Calm Before The Storm

Well, I'm glad this week is about over. For me, at least. I have marching band this afternoon, and my computer graphics class at 7. Which I enjoy. Then I have marching band tomorrow afternoon, and that's it. So basically, this week is practically done aside from those few things I need to go to. This week wasn't the worst ever, but I've been looking forward to it's conclusion. I had a couple papers to write and a bunch of art stuff to do, and all that jazz. Which, naturally, I put off until I absolutely have to do it. :P

This weekend is The Duel - the game between BYU the U of U. It's always a big deal, and there's a huge rivalry between the two universities. We've won the past two years, and I really hope we win again. BYU spirit all the way!

Next week is Thanksgiving week, which will be really nice. I found out yesterday that two of my classes on Monday aren't meeting, and the other one we're just watching some video. Then on Tuesday is Friday instruction, and since I don't have anything to go to for those Friday classes (we're not even meeting for marching band that day), I have nothing at all on Tuesday. I don't even have work, since it's Friday instruction - they're having the people at the Cannon Center who work on Friday work on that day. My Thanksgiving break starts a day earlier than most other people on campus. Sweet! It's going to be a nice Thanksgiving.

After this week, there's only about two weeks left of school, and then a week of finals. We're almost done! It's unbelievably close! So is it bad if I still feel like I'm catching up in some classes? :P I've reached a relaxed point in my classes - for a moment. Once this is over, I'll have to kick it into gear again (going back to school after Thanksgiving break? Does anyone really completely come back?). We're almost there.

The Good Stuff

Last week I got to sign up for classes. What a joy. In all honesty, I really do enjoy planning out class schedules and signing up for classes and stuff, it's just not as fun to take the classes. That, and it can be a pain to sign up for them, since a whole lot of people at BYU are trying to sign up at the same time, so it kinda makes the website a bit slower. I did get all the classes I wanted, but I'm actually waiting to see if spots open up in different sections of a couple of the classes will open up. I'm sure they will eventually, I just have to keep my eye on them so I can grab it.

This weekend we had a football game against San Diego State University (SDSU), and won 41-12. It was a great game. Not only that, but we had one of the coolest halftime shows I've ever done. We played Tetris, Zelda, Mortal Kombat, Pokémon, and Freebird. Awesomest. Show. Ever. I'm pretty certain I'll get a recording of it from band eventually. It was so sweet.

This weekend Jeffrey was also back in town! So today he, Debbie, Trevin, and I all got together and had a Sunday meal together, after which we played some games together. The food was really good, and much appreciated. Then me, Trevin, and Jeffrey played some little Arthur game that came in a Wendy's Kid's Meal. So you know how much fun that had to be. It was so lame that it was funny... except for the fact that in the three games that we played of it, I got last all three times. No... that was actually funny too. Then all of us played It Came To Pass. In the first round, when people were scoring, I dunno... 20s? 30s? I got a whopping 167 points. And you're supposed to get as few points as possible. 167?! That round was seriously messed up. We ended up playing until someone hit 500, which we all knew after a short while would be me. At the end of it all, I had 504, and the person who came in second to last only had 245. (The rest of the scores were all relatively close.) Undisputed last place. That's right guys... ain't nobody can lose the way I can. But seriously, I had a blast today. I literally laughed so hard so much today that not only did my stomach and face start hurting, like sometimes happens, but I got a serious headache. I still have it. I'm just hoping it's gone by morning. But hey, what better way to get a killer headache than to laugh really hard all day? :)
