Couple of days ago I decided to get started on my homework for Anthropology 101. We had to read chapter 1 and the syllabus and take the quiz within the week. I decided to just get it over with. I trudged through the first chapter of a book that the professor wrote. It was not thrilling. I took really extensive and thorough notes on it too. Took the quiz, and hey guess what, no questions about chapter 1, just the syllabus. Yipee. The next day in class the professor got up to start his lecture. I kid you not he was reading his lecture right out of the book! I opened up my notes and had more details there than he was giving me then. Me and my friend Jenna then proceeded to play games on our phones instead.
I also added and dropped quite a few classes. I was going to take an intro course in Archaeology, but that bored me to tears so I dropped it. Even though I got a scholarship for pottery, I am not currently taking any art classes. I am taking a fun history class. It's about the beginning of people up to the year 1500. Right now my Geology class is my favorite. It is the most interesting class and even though I hate science with a passion, I am really enjoying the class. I have spent several hours now in their offices using the geology textbook because mine still isn't here. Taking really good notes, reading each paragraph, studying the pictures... It is boring as heck, but it's paying off. Of the two quizzes I've taken I only missed one question on each of them.
There is always something going on on campus. If someone is having a party, Cosmo is out and about, clubs are promoting, other organizations are advertising with free stuff, there is always something. Just the other day there was that ball drop thingy. The other day I walked in the bookstore to check and see if they had restocked on a book I needed. As I was walking past some ties, I ran into the Hosmans! Haven't seen them for years!
The other day I found a friend that goes to UVU. I worked with him at the movie theater back home. We've been friends for like a year now I think. We were both bored so we went to see the 30th anniversary of the movie Ghostbusters!
The family came to visit a few days ago. It was fun to see them again. They are cray and I don't miss the dumb fights but it was fun to see them again. Sometimes when it is really quite and I don't have anything to do I almost miss the chaos. Almost.
Tunnel singing the other night was something special. As you have probably heard, a Sister Missionary, Kendal Levine, was hit by car. I won't go into details because it makes me really sad. I have always looked up to Kendal and really respected her. I used to play basketball with her. She is incredible. She even played in college before she left for her mission. At tunnel singing on Sunday night, we stopped halfway through and had a special prayer for Kendal. I really hope she is going to be okay. My ward has been fasting and praying for her.
Okay time for something happier. We went to the fair last night. It was really fun! I won 8 blue ribbons and 2 best is show ribbons! Not sure how much money that it is, but I'm going to buy some sweats! The fair was really fun. I ate a little bit of fried everything. It was awesome. Funnel cakes are the best. Went on enough rides that I made myself feel very nauseated for like an hour. I really enjoy going to the fair every year. It reminds me when we would go when I was a kid.
Today was the inauguration of BYU's new President, Kevin J Worthen. On all the fliers and announcements that were made, we were told that Eyring was going to be there. At the last minute, and not even the BYU faculty and stuff new this until today, Monson and Uchtdorf came as well! It was really cool! Elder Holland, Oaks, and Nelson were there as well. It was an amazing way to start the day! Eyring and Worthen gave a few remarks, there was the ceremony, and the musical groups on campus performed. It was a very spiritual experience to be there and I know I will remember that for years to come.
