A bird...pooped on my head

So, I went to the temple with Tootie last Saturday morning. It was very enjoyable. As we were leaving, we walked under a tree and I felt something land on my head. I just thought it was a rain drop so I reached up and brushed it away. When I looked at my head, there was a streak of white on it. I was like "What? No way." And I finally convinced myself that a bird had decided that it need to relieve itself right when I was walking underneath it. Yes. It does happen. I never want it to happen again.

A Sudden Realization

I was sitting in class earlier this week (CS124), in which my professor was giving a demonstration on the lab due on Thursday. Every couple of minutes from the beginning of class, the beginning of the "Charge" song would play. After a while it got very irritating and I kept thinking to myself, "Why doesn't whoever that phone belong to put it on silent?!" It was very frustrating and I was just a little annoyed. Just now, I connected my newly acquired equipment for said class and guess what it did as soon as I plugged it in to my computer? It played the "Charge" intro. Then a couple minutes later, it played it again. This jogged my memory from Monday and I figured out what had been making the noise throughout lecture. No wonder my teacher didn't get mad--he knew where it was coming from! It all makes sense now. And there's my sudden realization for the day.

Fun Times

So, it's been a fun last few weeks. Lots of adventures. Sadly, not a lot of pictures. We went up to the Piggs over President's Day and had a blast. It was so much fun to see them and just relax for a few days. I was very proud of myself because I was able to get all of my homework done before going up there. Which meant, of course, that I could actually relax and not worry about school. We had fun playing with the kids and spending time with Kristi and Chris.

I had a physics test that week after President's Day, which I did pretty well on. Much better score than my first test. Didn't have another test until this last Monday, which I got 100% on. Yep, that's right, 100%. :)

Last Friday, Jess and I and a bunch of friends went to see a Vocal Point concert. If you don't know, Vocal Point is a men's accappella group here on campus. They are phenomenal. Our home teacher is in it, so that's how we heard about it. Anyways, it was a great performance. Here's the link to their website: http://www.byuvocalpoint.com/ There's also some fun clips on youtube. Anyways...

Things are going pretty well here in Provo. Can't really complain. Well, I could but I'm not going to. :)

Bored out of my MIND

I'm sitting here in the computer lab, waiting for help with my CS 142 lab that's due today. I've been waiting for well over half-n-hour for a ta to come in. Evidently there are more important people than me on the help list. I'm almost done with the assignment there's just a couple pesky little problems that I can't figure out. So I thought to myself, "Jessica, why waste all this time just sitting here?" so I decided to check my email, facebook, and everybody's blog. And still no assistance so all of you guys get to hear about my experience. Isn't that fun?
So the lab I'm working on is writing methods for a credit card. Luckily, I don't have to write the driver because then I would be sitting in this chair even longer, which would NOT be cool.
I had an enchilada for lunch today, along with an orange. I made two batches of enchiladas last Saturday for this specific reason. It was pretty good but I wish I had cooled them off in the refrigerator before I wrapped them individually because the tortilla was a little soggy.
GOOD NEWS: I finally got a calling in my student ward. I'm the new "mom" in my FHE group. Our old mom went to Peru for an internship this semester. I haven't had to do much, mainly delegating assignments for FHE. I texted "dad" last night to see what the plan was but then went to bed early. Well, he called about an hour later and woke me up. It took all my concentration to stay focused on our conversation and then he asked at the end if he had woken me up. I said "Maybe" and he felt really bad. I didn't really care because we needed to figure out a plan but I hope I wasn't too incoherent throughout. Anyway....................................
Still waiting for help

OH! Jennifer and I are hoping to drive up to Rigby this Friday and spend the weekend with Kristi because Monday is President's Day. We have to get several shifts off at the MTC because for some strange reason, they rescheduled the Tuesday shifts to Monday and visa versa because we have Monday classes on Tuesday. Why they did this I have no idea--they didn't do it last year and I'm really frustrated because its just one more thing to worry about. Oh well, hopefully even if we don't get them off, we can talk to a manager about getting excused.
How I'm sure everyone is sick of me rambling on so I'll go ahead and stop. BTW, I'm still waiting.........

Provo Adventures

I needed a break from studying so that means you guys get an update about our lives. And pictures because I bought a new camera! So, here it goes.

On Saturday, we went with some friends to go see Unstoppable, which was very good. Denzel Washington and Chris Pine acted were great together. We got this free poster which is now on our wall.

These are some pictures of the "math room" I made for my History of Creativity class. It's a room that depicts the history of math. I was pretty proud of it and got 100% on it.

These are some drawing Jessica did for her Drawing class. She's got quite a few others ones but I'm not sure which ones she wants posted.

After the movie on Saturday, we filled the car up. We noticed that they guy in front of us couldn't get his receipt. With that in mind, when I went to get mine, I looked in the receipt printer and noticed that I could see part of the receipt. So, I got a card and used it to grab the end. Then I proceeded to pull out the last 5 or 6 receipts that had printed. I tore off mine but Jessica insisted that we get a picture before I threw the rest away.

Catching Up

Well, here's a little update from the Twins. :) Finals ended well for Fall Semester and we both got decent grades in our classes, though not the straight A's we were hoping for. We went home for Christmas and had a great time with family and friends. It wasn't nearly long enough before we had to trek back to Utah. After giving various people a bunch of money for rent, books, and food we started school on Tuesday. The first week has gone pretty smoothly with nothing exciting happening. I'm taking a bunch of math classes which I'm excited about but which will also be a lot of work. Jess, now that she's decided on a major, is taking a few classes that will allow her to eventually apply for that major. Well, I think that's it. Hopefully we'll update a little more frequently this semester instead of just having these short brief ones that don't really tell you what's going on. :)
