So, I received a text earlier today reminding me not to let my snoaching skills get rusty. Excuse me? Need I remind you that I have a ward directory with everyone's pictures on it now?
Apparently, I'm not the only snoacher here at BYU. In my biology class, there's this boy who always sits next to me. The first time we talked, he asked where I lived. I told him Wyview. He asked if I knew his brother, Chris *******. I said no, but for all I know he could be in my ward because I don't really know most everybody yet. I never did ask the kid for his name, so all I knew was his last name. The rest of the month passed by without me ever figuring it out until one day I looked at his paper as we were passing it in. His name is Bryan.
So Bryan and I continue to talk everyday, just small meaningless conversations. Until all of a sudden this past class he started talking to me about people in my ward! He was like, yeah, I know that your ward gets together all the time and does such and such. Oh and I went on a date with so-and-so from your ward, etc... And I was like WHAAAAT?! How does he know what ward I'm in. So I looked his brother up in the ward directory. That's how he knows. But it's still strange because I've never talked to his brother in my life.
But of all the creeper moves, mine from yesterday in the wee hours of the morning takes the cake. I sleep with my phone on my bed, see? Because I don't have an alarm clock and I can't leave my phone on the desk otherwise I'd wake Marley up, and I don't want to be rude. I've been worried since the first night that my phone would slip through the space between the bed and the wall and clatter loudly to the floor. It did.
It woke me up. I'm not sure whether or not it completely woke Marley up, though, but her breathing changed and she fidgeted in bed. I felt bad. But I went back to sleep because I was dead tired. I woke up later with a sick feeling in my stomach, knowing that my phone wasn't on my bed. What if I don't hear it go off? (I keep it really quiet, so if it were under the bunk bed, I probably wouldn't hear it.) What if it wakes Marley up? Then I'd feel like a jerk. So, I got out of bed to retrieve it.
Book light in hand, I got to the floor and examined the wall my bed is parallel to. I couldn't remember where on the bed my phone had been that night, but I was hoping it wouldn't have gone in the section where our beds overlap. It did. Now here's the creeper part. I got underneath Marley's desk and shined the light under her bed, around all of the suitcases and notebooks and instruments she has under her bed. And I realized that the phone was in the corner. So I was going to have to crawl (awkwardly) as quietly as I could through/around/overish all her stuff to get my phone. The whole time I did it I was praying that she wouldn't wake up. How creeped out would you be if you woke up at 3 in the morning and you found your roommate halfway sticking out from under your bed? And to get her cell phone out from underneath it? A likely story. Luckily I finished the mission quickly and Marley is none the wiser.
Last night was my club's first activity. Only, like, 6 kids who weren't officers showed up. I felt bad for the professors who were speaking. And we'd bought 3 dozen donuts, 2 dozen of which ended up in the faculty lounge of the JFSB at the end of the night. So for some reason, I felt like I'd kind of wasted my time and was a bit of a failure and I was tired, so I was in a really weird/hyper mood when I got home. I might have freaked my roommates out a bit. But we decided to "ghost" a few of our neighbors. I made pumpkin cookies and printed out a cute picture of a ghost and some cute purple and orange instructions. It was raining, so it was way fun running through the rain after leaving the goodies on a few people's doors with my roommates. I think they had fun and I'm glad they were good sports because they were just as tired as I was. It was funny, though, because after I made the first batch of cookies, Marley decided she liked them a lot and asked if we had enough ingredients for a second batch. So I made two batches right in a row, and they are all already gone.
Speaking of it raining yesterday (sort of), it was pretty crazy. Everyone is saying that we just skipped fall, but I don't buy it. If it were really winter, it would be snowing everywhere, not just in the mountains. But it WAS super cold. And the cold rain and the cold wind and the cold air in general was not a good mix. So I drove to school. I figured that since I was driving I didn't need to wear anything warm. I was wrong. So after my first class, I went to the bookstore and bought a sweatshirt and a "Rise Up" t-shirt, both of which I'd been meaning to buy anyway.
I'm proud to say that I didn't drive to school every day this week. I walked to school this morning, and let me tell ya. No matter how tired you are when you get up, when you walk 30 minutes in the bitter cold to get to campus, you are alert in your first class.
After school, I took the stupid connector box thingy back to Radio Shack and (since it was nearish by) bought a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts. They made me happy. Then I took a nap. Then I woke up and helped Sarah clean the apartment. Now I'm passing the time and soon I will be making lasagna and breadsticks for the boys who are coming over for dinner tonight.
Hasta luego!
