Since I Don't Want to Write My Paper Right Now...

In no particular order...

One- this weekend is the LDS church's General Conference. It is a beautiful weekend full of uplifting music and prophets of God speaking to us. I am so grateful for the opportunity to listen and to heed the counsel of the Lord. I'll probably post something about my initial favorite talk and will mention the other talks many times over the next 6 months (until the next conference). If you are interested in learning more or watching the conference click here.

Two- a little off topic, but a little tip on making new friends and helping a stranger: if you ever are sitting in class and you are taking a clicker quiz and the person next to you has dozed off a bit (but they have their notes and clicker out in front of them), be a kind person and gently nudge them and see if they meant to sleep through the quiz. Most likely they didn't. Not that that happened to me today, oh wait. Seriously! In this class I'm in, we have 3 clicker questions a day and if you get 2 right then you automatically get 100%! Awesome, right? But if you only get 1 right, you get a 66%. Not so awesome. So I literally dozed off in the first like 15 minutes of class and I didn't even realize I was out, until I woke myself up and looked at the board and there was a question- so I tried to answer, but it had already been closed. I asked the person next to me if that was a question, and he said "oh yeah, we had two." Really? You couldn't have just nudged my arm. So, note to self, if I am ever in that situation (because I've never sat by someone whose fallen asleep during a clicker quiz, maybe it's SUPER awkward to wake them up) I will wake them up. I don't care about the awkward-ness. What's awkward is when you know the two people next to you saw you sleeping and just ignored you and let you miss the questions. That's kinda awkward for the rest of class, let me tell you.

ok. end of rant.

Three- I just downloaded a FREE album from the BYU Men's Chorus. I know, right? FREE! If you aren't familiar with this choir, you should be. Download the album! If you are familiar with this choir, why don't you already have it downloaded? Click here to go to the website for the FREE download. Did I mention it was FREE? :) :) I just love free things...like free t-shirts. i. love. free. t-shirts.

Anyway...so 3 little things today...nothin big. beware. I may not post as often when I actually finish this paper of mine. I hope this blog survives once the paper is turned in...I mean, the blog was born when I didn't want to write the paper, and some of my best posts were written in avoidance to the paper...so...maybe I should've titled the blog: Since I Don't Want to Write My Paper Right Now...I'll have to blog about the paper itself sometime- it's actually kinda cool. just not as cool as blogging. or eating chocolate :)
