489 Throwdown

OK, so it's almost here. The end of the semester is just around the corner and Monday is our big 489 presentation to EA. Some of you know the immensity of what this means. 489 is a major part of your culminating experience as an advertising student. If any BYU film students are reading this post: it's like 419...on crack.

I just want to say that I'm way excited for Monday. I got home a couple minutes ago, the majority of my evening having been spent running through our presentation with the rest of my group again, and again, and again. I love them! They are awesome!

I can't think of a better group of people I would want to share this culminating part of my college experience with.

3 Cheers for Procrastination!

So I FINALLY finished sending in all my paperwork to recieve credit for the internship I completed last spring/summer.

Bonfires are always fun

I've been kind of busy, thus the no new postings of late. but I liked how some of these photos turned out so I figured I'd post.

These are from last Saturday (the 10th) when my roommate and a small group of us went out to Utah Lake and burned some wood palletes and about 7 Christmas trees that this same roommate had been saving behind our house for such an occassion. He's kind of a pyro. :)

Here is said roommate:
and some of his friends that he works with: (these guys are awesome)
Roommate and girlfriend...how cute: Here's my hott date: (no really, she was hot. That fire was HUGE!)

I have to pass

I was a little worried about my test tomorrow. I hadn't studied at all for this midterm and when our 489 group-meeting adjourned tonight it was T-minus 12 hours before I'd be sitting in class taking said test.

Haha...I'm such a procrastinator. In so much that I didn't even know how horribly I did on our first test in the class. I hadn't wanted to look because I knew it was bad. I had procrastinated studying for that one till the last minute as well.

Anyways, I've been sitting here studying for the past while and decided I should check online and see how I did on the first test. Part of me thought this was a bad idea. I mean, seeing how horribly I did isn't going to make me stress out any less. It's sad, it really is, but all I really want to do is pass the class. It's not an important class to me. I mean, it's cool and all, but it doesn't directly relate to my major. It does stress me to some extent though because I actually have to pass it in order to graduate this April.

Well, let's cut to the chase: I checked my test score for the last test. I got an 82! Beep!!! That's sweet! I'm no longer worried about doing well on this test. Heck, I could do horribly on this test and still be passing. I'm seriously contemplating going to bed now. :)

I totally rocked this game

So I'm one of the FHE leaders in my ward and like usual, my co-leaders and myself didn't plan out what we would do until like 5 o'clock today. I am such a procrastinator. Anyways, I ended up sharing a short documentary called Scriptures from the Fit for the Kingdom website. It's awesome. If you know Dean Duncan, then you'll appreciate the short even more.

After the video we talked briefly about the importance of scripture study and such. Then we played this game that a friend of mine told me about. I'm not sure if it has a name, but you're probobly familiar with it. It's kind of like limbo...but not really.

You place a paper bag on the ground and standing on one foot you bend down and pick it up with your mouth without touching the ground with your hands, knees, or other foot. After you pick it up, you tear part of the top of the bag off so it's now shorter. The next person goes.

Well, I just want to say that I totally rocked this game; In fact, when we were done, I ripped a small piece of the bag off and placed it FLAT on the ground just for kicks. Well, I picked it up. Three times.

Excavation 101

Cleaning checks were today. We basically all forgot about them until late late late last night, and seeing as how 2 of the roomies have early school and work, Taylor and I told them we'd take care of it in the morning. Luckily our house wasn't in too bad of shape so we just did some quick cleaning/straightening up around the house...it didn't take too long and we passed so life is just dandy.

I did come to an interesting realization as I was cleaning the bathroom sink...cleaning for cleaning checks is like participating in a beginning excavation class. I mean, you can never really get somethings clean in student housing, all you can do is scrape/dust off your layer of film, grime, and dust...the ancient layers dirt from student civilizations that have gone before you are still there in all their glory.

Sometimes, all you can really do is take off your dust and make what's left of the past existence of former students in the space you now reside visible.
That's how I felt cleaning our sink this morning.

Sean, in a dryer

Crazy things happen when you're a college student, it's so late it's early...and you are attempting to avoid doing your homework...Behold, the before unknownst supernatural talents of my roomate Sean!
