Being in college and having nothing around but homework...and the internet is a blessing and, well, you decide.
My roomates and I have found some pretty amazing little blips on the internet that at midnight when you've got a couple hours to go and you need SOMETHING to smile about...you turn to these gems.
Item A: The ninja
There are countless others of the ninja but this one specifically gives you that extra smile you need to carry on. (When you get time watch the whole thing because there's really no way to pick a favorite part.)
Item B: Debbie Downer

With this one it's all pretty funny but the funniest part starts at minute 3. So if you decide you need the extra happiness, as I have, skip to 3:16 so you don't feel like you're wasting as much time... Oh and if you don't find this as funny as I do, remind yourself I was watching this while I was a liiiiiiiiitle punchy.
I hope these videos can bring you as much joy as they have my apartment...we've had some good times...

Miracles!
So you may recall from my last blog post I was having some computer/printer problems (see previous post). These problems came at an especially inopportune time because I had an insane amount of work that night and the 2 hours I spent going to pick up the printer at the ASB building and then trying to get it set up was no help getting the work load done. I was up quite late, or shall I say early, finishing all my work. That night in my prayers I asked if He wasn't too busy, maybe I could get some help getting my printer fixed...
The next day after most of my classes I had to finish an essay for a class I had later. When I finished my essay I thought..."What the hey! I'll just try my printer. Maybe it just needed a night to acclimate to Idaho." I turned it on, plugged it in to my computer and lo and behold it starts printing the page that I had tried to print yesterday...I actually had tears of joy in my eyes. Then I printed the essay I needed for that day and out with the essay paper came a little sliver of styrofoam popcorn that was apparently lodged in there somewhere. When I was on the phone with dad I NEVER would have been able to find it...
So coincedentally, only after I said the prayer the very next time I used my printer, out came the pesky styrofoam that had caused all my problems. Funny Huh?
Moral of the story: say your prayers and don't use styrofoam popcorn to ship a printer.

Life and Times
So as usual I've haven't been up on the blogging posts but I may have an excuse this time because college it pretty time consuming.
I finally got my schedule all worked out and I'm pretty happy with it. My classes are: French 102 four days a week. The teacher is pretty cool but this is probably the hardest class I've ever taken. I've never had so many tests before. I might die because of this class but the rest of my class feels the same way so that makes me feel better.
Religion 121 is Book of Mormon and I love it!!!! Awesome teacher! It's quite a bit different that seminary but it's so much fun! Lots of work but it doesn't really feel like work.
Science...it's an ok class. The teacher usually gives us a lot of reading for homework and usually one of the articles we have to read is from a general authority so that's pretty cool. Class is usually pretty boring but the homework is interesting.
Writing is pretty good. The class is an hour and a half from 5:15 - 6:45 so that kinda sucks. The teacher is pretty funny but again class can get real boring real fast. So far, however, I like the work. Essays have interesting topics and good reading and such.
Art 102 is definitely one of my favorite classes. It's a two hour class but it's awesome. I love all that I'm learning (a lot already) and the TAs (who pretty much teach the class) are really cool. I'm excited for what I'm gonna learn there.
Then last but not least is Women's Glee! kind of a beginning choir but it's fun. The choir director reminds me A LOT of Kate Hudsen just the way she talks and her mannerisms. She's pretty awesome.
I don't have any pictures because my computer won't let me upload any pictures until I install something special so I have to call some tech support number for that and get it all straightened out.
ALSO AWESOME my printer finally came buuuuuuuuuut it doesn't work. I was on the phone with my dad for about an hour trying to figure things out to no avail. If anyone has any ideas let me know because I'm out, and I'm gonna have to call another tech support number to fix this one (which will, of course, be awesome).
Other than the technical things...life it pretty good. I'm pretty much busy all the time but for the most part I like the work so that's good!
I'm trying to be better on the blogging...but college is taking up most of my time these days.
