my observations

in the first two days as an suu student, i have already noticed several differences between this and the school i used to attend, good and bad and in between...these are in no particular order, but the first one is the first thing i noticed on my way to my first class on the first day of school:

1. hardly anyone had headphones in on their way to class...maybe it's the shorter distance between classes (as compared to byu) or the stronger desire to actually talk to people between classes...i like to think it's the latter...either way, i felt singled out and put away my iPod for the first time---ever...but really, people are friendlier

2. people smoke

3. people swear

4. guys have facial hair!!!! (i'm more than thrilled about this one)

5. my g.e. history class is going to be fairly easy (huge, but pleasant, shock there)-no papers, tests are non-cumulative, 50 question, multiple choice, all taken from study guide

6. my teachers are prof. or dr., not bro. or sis. (that one's going to take some getting used to)

7. a class of 35 is considered BIG

8. i went into the library to work on a project and the circulation desk lady told me where to find the cd and book i needed...i sort of stared at her for a second, then got the hint and got it myself...weird

9. i was the only one in the study area of the library on the first day of school...even more weird

10. I LOVE IT HERE
peace+love

p.s. i have a crush
his name is joe
he's going to ask me on a date
(that's my unwavering optimism talking-but let's face reality and my luck, he probably has a girlfriend)

i pod emergencies

i'm in love
so good live...i don't think 70% of the crowd knew what to expect when they arrived...the thought process probably went something like this:
"twilight concert series, gallivan center, free, pot, i'm in....who is bon iver?"
and when he played i heard things like this:
"his voice sounds like a girl"
"has he hit puberty yet?"
"how old is that kid?"
okay, so his music is NOT for everyone, but i loved every second of it and my company was great...plus the back of a motorcycle was my mode of transportation...that may have been the best part
afterward
my ipod is a vital organ...it is always with me...i whipped it out at this concert to show my friend a song and he said "really, why do you have your ipod? we're at a concert"
(this is the ironic part) "you never know when you'll need it...like when my car broke down and i had to wait two hours, i would have died without it..."
i left my car at work and for some odd reason i had left the lights on (i arrived at work in said car during broad daylight)...i realized this once i was in the car and it wouldn't start...my friend had left, plus he was on a motorcycle which (as awesome as it is) would not have been able to give my car the needed jump...so, while i waited for my rad uncle to rescue me, i whipped out my baby and rocked out to brandi carlisle completely content with life-despite the fact my car was dead...
peace+love

listy thingy

so this "24 random things about yourself" going around...
today i found 8 pairs of perfectly functioning headphones in my room
that's all you need to know about me...if you know anything more keep it to yourself... its probably no bueno
and because i love you, here's another song...don't judge

peace+love
