Hey Christmas is coming...

I bet none of you would believe where I am right now. Eleven of the clock post meridian time and I am sitting in my dear Harold B. Lee Library. What nonsense is this? It would seem that I am being most studious and actually studying like the wonderful scholar that I am. Finals are just two weeks away and I need to focus, people! Luckily I have great friends that encourage me to do work rather than just sit in front of a homeworkless computer screen.

Now, you could point out that although I am in the library, clearly I am blogging, and not studying. But I won't let you point that out. Because I just did. So there.

How have your lives been, devoted readers? I'm sure some of you are out there, just dying to hear my next thoughts, since they are always so full of wisdom and insight. Well, here goes:

School is death. Grrr.

There are too many people in the library for me to not be running into anyone I know. I know libraries shouldn't be for social visits, but they're no fun otherwise.

My favorite place to study is the fifth floor women's bathroom. Just pop in my ear phones and relax on the couch, while awkwardly avoiding eye contact with all the incoming and outgoing guests.

Thanksgiving was amazing. Here is what I'm thankful for: family. Specifically aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers, sisters, sisters-in-law, nephews, parents... I think that's every family member I have. If I missed anyone, I love you too.

11:11 make a wish

Did you wish that this post would be over? Because it is.

Ok, ok, I'll go back to my paper outline now. Happy Day, everyone!

No matter who wins, BYU has the best mascot




Yesterday my friend Shawn said this: "You know... dating, and finding your eternal companion is great and everything, but there's nothing better than watching football on a Saturday."

It's clear he was serious because he's 28 and still single. At first I laughed, but then I thought about it, and I couldn't agree more. This was confirmed to me as I spent the entire day watching game after game and realizing that it was a truly great day.

Starting off with the amazing game by my dear BYU with a score of 49-10 over Colorado St. And the crushing defeat of Utah by Notre Dame. Finally everyone knows they didn't deserve to be ranked with their pathetically easy schedule.

Then I watched Oregon very unimpressively beat an unranked California. If only Cal hadn't missed that second field goal! Poor guys. And Auburn and TCU didn't do all that amazing either.

And for a short break from football, we watched yet another comeback by the Jazz for the fifth game in a row to win in the last second. Go, D-Will!

I don't know how many of you knew this about me, but you should have figured out by this point: I love sports. Especially football, but especially basketball, but especially football. I also like tennis.

Death and other happy alternatives to what I'm going through

I am sick.

I have been sick for three days now.

I hate sick.

It's not the "boo hoo I have a cold and it's keeping me slightly miserable as I trudge begrudgingly to all my classes" sick.
No, I wish I were that lucky. It's the "I really want to not fail school, but if I try to walk to campus I might simultaneously pass out and throw up" kind of sick.
And this is the perfect time for me to be on my death bed, because I have two tests this week and a test next week and all kinds of stuff that I can't really afford missing, but I can't really do anything about it.

Also, being sick is booooooorrrrrriiiiiinnngg. All of my roommates keep leaving and having lives and laughing and all that stupid college-y stuff, and I'm like, "Have fun friends. Remember me in my hour of need. I hope you're all happy out there looking down on those of us who are becoming one with our beds."

Blergh.

I'm tired. I have a test tomorrow.

Did I mention I hate being sick?

Sorry this post is so complainy.
