Midnight Hike for the Secret Society of the Watchmen

 Over the summer, I decided I wanted to make a secret club at BYU. Then I watched Dead Poets' Society. And now I want to even more.

After classes and work today, I was bored. So was Allie. And Becca. And Ethan. We, mostly Ethan and I, decided we wanted to go hiking. We invited others and left at around 9:30 for Rock Canyon. The main entrance was closed, so we went behind the park and just walked right up the mountain. We looked for the ideal meeting place for our club, and found a little tiny rock bench thing. I was not content, although everyone else was. I kept going. I found this lone tree with a flattened amphitheater-like area, and it was so cool. I have decided that it will be our meeting place, despite the sucky climb to get to it. This means we can hide stuff up there and nobody will mess with it. I want to write a riddle to get people to try to find it, but it will be hard to make it tough. It needs to be permanent. That is a permanent location, so that part is fine, but I need a way to make our message permanent. Probably could make a US Geodetic Survey Marker with our logo on it or something like that. That'd be cool and totally un-mess-with-able. Then only smart people will be in this club.

I'll do it, I swear. We're supposed to go back with more people on Thursday at an earlier time so that it isn't so late.

Goodnight, my friends.

Short Bus - I mean day

 We didn't have bowling class today, which was a little bit saddening but it is alright. I got to sleep longer instead, which I needed after the post yesterday kept me up forever.

Last night, I got a fortune that said that I'd receive an overdue apology soon. Today I received an email from none other than Krew Gardner. I don't know if that's what it was referring to, but it was funny nonetheless.

I went to classes and work as usual. It was really quite short. Brennan (new character: roommate) dragged me along for Family Home Evening. We drove to Costco, and then to Sam's Club when we learned that Costco no longer has churros. Neither did Sam's Club, so we ended up at McDonalds on the ghetto side of Provo. I wanted to buy the homeless people something, but I didn't. I feel bad, but I thought they'd left cause they disappeared from the window. Then I came home and did my homework. I am a Statics god, bro. I put on my Lego Star Wars music and absolutely ruined the homework's hopes and dreams of a superior future. Tomorrow I will finish the design problem which won't be that hard. Ta da.

That's really about it. I don't have a lot to say today cause it was really a short day, so I'm gonna get some sleep now for the adventures of tomorrow.

I'm predicting it now so that it is here in writing: the Chiefs will beat the 49ers 27-14 at the Super Bowl. Following the win, Travis Kelce is going to propose to Taylor Swift on the 50 yard line. She may be on the field or she may be in the stands. Taylor Swift will then do one of 3 things: 1. She will say yes and then release an album about it in the coming 2 weeks. 2. She will say yes and then perform a song that she wrote while still at the Super Bowl. 3. She will say no, and release an album or song about it in the coming 2 weeks. As for the proposal, Travis Kelce may perform a song that he wrote, or he'll just do it like normal. He might propose with his championship ring or have another one waiting for after.

Goodnight.

Sunday Funday, tomorrow is Monday

 Sundays are always busy. I'm usually running between home(s) and campus but I do get to choose what I want to do now, so... *shrug. Today I arose somewhere in the hour of 11am. I don't usually get up that late but it was Fast Sunday so I didn't want to move for fear of using calories. I went to church at 1:30 and let me tell you, today was something else. I am all for bearing your testimony, but if you cannot speak a coherent sentence you should stay off the stage. The amount of mic breathing and windy crying that made the room shake was immense. It made something in my brain mad. The mix of "kids who just learned they have emotions" and a lack of public speaking skills was enough to make me triggered. Oh well. At least they went up. That's worth something, I suppose. Our second hour teacher kid tried to tell us where the Book of Mormon took place and showed us Google Maps in present day Oman. He showed us a big desert to the west and an area that was colored green on Google. He pointed at the green area and said that it must be Bountiful because of xyz. I don't think he understands where the map coloration comes from. Also, Oman, specifically Salalah, is probably the least convenient location that you could possibly sail to the Americas from. It is pointed the wrong direction and there are giant continents in the way. If you claim that it was in Peru, even worse. Good thing Ethan got called as a Sunday School first counselor. He is supposed to be making sure there is no false doctrine in the lessons. Hopefully things change.

Anyways, I have school tomorrow so I'm going to go to sleep now. Here is random post from my camera roll to make this post blend in so that curious minds have no particular reason to click on it.

My PF Chang's fortune today

Sunshine Man Returns

 For this fine Wednesday, I went to class. We kept manual scoring for bowling class, so I'm practically a genius now. Post class, I sat in the sunshine at some tables out by the Wilkinson Center with Ethan, Becca, and Katy. There were a couple of girls sitting at the table next to us. I heard someone's low monotone voice say "I was just walking by and thought you guys were cute." Remember doughnut guy from yesterday? IT WAS HIM! He walked up to these random girls and tried to start a conversation and then left really quickly again. After he was out of earshot, I looked over at the girls and told them about yesterday. Funny coincidence. I think he'll be back. Or married. Or both. Maybe he thought I was cute yesterday. I am wearing a "love wins" t-shirt right now.

After work, I attempted to complete my differential equations homework. I got stuck on one problem and worked for 2 hours on just the one problem. Turns out g needs to be a -9.8. Good thing the textbook says that. Oh, wait, it doesn't. With only 10 minutes remaining to drop my stuff at my apartment and make it to building 3 for my date, I left the Wilk and walked home. I brushed my teeth and walked to building 3 and was only 2 minutes late. I was the first one there. My date was really nice, she was super chill and we just talked about random stuff. Nothing too crazy, no super click story or something. I told you, I don't like dating. It sucks and it isn't for me. But it was fine. Now I have a friend named Rachel. Do you have a friend named Rachel? Probably not. Abby hasn't changed. No surprise there. Don't ask me what I mean by that. I will give you a blank stare. We did a scavenger hunt at the Riverwoods. One of the items was to take a photo with a crying child. We asked some random kids if they would pretend to cry for us. The mom walked over out of concern and we explained what it was for. She said "oh, thank you," and as we were walking away, I heard her daughters translating for her. Oops. She probably thought we were trying to steal her children. Sorry, lady. Not the case.

After that extravagant event, I went home and walked into my apartment. I saw Brennan and his girlfriend sitting at the table and heard other voices, but I thought nothing of it. I went in my room and ground out my homework. Keep in mind it was around 9:50 at this time. I worked until 11:50, so about two hours. At this moment, Ethan walks in and says, "How long have you been here?" I said I'd been here since around 10. He goes, "dude, what? I just had Allie and Isabel and Becca and Paige all over here and we were waiting for you to come back. We even looked at your location to see where you were but it said you were here. They just left 5 minutes ago" They really were waiting for me to come back, all the while I started thinking, wow, Ethan must be partying it up cause he's never out this late. Nope. They were waiting for me. I even came out twice to use the bathroom and I didn't notice because I had my headphones in. It's probably for the better because otherwise I probably wouldn't have finished my homework. I have school tomorrow. Farewell, mortals.

Fire away.

Becca finally gets a profile picture in my phone. That's what it is.
