Honors classes and Jared the Subway guy

So I have a lab at 8:00 am on friday mornings. I knew it'd be tough to wake up for, but I figured that I'll be done with classes before 10 and the rest of the day is free (except work at 1) So I struggled out of bed this morning when my alarm went off and climbed up the 101 stairs to campus (106 if you count a tiny little staircase between the Smith Field House and the RB). I was pretty tired by the time I got all the way up there. I went to my class room building only to find a sign on the door: "No labs this week"....

Just so you know, I've got 2 classes with labs and one of them did have lab this week so I thought both would. I was very disappointed, but it was good b/c I got to go home and sleep. Sleep is always bettter when you don't expect to be able to have it, but then you get it... and you don't feel guilty about sleeping through class or anything.

Oh, and yesterday, after work, Sarah and I had this bright idea to eat in the cafeteria (since we get half price meals on days we work). While we were eating, we decided to make it a weekly event. Might as well eat there... Well, by the time we had walked about half of the way back to my apartment, we decide to nix that idea and then hurried the rest of the way home and to my bathroom.... There's a reason you stop eating at the on campus cafeterias.

So I went to the airport to pick up my mom. My sister is hopefully being picked up by my brother right now... hopefully.... Then we went to Rafaels in Sandy. They've got really good nachos, and the tacos are also tasty. I usually get a chalupa, though.

I'm trying not to get behind in my classes and I actually think that they are all pretty interesting. I'm excited. I dropped my Geography class, though, because I realized it was an Honors geography class.... I hate honors classes. Everyone there thinks they're smarter than the rest of campus. Well guess what??? WE ALL GOT IN TO THE SAME BYU!!! You don't have to pass any special tests to join the honors program. You don't even have to be smarter. Really, if you think about it... it's much dumber to take honors classes. As long as you pay attention and do your readings, you can learn the same stuff. even if it means not writing 2 extra papers a week and having a 500 point project on the climate of Kenya and how it affects the general population compared and contrasted to Saudi Arabia... And no curve. The world is the world and you don't need an honors stamp on your degree.... The way I figure it, Id' rather have a 3.5 and no honors classes than a 3.0 with the special recognition of being an "honors student".

Anyway, that's what I think about that. Did you all realize that Jared the Subway guy is real and he really lost about 250 lbs by eating subway 2x a day and waliking for 30 min. a day? It's true. Be more active, people. Don't get heart disease and don't let your kids sit around watching tv or playing video games all day.

That's it for now. Seeya later....

    I want to get another one, actually, b/c we have 2 bowls and I think it would look nice. Plus, they're cool.

  3. by the way: does anyone know why my blog doesn't enter returns? When I type it in there are paragraphs and such, but it just comes out in one big ramble when it's published....

  4. You have to hit return twice. Or manually enter the code of < br > or < p > (at the beginning of a paragraph and) < /p > at the end. (oh and you have to take out the extra spaces, blogger won't let me post this tip without the spaces)
