I know I've committed a terrible crime in not posting in forever. It'll be a miracle if I get some readers of this particular post! I suppose I should play a little catch-up then so everyone knows what's going on.
I was asked to the Preference Dance (girl's-choice) that happened on Nov. 8. SUPER FUN!!! Her name is Michelle Lindsey. She chose the chess-themed dance, which was a black-tie formal dance. I felt happy that I was able to wear my black shirt-silver tie combo that I wore for jazz choir in high school. I really like the outfit! Michelle looked absolutely stunning in her dress! So much so that I was speechless and I failed to compliment her on it until later in the evening. She nailed me for it later, and I felt terrible about it. I don’t suggest any of you do that, no matter the circumstance. All's well though! :) Our entire group consisted of 8 people. We had to drive a little ways to get there. It was really fun. A great variety of songs coupled with great friends makes for a wonderful evening. The dance ended at 11:30. We headed to Wal-Mart and bought some root-beer ice cream, drove back to the dorms, changed, and headed to a nearby park. We stayed there until 3 AM just playing around on the play toys, having leaf fights, and enjoying each other’s company.
The Cannon Center has made huge progress since my last update. They've poured most of the foundational concrete now. The following pictures show what they've started on with the construction of the building.
For those of you who don't know, BYU has a huge rivalry with University of Utah. The big game between them is actually happening as I'm writing this (cue huge gasps and screeches of "YOU'RE NOT WATCHING THE GAME?!?!"). They make a big deal of it during the entire week previous to the game, also known as Rivalry Week. For those of you who've attended BYU (and for those interested in the explanation of the following pictures), BYU has had multiple experiences with U of U kids coming down and pranking and vandilizing BYU property. Recently BYU has come up with some solutions:
Plastic wrapping works wonders in preventing vandalism!!! Yes, this was BYU that did this; it's not a prank :D
I've also been informed that the ham radio club here patrols alongside the campus police keeping watch for pranksters! It's pretty intense!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
