Just One More...

I'm almost done with finals. I think I aced the first three. Yay me! They weren't hard. Just one more, and I should do fine if I could get myself to study just a little bit...but I don't want to. I decided I really dislike Biology. I just have to keep reminding myself that after this final I don't have to deal with this class anymore, ever. And then I'll go home and it will be spectacular!

Last night improv class was SO funny. One of the best ones I've been to in a long time. Particularly funny was the concept thrown out that people could "name drop" famous people that they don't know. For instance, "Hey guys, in a few days, I'm going to be celebrating the birth of Jesus." Or, (at a fantasy convention) "Hey guys, I just read this great book by J.R.R. Tolkein." Like that would impress someone. Ah, cracks me up. If you guys want to see some clips of the USU improv club, go to www.youtube.com/theanticsimprov. There are even a few of me (see 1,3,25).

Can't wait to get home! I'll see some of you soon.

Anybody ever seen this movie?


Hey I'm back. My goal for December is to work on journaling and stuff. I stopped blogging because I got busy, and then I didn't want to start again because I was overwhelmed thinking about catching up on everything. So I'm not gonna catch up. Sorry if you missed the last 6 or 7 months of my life.

This post is appropriate, because my last one was about what a good cook I was. I totally lied. If I don't eat at the cafeteria, all I eat is Easy Mac and Cup O Noodles. I just ate a Cup O Noodles a few minutes ago. It was really gross. Last night I went to a holiday pot luck dinner with the AgComm majors. I made deviled eggs cuz I thought it would be easy...it took me an hour and a half and they turned out kinda gross. My professor said they were good, but I'm pretty sure she was just lying to make me feel good. I actually felt more like Mulan.

So has anyone ever seen this movie, "Alan and Naomi?" I had totally forgotten about it until I had a nightmare about it last night. I used to watch it at Granny's house when I was really little. That is not a good movie for little kids! In case you ever want to watch it (or you're Matt) I'll put spoilers in blue and you can highlight to read them: The whole premise is that Naomi is crazy because she saw her dad die, and Alan has to befriend her. It shows, in the movie, her dad's head with blood streaming down it, that's what I had the nightmare about. After Alan befriends her everything is all well and good until something violent happens and Naomi goes crazy again. The end. What a weird show. Kevin Connelly is in it too, as a little kid. Bizarre. I kind of want to watch it again now that I'm older just to see if I still think it's so creepy. You should watch it too and tell me what you think. But don't show it to anyone under the age of 15.

Finals week- better get back to studying.
