Final Crash.

I was so very close too.

I wasn't going to miss anyone. The scant occasions where I did something social would be negligible, and the few (but good) friends I made here would fade without complaint. Sadly, my invisibility cloak faded. In these, the final weeks of my freshman year of college, I've had fun.
A small but enjoyable birthday party was thrown for me. People I had never talked to before in my ward greeted me by name. I performed my act on stage (without messing up, much to my delight) and received so many kind compliments. I exhausted myself on giant trampolines. I climbed a rock wall and fell off. Intentionally. Three times. I was invited to another guy's apartment, watched Taledega Nights, and spent the night there. I watched Humor U with my FHE sister and serendipitously met up with my biological one and her boyfriend. I've been eating actual food. My sleeping routine has been shattered. I wasn't supposed to miss anyone, but now I will.

Exercise.

If I was always preparing for a talent show, I might be able to keep myself fit.
I might also be perpetually sick with a cold.

Those Delectable Buttons.

"Hold on, something feels delicious here. A button."

A lovely quote, in my opinion.
An article worth reading too.
I know I check Blogger thirty times a day just to see if I received any new comments.

You know you really want to click on that oh-so-tasty hyperlink.

Ah, girls.

Some things are just attractive.
Some things just aren't.

Water Fountains

I find it funny that people will not stoop to drink from the water fountain that is slightly lower in height.
Do they feel like it makes them somehow subservient to whomever drinks form the higher one?
Or is it too much of a strain on their back to bend over a little more for a few seconds while they quench their thirst?
Personally, I have no problem drinking from sinks, which is a much more awkward position and certainly more demeaning.
It's water people. Free water.
Don't just stand there behind me if theres a fountain right next to me.
Silly personas.

Thou Shalt Burn

That's an overstatement. All the same my Book of Mormon teacher has not started off well in my book.
He lectures and forces us to memorize his own bias, and learn the material in the way he thinks is most effective, which I disagree with. He emphasizes things that I consider trivial.
He is forcing us to commune with others in our study, in addition to studying outside information (basically his handpicked materials, whether or not they are specifically religious)
His job is to teach the material and the MATERIAL. ONLY.
How we study should be up to us, whether we use others as a resource should be our choice, using other texts should be optional. I appreciate outside personal input, but I can not approve testing us on his personal opinions and materials outside of the course he is teaching.

Yet, I must grin and bear it. I feel like I'm going to be tempted to underlay my assignments with satire... which isn't good for a religion class, but when it is demanded for survival, what must be done must be done.


Edit: I read through the learning outcomes. 6 (of 7) says: "Know the major characters and events including their historical context within the Book of Mormon."
That is the only goal I deem as an appropriate one for a graded college course.

Edit 2: Let it be known that February 14th of 2011 A.D. was not a good day for this professor.
No, I will not be your friend on facebook. I intentionally rejected your request.
That's fine that you see benefit in having us work together, but it is rather distressing for me. Don't. Make. Me. Do. It.
If you insist on strengthening our testimony as opposed to teaching what you are paid to teach, at least stick to doctrine. DO NOT FORCE US TO ACCEPT YOUR OPINIONS.
Lastly, "Guess the exact answer I'm looking for" is not a fun game to play. Stop starting it.
