Ooo, this is a tough question... Would you like to answer first? Hello, are we going to chat or what?
Hey! Sorry I was waiting for a long time so I started a timed quiz I apologize!
Ah no, it's totally fine.  I was just wondering.  Every time I have got on here, it either takes forever to load or there is nobody to chat with. At least that has been my experience so far.  Haha!  So, how was your day?  Did you do anything exciting?
Ah. I've either had super good or super bad conversations. Pretty much no in between Also i love you name My day was alright, I actually had the day off, so I've done homework and watched a netflix show to take a break. How was your day?
Thanks, I like the name too.  I wasn't sure what to put when it asked for a screen name.  So, I thought I would go with something unique. Wow, you had the day off and you still decided to do homework?  Very brave!
Right? Other people have put Matthew, and so I felt all awkward with my username Haha, I didn't do a lot of homework, mostly only things due tonight
Well, meeting the deadlines are the most important homework items. I talked with someone the other day that had (what appeared to be) their real name.  Haha.  I guess whatever works right? My day has been pretty good.  I don't have any classes on Fridays, so I guess you could say I also had the day off.
Haha yeah, I tend to live by deadlines. It's a thrill always.
Sorry for so many messages in a row.  I think it is funny that we are limited to so many characters in our responses.
Claim it as a day off if you can, right?
That's right!
Oh, are we limited to characters? I just tend to type one message as a thought I guess. haha
Anyways, I set my alarm to get up for normal school time and do some homework.  Let me just say, that didnt happen.  Haha!  I ended up sleeping in a few more hours.   Oh well.
Yeah I slept in today too! Well like 8:45, but it counts! Like I said, let me claim what I claim! So have you been doing this chatty chit chat thing for a while?
Nah, I just started the other day.  I think it is a great idea.  We are able to chat mindlessly with random people and advance science at the same time.
Right? I think it's cool, except as I talk with some people, I'm like wait I want to know you, you're cool! It really is mindless chatter though, isn't it.
I mean, the reason I say it is mindless chatter is because there really isnt any way that we will ever meet up in person. The fact that we agreed not to share personal information here kinda makes the conversation to where it can only go so far.  You know what I mean>
Definitely. You can still have fun though and crack jokes! Have you had any good prompting questions asked?
This is actually the first time I have seen a prompt at the top of the screen.  Would you like to be first in answering that question?
Ooh, sure. Hm. That's a really tough question. I've had a lot of fun memories.
I was thinking the same thing.  That's why I thought you should go first.
I also think this is hard, because as I look at memories that I now think are fun, I have definitely glossed over the hard parts For example, I was in Chicago with my Dad and sister and his wife's family. We were running late for a train and literally ran a mile to beat traffic and make it to the last train out of the city for the night. It was hilarious and the grandparents were running too, and we all made it. But then I really look back at that day and remember some small arguments that happened and realistically I wouldn't want to relive that day. What about you though? (Sorry I just rambled nonstop)
This is a tough question for me because all of the good memories are good for a reason.  Why would I want to relive it and change what is already good? As far as the bad, I also try to look past those and remember the good times. Okay, I once won a  $100 shopping spree.  That might be a fun day to relive because it would be spending money again on more cool things.
Ooh! Was it to a grocery store or something?
It was a clothing store. But, it was still cool.  As a college kid, I feel like a free $100 to spend on clothes is a big deal.
Anything free is pretty awesome as a college student
Agreed!  So, have you been at BYU a while?  What are you studying?
I have! Are we allowed to tell what we're studying? I'm never sure how easy it is to identify people.
Uh, I guess I don't know the exact rules. How about this, what is your favorite class you are in this semester?  That is a little more broad.
haha, we're not supposed to talk about religion, give away anything that identifies us Well this semester is a pretty crazy one, and most of my classes aren't that fun. Have you taken any cooking classes at BYU? Food Prep in the Home is actually a super cool one I've taken
No, I haven't taken any of those classes.  It actually sounds like a lot of fun. What is a regular day in class like?  Are there any papers to write throughout the semester?  Haha.
For that one you meet in class twice a week and then are in the lab one day
Do you know the exact class title/number?  You've got me interested.
SFL... 260? I think. It's pretty fun. You make food one day and literally just cook and then eat There's like one big assignment where you have to prepare a meal at home alone
Oooo, scary.  That is what I will probably do 100000000 more times throughout the course of my life.   I'm not the greatest cook, so I bet I could learn a thing or two. Have you ever taken any STAC classes here at BYU?  Basketball, volleyball, tennis, yoga, soccer, etc.  I have taken all of those but I think my favorite was bowling.
I've taken Zumba, and that one was super fun. I was enrolled in bowling but I ended up dropping it. :P
Oh yeah.   I also took Zumba.  That was a class that I took to get me exercising and out of my comfort zone.  It was a wonderful experience. Ah man, you need to get back into a bowling class. Here's how I see it.  Bowling is a sport that is expensive to practice and actually get good at.  Short of having all your own equipment or being in a league...
That's true. Did you actually improve?
The only bowling I had ever done prior to taking the class was just jerking around with friends or while on a date.  I now consistently bowl an average of 160 or so. Yes, I improved tremendously! My proudest moment was the day I bowled a 218! I even got a free tshirt from the bowling alley there in the Wilk as I became part of the 200 club
Ooh! 218! Way to go That's really impressive. The idea I got from the one day I bowled was that you were just leisurely bowling and they didn't care to teach you things really
It might just depend on who you were taking it from .  My teacher was named Ben.  I guess he was the guy who got BYU to start offering bowling classes.
Ah. That makes sense, maybe I didn't have the best teacher, or it was also jsut the first day and a bit chaotic
First days of class are funny sometimes.  They are usually just filled with rules and paperwork. First days of class are like the stereotypical Monday.  They drag on and are never that meaningful.
Yep. Where the points don't matter and the rules are made up Haha, that's from Who's Line is it Anyways, my bad
Haha, I was wondering what the rules are made up part was. Although, I think teachers do that sometimes.  But, that is a conversation for a whole other day.
SERIOUSLY! *gets off soapbox* I better stop while I'm ahead Haha, I jest. What's your favorite class you're taking?
Well, I kinda like some of the things I am doing in my abnormal psychology class.  The class can be dense and full of information. But as an assignment, we volunteer each week at the Utah State Mental Hospital here in Provo.  That is a super fun activity.
How is that? Is it difficult for you to do?
No, not for me.  I help with the adult activity night so we basically just play games with the residents.
Oh okay, that's awesome then! Playing games all day!
Yep, think "bingo night".  The residents are always excited to play and we have prizes to give away.
I mean, if there's prizes, does it get much beter? *better
We have had several themed nights throughout the semester.  They usually correspond withe the holiday like Valentines Day, St Paddys Day, etc. And, bingo is not the only game that we play.  That was just an example for the atmosphere. Adult activity night is basically a mix of an old folks home bingo night and an elementary school class party.  So fun!
Oh, okay. I was thinking this was a competitive bingo team. ;D
Well, it does get competitive, let me tell you.  There are prizes involved remember.
Haha, true, you did say that. That sounds like an awesome volunteering opportunity.
Yes, it is.  You should definitely check it out if you are looking for some volunteer hours.
Which club is it with? Or do I just show up unannounced? (just kidding)
You just go to their website: ush.utah.gov/volunteers/ to sign up. They are always accepting new volunteers and you can help out year round if you wish. Just tell them that Warrior Cat sent you.
Hahaha I'm sure that will work That's super cool though, thanks@ *!
Haha, yeah right.  I have never used this nickname anywhere else.  It was made up just for this chit chat thing.
Same with mine
It is a great name though.  I forgot to mention earlier.
Thanks :D I almost used my regular username and was like, oops, I shouldn't do that. It's very much identifying.
Yep, the same user name and password used for every other thing you log into.  Lastname first two letters of your first name format.  Definitely an indentifier. Well, it has been a pleasure to chit-chat with you Tryingtonap.  Haha, that just sounds funny.  I should probably get going here pretty soon. How about we end by telling each other a joke.  I can go first if that is okay?
OOh *Ooh Why was the taco sad?
I don't know, why was the taco sad?
I don't know, he didn't wanna tac-o 'bout it. I know I know, it's cringey, but also great.
Bahaha!  That was a good one.  I was trying to think of some reply like "i dont know, did he get grounded?" as in beef, but your response is better. Alright, my turn. Do you have any idea how to plan a space party?
I don't, how do you?
You plan-et...
Hahaha I love it! Well, Warrior Cat, it's been a pleasure.
The same goes for you Tryingtonap. I would continue chatting but a quiz awaits me. Good luck in finishing out this semester.  Finals are right around the corner.
Oof, good luck on the quiz, you're gonna kill it! And thanks you too! Have a great night
