Sitting In Kayla's Biology Class

I think my brain has turned to mush. But seriously. This is what I get for saying yes to a late shift at work today... Hanging out at the University until I have to go to work. Which means, tagging along with Kayla to her class because I don't do well by myself... here's what I've done while Kayla learned what Photosynthasis is:
  1. finished my last two packets from Astronomy (Oooh... Slacker. I know.)
  2. Looked up the Disney College Program (I might be working at Disney Land. Watch out.)
  3. Endorsed my paycheck. Thank  you UVU for having a branch right downstairs.
  4. Checked Facebook
  5. Wished I had service in this classroom...
This is why I shouldn't bring my laptop to class. I lose focus. And then I remember that this isn't even my class. I'm just here. And that in MY classes, two of my professors don't allow laptops, one doesn't care WHAT you do, as long as you pass the tests and turn in the homework, and one is WAAY to entertaining to even touch anything electronic. Man, do I have it made. :)

Aaaand there's still half an hour left in this class. Yay. I've never been happier that I'm not taking Biology in my life. (And then I remember that I pretty much HAVE to in order to graduate... Yay.) I do like that her professor has a microphone though. And he's not obnoxious like my History professor is. So far he's getting an A. Ok. Off to netflix to watch videos now. :)

Bill Nye The Science Guy

Guess What Today Is???
Today is the day that my childhood hero (and Jr High/High School science entertainer) comes to my university. BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!! (You're all saying "Science RULES." in your heads right now, huh? It's ok. So did I.) I can't even describe to you my level of excitement. Even the 3 year old girl sitting in front of me understands how exciting this is. Kayla saved me a seat and told me she was watching Bill Nye on her dad's iPad, then turned around with huge eyes going "Bill Nye......!" Awesome. My children will be that cool.

Bill Nye starts in 13 minutes. I really can't wait. Oh, by the way, this brings the Tyler/Sarah school competition to: Sarah 3 Tyler 1/2. Actually, bump that up. Sarah 5 Tyler 1/2. Kayla reminded me that we kyak in our fountains and have drive in movies. State school over private school, competition rocked.

Remember those days in the 90's when PBS would play Bill Nye and you'd sit there and freak out over the experiments? Then when the show was over you'd run upstairs to tell Mom everything you learned and try the experiments for yourself? But you'd never get it right? Yeeeeaah... And then you "grew up" and Bill Nye wasn't cool anymore because they made you watch him in your science class when your teacher didn't want to teach? I'm sorry, Bill. I will never sin again. Because today, a lifelong dream is being fulfilled. And you are standing less than 25 feet away from me. In all your Bill Nye glory. And my life is complete.

Growing Up means..........
~ Drooling over attractive men in movies
~ Attending college classes then skipping them (Kayla. Tyler. Shame.)
~ Getting overly excited about a lecture at college (BILL BILL BILL BILL!)
~ Loving everthing about life. :)

It's the College Life For Me!

UVU and I have recently become very good friends. The kind of friends that damage one another's souls and leaves you crying, that is... :/ Oh, college.... I'm not gonna lie, it's awesome. I get there early in the morning and finish before noon. Take that High School. That's right. You're all just having lunch by then, and I'm DONE so HA! (Yes, Tyler, I am aware that you had that schedule after Wrestling was over... You suck. :P)
Anywho. I've discovered that College classes are not quite all they've been talked up to be. Thank you again, High School, for making me overly freaked out over my future. I've got another 2 1/2 semesters before that kind of inpending doom looms over my head. Bachelors Degree... Not excited for you. Who knew I'd be spending 3 years in LITERATURE classes??? Oh wait. English Major. Riiiiight...

I've also come to realize the magic that is the Losee Center. 2 hours between classes+Dracula+REALLY comfy armchairs= Best 2 hours spent every other day. Also made better by chatting with Holly, Kayla, Alex, and sometimes Mike or Austin. I like to call it "Advanced High School." :) But it's still fun. Other fun times include: Drive in Movies, green pancakes on Wednesdays, chatting with my MARRIED friends (oye.), BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY (Tomorrow!! Eeee!! Does BYU have Bill Nye? No. Sarah 1, Tyler 1/2.), Charmed in the Library (plus donuts!), planning camping trips then remembering BYU doesn't have a fall break (Sarah 2 Tyler 1/2.), and walking around campus being attacked by people I never see anywhere else. :) Life is good.

UVU I'm glad we're friends. :)
