Tell Me I'm A Screwed Up Mess

Well I think for a refreshing change I'm gonna start this blog with some actual valid information about my life! I have just finished my last final for at least 2 years! I won't have to worry about classes or school for about 20 months. That's CRAZY!! I'm a little worried that this free time will now allow me to have more time to worry about my mission, but hopefully I'll stay busy and continue to get more and more excited about serving! The fact that I'm done with school has actually yet to hit me. I keep getting it in small bursts (I'M DONE!) of energy. See there was one right there. They're just little moments where I realize that I'm done with my marathon of a school year. (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...no that isn't a little ditty to help you remember the seasons that's the semesters I was in school this last year) Maybe I should've put off writing this blog until my brain had fully recovered from what I asked of it this past week, but I'm a Messerly. I press right on through the tired and into the crazy. (That last phrase is an example of why my brain shouldn't be trying to do the words into sentence becoming thing)

At this point I kind of feel like the fish at the end of Finding Nemo...now what? Well I guess I know what, but I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going get from this point right now to the point where I walk into that MTC. How am I going to get ready for that spiritually? How will I get ready to say goodbye to the people I love so much that as I'm writing this sentence I'm tearing up? How will I get ready for the physical changes? How will I get ready to only have two pairs of shoes to choose from? (Always have to end on a funny note, right?) I don't know. We'll see. These next 27 days will answer all of those questions and once I'm in the MTC...more questions will come. That's life. One of my favorite lessons from my Book of Mormon class this semester was that the Book of Mormon is a book with thousands of questions and one answer. The Savior.

Man it got real up in that paragraph. On to things that are more fun (or funner if you're not Brittanye). At the end of the school semester I like to try and discover things that I've learned the past 4 months. Not the things in the curriculum (that would be quite the list) but the things that are a little more applicable to the real world. The extra things this wonderful University has left me with.

• The sexier your teacher is the more likely you are to come to class. Even if class is pointless.
• You will never actually have a chance with said teacher...but it's fun to look at him.
• The university is very clear students shouldn't date their TA's but I've yet to hear a rule about dating teachers. 
• It is possible for a classroom of 100 people to all zone out at the same time.
• Doing this during class: 

• ...doesn't effect the amount you're learning from class at all. 
• Eliminating your Vitamin Water budget (cause Mom buys them now) saves quite a bit of money.
• Going to a class that isn't your own is actually really fun! Mainly because you know you won't be accountable for anything that is said there! (I guess unless it's a religion class, but in that case you're accountable in an entirely different way. Nevermind.(what the crap blogger! Nevermind is so a word! Right?? (also one of my biggest pet peeves is when people forget to close their parenthesis))) (See. I closed every one.
• It is possible to doodle about One Direction for 2 hrs. 
• I will go to a class, knowing that I'm not going to pay any attention, just because it's an excuse to doodle.
• Having a friend in class with you is great! You can study and complain together.
• Having a friend in class with you is awful! Going to lunch together at Zupas always sounds like a better option than going to class.
• Showing up for a final 30 minutes late is the best way to ensure you don't second guess yourself on any questions.
• Only at BYU would the teacher be totally fine knowing that you had to get your test out of the folder that happened to have the answer key laying on top of it because you showed up 30 minutes late and he wasn't in the room.
• Pregnant teachers can disappear at any moment. When they reappear they seem much more tired.
• Being slightly happy that your teacher was hit by a car and has to now undergo physical therapy doesn't appear to give you bad karma. Unless it's time-release karma...or something.
• I've committed sexual harassment at work.
• Ethics at BYU turns into a Sunday School class.
• There are 5 year-olds that can sing better than you. Two of them are my Book of Mormon teacher's children.
• Some people don't read back over their papers. Somewhere English teachers are rolling in their graves.
• I'm actually not that jealous of people who are graduating anymore. I love BYU.
• No college student should have access to a DVR unless they have the self-control of someone who used dial-up internet without having the urge to throw their computer across the room. 
• Having a mission call is by far the best line to pull when you don't want to pursue a relationship with someone. It's even better when you don't have to lie about it. 
• Being passed by 60 year old men while going up the RB stairs isn't anything to be ashamed of. You have lots of heavy books in your backpack!
• I have apparently become that person who always takes over the group project and does way too much. 
• Google Docs allows you to completely change group presentations and papers without having to confront any of your group members about the changes in person. 
• Not every person knows how to speak "sarcasm." Those people are very dangerous. They also leave every conversation with me very confused. 
• I've been awarded "most sarcastic girl I've ever met" by about 8 people this year.
• It's actually quite easy for me to fall asleep while Brittanye is laying on top of me.
• Sometimes the pretty guy is also so, so dumb. 
• Your opinions of people can change. (I'm not talking about the guy above though...seriously I felt like a was talking to a 16 year old.)
• Whenever anyone asks me where we should go to lunch the one and only thing I think is Zupas.
• It's inevitable that once you get to the computer lab, sit down, and have your headphones in you'll realize you have to go to the bathroom.
• I love that my family lives in Springville!! Living at home while still being able to hang out with my wonderful friends has made this semester extra awesome and the perfect preparation for my mission!

Yeah, yeah I know. This blog wasn't that spazy or funny. But it was a little spazy and funny right?? Right?? I need validation people! But if I've learned anything from my favorite blogger EVER it's that between hilarious blog posts you can get real sometimes. That blogger is Eli...I don't actually know him but his blog is HILARIOUS! Seriously if you think I'm even kind of funny read his blog and you'll realize I have a long way to go before I can emulate my hero. His blog is itjustgetsstranger.blogspot.com. Mom and Dad...not sure you'd be able to handle his humor because it's even more spaztic than mine :)
