Do you want to know how many bubbles there are on an average bubblesheet that you pick up at the BYU testing center? There's 160. Ok, technically there are 160 questions, with like 10 bubbles each. So in that case... there's 1600. But guess who had to use all of the questions on that bubble sheet for ONE Interior design class? That's right. Me. The good news is that I was only in the testing center for like an hour and a half... which (if you do the deduction) means that I actually knew the material. The bad news is that after that test, I haven't been able to stop analyzing different pieces of furniture and architecture for their style and "good design". So basically... I'm a shmuck. I've told myself that I was going to write in my blog every weekend for like the past two months. And, uh. Yeah. It didn't happen... until now! How exciting! Now you all get to hear what's been happening for the first semester of my sophomore year at BYU.
My new ward is great. And I was called to be the Secretary in the Relief Society! I was really nervous at first, because I'm not really savvy with computer stuff. But I have learned to love it because it kind of makes me feel like a secret agent. Let me explain. I have to enter in all of the Visiting Teaching reports in this tiny room in the Marb that has like two computers in it and no windows. To get into the room you have to enter a code on the doorknob. So the other day I go up to the door and there's this guy sitting right outside the room. I punched in the code and the door does this victorious unlocking noise. I smirk at him and think, "That's right... I have the code." I bet he didn't even realize I was opening a locked door, but I felt pretty cool.
Also, we may have the coolest neighbors in the world. A couple of weeks ago we went up (they live in the apartment above us) to have a "Tangled Tuesday" where we watched Tangled and ate braided breadsticks. It was so fun! But let's be real. One of the biggest reasons I love them is because they share a similar passion as me. That's right, folks. STAR WARS. We've already had a Star Wars movie night, complete with C3PO cardboard cutout (he only had the cutout because his work was giving it away... but still!). And last night, as Shelby and I were sitting at our dining room table, we heard this noise outside. I slowly pulled open the blinds and one of our neighbors was staring back at me through the window in a Boba Fett helmet! It was scary, but totally awesome at the same time! Also, if you don't know who Boba Fett is... a) you probably actually have a life and b) he's just a character in Star Wars. No biggie. Anyway. It makes me pretty excited to have neighbors who have the same weirdo fandoms as my roommates and me. And when I say my roommates and me... I basically mean me, although Felicia and Shelby do their best to support me in all of my strange obsessions.
Well, that's a little taste of what's happening down here, but don't worry, I should be getting to the 'R' blog in the next few days. I feel like I have some pretty good stories to tell, and I'm starting to feel my creative juices coming back to life... which is perfect, because Halloween is in the next few weeks. Anywho. Hope you all have a great few days, anticipating the moment when I once again write in this very exciting blog. :)
