Dear Cuteboy, do you come with a manual because I don't really understand you?

Today was awkward. I almost burned down the house cooking bacon. That doesn't really apply to the story though. Here is the low down, ps it's a long one so go grab some popped corn to munch on.

My lovely alarm goes off at 7:30 in the morning and of course I laugh and turn it off. I then wake up at 8:40 to get up, put my hair in a bun, put on a giant sweater and leave for class around 9:05. Cuteboy was late to class as usual and so I informed him of what he missed. Let's be real he'd be failing if it weren't for me, I'm such a good future girlfriend. So anyway the teacher passes around the roll and cuteboy reaches for my pink mechanical pencil to put and X by his name. You see we have an unspoken agreement that he can use my pencil because he doesn't ever get one out and I always do. The teacher told us to discuss things in groups but me and cuteboy just talked. He then made fun of me for making weird faces while I tried not to fall asleep. After class finished cuteboy got up but waited for me to gather my belongings, we then ventured off to the science building together chatting about peeing out pants. He jokingly said he peed his pants recently, I said the same thing but wasn't joking. He didn't know that though. We stood in the science building and talked about random things for a good 10 minutes and then this group of people came by, they were getting a tour of UVU. Cuteboy insisted we pose so we did but then we felt weird because people were watching us instead of laughing at the tour guides not funny jokes, so cuteboy started walking. I followed because we were having a conversation. He started heading towards the men's restroom and I felt odd. In my head I thought what do I do if he just walks into the bathroom, um awkward. Luckily he just got a drink and then we stood awkwardly by the bathroom continuing our convo. Next cuteboy decided to walk over to the wall and look at posters, he doesn't inform me of these random moves though so I just feel as if I'm following him. We talked about one poster and then he just starting walking again. I was confused to the max. Was I following him? Was I annoying the gajeebers out of him? How am I supposed to know, I never really catch on to these things. I figured that wasn't the case and just kept on walking with him. I said something along the lines of where are you going? He then said I don't know where do you need to go? Don't you usually go downstairs? (Part of me now wonders if this is code for would you leave me alone you creepy girl). I replied with I usually study over there but I have nothing to study and I need to go to the bookstore. Where are you going? He said he had to go into work soon and started walking again. I felt weird and welp you guessed just kept walking. (You think I would know better). After about 15 steps past the bookstore doors he said oh don't you need to go there? For some reason in my head I decided I was walking with him to the building by his car (I think sometimes I think things in my head that I want to happened and then I think they will. They don't though). I said why yes I do actually and then was about to turn around towards the door when cuteboy started walking towards the book sale. I was confused again, do I follow? Or do I walk to the bookstore and just leave him be? Obviously I chose the stalkerish path and walked with him, we discussed books with each other and an old lady and then walked towards the bookstore. In the bookstore I said hmm I don't really know where to return something. Cuteboy said me neither. My sister works here though and walked off again. I then felt so odd and confused. Was I supposed to follow him? Or was he trying to lose me in the bookstore because there are a lot of good places to hide there? I chose not to follow him this time and just went to the main desk for help. While I was in line cuteboy came up and said this is where you return something. I said ya...I know(that's why I was in line home dog). Then he said okay well I have to go to work, have fun in Vegas! I told him to have fun at work and wherever he ends up going for spring break and then bam he was gone. 

Awkward right? Well I guess I would say it was almost awkward. I just really don't understand. Was he trying to get rid of me the whole time? Was I a really annoying creeper girl? Honestly I don't feel like I was and I think it's safe to say that if a boy sits by you every class, walks with you after and then stops to talk with you for awhile that he somewhat enjoys your company. I'm often confused by the men folk, but this just straight up baffles me.  I seriously need to take a class called Understanding men and the weird things they do. 

Love, Sholanda aka men confuse me.

Lent

I celebrated Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) by being gluttonous. Now I'm ready for Lent, today being Ash Wednesday. I Looked up Ash Wednesday online and how to observe it. It is for reflecting quietly on your personal relationship to God, and setting some time aside to grow in holiness. Ash Wednesday is a good time to think about what's really significant in your life, or life in general, and to try to set your priorities straight. Receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation during Lent, if you're Catholic. If you're not Catholic or you're not religious in a formal way, you can simply contemplate the meaning of Ash Wednesday as the beginning of a time of repentance, reflection and prayer. Think about fasting on this Ash Wednesday, whether giving up one meal or abstaining from food the whole day. I'm not Catholic but I thought it'd be nice to celebrate more. I'm all for celebrations. So for lent I am fasting from one big thing. I am giving up.....drum roll please.......SUGAR. Ahhhh! Me? Not eat sweets? Yikes. I'm real scurred (gangster speak for scared). I can do it. I can do hard things. Wow. No sweets. I'll just have to be sweet myself. That was some word play, trying to throw in some humor for this blog post. But seriously I'll have to just eat fruit all the time to curb my sweet tooth. This will probably make me skinnier and give me less cavities, so that's good! Happy Ash Wednesday! What are you willing to give up for lent?

an upper for my downer

so...I might only blog when I'm upset. so...I'm going to say something positive and conceited.
I have the coolest shoes out of most people I know. Try and find someone with cooler shoes than me. Maybe you can find someone with a cool pair of shoes that I don't have, but overall I would win in a shoe-off. So that makes me cool in the world. I'm cool. I love myself!

Love, Mepisha

Life is full of...sometimes it's full of rejection and why's

I recently quoted myself saying, "How can it not be a great day when it's today?" But I don't feel that great anymore. Sometimes I decide it will be a good thing to apply for leadership positions. Sometimes (and by sometimes I mean every time) I decide to do that, and I get rejected. Why do I let people talk me into these kinds of things? (And when I say people, I really mean myself.) Why do people tell me I would be good at it? Why do people tell me I would be good at it, then interview me? Why do people tell me I'd be good at it, interview me, and make me feel great about the interview? Why do people tell me how great I'd be, interview me, make me feel great about the interview, and then give me a scripted r-e-j-e-c-t-i-o-n? Huh? Huh? Huh? This is depressing. FML worthy? Probably not. But totes wouldn't qualify for MLIA. I don't even feel like finishing my EFY application to be a counselor. And this day started out so well. I think I'll skip studying, watch a movie on Netflix, and be asleep before 11pm. Happy birthday Justin Bieber. Next year you'll be an adult. Woot.
