I've contemplated starting a blog for a few months now. It started when I'd come across strange things at my two summer jobs-Indian weddings, gypsies coming to the pool with lawn flamingos, and how parents say the darndest things to their kids.
My jobs then reached an end and hardly anything interesting happened to me for some time. Then once I got to college I realized there are some weird people here too. Telling stories to those around me and my family is fun, but after about the third time telling the same story, I get a little tired and it doesn't seem as interesting. So, as always, I'm taking the lazy way out and putting all the happy haps on this here blog.
I suppose I'll start off with the most common question asked: How are you liking college?
It's awesome! Sure I hate waking up early and walking everywhere (how did the pioneers do that?! They should've just waited a hundred years till there were cars...) but everything else is awesome. Classes at BYU-I are smaller than Provo, so that part I definitely enjoy. I can sit next to the same people every day and not have to try to remember 500 people's names for one class. My English class is the smallest, consisting of roughly 25 people. Next, my science, math, and Book of Mormon class made up of 40-60 people. My psych class is around 80 and my biggest is my American History class which is over 150 students. The professors are all really cool. Especially my History, BoM, and psych teachers. When they talk and explain things, you can really tell they know nearly everything there is to know about the subject. They don't hesitate at all when asked a question because they have so much knowledge just hovering around in their heads!
Next people ask if I'm staying in the dorms. I'm not, my parents spoiled me and threw me in at Nauvoo House. An apartment complex a block away from campus. It's got a kitchen with stove, oven, dishwasher and fridge. Plenty of cupboard space and a counter top. The living room has two couches and a decent sized TV. We have cable which is pretty sweet as well. 6 beds, 3 bedrooms, a bathroom with two sinks and two shower/ toilets. We bought wireless for the apt since the wired internet was super slow... and wired.
My roomates are all cool (for the most part) and we unknowingly went into rooms in alphabetical, matching order: David Devan, Kristian Kyle, and Tom Trent.
I also joined the competitive soccer league through the intramural system deal thing. There are 6 teams, all of which are pretty good. A bud from home also ended up on my team after tryouts so I can remember at least one name (So many names to remember up here!)
There will probably be a post a day up until I've run out of things to recall from weeks prior. Hope I can entertain you through out the year.
