...as in, I was really slow on getting another update. So, like I was saying before, Thanksgiving was lots of fun. I love being with my family. And still having access to my laptop. :) But it was hard to separate when we left, as I expected. Sad, sad day. I was faintly hoping that I'd be able to not cry, but of course I did. The good news was, I knew I'd get to go home and be with them in less than a month.
Speaking of going home! Especially since now it's December 4th, going home is drawing ever nearer. Not as near as it is for Alex and Rachel, but I can live with that. :) I can't believe the end of the semester is so close. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be taking most of these classes for much longer, but it did seem to go by pretty fast. The big downside to all of this is that it also means all of my final exams are really close as well... but... I try not to think about it. I can't wait to be home with my family, see the rest of my friends again... oh, good, good times...
So, I get back from Thanksgiving break on Saturday morning. And I don't have my ID with me to get inside the building if it's locked, but luckily enough, it isn't locked. Sarah's already gone for marching band, because there's a football game that day. And not just any football game - BYU vs Utah, a huge rivalry. Everyone and their brother was going to the game. So, I decided to sell my ticket. Facebook can do wonders. I put up an ad for my ticket to the game in the Marketplace section, and sure enough, it worked. It did take some time... but I managed to sell it. So I got out to meet this guy by the stadium, and we exchange money and ticket. Now we're both better off with this exchange. That's the market system in action, for you. :P Anyway, so I trudge on back to the dorm room, and lo and behold, it's locked. What the cravitz? I didn't bring my ID with me to get in, because I got in this morning at like 9:30, and now it's like 12:45. What... the heck. I try all of the doors, unhopefully, and they're all locked, of course. So I go back to the door right outside of the lobby and start banging on the door. If there's anyone in there, which there usually is, they'll hear me. But... since it's right after Thanksgiving and tons of people aren't back yet, and the people who are are probably at the game or something, of course there's no one there. And I have no way to get inside. Trevin's at the game, so I can't crash with him. At least I have my cell phone, so I try calling Jeffrey. I call a few times... but each time, no answer. For the freakin' love. I had pretty much had it by now, and I was just about ready to really break down. So I decide to start walking to Jeffrey's place anyway. They usually leave it unlocked. I just hoped I wouldn't get lost. Luckily, I remembered how to get there. Thanks to the boring grid system they use for streets in Utah, and the sun for direction. I managed to walk to their house, after probably about half an hour, and they do happen to be home. Phew. So I got to play their Wii for a little while, and then I went shopping with them. Some Christmas decorations... and then we got some food. Mmm... and when we got back to their house, a couple of Debbie's friends came over, and we ate the food. Just delicious. After that, Sarah texted me back, saying the game was over and she was home. So, I decided to go ahead and start walking back home. But, try as I might, Debbie wouldn't have it. So I waited until Jeffrey was back again, and he gave me a ride. And all was well again. Oh, and we won the game. In your face, Utah. Go cougars. :D
Okay... yeah. If anyone reading this is like me, huge paragraphs = less desire to read. Sorry 'bout that. Oh well. *shrug* After that, normal college life ensued. Except that my iClicker that I use for physical science decided to stop working. Or so I thought. I tried changing the batteries, but no luck. It seemed to have just stopped working altogether. Which was sucking, because now I was missing all of the questions in class, and I would be getting all of them right, so far. I finally take it in to the BYU Bookstore, and they reveal to me that there's three batteries in it, and all along I thought there were just two. And, now I feel stupid. So, I change the third battery as well, and now it works perfectly fine. *sigh* Well, at least it works now.
Oh, and when we got back from break, we got our last computer science midterm. And... I pretty much did horribly. First of all, I didn't finish it by the deadline, so it was already a day late. And one late day on a midterm costs 20 points. For the absolute love. So I keep working on it, and the next day's deadline rolls around, and I still don't have the stupid thing finished. I was further along at this point than I was before, but I still just can't figure the darn thing out. But I decide that getting the points taken off for what I didn't finish would hopefully not be as bad as getting yet another late day. But still... I pretty much bombed it. Before, I thought I'd be able to get an A in the class. Now... definitely not. Provided the final exam isn't as killer as this one was, I might still be able to pull of an A-. We'll just have to see. :\
Let's see... what else? My last day to volunteer for TOPS was last Tuesday. Aw... as much as I've been looking forward to it ending and being able to sleep in on Tuesdays, I was sad to leave for the last time... :( So I've considered volunteering more next semester. We'll just have to see. I don't even know yet how that'd fit into my schedule if I did decide to do it. So... yes. We'll see.
The good news is, our last concert in band was pretty much the end of band. We did meet last Tuesday, though we met later than usual, because apparently BYU is searching for a new Director of Bands, and our band is the guinea pig to see how they do. And we meet one more time for that, on the 11th. Other than those, Tuesdays don't have anything at all anymore. And Thursdays just have my American Heritage lab. Unfortunately the semester is almost over, but at least I enjoy it for a little while.
Oh, and it snowed last Friday night/Saturday morning! A lot! It snowed so much on Saturday... good times. That morning, Sarah and I went outside in the snow. We made a snowman, named it Tristen, made snow angels... good times. I love snow. Probably because I'm so unaccustomed to it, back in Texas. We normally get like, one snow day a year. And half the time it isn't actually snow, it's more like ice. Sometimes we really do just have an ice day. :P So I'm going to have to get used to the idea that there's going to be a considerable amount of snow in the winter here. :) Yay!
Now that I can't think of anything else of much importance, I'll go ahead and end this. If I think of more, maybe I'll remember to add it to my next entry. Maybe. And by the way, David and Sammy, Ashton is dang cute! I can't wait to see him sometime!
