Top Ten List

Well, we made it through our first two weeks of school! Hooray! It has been really weird to be back, but we are both enjoying our classes and are....so far....doing really well.

There are a few things that I picked up on during my first two weeks back. So here they are!

Katie's List of Top 10 Things she learned in the first two weeks of school:

10. Get to class early enough to get a comfortable seat, other wise it will be 50 minutes of uncomfortable Hell. My first day of my Nutrition class I was just a little later than I wanted to be, and I always try to sit on the left end of the room because I am left handed and hate bumping elbows. I ended up sitting in a broken chair that was extremely uncomfortable. Needless to say, the next class time I was 10 minutes early.

9. Don't sit behind tall guys during art history. Your notes will be lacking if you can't see the board, and you may or may not spend the entire class trying to write down what your professor says verbatim with out any luck.

8. The T-Bird Grill is gross......'nough said.

7. Some times, trees can be photogenic. So when we first got back to Cedar, I went and talked to the University Journal to see if they needed photographers. It doesn't pay much, but it helps. Well last weekend, I was given two assignments, the SUU Volleyball Tournament, and a tree. That's right, a tree. The only instructions I was given was "It's a tree adjacent to the Randall Jones Theater." Of course I took pictures of the wrong tree, but the photos I did get were pretty cool.

6. It's harder to run the stairs on campus than it used to be. When I was a criminal justice major at SUU I had to make it from lower campus to the fourth floor of the GC building on the edge of upper campus in 10 minutes and got pretty quick at it. In fact I didn't even get winded or tired.

Well, that is not the case any more.......

5. If you choose to go back to school when you are almost 30, you will get asked ALL of the time "are you really a student here."

4. Enoch has the most beautiful sunsets ever! The other night we got home just as the sun was going down and I was able to get a couple of shots of the western and eastern sky. This is why I

was excited to move back to Southern Utah.

3. Water Polo is a scary sport! Cameron is playing water polo with the club on campus, last weekend he convinced me to come watch them play. Wow....that's all I'm going to say! At one point it looked like my big goofy husband was going to give one of the other guys a hug, the POOF, the guy was no where to be found. When I asked Cameron about it he just laughed and said, "that's Tanner, he's pretty cool." So see kids, it's cool to hug your friends and then drag them underwater with your feet.

2. I love water!! I can't get enough of it, in fact, I drink more water than coke or pepsi now. Huge accomplishment!!!!

and the number one thing I have learned in being back at SUU.....

10. I can make art with out my camera! I am taking 2D Design this semester, and lets be honest, I can't draw!! Not even sort of. So this class was making me nervous. Well we spent this whole week working on our first project, we were supposed to demonstrate line. I think mine looks pretty cool.

In other news, I was hired yesterday to be the office assistant for the science department, so that is good news!!! Yeah for being employed!!! It's good to be back!
