stuff i've noticed

I'm not a huge observer, but when I do observe the world around me, this is what I see:

1. Middle-aged people run funny. This is something that I've noticed from several adults that try to run. I'm not saying that I look like a model when I run, but some adults just look so awkward when they run. Like they are in agony as they attempt to keep their ams still as they are getting from one place to the next in a hurry. When they were in their youth I'm sure they knew how to run, but its like they are reverting back to when they were really young and running was an awkward event.

2. My chemistry teacher is cartoon character. Those of you that have seen The Simpsons, keep reading. My teacher is exactly like the science nerd from the show. He even has a nasally voice like the cartoon guy. The only thing he's missing is the glasses, but I think I could arrange it to make him wear glasses. I almost expect my teacher to start yelling "Glavin'" like the science nerd. If he would say that, it would be the happiest day of my life!

3. I'm a terrible Sunday School pupil. So, I was called to be a Gospel Doctrine teacher in my ward and I taught my first lesson last Sunday. I was extremely nervous to teach this class because I don't know a whole lot about the Old Testament. The Sunday before that I even fell asleep in the class! I didn't comment and didn't read the lesson before hand the week before either. Well, ever since teaching yesterday, I realized that I am a terrible pupil for church classes. I did see a girl that was "resting her eyes" during my class, and I had to just laugh to myself because I thought, "if I wasn't teaching the lesson, thats what I would be doing."

4. I'm not very observant. I haven't observed anything else. I'll try and observe more stuff that happens in Idaho so I can write better observations some other time.

A Return to Wednesday Top and Bottom Ten

A long time ago I had a feature called Wednesday Top and Bottom Ten, but I only did it a few times. So, since I am sick of studying (I'm only 3 days into the semester), I've decided to start this feature once again.

GOING TO SCHOOL AT BYU-IDAHO

Top Ten

1. It's easier than BYU-Provo.

2. I can say things like "up a crick" without people laughing at me.

3. I'm smart enough to get a scholarship here. As opposed to BYU-Provo, which thunks I'm dum or somethin.

4. Super-fun roommates who I can laugh with till I cry.

5. Playing croquet with my friends Dan and Jessica. We want to form a club because it is such a cool sport.

6. Doing what I like, when I like to do it.

7. Meeting new people.

8. Having bonfires in the wilderness. Not some wussy bonfire, a real one. It is Idaho, there's nobody around to object.

9. Being within walking distance of almost everything in town.

10. Playing Ultimate-Frisbee on an intramural team.

Bottom Ten

1. No free food.

2. No free Rent.

3. No car.

4. Having to wear long pants or skirts on campus. Even in the summer time! No shorts or capris allowed on campus.

5. Seeing the really hick cowboys with their nasty wrangler jeans and huge belt buckles. Where do they come off being skinnier than me!

6. Being away from fun friends in Provo.

7. No good dance studios to take classes at. I suppose I could just teach somewhere if I could find the time.

8. No Provo Fro Yo. The best frozen yogurt in town!

9. Not having a TV in my apartment, so no more being a couch potato. Now I HAVE to spend my time studying.

10. No more competitive all nighters playing "Settler's of Catan" with the family. Its such an addicting game. I believe I'm going through withdrawals.


There you have it! the top and bottom ten reasons for going to school at BYU-Idaho. They aren't in any particular order, except for the first three things in the bottom ten.

gone studyin'

Today is my last day in Provo for quite a while. I'm moving onto bigger and better things. Rexburg, Idaho. Okay, so its not exactly bigger or better, but I am moving. I think that I have been in a sort of denial about moving because I didn't even start packing till a few hours ago. Now I am just procastinating by writing this post. I'm giving up free food and rent (I invested in the living at home deal), to take a killer chemistry class, english, a communications class, general psychology, religion, and a golf class. All this during the summer. I must be crazy because I'm also paying for this torture. Hopefully the golf class is worth the money. I'm hoping to become the female version of Tiger Woods, just not black. I can't change my race, but I would if I could. well, I better get to packing. Maybe after a good game of sudoku.
