Seven for Sunday

1) The BYU/Utah football game was yesterday. Apparently they've had Utah fans vandalize the statues around campus in the past, so they've all been Saran-wrapped. Somebody put this note on the statue of a family:

I watched the last half of the football game. We got totally pwned 54-10. Even I could tell it was embarrassing. There were a lot of turnovers and stuff that led to Utah getting a bunch of touchdowns that they really shouldn't have. On the plus side, I know a lot more about football now.

2) Yesterday I went grocery shopping. Alex and I rode our bikes to a grocery store a little further away, and they had brie cheese! I was so pleased. In other food news, I also found coconut m&ms for sale, which should make Carmen jealous, and discovered that the food court has curly fries, which should make Steven jealous.

I made curry yesterday. My current meal planning has mostly consisted of making a lot of awesome food on the weekend, and then eating leftovers all week. Last week's enchiladas were great. I used really spicy salsa, and the tortillas were sooooooooo good.

3) I had a biology midterm. I'm not sure why he calls them "midterms" when there's four of them. They're really more like unit tests. Anyways, I got 94, which is always a really irritating mark for me because it's good enough that I can't complain without annoying everyone else, but not good enough for me to be 100% pleased.

4) I got called as one of our 3 ward organists. So, that's pretty cool. I don't have too much to say about that, except that it happened.

5) It kind of cooled down this week. It's only in the high 70s now haha. I still come home and stick my head in the freezer after riding home in the middle of the afternoon, and my roommate gives me weird looks when I do that. I just remind her that the shoe will be on the other foot in a few months.

6) I got my birthday presents in the mail like three days after I asked for them. Don't worry, they're still unwrapped.

7) I definitely have more homework to do now than I did in high school. I'm actually pretty pleased about that, because it's nice to see that yes, I can actually work hard when there is a need to do so. I had been a little worried that since I didn't need to work in high school, I wouldn't be able to rise to the challenge or something, but that has turned out to totally not be the case. Hard work and being challenged feels nice. That's one of the best things about university, is finally being able to really choose classes and stuff that require me to live up to my potential. So far I'm getting straight A's.
