I admit it.
I'm the one who goes back and reads your whole wall conversations with someone else because you said something interesting.
I'm the one who secretly reads your blog and loves it, but never comments.
I'm the one who knows what you're doing but is fulfilled in simply knowing and not doing anything about it.
I'm nosy. I'm curious. And I want to know how you are faring. So, please excuse my creeper tendencies?

Day 2B - Reading Some More
Reading this for my History class was a lot harder than I thought... as Megan can attest, I gave up with about 20 pages left. And I found out in class today, as we discussed Rousseau, I totally missed the whole background of it.... AWESOME. But he had some really great quotes, so it was enjoyable. Kindof.

Day 4 - Read a Good Book
My sister and I stopped up at the Bookstore Book Sale before our weekly luncheon & Stats homework session. We went to get books for our sister's birthday, but I ended up buying these 4 for myself. We did get a copy of all the Narnia books for our sister, though, and a pocket copy of Pride and Prejudice (like mine, on top) for our mom.

His Story
Today I roped Megan into coming to the Progressive Book Sale with me... I scoped it out yesterday, when everything was 50% off, & went back today to get the stuff I could at 75% off. I'm so pleased with the books I got... all for $10.

I feel smart having these books laying around my room... I am reminded of the quote, "Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it." & I'm so excited to be able to start my own history books collection. I figure I need to start doing so, if I plan to be an informed history teacher. I'm interested in this stuff, so I want to know so I can fill in a student one day if they want to know this coolness as well.
After our book surfing (which I will return to Friday to get some CDs for 90% off...), we stopped in the CougarEat to get a nice lunch & change of pace from the Cannon Center, which is our usual haunt since most of the girls here have a Cannon-centric meal plan. After that, Megan was even kind enough to wait for eons as I sloughed through the line at the Student Employment Center... though the people around me in line were quite nice. The guy in front of me was going to be a bio-medical research assistant... his major sounded pretty intense. He's going to be dissecting cell membranes for his professors.

Cool stuff. We chatted a lot. & one of the girls behind me was going to be working at the Testing Center as well; she's also a freshman. & we even have differing schedules, so we could be able to pick up each other's shifts if need be. Very lucky meeting.
I'm kind of excited for my first English paper; it's a short one with a paragraph of Mythos, Logos, and Ethos writing on a subject from our own religious Mythos & person Ethos.

I'm thinking I'm going to write mine on religious persecution, and how it's for our good. Mythos - scriptures; Christ, Joseph Smith being persecuted. Logos - historically proved religious persecutions, such as Joan of Arc and that Ann lady who started Rhode Island. Ethos - my own experiences with religious persecution. I'm glad that idea just came to me, & I hope she likes it... hopefully the writing can make up for if she doesn't like the topic idea.
I'm also a little happy to be going to World Civ class tonight, since we had our first quiz on Monday & I think I did well. It was only a map quiz, but I'm proud of myself, and I want to see for myself if I did as well as I thought I did.

First college quiz, and all... you know.
After Civ I'll be coming back & picking up Megan and Asia, and any other girls that want to come support Asia in BYU Idol. More on that later tonight.... the Daily Universe said the winner last year sang Michael Buble's "Everything" (my current favorite song) and a Josh Groban song, so I'm pretty psyched. I'm glad someone around here can plan cool stuff that people will actually come to.
Helpful hint of the day: Use the Subway line in the CougarEat only if you really want to test how long your feet can be stood on without hurting.
