What happened at ward prayer today:

Our turn to be spotlighted today, because apparently someone in the men's apartment who picked our apartment has a crush in my room-mate, which freaks her out because he sacres her. Oh dear.
But anyway, we did it and... well, you judge for yourself. We picked four categories to talk about after the usual introductions.

1) A weird/ quirky fact about our room-room-mate
  • Shayla on Julie: Julie talks in her sleep. Once she shrieked, "Tell me about it!" in her sleep and stuck out her hand for a "hi-5"
  • Julie on Shayla: Shayla sleeps with her eyes 1/2-open, so I never know if she is looking at me in the morning...
  • Me on Su: Su told me that the state of her room reflects the state of her life. So when her side is messy, I get the point...
  • Su on me: Keshia wears this glow in the dark shirt every night (NOT TRUE- I alternate this and another nightgown but I wear this one more often cos it's so comfy!) and so when I come in after lights out, I use the light from her shirt to see my way around

2) A secret desire of ours

  • Su: Build my own house and live in it
  • Julie: To be a jazz singer-cum-spy
  • Me: To be a profesisonal ball-room dancer (when I added, "which I'll never be" to it, they laughed)
  • Shayla: A football coach (this is SO HER!)

3) What we absolutely love

  • Me: Eating!
  • Julie: Watching sports
  • Shayla: Baking
  • Su: Making out... -Of course she was kidding (or was she?) and it was hilarious because the Bishop attended tonight!

4) A dessert that represents us

  • Shayla on Julie: CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES- because she is desried by all the men, she's sweet and red (Julie's a redhead) and divine!
  • Julie on Shayla: FATTY FUN CAKE- Shayla is so fun and has this ball of energy that goes off sparodically and is so happy to be around
  • Su on me: TRIAL MIX- She's little bit of everything. She has sweet parts in her, she has nutty parts in her, and she has "don't touch me" parts as well. I hate eating raisins, and so the "don't touch parts" are the raisins :)
  • Me on Su: PEANUT M&Ms- Su is colorful and sweet and everything, and she's also nutty inside!

It was great.

Vending Machines WONDERFUL things

I know, the food that dispenses from such machinese aren't the best, but hey, it is

CHEAP (which is seriously the most important thing to me now)

AND

Last wednesday, I went to buy a cookie from the vending machine. I paid for it and as it was dispensing my cookie it

got

stuck.

Dang! Well, it happens right? So happen that there were people stocking the other vending machines at that time, and they told me to pay for another one, and I could reimburse the stuck one.
which was okay with me, except I didn't want TWO cookies and it wasn't WORTH IT to go through all the trouble to reimburse $1.00. But since I was very hungry, I just paid for another one, and this time, the machine dispensed the
stuck cookie
AND
TWO other cookies. WOO HOO!!!
3 cookies for the price of 2?
Yeah!
Funny fact of that day. It made me laugh

Okay is it just me or....

  • Are there seriously more Asians now in BYU? It's like, some Asian Invasion or something... There used to only be 1 Asian out of 1000, and now it's 1 out of every 50. Weird. I'm not saying it's not good, I'm just saying I'm not used to suddenly seeing so many fellow "bananas" on campus! BANANAS OF THE WORLD... UNITE!
  • Are classes suddenly way more harder than I thought? I think it's because I haven't been to school in a long long time, but they are hard! Plus this semester all my classes are 300 level- HELP! I've so much reading to do and so this post is going to be short because, sorry- gotta go do HW. Ha ha ha!
  • Is it funny that it is STILL SUMMER and HOT in September? I remembered my first year here... I was freezing when school started around the same time and it was cold because Fall had already officially started. So Fall is starting a bit late this year... hmmm... but it's glorious glorious glorious late summer though, so hooray!
  • Does everyone else also feel THRILLED when they see their fellow missionaries on campus?
  • Has the Cougareat just turned into a Legal Mafia cartel or something? Gees, they prices they are charging... what do they think they are doing? Endorsing loan sharks or something?!
