have my second chem exam coming up. That 4.0 isn't going to happen on it's own!

Ciao~

Also, listen to my friends awesome band!
