Welcome back loyal blog fans near and far. I decided to just pretend like I didn't go on a one, ish, month hiatus from writing ever so diligently on my blog, and that I didn't just stop writing in time of happenings and movings and changes... that I might not have abandoned you during the past month, ish, let's pretend like I've always been here, helping, comforting, guiding you easily through life with my small jokes and boring tales. Can we please pretend? Thank you, you can close your eyes and picture it, if that helps you envision me not abandoning you.
Utah!
Yes folks, that word right there does not lie, I am living in Utah. I call it the big UT, no one knows why, maybe because UT is it's abbreviation, maybe because it seems big after being in a city, maybe because the word the comes before a lot of things, but I'm not putting my money on any of that, no sir ee. I'm just sayin, well, I'm calling it that because the wind turns (Topher, you better be reading my blog, otherwise I'll leave out the inside jokes and everyone else would be a little bit happier!). Well, here I am! I find myself unemployed, in a foreign land, with naught to do but attend classes at the local University. I go to Utah Valley University, wanna check it out?? click me, click it! I'm so web savvy, kills me, why should one person harbor so much skill while the world suffers? Well because I'm freaking awesome that's why. I have a few loverly classes which keep me occupied Monday - Friday 9am - 12 or 1 pm depending on the day. I take:
Sign Language:
-Intro class! Love it, easiest a, almost ever (wait til we get to math). I've taken 2 years of ASL already, but I figured since it'd been a couple years and I need the intro credit anyways why not take a step back and take the class any ways. Every one in the class thinks I am a signing genius. They also all refer to me as, "the snob". I live in Alpine, which is known as a higher class neighborhood, so when they find that out, they decide that JUST because I'm all fancy and in heels and dresses and I live in a nice neighborhood somehow I am a snob! Rude! How they could figure that all out with out even knowing me, genius.
Math:
-oh folks, get super excited, the information I am about to tell you in golden, priceless I say, Michelle's still laughing from this little tidbit. It's pre-algebra. a-yup. Pre, as in before, Algebra, as in solve this problem here and we'll throw an x in there for good measure, ha now solve it... before the little x. I learned a few weeks back how to add, subtract, multiply, and don't leave out divide. I also learned that we won't be doing long division... not our level math. The alligator always eats the bigger number, always (2 < class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">goin for that 4, it's 2s lucky day, but just wait til tomorrow, 2s matched up with 1 and then we'll see who's lucky bwahahaha). I took my first math test today. 25 problems, multiple choice, I finished in 7 minutes, and I would bet 50 dollars I got 100%. Don't get me wrong, I am NOT complaining, and this is a good math for me to start at. It's my 3rd favorite class after all. :) Some of my teachers favorite sayings: "I appreciate you all showing up so much." "I think that's the answer, unless they've changed it." and the ever classic "well in my '57 Merc." ... he's crazy about his old Mercury car of some sort. bench seating.
Geography:
-Boooooooring! I'm sad because this could be an interesting class, but my teacher just doesn't know how to teach. We've all seen the teacher on Ferris Bueller's Day off, yup mine is worse than that. This is what we like to call my challenging class.
American Civilization:
-My favorite class. I'm learning all sorts of fun things. I love my teacher. And I love getting to hear a lot of really cool stories about the start of America. If you're in the area, and it's a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday at noon and you have nothing to do, come to class with me! You won't regret it. That's a promise.
Well, there you have it. That's school for ya! Let me tell you, it's super weird being back in the big UT, but I'm loving it. I miss everyone a lot a lot in Seattle, Portland, Kentucky, Jamaica, DC, I mean everyone... I'm missing you all, but I'm really really happy I'm with my family and I'm getting my education! So road trip it up, come on people, I'm waiting for you all to come and visit. Come in the summer, and we'll go camping. :)
Stay tuned folks, I'm makin a comeback tour... I'll be posting AT LEAST once a week. I've come upon some time on my hands and I'm not going to fill it by NOT writing on my blog. Get smart. Time + already started and amazing blog = uber amounts of joke crackin fun!
Adios pardners. OOOh, and look ----------------------------------->
you can see all my pictures on flickr! Looooove it! (said like that 2 headed dragon on dragon tails.)
