{Football}

I am not a football fan. I did not grow up in a sport-loving family, and I did not marry into a sport-loving family. That's great for me! I don't have to worry about my husband wasting hours in front of the tv watching sports! I do, on the other hand, like going to games, soccer, football, basketball, volleyball, rugby, baseball. It's so much fun! I love the action and the spirit there - just fun.
Fun enough for me to buy an all-sports-pass this year? no, not that fun. But, I love BYU and hope that BYU wins all their games - I'm not anti - just uninvolved.

Anyways, with my job on campus I get to work at all the football games and help manage and upkeep the credit card machines for the concession stands. What does this mean? It means I get to work an extra 8-9 hrs a week in ADDITION to my 20 hr work week [which is great because that's 8-9 more hours of pay and a lot more $$ - which is needed at this stage of life]. It's great. It's not too hard, I just listen in on the radio, send out technicians to actually fix the machines [cause I don't know a blessed thing about 'em], and do the documentation. PLUS my department buys me dinner [and who doesn't love calzones, soda, and ice cream?!?!] and I get a lot of hw time in as well. Another benefit to this is I know who we played against and who won so I'm not a complete idiot when someone talks to me about the game. Lots of good things.

{Used Books}

Being in college and having to buy a million and a half books for each semester I go the cheap route and buy as many of them as I can online - through Amazon, mostly. It's great. Way cheaper and I have not had any problems, until now. I bought "The Norton Anthology: American Literature, Volume 1" online - awesome. Saved me like $50. But A.S. MacKenzie [the name written in the front of the book] wore WAY WAY WAY too much perfume. How do I know this? Cause I suffocate every time I read this book! It's so strong! I don't know how her book got drenched in her perfume....but it did. You would think that after weeks in the mail transit, sitting in trucks, sitting in storerooms it would lose that sickly sweet floral scent, but no. It kills me. How am I supposed to concentrate on the author John Winthrop with A.S. MacKenzie is filling my nose with undesired scents? I am left to wonder what kind of girl A.S. MacKenzie must be! Old women wear a lot of perfume cause their senses are declining and they put more on so they can smell it, but it suffocates everybody else.

So now how am I supposed to concentrate w/o getting a headache? Impossible.

{Late}

Well I was late to biology this morning - first time for this semester, but surely not the last.

That's alright.

{School Starts}

Well, I have been inspired. I will start a blog and blog about many things - some important, most of them probably not so much.

Fall semester started for me yesterday. It's going to be kinda crazy - I'm taking 17 credits worth of classes (18 is the max) and I'll be quite busy. My book list for this semester had 14 books on it! I'm only taking 6 classes and I have 14 books! Luckily most of them were novels (for my race and inequality class and my juvenile delinquency class) and I got them on Amazon for 1/3 of the price at the bookstore. Buying all my textbooks at the bookstore would have been around $900 but thanks to Amazon that price tag was quite lower. I love amazon. I probably spend too much time on it...along with craigstlist hahaha.

This is my second to last semester of my undergraduate career (I will be getting a BS in Sociology with an emphasis in Criminology and Juvenile Delinquency) - yes, I graduate in April. Yes, this will be a 3 year degree. Yes, that's even after switching my major after one year. Yes, I'll be 20 when I graduate. Yes, that blows my mind. No, I'm not sure what will happen after April. I'll keep you posted.

Since this is my first post I should probably do some introducing. Sean and I were married on April 30, 2009. We met after Sean moved into my home ward when I was 13 and he was 16. Was it love at first sight? That's a tricky question. To make a long story short, after he came home from serving an LDS mission we were engaged 3 months later and married 8 months after that. We have been happily married for nearly a year and a half and are both working on campus as we finish up our degrees. Sean is studying International Relations and also getting a minor in Business, the Global Management Certificate, and a Spanish Language Certificate - Yes, my husband is super smart and dedicated and awesome.

That is us in a nutshell! well - here we are on the blogging world!
