Technology... we can be done now.

Well, I am at the BYU bookstore to look at my new booklist for the spring. On the way into the bookstore, I passed the electronics section, where the IPAD is the new hot-ticketed item. For $700 I can have a giant computer that won't allow me to really type. As a writer, that would do me almost no good at all. I wonder why people seem to need so many new gadgets. Do they really improve the quality of life that much? I can think of so many other things that are more worthwhile for my money.

BYU REGISTRATION FRUSTRATION

Well, though I have been trying to convince my little sister that BYU isn't that large of a community and that it doesn't feel like there are 33,000 students... Today there are. I am supposed to be registering for my classes, but am unable because the registration program has surpassed its capacity to facilitate users at the 12:00 am starting line. Ah! is all I have to say. Go to a smaller school Em.

New word

foreignism - means the imitation of of what is foreign.

So basically, when we throw themed parties or I try to make Argentine food, I am encouraging foreignism!

The OED approves!

Lemons

I should repeat the poem on my header. It's a description of my life.

Hi Dana

I just wanted you to read this because I know that you will. Remember that time when you walked into Ben and Phil's apartment, but it was taken already... haha. Sorry to have taken over the love sacks! Anyways... Hope you have a wonderful morning... I'll see you at the R.S. Luncheon... Much love!

And for everyone else reading this, which is basically no one... Sorry! This is my blog and I wanted to leave a message specifically for Dana. So there.

Goodnight!

Oh how my brain doth wane in intelligence and desire. Methinks I shall quit this act!

Well, it was my half-birthday yesterday. Did I receive a good present. Yes, I did, but I shall not tell.

I am completely frazzled with my Shakespeare midterm. I normally feel smart and confidant, but this time, I feel like I have spent hours working on these essays, and I just don't know how to improve them and make them papers that honestly deserve and earn an "A" from Dr. Siegfried. I'm going to plow ahead, get something on paper, and call it "quits." Sometimes, my brain just can't make everything a priority and mentally, I'm elsewhere engaged.

Nephew quotes

Well, my nephews were talking about what would happen if the world ended in 2012. One of them said that they wouldn't graduate high school because that's his graduation year. The other said, "Man! I'll never get the ironic priesthood!" Yay Tucker.

He also said that buying a new house would be hard. You'd have to buy "paper clips...furniture...a stapler..."

Aimee is only seven, but she is obsessed with babies. She wants another one so badly that she was begging her parents to adopt. She nagged them so much that they are now calling people in their wards to find some baby for her to play with. Aimee said to me however that she wanted "a brown one. Maybe from China." Ha ha. They're moving the old changing table into her bedroom.
