BYU, Asians, Losing keys, Birthday

Currently I am sitting in the library studying some D&C and Humanities while Mindy is in her Abnormal Psychology class. It has been nice having Mindy show me the ways of BYU and I am starting to get used to the way college works. It is totally different than high school but I think once I get into a set routine I will really like it. I like how we always begin class with a prayer and that in almost every lecture there is a mormon reference or an apostle quote brought into the material. The studying is already starting and I should sneak some more in before I go home to clean the apartment and eat.

Funny moments:

I went to Mindy's Trig class with her the first day. I think Mindy is really soaking in the whole sibling at school with her and hopefully I will be able to meet her expectations of what it is like to have a sibling with you. Anyways we are in Mindy's Trig class and this Asian kid that looks like he is ten years old is dropped off by his dad.
Right when Mindy saw him she said,
"Dang it, he is going to ruin the curve"

After class, there was a BYU student taking a group of Asians around BYU campus showing them around. This group literally looked like they hadn't hit puberty yet. I thought I was pretty young starting at sixteen but now I feel like I am behind.

The first night I got here, Mindy said she was going to show me around campus. We walked around and she pointed to all these buildings that I would forget a minute later. It was pretty outside and Mindy really was fulfilling her post as an older sister quite well until we got to our apartment and Mindy couldn't find her keys. We realized that we had probably left them in the JFSB bathroom which would close at 10pm and it was currently 9:56 pm. Mindy told me to start running back to campus while she continued to look through her purse. To our dismay the JFSB was closed and we had no way of getting into our apartment. Here I am nervous that I am starting school the next day and I don't really know where anything is with the prospect of being homeless for the night. I tell Mindy that we should go back to the JFSB because someone had to have still been there. Once we get back to the JFSB I see a person walking along the glassed in hall. I start running toward the person through a bunch of bushes and I get what was a University Polices attention. He was really nice and took Mindy and I to the bathroom where we found Mindy's keys. I looked at the nice University Police officer and I noticed his Byu hat and it sure did take a couple of doubts out of my head about Byu, plus, it was a great bonding moment for Mindy and I :)

I also had a nice birthday yesterday. When I was in my foods class today we all had to introduce ourselves and say something interesting, everyone was saying generic stuff like I recently got married or their majors, I said, "I was sixteen yesterday but today I was seventeen." It is pretty weird looking around and seeing people with wedding rings or talking about their husband's MCAT scores with each other!

Ardie is...

Man I can not believe that Ardie is actually 19, crazy!!

I can't let today go by without writing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to Ardie even though if he reads this his words will be "Your soo weird."

Ardie is probably the most awesome kid that I know, actually, what the hay, he is the the most awesome kid I know.

I feel like this year ardie and I have become even more best of friends. If that is possible. Although I feel at times it is a one sided relationship :)

I love when Ardie and I have late talks into the night and we both conclude that we are over tired and need to go to bed because our comments are becoming more and more inappropriate
(whitney wonnacott). I seriously love how ardie turns into a different person at night. It makes me forget about all of the somewhat rude, but I hate to say it, true comments he makes to me during the day.

Like Mindy said his comments, although rude, are totally necessary, its weird. People could look at it as "man your brothers mean" but I get used to it and I hate to admit it but Ardie would not be special if he didn't make those seriously funny comments.

Ardie, thank you for taking care of me when the parents are gone, even though It makes me feel guilty about all of my terrible homemaking skills when you do the wash, dishes and dinner!

I also love your white boy moves!! "Teach me how to Jimmer" was epic! Represent!!!

Another thing I love about Ardie is he lives for the future. I always feel like ardie sees ahead of him while we sometimes get caught up in the present. I have loved watching him change into a mature pre-missionary. Ardie's increased spiritually this year has been admirable to watch. Thank you for setting an example for your little sister!


Love You bro!

Uhhhh okay?

Life is tons of discipline. Your first discipline is your vocabulary; then your grammar and your punctuation Then, in your exuberance and bounding energy you say you're going to add to that. Then you add rhyme and meter. And your delight is in that power.

On Sunday...

Ardie : "Kirsten lets play Take Two."

Me: "Ardie Why? That game doesn't even work with two people."

Ardie: "Kirsten we need to expand our vocabularies or else we aren't going to get any where."

Kirsten: "Uhhhh okay?"

Ardie: "Ohh and besides your the one who needs it, not me"

(These are the words ardie came up with.
Ummm Yeah ardie I think you need a lot more help than a little game can provide.)

( The words Webster and I came up with while ardie went to the bathroom.)

In the end I told Ardie I cheated so he would stop worrying that he had an under cover genius for a sister.

HATE SCHOOL!!

I Really Hate School maybe because it feels like I start homework from 1:30 pm to 9:30 pm and need to finish the next day in school. How come I feel this way and It is only the fourth day uggggghhhhhhhh. Isn't senior supposed to be good (easy). Hopefully it cools down or there is some routine... I also hate virtual for not letting me sign in, come on. Well come june noooo mooooreee High School hopefully.
