What does two girls who don't want to do homework or go to sleep lead to?...a midnight excursion lasting two hours longer than expected.
Janna and I decided that we were going to go creep on a boy (aka...do a drive by of his house) because we had nothing else to do (which is a lie because we both had homework but didn't want to do it). This little adventure started at around 11pm and it was just going to to be a 10 minute trip. However, on the way home, I decided I wasn't ready to go to sleep so I said we should go for a little drive. This "little" drive took us down state street and as we passed In n' Out we both decided we wanted some, but we would get it on the way back. We drove down state a ways and then turned around to go get our food.
While in the drive through, we saw a gorgeous guy working inside and we just sat there and smiled and waved at him. He never saw because his back was turned but we still tried anyways. We ended up getting animal style fries (one of the best things ever!) and a strawberry shake and we just sat in the parking lot and at it. Yummy food at midnight is awesome.
After the food I started being annoying in the parking lot, driving really fast and then slamming on my breaks whenever I got to a speed bump. We went through the lot three or so times doing this and whenever I saw someone, we would start yelling out the windows making really weird sounds. They just looked at us funny...they just didn't get our sense of humor, poor souls.
On the way back to the apartment, Janna wanted to go to Y Mountain and spy on the people making out there. I was easily persuaded and so we started heading up in the general direction. Since neither of us knew the exact way to get there, we managed to take every road we could find that seemed to head up hill in the general direction of the Y. A half our later we found it and spied through the steamy windows. There were some intense make out sessions going on and made us laugh. We also found some people in strange situations...as in the guy was sitting in the back seat but with no visible evidence of the girl...hmmm. Scandalous! Haha!
After we got sick of watching other people make out, we headed back towards campus and we decided to be annoying like freshman. This means we drove around Wyview and Helamen Halls and screamed/made weird noises to anyone we passed. I'm almost positive that they were judging us. How rude!
I think the best part of the night came when we went into the stadium parking lot and drove around doing doughnuts. So much room to play!!! There was a couple sitting in this tower thing that was in the middle of the parking lot and I started driving circles around it while Janna yelled out the window. I wish I knew what there reaction was because we were really obnoxious.
When we finally made it back to the apartment after 1 am, we went to our separate rooms. I laid in bed for about 20 minutes but I couldn't fall asleep and I got up to see if Janna's light was still on. Thankfully it was, so I went into her room and we started looking at engagement rings on ebay from the most expensive to least. There was a 6 million dollar ring. I think it was 18 carats or something. We just looked at the rings for about a half hour until we both got tired, and that was the midnight excursion. I think Janna and I were a little stressed and we needed an outlet. It was perfect!

Professor Umbridge
Pretty sure I have a bonafide Professor Umbridge as one of my teachers.
For one of our assignments in my class, we were to read Lincoln's second inaugural address and then imitate his style in our own paper. He used a bunch of passive voice to reduce blame on the South or the North and to help heal the difference between the two. We were supposed to do the same thing but in a hypothetical situation. I wrote about the Cold War and what would happen if it hadn't ended. I wrote a speech that could potentially have been given at some conference and how it called for the people to put away their difference and fix the problem that had plagued them for decades. Like I said...completely hypothetical.
My friend Gabriel wrote about the second coming and what Christ would say about the descenting 1/3. He wrote the speech as if Christ said he would forgive everyone because of his love for mankind and that we all are brothers and sisters. Gabe did not believe Christ would forgive the descenting third, he just wrote about "healing the wounds" like our teacher wanted us to. When we got our papers back, our teacher gave him a C because she couldn't look past his doctrinal errors. She told him that he used the passive voice correctly, but she couldn't give him a fair grade because he was incorrect. Ghaaa...she is so annoying. He just had a conference with her today and she changed her mind about why he got a C and said he had "unclear sentences" and not doctrinal errors. Seriously? She was just covering her butt so that he didn't have a fight he could put up against her. She also told him he had to re-write another one of his papers for who knows what reason. I peer reviewed that paper and it was exactly what she wanted. I got mine back and I got an A on it and I can tell you that Gabe's was as good or better than mine. She just hates him and is vendictive. There was nothing wrong with either of his papers, but for some reason she has a chip on her shoulder and is taking it out on him.
Evil...nazi...lady!
Why do the worst teachers get tenure? A slap on the wrist won't teach them how to be good teachers. They need a real punishment for treating students unfairly.

Last Semester Awesomeness
So I decided I wanted to play my last semester as an undergrad so I decided to take floral design, mission prep from supposedly the coolest (and easiest) teacher on campus, a poetry class, and a writing fiction class. So excited! I have my senior capstone class, also, but I really have no idea what its about (the section heading says it "Feast of Foodways in Life and Literature." Yeah...that's descriptive). I signed up for it because it was the easiest teacher out of the bunch and I figured I want an easy A and to be able to not be stressed during my senior year cause that's how I roll. Yay for only taking 14 credits!
Das ist alles.
