How come the Brimhall always smells like leaking gas? I’m scared I’m going to get carbon monoxide poisoning.

1. Gum should be neither seen, nor heard.
2. Gum should not be “saved” for later on your plate or cup.
3. Gum should not be swallowed.
4. Gum should not end up under my shoe.
5. (In reference to the previous rule) Gum should not be thrown on the ground.
6. Lastly and most importantly, gum should NEVER for any reason be put on trees or walls to make “art”. That is disgusting and disturbing. I would put a picture of what I am referring too, but it makes me sick just thinking about it.

First draft of the baby announcement. What do you think? Any suggestions?

1. One of my fingernails is all rugged at the end and it keeps snagging things.  It has been going on for days!  I keep trying to cut it but it keeps breaking and now the nail is too short to cut.  Terrible.
2. There is an adult ballroom camp going on this week on campus.  I love watching them, they are all so cute.  I hope T.J. and I will be like them when we are older.
3. A beautiful bouquet of flowers showed up in my office this morning. My eyes got wide and a huge smile came across my face, only to find out that they were for my boss.
4. We are going to Lagoon tomorrow with the Derrick side of T.J.’s family.  Last year I took dramamine all day so I wouldn’t get sick, which helped.  But at night when I was laying in bed, I felt like I was still riding roller-coasters, leading me to puke all night long.  Needless to say, I’m getting very worried about what this weekend has in store for me.

I think I should go to grad school.

I have always wanted to get a master’s degree because I feel like a bachelor’s degree just doesn’t cut it nowadays, but actually doing it, working hard, applying, going to school for 2 or 3 more years doesn’t sound as appealing.

And I don’t necessarily need a master’s degree with an undergrad in advertising, so is there really a point to going to grad school?

Should I just apply and see what happens?

So here’s the deal, if I decided to go to grad school:

I will graduate in April 2011 with a degree in Communications, Advertising Emphasis.  I really enjoyed my internship and learning more about social media marketing and I loved my marketing class last semester.  So that makes me think getting an MBA would be good, with an emphasis in Marketing.

That means I would have to take the GMAT this fall and apply by winter semester.

I also have enjoyed my general communications classes, especially media law and media audiences.  So maybe getting a master’s in Communications would be good.

That means I would have to take the GRE this fall and apply by winter semester.

Also, another thing I need to consider is living situations.  T.J. also will be applying to grad schools (he wants to get an MBA as well).  So finding an area where be both can find grad programs is going to be tough.  I would really like to stay in Utah because we pay next to nothing for rent and it is seriously saving us so much money.  Tuition for grad school here at BYU is very inexpensive compared to most programs, so that’s another plus, but who knows if I even have the grades to get in here. And on the other hand, moving away would be cool so we could experience a new place and live it up before we have a family.

Gosh, so many choices!! Please tell me your advice, thoughts, feelings, experiences, etc!
