A Lazy Week

Hey y'all, here's what happened this week. :)

First, food, as I had so much deliciousness last weekend being HOME for Fall Break:

 I went to Wingers with Erika

 My mom got the chips and salsa AND the french fries (due to an overeager, but forgetful waiter, it was quite excellent, actually).

 I had some TASTY fajitas.

The aforementioned waiter hooked us up with some popcorn to go. It was delicious

Erika can attest to that fact.

After Wingers, we went back to my house and watched The Muppet Movie. It was quite wonderful, what with the third greatest gift being dolled out by the armful (laughter; after children and ice cream).

On Thursday I cooked plain chicken for the first time at college. It was quite tasty. This might have to become a more common occurrence...if I can motivate myself to go to the effort.

It made an excellent sandwich. Mmmmm...chicken sandwich [drools]

Another thing that happened over the weekend was Fishpond. Yes, that's right, I got to have it twice this year. There was delicious food there, but somehow, I neglected to photograph any of it. In fact, the only picture I seem to have (there are others in other--unavailable places to me) is this one:

Which...kind of summed up the evening for me. While I did find some time to hang out with the rest of my family, most of my evening was devoted to following these guys (and another small child) around. We found and pet the cat. The little girl (Presley) talked quite enthusiastically about her for quite a while (as well as about my stars in my room and other topics I didn't quite catch). The little boy (Bridger) along with his cousin (Lincoln) were also quite entertaining to play with. (They're the children of my cousins). Also making an appearance that evening was my nephew Edj. I somehow failed to photograph him as well, but I promise, he was there. 

Anyway...on with the rest of the week.

Here are some snapchats:

 Me

And the cat. 

That's really all you need to see.

A few other random highlights of the week:

Saw this on Pinterest. Quite hilarious, if I say so myself.

Erika and I play a lot of electronic "With Friends" games. I'd have to say my favorite at the moment is Dice With Friends. Here is a game where I demolished her. I'd have to say I'm quite proud of my luck.

On Wednesday in University 1040 (I still have no idea what the purpose of that class is), we had a substitute: Professor Nickerson. While waiting for him to arrive, we decided to take a different approach on class that day (as he is quite different, some might say crazy). Here are some pics from four (okay, five) different angles:

 That was Nickerson's doings

 We had to thing of words to write

Lots of words

There's the man himself

And that's what we did before class. 

Here's the end result of the 50 minutes

Erika drew some lovely pictures on Thursday. She was even kind enough to include "reaction" shots.

And I worked on a very useful skill: learning to sign my name upside down. I'm sure someday that ability will come in handy.

So, before I leave you with some more Calculus professor quotations, I'd like to say one more thing:

In the words of Dr. Armstrong:

"I was playing for the nerdiest laugh ever, how did I do?"

"It's just a little problem with the most important theorem of all time."

"Today is the 15th...wait, is Halloween tomorrow?"

"This is other homework: what's the opposite of not?"

"You really have to convince yourself that you cannot do this integral, before you do this integral."

"And that's what I tell my kids; as soon as it gets hard, I just stop."

"If I cut my arm off...that'd be awesome."

"Isn't this already interesting? I mean, this is hella cool."

"There were two of us, and half the class was asleep at any given time."

"This is...something."

"If that confuses you, you might want to remind yourself of the definition of 'triple,' it's a thing."

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
