Literal Movie Trailers.
My roommate Amanda showed it to me.
It's just kind of worth it. (There are many)

Those Lazy College Weeks

Here's the second installment in what I hope will be a weekly "feature" called "These are the pictures I've taken this week that can explain what I've been up to..."
So here goes.

First, here's the food-related pictures:

 We used my blender for the first time. That was exciting :)

 I made delicious potatoes. Mmmmm...potatoes

 My low-fat apple crisp (I may have put 2/3 a stick of butter instead of 2/3 of a cup...)

 Free sandwiches outside the institute building. I might have had two.

The olives were very expressive, and alien-like.

Do you think I made too much? Maybe...

Snapchat is fun, don't you think?

Here are some of my MANY snapchats from this past week:

 From Erika

To Erika

 Imma eat you!

 To my good friend Rachel

We brush our teeth together. We're just like that...

And sometimes I'm not allowed to see.

Some more stuff:

 I play Yahtzee late at night against a computer

 I draw beautiful pictures

Especially of my roommate, Erika.

She draws beautiful pictures as well.

Here are some things you should know:

 1. College students are totally pro at jaywalking.

2. This dude plays the bongos...all the time. 

3. Bekah taught about the divided line. Look at all that beautiful...complex writing.

4. My Calculus III professor, Professor Armstrong, is kind of awesome :)

Here are some words of wisdom from him: 

• "We don't like pointy circles."
• "You could not swing a dead cat in here without hitting a bunch of vectors."
• "What comes before 'h' in the alphabet?"
• "Somebody probably just died because I wrote that..."
• "If you use the word orthogonal this weekend at the party , there will be love."
• "If you're an engineer, you don't think this is a real number until you plug it into your calculator."
• "And, in fact, if you mock me, I'll give you extra credit."
• "Make up some triangles. Have some fun. Math is all about fun..."
• "You must have kids like I do...or be kids like I have..."
• "Say 'r' for wrench."
• "I know I'm a flaming nerd. It's alright."
• "You use a parameter. Hence the name paranormal...parametric."
• "Someone double dog dared me, or called me a dirty dog."
• "Kramar has made me who I am today. That's totally true considering Seinfeld."
• "Books have to have magical answers so students are well equipped when they go out in the world." 
• "P-not on the plane. Sounds almost like a commandment."
• "Have a great weekend, which means full of math."
• "Has anyone ever driven a horse? I have, three times. And by induction, never will again."
• "Boy, if you use these words at your party on Friday there will be so much love."
• "Wait, I'm a middle aged man. I know how to do anything."
• "I had the impression this was an intelligent class..."
• "It's kind of oscillating mixed with masculine, so...it's manly oscillation."
• "I use hand parentheses instead of air quotes."
• "Email is, remember, texting on a computer." 
• "In case what I'm drawing here isn't recognizable as a picture, I've labeled it picture."
• "That is an interesting problem, I'm surprised I assigned it."
• "For it to be writable. It's a new word...it's a thing."
• "Infinity is, like, way bigger than 2." 
• "It could mean, unlimited ice cream cone. Oooh...unlimited ice cream."
• "I wouldn't use this if I were sending a spaceship to Saturn, but if I were sending one to Parowan it would be close enough."
• "There's gotta be something I wanted to say here because i put 'note.'"

And here's one from my Linear Algebra professor, Dr. Turner:

• "Notice 'Lil is female. She's extra confusing." 

Enjoy your week y'all, with these people in my life, I know I will be. :D

The Fox

My roommates introduced me to this music video/song.

It's kind of brilliant. Watch it, love it, and watch it again.
Then look at this:

College Life May or May Not Be Somewhat Like This...

This is college. I stay up ridiculously late nearly every night. I've met...some new people. I live with five crazy awesome girls (Amanda, Bekah, Erika, Jessica and Tori) with whom I make and eat a ridiculous amount of treats, watch movies and TV shows (like Dr. Who), and nearly die from ridiculous heat due to a (perhaps) faulty AC unit. I make my own food, worry about my money, and attend classes (at times when I would rather not be conscious). Also, I may watch too much TV and play too many games on my iPad...but I still get my homework done, so that's probably okay.

This is our bell tower. It's kind of neat. Per tradition, we walked under it at convocation and will not walk under until we graduate. Quite exciting, really. As we walked under it the first time, there were people lining the sides of the walk to give us high fives. And it was raining a bit...which was fun. 

I seem to have adjusted well, don't you think. It's just like home, a couch covered in my random stuff instead of keeping it all in my room. It just makes sense, doesn't it? 

And...here are my roommates:

 Tori

 Erika

 Jessica

 Amanda

Bekah

Aren't they just lovely? We certainly think so. Oh, and here's our pet, who lives in the cupboards

Allie

So...that's the basic gist of things. Here's some of the other random stuff that I do sometimes:

• Sometimes I draw things for my roommate Erika

Aren't they lovely? :D

• Sometimes, I do math (really, a lot of the time. Such is the life of a math major)

 I drew this for my other roommate. It's quite impressive, right?

 I did pretty well on my first Calculus III test.

 I may have done the best in my class :)

I learned the word orthogonal. There will be love.

• Sometimes, I make delicious food. And then I eat it

Mmmmm...now I'm hungry. Anyone want to make me some tasty food? ;)

• Sometimes, I wear wonderful things. I'm quite the fashionista, you know

• Sometimes, I make short firemen at a service day at the library (on 9/11)

• Sometimes, I go to Taco Bell with my "Crazy Aunts" as I like to call them

• Sometimes, Erika has a Popsicle tongue

•  Sometimes, I take random pictures of random people on campus and send them to Erika's sister on her phone

• Sometimes, I stab Erika in the head with pasta noodles

• Sometimes, I Snapchat my dear, dear old friend Rachel Davis, who goes to BYU. 

• And sometimes, I wear Erika's glasses. Isn't that quite exciting?

I've been here for a little over a month, and things are going pretty well so far. I'm surviving. I'm adjusting. I am looking forward to going home in about three weeks for fall break, because home is a good place. There's free food, no homework due, and family. :)

This concludes installment I of "What I Do At College." Sometime before the end of this academic year, I'll post more. Until then, peace out "home-slice."
