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.

The Recipe to Human Reboot

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.

Done, and yet, not done.

Finals have been taken, and the papers have all been turned in.
So theoretically, I'm done. I still have to wait for my actual grades, but I've got a pretty good idea of them all, and they're all good enough.
And of course, what would an end be without another beginning?
I was hoping that I would have a rather relaxing Christmas, but I'm not sure how well that's going to work out. I've got to prepare for my classes next semester, work on my mission papers, see people I haven't seen in awhile (or maybe, I won't), get gifts for my family, and go back to living as a dependent child for two weeks.
No refuge for the weary, I soon return to college, and then it's back to schoolwork and dealing with hordes of people. My favorite.

Who am I to complain? The wheel will roll on and I will be dragged along with it.
Hobey-ho and so I go.
