Hey, how is it going on this beautiful morning!? I would say if I had to give  a TED talk I would not be prepared to talk on anything that people would want to hear about Haha but If I had time to prepare I would do it on some sort of genetic technology and take time to learn more about all of that
Hello again! I am not sure would I would give a ted talk on. I would possibly give it on Perfectionism or promoting mental health awareness. I feel that would be very helpful At Byu. I bet someone would be happy to hear abuot a technology tis d talk Ted talk, sorry, typo.
Oh that definitely would be helpful No worries I agree that people would be really interested I am loving how beautiful the weather is, like it is making everything so much easier. And instead of binge watching shows I am spending more time outside
There are tons of people who are itnersted sorry, keyboard malfunction again. I love the weather! I keep worrying it is going to randomly start snowing any minute. I feel a lot more people are outside today than they Have been in the past few weeks! I went to the duck pond yesterday with my husband in the south of campus and watched lots of families taking walks. It is also fun to see the Baby ducks!
Haha yeah, I would prefer if it didnt snow again. Because that just puts a damper on things. There are baby ducks?!! I need to go over there and check it out
They are so cute! They are sometimes hard to find because they are so small, but they are adorable. There are not as many as there usually are this time of year sadly. There Will probably be more within the next few weeks. There is also this giant duck that I am pretty here is half goose. It his HUGE and slightly creepy. It acts like a goose and Sounds like a goose, is big like a goose, has the neck of a goose, but looks like a duck.
I really dont like geese. At all When I was smaller than them one chased me and I have despised them since Even though now I am much larger, they still terrify me
I do not blame you. I almost got chased by a peacock in a zoo as a child. Another time I got chased my chickens at my cousins farm. And, at one of those bird feeding places at A zoo, I was swarmed by little parakeets. I am not a bird person. But baby ducks are an exception because they are more adorable than scary.
Thats way funny, I mean I love birds in general, like I have a parrot. But Sometimes they can just be so mean and I dont like them Baby ducks are just symbols that there is still good in the world
Birds are great as long as they aren't swarming you, chasing you, or glarin at you with those beady little eyes. Baby ducks are just this adorable little fluff balls with cute Little bills and feet!
hahahaha yeah, my parrot is a smaller one and he is just a colorful fluff, and he likes to snuggle my neck. Thats why I love him But spot on with the beady eyes. those can be terrrifying My roommate has an alarm that sounds like seagulls and the first day it went off I almsot fell out of bed I couldnt figure out why seagulls were in my room and it was terrifying
Why would someone have an alarm with seagulls? That is terrifying! I know they are the state bird of Utah, but I do not believe that qualifies them to be an alarm clock sound!
RIGHT!? Its supposed to be like a beach like theme to wake you up But its just waking up to a nightmare Now I am more used to it but still
A beach theme makes more sense. If it was just seagulls, it would either think it is from finding Nemo (as in super annoying and loud), or that someone has a very odd obsesoin The beach waves without the seagulls make more sense in my mind.
Hahaha, I agree I would prefer the sound of crashing waves But in general I am a little biased against alarm clocks I always get so annoyed with them because they all eventually are so repetitive
I would like the waves, too. Unless they are too crashy, then I would feel I Am in a shipwreck. Then again, I would get out of bed super fast. I do not like alarm clocks eithe I have gotten to the point where I do not need one to wake up when I want to, but on days where I need to get up earlier, they are still not my favorite.
I am so impressed by people who dont need alarm clocks I like sorta get that but I wake up around the same time, I just fall back asleep because I dont get out of bed
I used to not be that way, but since I got married, we have set a goal to get more sleep. Turns out if you get to sleep around the same time each night, your body will get acc A costumed to it and will wake you up when you need it. If you keep the same habit for a while, you will actually need an hour less of sleep each day!
I totally believe that, my sleep schedule just gets thrown off like on a weekly basis. And then it just goes down hill My brothin law is one of those people who gets up at 4 every morning
That is my husband. Except he gets up at 3:30. It is crazy how much more he can get done!
I am impressed. Very impressed if you dont mind me asking, what time does he, or yall, usually go to bed?
9:30 is our bed time. We have the lights out at 9, though, and do not use technology so our brains can slowly turn off. We then just chat with one another, review the day,
Thats awesome!
Pray, and get ready for bed. It was a bit challenging at first, but we have both noticed how much more energy we have because we do that. I recommend it. It sounds crazy because most college students ar up until 3 doing homework, but by having an early bedtime, we can get up earlier, be healthier, and get more d One overall.
I started out going to sleep at 10:30, and its made its may to midnight I should do so much better
It is about baby steps. Just set a goal for 11:30 and plan our your day. The next week, change it to 11. It will take saying no to some things you want to do,  but you would Be amazed at how much easier it will be to get more things done if you go to bed earlier. It is easier for us since we are married, but even when we were dating we would set a Time to go home and be in bed. With time, patience, and practice, anything is possible!
Thanks for the advice and encouragement! It definitely seems do-able I always feel so much better when I get enough sleep
Your roommates will probably think you are crazy, but it is worth it. And it will probably help them!
Haha I have one that tries for 10:30 still, except he is in a nother room.
You can set an apartment goal! That would be fun:)
Its hard changing time zones. Like heading back east ruins all my sleeping patterns
Oh, that would be hard. What State are you from?
Coming out here isnt so bad, because I can get up earlier I am from SC
Really? My sister served a mission there! She absolutley loves it. I have always wanted to go to South Carolina. I've heard it is absolutley beautiful, and there is so much hi Story over there! Is that where your parrot is?
I love it, it feel so nice and like home Yep! He is back at home with my parents
That will be nice to see him again:) do you ever got to Myrtle beach?
I have been there but I much prefer Charleston It is quiter, cleaner and more historic
I think my sister lived there for a while. She loved every part she was in. So why did you get a parrot?
My parents never really let me have pets growing up, and then in highschool they sorta opened up and I wanted a chameleon or a bird. They didnt want a reptile so I got a bird And I have always loved birds Growing up I wanted to be an ornithologist
That is a fair trade. I am allergic to animals with fur, and so is my mom. My older sister is obsessed with animals, so when she was ten my mom finally let her get one. My dad Grew up in a farm, so he was all for it. We had Teo bearded dragons. What is an ornithologist?
Oh way cool. Bearded dragons are fun It is a person who studies birds
That is awesome. Have you been to the aviary in salt lake.
I havent> ?* I didnt know there was one
It is pretty decent size! If you love birds, it would be a good place to visit some day. They have birds from every where!
I will definitely have to try it out I love birds, I keep saying that but I do For a research project I built a robotic flying bird
Someone in this world needs to. Someday, I will overcome my illogical fear of them. That is awesome! Did it actually fly?
One of the first ones did, then after that I couldnt get it back up Which doesnt make sense Usually research gets better, but I ran out of money for materials
That is so cool! Was it for high school or college?
It was in highschool
That is neat! What class was it even for?
A program I was in had us do 3 research projects through the course of highschool, We had to do all sorts of research and then testing then we would compete We did that along with all the regular classes
That is neat. Too bad you did not have any more money for materials. Maybe that is something you can do in the future, build robotic birds:)
It would be a dream job, there is a company called Festo that leads in that sort of technology They base all of their inventions off things found in nature Then they make somethings for fun, like flying jellyfish. Its way cool, you should look it up on youtube
That is so awesome! Why one would want a flying jellyfish, I do not know, but that would be interesting to watch. I did not realize there were companies that would specialize In that sort of technology. Our world is pretty great!
It really is, some of the more practical things they make are robotic factory arms that work similar to an elephants trunk Its all way neat. I am amazed at how much we can learn and what all is out there
That is so fascinating. Technology enables us to do so many wonderful things.
It really does. Its also crazy to think how much its changed in our lives
it is even crazier to think where it might be in a few years!
Exactly! Like things are so great right now, but where can it even go!?
And it all starts when one person has an idea. From th re, there, possibilities are limitless!
Oh for sure Innovation is so captivating
it is! I have to run and take a midterm for an online class I'm ni right now, but I hope you will be able to see the baby ducks soon! And that you will be able to get on a
Good luck!
Good sleep pattern. Thank you for chatting! Thanks, !
