Light the World

Wow, it's been a while huh? My only excuse is that I've been really really busy. All the craziness just showed up all at once.

So let's see, what was the last that you heard? Oh yeah, let's start with Saturday. So first off, Saturday was great! First me and Brandon had a fun movie party in the library. We head over and reserve a room for a few hours. The guy grabs his keys and walks over to the rooms with us. We walk down the row of tiny rooms with a couple of chairs and decent sized tv sets. They're all full. The guy turns the corner and looks in one last room. He looks back to us and says all apologetically, "they're all full besides the big room, is that ok?". He opens the door and leads us into this mini theater! Auditorium seating, gigantic projector screen with HD capabilities, and surround sound. We just kind of say "oh yeah this is good, thanks." and walk over to the awesome screen. Ok with that? Of course we were!We watched the movie Push and a few episodes of Firefly, which is a great show by the way. Push is also a fantastic, kind of trippy movie which was made even better by the surround sound and giant screen.

After that we headed back to Hinckley where we played Slender. Oh my goodness that is a freaky game! You wander around in the dark looking for eight pages with nothing but a flashlight. Then of course there's this tall skinny guy that follows you. Or does he? You never actually see him move, he just appears in the light beam when you turn around. But he never moves. Plus you can't look at him too long or this static overwhelms you and he takes you away or kills you or something. Then of course the flashlight dies after a while so you cam't see anything and you just wander until he finds you. It's really suspenseful! The first time I saw the slender man I totally screamed and Brandon laughed at me a bit. He wasn't scared at all! My fearless companion.

Then the night proceeded to get even crazier! We headed over to the Cannon Center, where they were broadcasting the BYU v. Utah football game. The game was a bit slow during the first half. We were down pretty bad. It was 7-24 when we started coming back. The last two minutes or so were fantastic! We had fought back until we were 21-24 and we were far away from the end zone. The clock ticked down until the last play. We ran it out of bounds. All the Utah fans thought they won, so they rushed the field. The play went under official review and it was determined that there was still one second left in the game. They had to get all the fans off the field for the last play. They didn't stay there though and rushed the field again before the play was even over! The refs penalized the fans for unsportsmanlike conduct! So they gave us one last play. We tried for a field goal but the football bounced off the uprights and didn't make it through!!! Six inches to the right and it would have gone in and we would have gone into overtime!!! Oh man in was ridiculous!

All right, before I get too worked up, let's move on to Sunday. There was a huge multistake conference in the Marriott Center. Dallin H. Oaks gave a talk about being single or not and he used the analogy of having a warm jacket or not. It was really funny. Later me and Brandon were talking about the winter and I said something about taking off my jacket when I got inside. He said "Ohhhh I see how it is, we're going to stay outside all day if that's the case.". We laughed, but we did end up staying outside all day. We laid out on a blanket and read scriptures for a while and chatted and took a nap. Oh my it was so nice, I can't remember ever being so perfectly content!

Then we went up to my room (no worries, it was visiting hours) and just relaxed and talked. It was nice. Then he had to go home and our perfect weekend came to a close.

Then it was Monday, and the stress began. I missed classes, was late to a meeting, got confused on my homework, felt sick, and fell asleep all within six hours. Tuesday was a bit better, on time to class and meetings and got all my homework done. So now we're up to today. I'm midway through my classes and feeling pretty good. I understand what's being said. Well maybe that's because I'm in a business class so I actually like it.

So there you have my awesome story of my awesome weekend. There are some more awesome plans for this next weekend. I will keep you up to speed on the craziness in my life.

Later gators!
