A Quick Glance into September

So, I just spent the last 2 1/2 hrs updating my blog, and only  got through with the first 7 days of actual College. I told Mom what I did, and she told me to just summarize September ( I don't have to go into detail day by day).

With that said...Here we Go...

The first month nothing really exciting happened.

Well I guess sports started up...Morgan made it on a Competitive Soccer team and I made it on a Competitive Track team. The funny thing about "Competitive" at BYUI is that it's not like real competitive sports. We just go against other teams within the school. There's no such thing as going on a bus and traveling to a rival school and competing against multiple teams. Nope. At least in soccer there are a few teams they play against. In track,  we only have 2 teams (Spartans and Titans). Not much challenge or anything. We don't even practice separately, we practice with the other team. So we know who is going to win and stuff (Not like in HS where we had no idea who was going to win or know who we could beat).

Morgan's also on 2 rec teams for soccer...The Hot Kool Aids (I-team and others) and Bangarangatangs (Ward team).

Sep. 20...Callings!

I am the photographer for the Blue RS! I get to take pics of all our activities. (Nothing happened this month, so no pics.)

Sep. 25...AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

Couldn't help myself running (walking really fast) to Walmart before track practice to get Avengers.

...BEST $25 of College Money Spent...

We watched it after practices. Had Popcorn, Ice Cream flavored Oreos (really good, kinda like cotton candy texture with filling), and skittles!
 
Sep. 27...was first games for both teams.

1st was kool aids...they won 1-0
2nd was ward team...lost 0-3...but Morgan did knock down a guy :)

Sep. 29...first Track Meet!

Went to sign in, BUT I wasn't on the list. I showed up every day (except for Thursday) of tryouts last week, you would have thought I would be on the list. Oh well. Went to dorm and printed off proof (Quizzes) that I was actually on the team. Luckily I wasn't the only one who had this problem, ALL the distance runners weren't on the list. Once everything got figured out, I was able to run (No jersey). Only problem they wouldn't tell you when you were running, so you could never get a good warm up in. Anyway, I ran the 400 in 78.9 seconds. Not bad, but not best. best is 63ish and that's at the end of a 3 month season. Our season is only 4 weeks. Not enough time to get in full shape.

Day 7

Sunday September 16, 2012

Church! Again it is weird going in reverse order (RS, SS, Sac), but I guess I'll get used to it. That means when we go back home for Christmas it will be weird going in the right order :)

We got a new RS. We used to be in "Green", but now we are in "Blue".

After Church, we made Tortillas  and Bean Dip.

...This is the dough (well at least some of it)...

...Morgan rolling out the dough with a cup because she didn't believe me when I told her we needed to bring a rolling pin...

...then we cook the tortilla's on the griddle till it looks like a tortilla...

 

...Voila...These are what they looked like when they were all done...

 After eating lunch, we worked on Book of Mormon till 5:30. We had to read 1Nephi Ch 2-6 and fill out our Teaching Journal AND take a quiz on the first 6 chapters. We got 100%! YAY.

For Dinner, we were going to heat up the leftover meatballs, but when I poled out them out of the Refrigerator they were FROZEN. I thought FREEZERS were the ones that FROZE your food, not the FRIDGE. Oh well, so I just made cinnamon vanilla apple pancakes ( I could live off of pancakes).

Skyped Mom for 2 hrs.

Watched Tangled!! During the movie mom had us check our housing contract. We only signed up for fall semester, so we have to go somewhere else for winter semester. So we might go to Aspen which is across the street and to the right of us (Behind Barnes, only 7ish min away).

Well that's it for today :)

Day 6

Saturday September 15, 2012

Woke up at 8:30. Got breakfast and printed off a Resume for the Doughnut shop. Left at 11:12. Dropped off Resume, then went to Deseret Books (Morg got scripture markers), then to DI (I got a stapler and staples), Walmart (Gum, Deodorant, Tortilla Chips, Kool Aid, and Mini Sew Kit), then off to Brohlems.
Did our first Grocery shopping on our own.

This is what we got...$27.24...No Meat

Brohlems is like Marval, it has ridiculous prices for some of their food. Stinks, but oh well. Morgan's paying for ALL the food (She's the one with all the Scholarships). Our cost would have been at least or close to half the price we paid if we had a Winco near by. The closest Winco is in ID Falls (30 min away by car).

Got back by 2pm. Printed off a Tangled coloring sheet for my binder cover for Book of Mormon, and colored it.

Aunt Alli's Meatballs for dinner tonight!!

...Me...enjoying my dinner...

...Morgan and her yummy dinner...

...Aunt Alli's Meatballs...

 After dinner, we washed all our dishes. Then went back to room and I E-mailed Mom and Grandma a Brad Wilcox Devotional on Grace (We get Extra Credit in Book of Mormon for having people watch it and give us feed back). Watched the Devotional, then read a chapter in Book of Mormon and filled out my "Teaching Journal" (Comp Book).

Watched Tangled. Well at least a little part. Got to the "I Have A Dream" part and turned it off because I was falling asleep.

Day 5

 Friday September 14, 2012

It's FRIDAY...only one class today, English at 3:15 pm.

Woke up at 10:30, ate breakfast, and cleaned up our room a bit. Read our assignment for English.

English:

We were supposed to have a quiz on the assignment we read, but luckily her previous class failed. So we didn't take it. She showed it to us anyway...It was CLEARLY SOMETHING STUPID...one of the questions was fill in the blank sentence from the text. The answer was "toothpick". Really? Toothpick? How does that apply to English? We started to discuss research topics when the power went off!! Got out 15 min again :)

Went back to dorm. Printed out ALL the papers we needed to print for Book of Mormon class. Got something quick to eat, then headed to the boys lounge for movie/game night. Started to watch "Batman: Dark Night", but someone came in and said we couldn't watch any PG-13 movies in the lounge, only in our rooms. So we turned on "Second Hand Lions".

After the movie we split up into teams, Cops and Robbers. Morgan and I were put on Cops. We had to catch/tag the robbers. It was an OK game. After all the robbers were caught we switched positions. The Cops were now Robbers and Robbers were Cops.

Morgan and I had this plan that we would pretend that we were caught and stroll down the middle of the walkway to the goal. We would ask the Cops who were left to catch. It was really funny. One of the guys asked if we were cops and we told him yes, but he tagged us anyway (Smart move, he got us out).

After the 2nd game of Cops and Robbers, we started playing a different game, but no one really explained it. It was dumb, and my feet and hands were cold. I had on a T-Shirt, no sweatshirt. It was getting COLD. But Morgan insisted we continue play. Then someone lost their phone, so we stayed and helped look for it a while. She didn't bring a key, so I was stuck waiting with her. She didn't want to be a "Party Pooper" so we stayed. Finally around 11:45 we headed back to our dorm.

Day 4

Thursday September 13, 2011

History at 8am and Art History at 9:45.

Made apple pancakes for lunch...YUMMY!

Then went out with Morgan and Emma to look for jobs. First we went to Custodial office, but no luck. So we decided to explore Rexburg. We found a doughnut shop (it smelled so good in there) and asked if they had any job openings, they said possibly and to turn in a resume. Went to Brohlems (local grocery store) and then to Walmart.  At Walmart we got stuff for our Book of Mormon class. Morgan got a binder and tabs, and I got tabs and batteries (my mouse died). Went to the Dollar Store to get a Comp book since Walmart was all out of them. I also picked up envelopes. Then we stopped off at the UPS Store to pick up some Stamps. Morgan got PIXAR stamps...Nemo, Toy Story, Bugs Life, Incredibles, and Monsters Inc.

Didn't get back till 4pm.

Didn't eat anything till 9 because Jessica (other room mate) had friends over and I didn't want to go to the kitchen to get food. So I watched "17 Again". When the people left, Morgan made me Cup of Noodles.

We realized that we missed out on the Forum thingy with Pres. and Sister Clarke. We would have gotten ice cream AND possibly a FREE BYU-I Shirt. :(

Day 3

Wednesday September 12, 2012

Got up and ran 2.51 miles around campus. Ran a 9.51min mile split for the first two miles.

Book of Mormon:

The teacher showed up!! We had to introduce ourselves by saying something that no one else has done. I thought about saying; I'm a twin, was part of the Sacramento Temple Celebration, went to the PIXAR gate, I'll never have my own room...BUT none of those work because Morgan is in the same class. So I said that I was the Sports Editor for Yearbook, but somebody had the same experience. I couldn't think of anything so I was skipped. When it was Morgan's turn she said that she was the "youngest twin". Why didn't I think about being the "oldest twin"? Luckily that didn't work for the teacher, so she said that she "Got her hand stuck in a beater".

English:

Discussed our research project that is our Midterm (Due Oct. 24).

Stayed up working on History HW...just like in high school (at least I'm already accustomed to staying up late).

Day 2

Tuesday September 11, 2011:

In History, we went over the Syllabus. Then for Art, we did the same thing AND we got ALL THE ANSWERS TO ALL THE TESTS!!

After our classes we went back to dorm and worked on our Online Art Class: Design and Color. We had to turn in two assignments; the first was a scavenger hunt, and second was about us.

Devotional (DEVO) at 2:10 in the I-Center. President and Sister Clark spoke about trusting in the Lord when we are faced with trials.

Skyped with mom and dad after classes. The asked if we got a job yet, and we told them not yet, but still looking.

Morgan made Peanut Butter Cookies!

She BURNT the first batch...

...but the second batch came out PERFECT

That's it for Day 2!

Day 1

Monday September 10, 2012: First Day of College!!

Morgan made breakfast, Oatmeal. It was yummy. We headed to financial aid office to see how we pay for our tuition and stuff. Well that didn't help us, we had to go to the cashier office to do that, and we had to have our I-card (which we left at our dorm). We went back and got our I-card and headed back to Cashier Office. Everything was paid for :)

At 11:20 we headed to our first class was religion (first half of Book of Mormon) that started at 11:30. The entire class was there, no teacher. We waited 30 or so minuets, still no teacher. Other people came in and left. Slowly the class started to dwindle down to only a handful of us (from 50 to 15). After 45 minuets of patiently waiting, the TA came in and said that the class was canceled, and we should of all gotten an email from teacher explaining what we had to bring to class on Wednesday. Well, no one got an email, we checked. So that was a great start of our College career.

Our next class (English) didn't start till 3pm, so we had time to kill. Ate some leftover Chinese food for lunch, then looked up our syllabus for Book of Mormon. We need a 1 1/2 inch Binder with a view sleeve in front and back and side, Binder tabs, and a Comp Book. Well, I had the binder, but still had to get the rest of stuff.

At 2:50 we headed down the hill to our English class. We had a teacher!! Took two "tests", the first was a questionnaire to see how much we knew about English papers. One of the questions was "What was your last research paper on?". Well, that is a funny question, the last research paper I wrote was "How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse" (The best final for AP English). The second "test" was correcting sentences. Not bad. Got out 15 min Early.

After English we went to the Book Store. Morgan got an Art Kit, Pad of Paper, and a Book of Mormon, and I got a Book of Mormon.

Had burritos for dinner.

We were invited to FHE next door, so we said yes. But as the time got closer, we regretted the agreement. We tried to tell the hosts that we were expecting our bishop later, but that didn't work. We were stuck doing a scavenger hunt around campus. Surprisingly, when we got back to the dorms, our Bishop was there to collect our papers (we had to fill them out, but didn't finish), so we quickly wrote down the answers (basically about our home ward Bishop and Stake President, hobbies/interests, Major, and what calling we want).

Well that was our excitement for the first day of School.

Tomorrow we have early classes: History at 8-9:30am and then right after that we have Art 101 (Art History) from 9:45-11:15.
