Takin a break

I'm supposed to be studying my brains out for a psychology test, but I've been in class and doing homework since about 8:45 this morning. I've eaten lunch, but ditched out on the shower idea . . . something I NEVER do because I HATE being dirty. . . and am now sitting down to have a ten minute break. :) School is going well! I have 16 credit hours and am working 13 hours a week at Jamba Juice. I tried to figure out how much free time I would have if I was really doing the homework schedule - 2 hours a week for every credit hour the class is, or whatever - and technically, not including sleeping 8 hours a night, I should have 23 hours of free time. This is not including Sunday, so I just made it a 6 day week. I have no idea where those 23 hours are . . . I haven't had 2 to rub together yet! I really like working because then I get a paycheck! Today was payday, which just makes the day lovlier. I wish they didn't take so much out for taxes, but so it is. I like payday because then I can get out of debt. I owed a roommate for a choir concert ticket and I owed Trevor for Sushi! I love sushi . . . oh deliciousness . . . anyway. My ten minutes is up. I have to study/read/memorize Psychology stuff now. Much Love!! - Lyndi

Can you tell school has started?

Let me count the ways . . .

1. 34,000 students leave the buildings on campus every hour at ten minutes to the hour, rushing from the MARB to the HFAC and the RB to the Wilk. Notice that is Wilk not WSC.
2. Lunch now has lines, which at some establishments, namely Taco Bell, turn corners and run down halls.
3. Computers and Parking Spaces are the most coveted items on campus, with perhaps the exception of iClickers.
4. Remember #1? It took me at least 6 minutes to get OUT of the MARB Wednesday after class. It's a good thing I know how to walk really fast and that the HFAC is not totally strange to me.
5. WalMart is stripped bare
6. Costco is stripped bare
7. Macey's is stripped bare
8. I'm hungry . . .
9. It's cooling off . . . really quickly!!
10. The Cougars won the football game against Nothern Iowa last Saturday and are playing Washington tomorrow
11. I'm in the library wasting time . .. oh wait, I did that in the summer too . . .
12. Cute boys have seemingly repopulated the face of the Earth but one of them is really busy
13. I'm really busy!
14 . . . here's a picture to prove that school has started, or at least support that school has started and to liven up my blog a bit.

A Most Excellent Tradition . . . Rain or Snow . . . or massive amounts of sunshine that burn me every year, with or without protection.

I may want to sing, "Blue are the skies that reach above us! Blue are the lakes and mountain's feet. Golden the grain our harvests yield, golden the sheaves of ripening wheat. Then Sing Hurrah! for the Gold and Blue, sing loud and let it's praises ring! To our dear gold and blue, we ever will be true Hip Hurrah for the Gold and Blue!" or even "We love Moapa High School! Dear Gold and Blue! We love our colors! To thee, our hearts are true as blue we love every inch of you. Cheer Moapa High School. Fight Team! and never say die! We'll fight for our high school, Moapa High! With a Hip Hurrah! MV Rah Rah, MV Rah Rah! There's nothin' the matter us, Rah Rah! MV Rah Rah! MV Rah Rah there's nothin' the matter with us!" But really I'm singing,

Rise, all loyal Cougars and hurl your
challenge to the foe.
We will fight, day or night, rain or snow.
Loyal, strong, and true
Wear the white and blue.
While we sing, get set to spring.
Come on, Cougars, it’s up to you. Oh!

Chorus:
Rise and shout, the Cougars are out
Along the trail to fame and glory.
Rise and shout, our cheers will ring out
As you unfold your vict’ry story.
On you go to vanquish the foe
For Alma Mater’s sons and daughters.
As we join in song in praise of you our
faith is strong.
We’ll raise our colors high in the blue
And cheer our Cougars of BYU.

Rah rah rah rah rah!

Rah rah rah rah rah!

Rah rah rah rah rah!

GOOOOOOOO COUGARS!!!! :D
