Madness I tell you... shere madness

finished my first day of classes... that was hellish.

I have buckled down. I am actually doing the assigned reading, and trying to do a bit extra so that when I eventually "fall behind" I will actually be exactly where I am supposed to be. My enlgish class is called "Inquiry into Madness" and it is very interesting, and the teacher is hilarious. We are reading "One flew over the Cuckoo's nest, and some people in the class had already read it, and I hadn't, so I made this ambitious desicion to read the book, before she starts assigning reading, so that it's easier to understand the second time through. I have a problem with reading. I just don't like it. But this book is pretty interesting, so it shall be interesting.

I also had psychology today, which was a huge auditorium style class, and I wasn't expecting it to be so big (and neither was the teacher) but it'll be fine as long as I sit in the front.

I also had my math class today and the only thing good to report is that I met a really cute guy. He's not gay (as far as I can tell) and he's older than me. We got in these groups to do the stupid word problems from the book (speaking of which... I must go look at the book because it's not my thing...) and like, the teacher would assign a problem to the group, and this guy would have it figured out before any of us could think about it. Which, in all honesty sucks for me, because I need to be able to think things through.

I also had Choir today, which was awesome and amazing and all of those wonderful words. I love it.

Then after that I went to the Institute building and signed up for three classes. I am also going to be volunteering at the Tennessee School for the Deaf. I had a nice conversation with a man that works at the school, and he gave me some names and numbers of people to contact about volunteering there, so we shall see how things work out.

Other then that Institute was nice tonight, and then I went to the library, read a BUNCH, and now I am going to get in the shower and go to bed. Tomorrow I will wake up around 8:30, go to the gym, do some homework and then go to my one class of the day.

3000 Heat Units Happier

Ha....hahaha...I can't possibly laugh any more...



The first thing about this picture that is absolutely hilarious is the tampon and it's...placement.

The second thing is the reference to his food consumption habits of last night.


aaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Stare and Scare

I don't think I've ever laughed so much in my ENTIRE FREAKING LIFE. Here are some memorable quotes:

-Brandon...you just ate 3000 calories...oh wait...this little triangle means...oh...that's with out mayo. oops. (A McChicken, plus a BigMac, plus TWO double cheese burgers, but a large fry, a large soda and a McFrezey thing. ah! I about died laughing.)

-Jessica...why are you double cupping? (I am honestly aching as I laugh at this...again. What comes after this line?...) Quote, grabs your BREASTS before they run away. GAH!

-Messy Britches, what's wrong with you!

-Can I get my McFreezy with MiracleWhip instead of mayo, I'm trying to cut back...

-Gosh Clare....you're healthy. (Clare says:) well ya know what...shove it! Here Brandon...eat my lettuce... (And so he stuff the biggest piece of green...stuff in his mouth and says:

-Well, now I've had two double cheese burgers, a McChicken, a BigMac and a salad!



Ok...I was in absolute stiches the entire time, I started almost hyperventilating, and by the time we were leaveing, I was coughing up blood (thanks to the lack of oxygen reaching my lungs!)...but the we just laughed more. GAH! We had 6 people crammed in the tiny car where we proceeded to play "stare and Scare" down the main drag of campus. OHMYGOSH. The funniest thing ever. So here's how this game works.

as the "it" person is kind of leaning out the window a bit, but not in an odd way...just average, like, he stares at a pedestrian on the side of the road and right as your passing them you scream. It is the funniest thing in the entire world. Like, for those of you lucky enough to see my panic attacks (which in actuality are very funny after the fact) this is like...amazingly entertaining, so much so that we went up and down the road three times before going home! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... lol. ouch.

-There are rules to this game...you can't scare just any body. You can't do it to foreigners, black people, homeless people, hobos or anybody with a handicap sticker.


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Yeah...just about died laughing. SO FREAKING FUNNY.

Any ways, I know this probably isn't as amusing to any one else, but I had an amazing time!!!

Yet again I got in....extremely late last night. It seemed like the numbers worked out nicely last time, so I shall try that again!

1. Yesterday when I got back I went to bed around 7:30 or 8, and then I slept for an hour. It wasn't like, relaxing sleep, because I had to wake up in time to be at the church by 10 in the morning (so leaving at 9:30, so being awake by nine....) and so it was more of a closing my eyes and trying to just relax a bit, even if I wasn't sleeping.
2. At nine I woke up, got church clothes on and went to the church. There was another baptism of one of of my friends, and so I went to support her. She's this tiny cute little girl (except she's in her lower 20's) and she is SO happy all the time. I like her a lot, and I knew she would be disappointed if I didn't show up. Lol, she was so happy to see me that she ran out of the picture they were trying to take to 'tackle' me.....i guess is how to describe it. :P
3. After the baptism we chilled for a little bit, then I had to get my car washed because I parked under a tree and had these tiny little seeds stuck all over my car, and I ended up paying $60 to get it all taken off. Which is kind of sucky, but they cleaned the inside really good too. lol. eh. I'm not going to think about it.
4. After that I was supposed to go to a Halloween party at 3, and I had planned on getting there around 5:30, cause it was going to last until 6, but I decided not to. (Cause I was asleep, and each time my alarm went off, I would set it for later, and I finally just turned it off.)
   
5. Tonight for the football game they were supposed to go to this one guy's house, but instead we decided to go to Kelsey's house (because there were no adults there....lol. It's her grandparent's house, but they were out of town....) The game started at 7:45, and I left my dorm at 7:45 and got there around 8:15 (cause I got lost, it should of only taken me 15 minutes, but oh well. We ate food and watched Tennessee win at South Carolina! WOOT! It was a good game to watch, and a lot of fun to just hang out with every one. I really enjoyed it.
   
6. After the game most people left, we ended up with Me, Kelsey, Matt, Brian and Lyndsi there and we watched a movie (She's the Man) and just sort of laid around. I love hanging out with these people. Even doing nothing is cool! lol.
   

Last night I ended up getting home around 3:30, but it was really 2:30 because of daylight savings...so all is good. This morning I am going to church twice...well...sort of. I am going to sacrement meeting, and then sunday school, and then I am going to MY sacrement meeting, and then I will be off like a mad man to go get ready for my concert!!! lol. I am expecting quite a few of my friends to show up, but I'm not getting my hopes TOO high. In any case, my concert is at for, we are performing Mozart's Requiem and Ave Verum (both Mozart pieces, the first being 51 minutes in length) and then I will probably go back to my dorm and SLEEP!!! lol. Something I haven't gotten much of this weekend, but that is honestly ok to me, because I had an awesome time!

Me....and my hair...lol. It may not look like much, but it's fluffy!

MORE LATER....

I will be putting up the rest of my pictures after church/concert. :P

Remember When...

...and when I think about it, I don't remember....but when I don't really care to remember...I can't forget.

Isn't it odd how things seem to follow you around? I am in the concert choir here at UT, and all of their concerts are on Sundays. I knew this, and I still signed up for the choir. Well, I was recently 'called' as the Relief Society Pianist (I play piano in the old lady meeting.) and turns out...CHURCH IS ON SUNDAY TOO! lol. Ok, so I already knew that. But the RS president called me today cause she "hadn't seen me in a while" and wanted to "just make sure you're ok and everything is going smoothly." She is a very thoughtful lady, but lately that hasn't seemed to matter.
---------------------------
I used to be the kind of person where thoughts were as good as deeds. "It's the thought that counts." I called it wholesomely optimistic, always giving people the benefit of the doubt. But lately, this other crude side of me doesn't seem to care if people had good intentions or not. I really don't like myself any more. I know this seems odd, but I actually see a big difference in the high school me and the college me, and I liked the HS me better.
---------------------------
I turned in my English paper today. It is four and a half pages long and not very interesting. Again, back to the "I wish i cared about this" but I truly deeply don't. I stayed up last night doing the final editing, and now I'm just tired, but choir was post-poned until almost four because we're having a dress rehearsal for the concert.

-------

speaking of which, I have a concert on Sunday! lol. We are singing Mozart's Requiem (which incase you didn't know is entirely in latin and hard to sing.) and it should be a good show. We are also singing Ave Verum (another Mozart piece), but I've previously sung it (at Honors last year.) so yeah!!!
----------------------------------------

other then that I recently bought new earphones because mine got lost/broken/stolen or something of that nature, and I gave up looking.
