Final day of classes

It's been a very chill day as far as classes are concerned. I only have two on Wednesdays but they're spread apart. I have a history class at 12 and then my next class isn't until 4. All in all I've mostly been watching videos on YouTube and getting things ready for reading days.

I only have two actual exams and then one paper due after. The exams are both scheduled, one on Monday and one on Tuesday, which makes things pretty easy. I'll technically get to start my break days before winter semester is actually over. I don't know what I'm going to do w/ the days before spring semester. I need to buy a helmet for longboarding, so that'll probably take up a lot of my time. Lorraine and I also have a little shopping trip planned. I'm in need of new shorts; basically all but one pair of mine are now too big. It's both inconvenient and kind of awesome.

I'm about to take my third final actually, but it's in class which makes things quite nice. I'm hoping to get done before five and hopefully before it rains, because it sure is cloudy outside, so I can go for a run this evening before it gets legitimately dark. My legs are pretty sore today, but I mostly feel it when walking down stairs. I thought yesterday was a perfect temperature for running. Today seems even better. I figure I need to get in all the running I can while the weather isn't terribly hot and exhausting, especially because I like running in the afternoons when it is definitely hotter than in the morning. I could solve these problems by exercising inside, like in a gym or whatnot, but that's not a thing I enjoy doing. I love being outside and enjoying nature. It sounds funny but being outside is just so much better. Hopefully in spring I get to play soccer again because I have not done so all semester. Then I won't have to run as much either. While I do run for the sake of running, it's still not even close to my favorite thing. My friend Trent goes rock climbing a lot and hopefully I'll get to do that with him during spring semester.

There's not much else to report at this point. Exam time never really gives many exciting stories because I really do just spend my time studying and reading and in the library. This semester will prove no different. And just like every other semester, I will study with The Office playing in the background. Well, now that I think about it I realize freshman year gave some fun times during exam week, but those were special circumstances. 

Last YouTube video I watched:

Becca.

She's a cool kid. Here's a picture of her.

She's a keeper, I know.

So this Becca character: she has a blog. Go read it. It's funny. She's about to hit up DisneyWorld for a semester and all her great adventures will be documented there. Sometimes she even mentions me in her blog, so double bonus right there.

What can I say about Becca? I think one of my greatest accomplishments within our friendship was getting her into longboarding. Here is a picture of Becca longboarding.

Whoa, that turned out to be a really big picture. No matter. She looks good, eh? Since Becca is going to be in Florida all fall semester, we won't be able to longboard together until winter semester is practically over on account of how it gets cold in Utah in the winter. Fancy that. We won't get to watch Bones together, either. That's a big deal seeing how she's one of the people that really got me into it. And we can't watch Up together and cry at all the sad parts. Because very few movies make me cry, lots of movies make Becca cry, but Up is one of those that really gets to me.

I could write pages on Becca but I don't think that will be necessary. All I have to say is that one time she ran a red light on the way to the Provo temple. That's a religious place, guys. A place where God is really important. And she broke the law getting there. Tsk tsk, Becca.

If you have any other questions about Becca, I'll be happy to share my wealth of knowledge with you.

Last YouTube video I watched: Evolution of Games

Edit: You may have noticed the pictures on the side of my blog changing. I figured an update was in order. I hope you enjoy the new ones! I had quite a good time picking them out to share.

Things That Annoy Me

I just spent over an hour figuring out how to make it so the numbering on my Word document starts on what is technically the third page even though I want it to start with page 2. So yeah, page breaks and page numbering annoys me.

This is a spin-off of HayleyGHoover's infamous YouTube series "Things That Annoy Me." Make sure to watch all her videos in the series. Hopefully you enjoy a little ranting. Here's five things that annoy me:

1. Rap music.

2. Almonds in brownies/other baked goods.

3. When people think they understand YouTube partners and how people get money off. YouTube. One viral video does not make you money, people.

4. When people leave time on the microwave. What's that about?

5. People's inability to understand the difference between "your" and "you're." It is not that difficult. Just think, "Do I mean for this to be a contraction?"

Other things that annoy me are sure to come again!
