The End of Winter Semester

I know I have a lot of blogging to do to catch you all up on things, but there's a few important things I need to just say quickly. 

Mostly, I got good enough grades and get to keep my scholarship!!!! Many of you probably know I was worrying.

Sarah has gone home for the summer which weirds me out.

My baby brother got braces which forces me to realize things are going on at home without me there.

My roommate Meghan graduated (congratulations!).

McKenzie and Melissa moved out...weird and sad.

Steve left to go home for the summer and then to med school. Sad.

Anyways, life is good right now, spring classes are going great and I got a minor sunburn yesterday which means I will get nice and brown this summer.  

Here's a picture of the baby boy (I know, I know. He's no baby) with his braces.

On Global Warming

Note: This particular post is likely going to be filled with blatant bias and ignoring of general facts. The end.

So, today in geology class (my final one for the record) I started thinking about global warming. We were talking about how we are currently in one of the six coldest times in all of Earth's history (which is 4.5 ish million years according to most geologists). So the earth has to warm up anyways. It's a natural cycle the earth goes through. I don't particularly care if humans are causing it to warm up faster or not, but I do think I've figured out the reason why people seem to care so much. They pretend it's about the environment and saving the earth and all of that mess, but it's natural for the world to warm up! That basically shoots a big fat hole in that argument. The real concern is that the ice caps and glaciers will melt which will cause sea level to rise and will pretty much drown the coast. Most of the cities that contribute the most to pollution and supposed global warming are close enough to the coast that they'd be under water or at least severely inhibited. These people say it's about nature, but really it's about themselves. That's my two cents. The end.

A fun picture I found because I like pictures.

Also, if you're not already (and like Seriously So Blessed and the like at all) you should read this blog: Normal Mormon Husbands. It's hilarious. And the latest post about women's infatuation with Edward Cullen is spot on.

On Making Out

We had the chastity lesson in church today. You know the one I mean. The bishop came in to relief society and told us how important virtue is which lead to a talk about pornography which lead to what is and is not ok when getting physical with the opposite sex. Well, here is my decision (based on a little bit of paying attention and a lot of thinking and pondering). I'm done. I'm done with this whole wanting to make out thing. Maybe if you're reading this blog you are shocked that I said right there and outright that I have been wanting to make out, but there it is and hopefully you won't judge me. And I know a few of my close friends are going to think this is ridiculous and that I'm just having a crazy moment, but I'm done. I'm not hunting for a NCMO (not that I necessarily was) and I'm just done in general. There is nothing romantic about making out, really. I really like the idea of romance. Do you know how much more attractive it is (to me) to hold hand rather than make out. This physical mess is ridiculous, and I'm done. So, even if I start dating someone, I'm hoping I can stay with this. Physicality (is that a word? if it is, there is no way it is spelled right) is not a healthy basis or focus for a relationship so I'm deciding to be done with it. We'll see how it goes.




Also, Happy Easter.

An Attempt at Coherency

I'm exhausted, so I'm going to try to get everything out accurately and sensibly. Friday morning I got up and got into a bowling class I wanted before I went to school (score one for ginger). When I went to the WILK to wait for marci and sarah. Brother Wright was there too and it was pretty sweet. Then when Sarah came we went and stood in line and I got my planner autographed by Kirby Heyborne and we took a picture with him (score two). We decided to go to the volleyball game and Steve said he'd come along. Noah Hartsock was sitting two rows in front of us. At one point I was irritated at the fan's for the other team and yelled "Suck it!" Noah seemed to think that was funny and quoted it to his friend (score three). Saturday was a blast at conference with a bunch of Meghan's friends and general partiness. Rearranged, stayed up too late and then got up and went to the morning session of conference today. It was amazing (a big thanks goes to Sarah's mom for hooking us up with the sweet tickets). That is my weekend. Sorry this blog post is the most boring one ever.

April Fool's Day

So, it's April Fool's Day. When I was a kid or in high school or anything we never really did anything for celebrating. I don't know if it's because we have so many people that are strange and goofy at BYU, but it seems that a LOT of people get super into it. So, I'm watching and waiting...

Jaimie and Sean like to be tricky on a normal day, so I'm really expecting something crazy. Or, rather, I'm watching out carefully. You never know with those two...

If I was clever like google or something, I would try to play a trick. But I'm not, so enjoy the cartoons and have a fun April Fool's Day.

P.S. Worst joke? The fact that it is snowing today. Seriously.
