Interesting Eyes

We began our study of the eye in Sensation and Perception today. I found it quite interesting. Here are a few things I learned.

- The eye color blue means that there actually is no pigment in the iris.
- Our eyesight gets worse as we age because our lens becomes less flexible, having acquired more layers (like an onion) and becoming stiff.
- My nearsightedness mean that I have long eye balls.

Well now you know!!

With large amounts of homework to do I really shouldn't be updating my blog. Or be on Facebook. Or playing solitaire.

Editorial Pants

With the winter weather come the sheer disregard for fashion. Take today, when I didn't feel like getting my pants wet...Talk about tacky!! Never in my life would I roll up my pants, except in Idaho in the middle of winter when I don't want to get my pants wet. And they didn't.

For my Advanced Research and Literature class we will be publishing our own Literary Journals. In class we choose some topics we thought would be interesting and then split up into five Editorial Boards for the most enticing ideas. I chose to be on the Editorial Board for the Popular/Modern Literature Journal (it was my idea after all) and then was elected Editor in Chief. So pretty much until April when I finally turn this in I will respond only to Editor in Chief!

Commonly Added

I officially have 16 credits and finally got into the Research Methods class!! Yay!!
I will undoubtedly now complain about the fact that I am taking it for the rest of the semester. In the interest of time and brain cells I have for you yet another list.

Improv Old Guys

I went to a Comedy Improv show on campus Saturday night, which was insanely fun! It was pretty much a live "Who's Line" show. The picture below shows the four actors participating...yes one of them was Kirby Heyborne.


School really is keeping me too busy. I talked to a bunch of guys from our ward today, only to find out that they were all way over the age of 25. Sorry that's a little bit too old for me. I suppose I shan't get married after all.

Get a Load of This Tag

Cassie tagged me in a "Seven Things You Didn't Want to Know About Me" post.

So here we go...enjoy...

1. To begin, if given the choice between anything pink or purple, I would dive into a vat of boiling pig intestines before choosing either one.

2. I can be amazingly artistic given an edible medium. (Smarties and colored twizzlers)

3. I am an incredible dork. I am the one waving in the wrong direction.

4. There is actually a small growth on the upper left side of my stomach that serves as a second stomach of sorts (similar to a cow). I can therefore digest my food at an extraordinarily fast rate. Just kidding...wouldn't that be awesome though?!?

5. I sometimes pretend to be a guy and lay my head on already syruped pancakes.

6. I could eat for the rest of my life Pancake Sizzli's and Pancake Sizzli's only.

7. Junie B. Jones is my hero.

Classes Swap Busy

Yesterday was a busy day. Not only preparing myself for classes to begin, but Jitta as well. We did finally get her checked in, I gave her a virtual tour of campus (it was snowing), helped her buy her books, and then sent her off to go shopping with her roommate!!

I also got my books and ventured into the new food area on campus for the first time since they redid it. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I met my room roommate whose name is Emma and she seems pretty nice, however neither of us really talk. My other two roommates I already knew, Kristen and April.

I went to my first class, Natural Disasters, today at 9am. The professor is pretty funny and keeps things interesting. His wife is in the class...as a student...is that legal?!? At 12:45 I will sit in on a Research Methods class that I hope to add, go to Old Testament, then to Sensations and Perception.
Then I will hang out with Jitta as her last class of the day is in the same building as mine. We can swap horror stories and she can tell me about all the new friends she has made!!

Yay life.

Blah Idaho DONT TALK TO ME!!

Not to be a total and complete killjoy about being back in school, but sitting on the shuttle I over heard a much dreaded conversation from the seats behind me.

Voice 1: Hi I'm Crystal, what's your name?
Voice 2: Cynthia...nice to meet you Crystal.

::Emily shoots self in face::

I am so not looking forward to being forced into several thousand of those over the next few days.

Sigh
