First Day of Class

Currently listening: Learning How to Smile by Everclear

Classes started yesterday for everybody but me. So today was my first day of class. The first class I had was Accounting 200 at 8 a.m. Kiel Yager is in my class, and I think I saw Russell Hansen too - they're people from work - My professor is nice, and I will like the class... maybe. My goal for this semester is to get just straight As. I'm sure it can't be that hard if I really try.

My Accounting professor - Norm Nemrow - is funny. He said a couple things that made me laugh. He made it easy not to fall asleep in an eight o'clock class. I didn't sleep in any of my classes today which is a record for me and I'm proud.

Who would want to go into medicine? That's like construction. You're like sawing people.

I couldn't have said it better. I hate doctors. They know nothing. I wanted to be a doctor once. I wanted to be a kidney doctor. Sometimes I wonder why I decided against it. And I went to majoring in Information Systems.

If you really think about it, BYU is not as expensive as other universities because of the tithings of the members of the church. We have a huge responsibility because of that. We were talking about it in my Accounting class - seems like we talked about everything but Accounting - when my professor gave us an example.

How can it be justified that a widow - pause - in Peru pays her tithing to fund the higher education of someone who could probably pay his own tuition so he can become somebody one day and get even more money? Where's the justice in that? I'll tell you. It's the students leaving here to change the world with what they learned. And then some don't embrace the Honor Code, which you all signed. And what is that worth for? If I were a widow - pause again - from Peru, knowing that my children will never come here, I wouldn't feel any regret if I saw the students here doing the will of the Lord and living up to the standards. I would even send more money, I'd be happy to contribute to what this institution is doing.

So, he's right. He kind of hit a nerve, not in me though, well, maybe a little, but not with the dressing stuff at least, or cheating. Powerful message, I thought, but why and how the devil did he come up with a widow from Peru? I mean, out of all the countries in the world, he comes up with Peru? Do we have more widows than any other country? Just like the US has more obese people? - I'm sorry, but it's true. We talked about it today in my HEPE 129 class. You guys are OUT of control! - I thought, maybe he served in Peru and he loves it so much, he brings it up to class... but, no, he served in Seoul, Korea. I guess this will be one of the mysteries I will never be able to decipher.


First day of class and I am already in the library. This place will be my best friend this semester. I never used to hang out here. Not until I started hanging out with Stefani. She loves this place. And I guess I have gotten used to it too. I finally convinced her to create a blog for herself. I need to read stuff and I don't follow many blogs, more like none. So it'll be fun to have hers now. I need to convert more people.

I saw a car crash today. The poor woman was crying, an American girl crashed her. I mean, how reckless can Utah drivers be? Driving is not that hard people! I'm not even sure if she was from Utah. She looked like some kind of a California girl. Your typical American - and I'm not being racist, just a little bit sexist - blond, white, tall, skinny, and she had big sunglasses. I felt bad for the woman. So bad I even took a picture of her car. I like taking pictures. Pictures say more than a thousand words. Though since I never stop writing, I probably don't even need pictures. I'm sorry I have no social life I have enough time to update this thing. I need to get a boyfriend, or maybe I will even get the whole package and get a husband that wants to marry down.
