Mid Terms

I am really bad at trying to do this blog thing.
Mid Terms are starting this week. It's crazy down here. If Mid Terms are this bad, Finals must be cataclysmic. Most kids at BYU use this thing called "yik yak". It is pretty much like twitter but it is all anonymous. People can say whatever they want and no one has any clue who it is. It is also done by area. I can get on yik yak and see what people with 10ish miles of me have to say. It is local anonymous tweets. Many of the Mid Terms are done in the testing center. Mine aren't. Yik yak has been going crazy with people complaining and talking about how stressed they are, how long the lines are for tests, scores, frustrations, and just stuff going on around campus. My Mid Terms really aren't going to be that terrible. For Geology I have to write a 5 page paper on Yellowstone and similar calderas. In Anthropology I have to write a 7 page paper on the people we just read about in a book the professor wrote. Super boring. In my writing class, we are starting rhetorical analysis which I am pretty good at. My history class is making us create pages on Wikipedia with the notes from our class. I really think this is a dumb idea. In that class we are also starting a group project. I hate group projects. Cherry on top, I was hired to make "cougar crunch" which is what BYU calls popcorn. I start that on Monday.
My roommates really aren't enjoying it. In fact, they all just made a pact that none of them would have any junk food or sugar at all for the month of October. Crazy people. At least 10 times a day we have conversations if certain things are okay to eat or not. Two of the skinniest people in my apartment have gained weight since they got here. I have actually lost a little weight so I will not be signing any pact to get rid of happiness.
Tonight is the home game against USU. If I had not gotten into BYU, I probably would have gone there. Anyways, the game is a pretty big deal and people are really excited. Two of my roommates have been camping out with several other students so they can get good seats for the game. I love going to games, but I am not going to camp out a few days before the game just to get good seats.
As much fun as all this stress is, I am getting sick. Something about fall always makes me get sick. After classes and homework, I just sit and watch Netflix. My new best friend. I recommend watching "Parks and Recreation" and "Sherlock". Both are really good. Yep... really busy almost all the time. It certainly is a new experience being out and away from home. I cook dinner most nights and clean the place up very often. My roommates "jokingly" called me mom the other day. Seriously though, they aren't that wrong. I cook and clean more than anyone, I always carry my keys and they don't, I am like the responsible one. Not use to this...
