First Sunday - 6/20/10

Let me first start by saying, HAPPY FATHERS DAY! to any of the fathers/grandfathers/uncles/father-type figures reading this.

Today was my first Sunday as a college student. I must admit, this all basically still feels like one big EFY session to me. Going to church just seemed like a regular church day (Except that we had only kids my age of course). I was assigned to play piano for today, but i don't think that it will be my full calling. I pulled off the opening and closing hymns just fine, but the sacrament hymn was... lacking. Even after simplifying it i stumbled every other measure. But nonetheless, not a bad day.

Except for this: When my roomy and i went to go to breakfast this morning, we discovered (along with several other very disappointed students) that the Cannon center doesn't serve breakfast on Sundays. This is odd to me. It would seem like Sunday is the one day they really NEED to serve breakfast. Any other day of the week students could go to the CougarEat or a food place around town to find something. But on Sunday everything is closed, so there really isn't another option. Which is why this morning i fed myself with a poptart and chocolate milk from the downstairs vending machine.

Last night, however, was a blast! It was the "finale" of the new student orientation, and they pulled out all the stops. There were 2 volleyball courts set up, a giant inflatable obstacle course, a dance floor, a ping-pong tournamnet, a bouncy house, and even a show room. In the show room there first was a dating game where a bachelorette and then a bachelor got to pick a date based on questions and stuff. Side Note: my good friend Kim Austin won the date with the bachelor. After that, they had a really really really great show done by BYU's comedy troupe "Divine Comedy". They did a great job. I will DEFINITELY be trying out for that in the fall.

And that brings us up to now. I didn't have an internet connection in here until last night, at which point in time i read my 97 new email messages to discover that i am supposed to have read the first 75 pages of my psychology book for our first week of class. Joy. I know i told myself that i wouldn't do homework on Sunday, but i really wasn't given much of a choice here. Although, in my defense, the email wasn't even sent out to us until yesterday morning. So that is what i'm going to do now. Have fun with your summer people. I'll try to do the same.
