Yo, Mepisha here.
Long time no blog, but isn't that always the case?
Since last time I blogged, a lot has happened. Did I ever mention I worked at a scout camp? Well. This goddess here was employed by the Boy Scouts of America all summer as Head Cook/Head Chef/I never really knew my exact title, but I was the kitchen master. My assistant was 67 years old. And oh my goodness was she the sweetest thing in the world. I cried when I had to hug her goodbye. She became my grandmother. And her husband (possibly the craziest man I have ever met...and I know crazy) was instantly my grandfather. My boss became like a father figure to me. I cried when I had to hug all of these people goodbye. After 3 months at a scout camp (which I hesitatingly worked at, but it just felt right), I couldn't leave. Never thought Mepisha would say that. Never did I ever.
Oh, and before the camp, I kissed a stranger in Canada. Fully bearded and everything. Half-French, half-Italian. And that's all I know about him. And that's all I ever hope to know about him. But it was a fun time!
This summer I got up on a wakeboard for the first time.
Also this summer/past while I discovered that I may possibly be in love with someone. Aaand maybe I sill could be, but he's completely out of my life and I'm going to be on a love hiatus for a good chunk of time. Which brings me to my next and BIGGEST news of all:
I AM GOING TO FRANCE. I am going on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the Lyon, France mission. I leave on January 25, 2012. I am stoked beyond belief!!! So really I typed all of that other update stuff just to get you to this point in my life. Let it be known that I will be changing the world and building up the kingdom of God. I cannot wait to devote my whole life to this.
In other news, my roommate and I just decorated our hall for the door decorating competition. If we don't place, or only get 3rd, I am gonna bust. a. cap. Seriously though. I cannot handle getting anything but first place on this one. It's just way too good this time!!!
I'm hungry. It's noon and I haven't had breakfast. That is not okay. No, no no!
It's eating time. Mepisha out!

Alright, well since I am now twenty, I guess I blog, =) It's my birthday and I am twenty and I am blogging!!

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.
