Holy damn.

This week has been one that has taught me some valuable life lessons. Allow me to share them with you.

1) Summer is not meant for schooling. Though I had some very good reasons to take all these classes this summer I will never do so again. I plan to spend my coming summers at BYU at home, with family and friends, outdoors, and maybe working, but definitely not at school. The only way I will even consider doing so again would be if I absolutely had to and only for one class, not seven like right now. Yeah, that’s right. Seven. DAMN YOU NEAL OF THREE MONTHS AGO FOR SETTING THIS UPON ME!

2) I require much less sleep than I have previously thought. Last night I was doing homework for a few of my classes and didn’t get to bed until seven. AM. I then had to wake up at ten to get to class. That was one of the weirdest hours of my life after waking up. I wasn’t sure what I was doing and I kept thinking about alpha and z scores and all the other stupid statistics terms and formulas. I remember all of it, but I don’t think I was aware of it all until I was driving to school.

3) Pancakes are delicious. Truth be told, I knew this all along. But after working on homework for the better part of yesterday I felt the urge to eat some so I traveled to Lehi’s IHOP with Alex and Sheree where I was able to partake of their American pancake celebration. They were good but freak, they were small. I think I’ll make some pancakes tomorrow morning. Some wheat ones.

4) I need to eat. Again, I knew this all along. I just didn’t adhere to it. I grabbed some food on my way out the door this morning and didn’t eat anything until moments ago. It was worth the wait though. A Texano burrito works wonders for a person that has a drained stomach, brain, and soul like I did. I just need to be sure to remember to eat more regularly.

5) I will never have my fill of Baldur’s Gate. After finishing my burrito I plopped down onto my bed and let my mind absorb the tasty view Food Network had to offer but that wasn’t really alleviating any build up of stress I had and then a thought flashed in my juicy brain that said “When was the last time you played Baldur’s Gate?” By George! A while! I love that game. It’s so much fun and relaxing. So I got up and made the treachorous journey in the dark from my bedroom to my enterainment room and turned on my computer and got to playing. The last time I played was just before a battle with the Iron Throne organization and I remember dying a couple times. Not this time though. I trounced those bastages like the Bhaal-spawn I was. No one crosses me and gets away with it! MWA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

6) I can’t wait to get out of this place and down to Orem. My own residence. Goodness will be had by all!

So those are six things I learned this week or was reassured about. Now if you’ll excuse me I head my bed calling my name and I need to smother it with my tired body.
