Don't be so Juvenile!

See any similarities?
The mural on the 4th floor of BYU Harold B. Lee Library is an allusion to Raphael's School of Athens. Now I know I'm not the first to realize this, and trust me, I realized it a long time ago - in fact on New Student Orientation day, but it still makes me so happy that I know this.
Growing up, we had this painting framed in our house...from the source. We bought a print in Italy after visiting the Vatican. It is one of Raphael's Masterpieces.

We are all philosophers in our own way, especially little kids. We can learn a lot from the little juvies.

Next time you see this mural my BYU brothers and sisters, check out the list Michaelangelo wrote to himself in the foreground.

I should brush up on my Plato and Socrates?

Sharing is Caring

Time for a new post.

Currently in my language disorder class, I am transcribing a language sample and analyzing the language of a three year-old boy. He is the cutest thing since my koala beanie baby named Mel. What I'm trying to say is - he is precious. I've never felt more like a speech pathologist than when i spend hours transcribing a 20 minute sample. It's hard work, but I really like it.


This morning I dropped Belle off at the airport. Belle is my best friend whom I live, sleep, talk, dream, eat, sing, walk, run, and play with. We've known each other for a couple years, but I feel like I've been with her since childhood - she knows me so well. In fact, I feel jipped knowing that she exists now when she would have been the funnest, craziest childhood playmate back then. Bad timing. Anyway, she is going to Austin, TX (precious) to reunite with her man after two years; he served a mission in Switzerland. I'm pretty sure they are meant to be together, if not, they will remain the dearest of friends, but nonetheless, my life has changed as of 9:36 (when her plane left) this morning. I'll always have to share my best friend with someone else from now on. I know sharing is caring, but sometimes it is nice to have things all to yourself - there are some things I just don't like sharing like costa vida salads, toothbrushes, pillows, deoderant, ashybelle, but I will have to get over it.
Love you Belle.

A couple things on my mind right now:

I hate wondering if the person I was talking about heard me talking about them.
Solution: don't talk about people

I got cashmoney in my wallet, but I don't know where my wallet's at.
Solution: Keep it in my pants

Getting up early is bittersweet.
Solution: Treat yourself to a special dark chocolate piece of candy (mmmmm bittersweet)

This Week has been Delicious and its only Wednesday

I think we made it. I hope I don't speak too soon, but I think we all made it out of winter. It is gone and Spring is here and now we can rejoice.
What a beautiful week. It started with this:

This is what we did on Sunday. We are in charge of the publicity for RecycleMania. We want to make BYU the number one recycling campus in the Nation! We took some photos to advertise the event. The bottom one is just for fun.

Today was especially tasty. I got sunburned. Mum would have been very mad at me for that, but I can't help but love having the sun consume me after a harsh winter. My friends, SethPearlKristi and I had a picnic at Bicentennial Park - only one of the prettiest places in Provo. It was, should I say it again? Delicious.

One of the sweetest things about this town is Pioneer Book. I traded books for books today. I felt like I was living in older days when people traded skills, talents, and objects. It was so refreshing and fun.

The week isn't over. It's going to be full of celebration- birthday party, friday night concert, saturday house painting, and sunday worship. Hopefully, the cycle will continue and next week will be just as mouth-watering.
