Live and Learn

So, this is the second attempt at writing this post. The first was way too sappy, and that's just not how I roll. I have learned a ton from this last semester at the University of Utah, and most of the things learned, I'm sure, will be of use to some of my readers, and if nothing else, entertaining. So, here's the list:

1) Anthropology is a class, not a store. In an effort to repel episodes of suicidal boredom, I will NEVER EVER sign up for a class that has absolutely nothing to do with my major, regardless of what my "advisor" tells me to do.

2) Though films of people falling and breaking their leg are funny, YouTube is not a very effective substitute for paying attention in class.

3) A little a$$ kissing never hurt anyone. In my political science (see #1) class, I developed a good relationship with my professor, who ended up giving me all the info I needed for our in class debate. That meant no research for me! Hahahahahahaha! (Evil laugh like it was all part of my sinister plan)

4) Worst enemies to studying: My laptop, Halo 3, winter doldrums, blogging, 9:00pm classes, replacing the drywall in our apartments, working (if done too much, and 30 hours a week is too much for me), did I mention Halo 3, and of course my car busting.

5) Utah really does have the best football team on earth. I feel that 2008 Utes would beat Ditka in a fight.

6) The federal government apparently has a minimum G.P.A. requirement to qualify for student loans. OOPS!

So, there you have it. They're just a few things I have taken from this semester at the U. Now if I could just get my effing car to start, I'd be off to school right now!

Oh and PS: I know there are several people reading/following this blog. I'd love to get a shout out, especially from my friends in Florida, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Missouri, North Carolina, Ireland, France, and Singapore. These are where I get the most readers (that actually spend some time and read my posts) from. Please just leave me a quick comment, as it would make my day!

Thanks!
