Hey!
hey claire!! how are you doing this mornign?
I'm doing just fine! I mean, I didn't do too hot on a calculus test, but I'm ALMOST done with school, so we're good! How are you?
aww sorry about that but yeah you are graduating soon and you are already in BYU so take it easy haha I am doing fantastic
You're right, keep my eye on the prize. Anything special going on for you today/this week?
I have a final internship tomorrow morning with a company called Pluralsight.
Wow that definitely falls under "exciting!" What does that company do?
the company makes instructional videos for all kinds of stuff and they are getting really popular and successful so they are expanding like crazy
So when you become a billionaire, will you remember us little people from the chat? :)
hahaha yes and I will buy them all a macbook pro
Honestly I'd be satisfied with a strawberry scoop from the Creamery!
hahaha you are easy to keep happy. simple.
You're not wrong.
you wouldn't be classfied as a "high maintenance" girl hahaha
Actually, I take it back - when you are a billionaire please fund my marvel obsession - tickets, clothes, and therapy for Infinity War.
hahahaha I take it back
Lots of things were retracted in this conversation!
hahaha so Claire you excited for BYU?
Heck yes!
what are you most excited about?
As long as my AP exams don't kill me first! Well obviously I love my family but I really want to just be on my own (I'm from Dallas) for a while. I'm the oldest of 6 (3 girls and 3 boys) so I don't get a lot of time to do stuff for myself, so I *I'm looking forward to meeting new people.
that is so cool! I am super excited for you. I never got to experience those kinds of things or having to make new friends because I am from Provo and I had friends from high school at BYU
Thanks! Obviously it's a bit of a bummer to be far away from my high school friends but I'm kinda glad that I'll get to meet a lot of people with the same standards as me.
do you have any home town friends who are going to BYU with you?
Yeah there's a group of us that all got accepted - we actually had youth conference the day decisions were released!
oh cool are you going to room with them or anything?
Yeah I showed up about 20 minutes late and I quickly asked my friend to see if anyone got rejected so I wouldn't ask them about bad news! Luckily everyone got accepted. Nope, rooming with total strangers! But we're all in a group chat, so we definitely plan on hanging out.
awesome! I hope you get lucky with good roomates bad roommates suck so bad when I got back from my mission I got to a random apartment with random roommates and I was very lucky to have had them because they were all chill
Do you have bad roommate horror stories?
I don't have one personally because after that year I started living with my best friend from highschool because we all got back from the mission but I've heard stories from other friends where roommates were super gross and never cleaned anything like they left chicken breast in the sink and let it sit there for like 3 days and like never clean the toilet and you know boysss..... boys mess up the toilets some roommates are just super weird or hog the living space and its awkward etc.
See that's not gonna fly with me. I've got the oldest sibling thing where if you don't clean up I will make you clean up.
yeah
Yeah I've seen what kinds of things my brothers can destroy and I don't want to deal with that. Where did you go on a mission to?
I served in Oakland and San Francisco Mission speaking Cambodian
Wow! That's amazing!
thasnk you!
Was learning a new language challenging for you?
mmm it was a lot of work but it was my third language so I'd say I had an easier time than some of the other missionaries
Hold up - 3 languages?! What else do you speak?
korean and english
Wow you didn't really get languages from the same family/alphabet, that is so impressive! Bet that looks really nice on a resume too.
Yes I hope so haha. In my field they care more about personal tech projects and what coding languages you know
Isn't that called a polyglot or something? Someone who speaks a ton of languages.
polyglot? that is a funny word. I am not sure actually
I'm an English nerd, so weird vocabulary sticks in my head.
hahahaha Polyglot sounds like a word from harry potter or something
I'm also the Harry Potter nerd, you've been exposing me all this time.
got ya! you can't hide from me
I love Hermione - frizzy hair and book nerd? She's my icon.
she is so cool haha. What do you think about JK Rolling coming out later and saying that Hermione is all of sudden African when in the book clearly says that she is not that?
I appreciate her effort to include diversity, and I know that the "Cursed Child" actress is really cool, but some of her other stuff just looks like she's forcing it
yeah I also appreciate her effort too, but sometimes I feel like she is just trying too hard to be noticed in the news? maybe im being too critical
Although her tweets about apologizing for who she killed in the Battle of Hogwarts are terrible and funny. Hey I got to go to lunch now (I skipped breakfast), but thanks for taking the time to talk with me! Hopefully we can continue discussing Harry Potter sometime soon!
ok it was really nice talking to you and hope we match again!!!!
