I've been pretty incognito lately! The end of summer term is very busy! Monday night, instead of regular FHE, we had our Ward Closing Social. We went up into the mountains to Vivian Utah County Park. There was volleyball, soccer, ultimate frisbee, and a talent show. At one point Chris had to jump in the nasty river to retrieve the volleyball. Later, Russell kicked the soccer ball too hard and it landed in the river as well. He wasn't quite as eager to jump in though. He waited until the ball floated down to the road to grab it. The talent show was really good. It was more of a variety show though. Caitlin played and sand "Umbrella" on her guitar, Jennifer sang, Tommy played guitar, the boys sang the Pokemon theme, men's choir performed, Kody played and sang a Billy Joel song, and Matt made up a song on the spot with the piano.
Tuesday was a very long day. First, Arielle, Jordan, Allie, and I went to breakfast and then to the TA Lab for our geological field trip up to Rock Canyon. When we got to the TA Lab, there was a sign from Katy on the door that said, "We left! Come on up to Rock Canyon!" But we were 10 minutes early! So we decided to wait until 9 to leave because Braden (our TA) is notably late. A lot of us showed up and luckily right at 9 Katy walked up! Braden came in a little after. We carpooled up to Rock Canyon and walked around for about an hour and a half looking at all the different rocks and how plate tectonics worked on the Wasatch Mountains. Afterwards, Braden drove us back to Helaman Halls. Arielle and I worked on our papers for about two hours and then were off to conference with Sister Cutler about them. Mine went very well....not much to fix! I was so happy that it was quality. That research paper was a killer. I wrote about Habitat for Humanity. After conferences, we went and chatted with Kody and Tommy on the way to the Cougar Eat. Then, I went to dinner with the kids in my freshman academy with Professor Rash from our Student Development class. Our class was at 5 was all about relaxation techniques. We were all laying out on the classroom floor. A lot of the guys ended up falling asleep they were so relaxed! I was pretty light headed after the class, so I had to get up off the floor very slowly. It really tired us all out but we were definitely relaxed! I was walking back to the dorm and I see Jocelyn, my friend from back home. We decided to go to dinner at the Cannon Center. Afterwards, I went back to the dorm for like 10 minutes and then I was out again with Jordan to the library to see a lecture on "Is Pluto a Planet?" We learned that sadly Pluto is no longer a planet and probably never will be again....at least when we're older we can tell our children "When we were your age, Pluto was a planet!" HaHa! We finally got back at 9pm. All I could do for the rest of the night, was edit my paper and read physics!! I went to bed at 1:30, being the most tired I've been my entire time in Utah.
Woke up this morning at 7:30, English started at 8 and if you were late, your 300 point paper was late! Luckily, we were on time. Sister Cutler brought us donut holes and milk!!!! We then went to the computer lab to start our next project, in groups!! Its an informational brochure luring kids to come to BYU. It is our final. Then, Physical Science was pretty interesting today. We talked about the solar system and the life cycle of a star. I learned that the Sun is actually an average size star. There are actually a lot of stars BIGGER than the Sun!!! Woah!!!! Then we had lunch with Sister Cutler and Prof. Hart. After that, the bed sounded like a great option. We came back and slept for like three hours! Then dinner.....then now! Volleyball later tonight!!!!!
Today was the most tired I've felt in my two months here at BYU. The lack of sleep is finally catching up to me. I seem to be forgetting everything and I can only think about sleeping. Tonight, I am definitely retiring to bed early! FINALS NEXT WEEK!!!!!!
