Hello?
Hi How are you? Have you seen infinity war?
not yet i hope so?
Oh, never mind then
sorry but i kind of heard all about it
Its all chill You did?
like the negative aspect of it like how it literally had no plot and had a REALLy confusing ending stuff like that im guessing you watched it though?
I thought it did have a plot but not a good one
i heard it had really good action scenes but that was about it
it was kinda like it fit in well if it was a part of the overall story but not as a stand alone and yeah, there were some scenes that were awesome
cool
like when they fought thanos in the end that was really cool
i'll watch it whenever it comes out on the plane ^^
haha that's the way to be Do you fly a lot?
not really but the movies they have on the plane are usually like the "good" movies more like popular movies but yeah
Yeah, I'm always impressed with the movies they have on plaens *planes
hopefully there will be something good to watch
Are you going to fly somewhere soon?
THe beginning of summer I'll be flying to Taiwan from Thailand
That's really cool. Do you live in Taiwan?
I live in Thailand but I am from Taiwan
Oh, that makes sense
I'll be a Freshmen this coming year
I want to go climbing in Thailand next year Hey me too!
Sooo I'll have a 20+ hr flight there from Thailand Sounds fun right?
That sounds terrible hahaha
Are you from the States?'
Yeah, I'm from Utah
ugh... you only have a car ride I get 20+ hrs of plane.....
Even less than that hahaha I'm going to be on a bike
you are from provo?
Mapleton, but that's right outside of provo
geez....
Like 10 minutes maybe
That is so lucky
Dude long flights are the worst tho It took me 35 hours to get to Uganda, and I about died
For your information I have never been on a plane for longer than 3 hours Sooooooooo.....
Really?! Bring snacks
I've never experience jet lag
It is literally the worst It's like that feeling of dread during finals week
or extended period on an enclosed sl=pace i feel like finals are more chill than that speaking of finals are you taking aps?
Yes! Are you?
becuase ap exams are coming up Yes...
Which ones? I'm taking Psych, Stats, Chem, and English lit
English Lit, Environmental, Music Theory, Calculus, COmparitive Gov Psych is soooo fun Chem Good luck
Yeah... and my teacher didn't teach the whole year so...
But psych will be soo easy when youa re done with chem ^^
Yeah, theres one upside My psych teacher is the best though
with chem its kind of a what is this? I didn't learn it kinda feel then psych will be like YESSSS I know stuff i went through it last year I laughed while doing the psych exam
Really?
Yeah
Was it just that easy?
Chem was REALLY bad for me i think it was just chem
Dude, my teacher taught us more about spartan races than she did Chemistry
and psych was really easy You are in for it then
My chem teacher leaves whenever we ask her math related questions.... But my psych teacher is good He can do a cat impression like you wouldn't believe It is kinda crazy
like the sound or with facial expressions?
Both.
i feel like that will be cooler Danggggg
And full body charades (He's a full grown man) It's rather hilarious
my psych teacher wasn't that cool but he is a really good teacher
Yeah, that's how my stats teacher is hahaha
the stats teacher at my school has a really bad reputation
How come? Did he do something?
apparently he is one of those super smart genius sort of person but can teach to save his life *can't
"Apparently" hahaha He's one of those people hahaha
his wife is a certified genius tho
Really?
yup
Does she teach too?
university shes a college professor for maths
Yeah, that would take some brain power for sure Just because of all of the nuiances I think
i heard that their children are super good at math too
Makes sense, she probably started them on differntial calculus at like age 3 hahaha
yuck
Are you not a fan of Calc?
i'm kind of struggling with that now i love calc i just hate taking tests
I took that last year hahaha the tests are the worst! Because in real life, you don't have to know the derivative of arcsin
I love solving problems yeah true
Hey, just one sec, gtg
okay
Ok, I'm back Sorry, I'm at work rn, and had to help someone You would think that at 6 am it would be chill But it's actually kinda crazy People ask for the weirdest things hahaha
i was wondering why you were up because I know its early morning in utah now
yeah Working at 4:45 gives me the day to do things and still make some money hahaha
what do you do?
I work at the front desk of the Provo rec center Its a pretty chill job
thats sounds kinda boring though what do you like doing then?
Yeah, but I use it to study, so it works I like rock climbing, canyoneering, backpacking, and research what do you like doing?
I like volleyball and sleeping does sleeping count though?
i would count it hahaha
oh and watching anime though i havent recently because of studying
I'm not a huge fan of Anime I do have to admit Except for Pokemon I do love Pokemon
pokemon is intersting but it gets a little old
Yeah, that's true. The older seasons are the best. Newer ones... not so much
i have to agree i noticed that of the four things you said i literally cannot do two of those things here
Which two?
backpacking and canyoneering i can rock climb but it would be wall climbing so still a bit different i'll guess
There is some killer outdoor climbing in Thailand
i live in bangkok in the city and i am in school most of the year
Ok, that makes sense.
Sooooooo
It's on the beaches where all the good climbing is
i've seen those before but i have never tried it
I want to go there one day to climb this one climb, where you have to jump across a chasm onto a giant stalagtite and climb up it It's one of the coolest climbs in the world. Like top ten Do you play volleyball for a team? Or just for fun?
for my school's varsity girls team but other then that for fun
That's cool. Are you realy tall then? hahaha
Nope im the libero i am according to some people "fun sized"
That's funnt. Hey, one sec sorry, had to actually work
another stupid question?
hit me with it
do you play any sports?
Yeah I wrestle and play lacrosse
lacrosse seems cool
It is a killer sport. I love it. Although I'm pretty sure I've killed my nerve endings from getting hit so much hahaha At least in my arms and hands
ouch but I feel like that is what happens no matter what sport you play
Yeah, it's true. I'm sure that playing volleyball you've skinned your knees and elbows a ton
and jammed my fingers
Ouch.
its like 1 per week pretty much during the season
Yeah, that's how it is in lacrosse. One really painful week, and then you remember how to ignore it hahaha
exactly
Yeah, sports will break ya dude hahaha
Its fine I mean whats life with out a bit of pain?
Lame is what it is hahaha At least, that's what we say in climbing
its not wrong
The type of climbing I like to do is where you jam your hand into a really painful crack and lean back on it, so it kills But you get used to it, and it becomes fun
i mean life would be boring without a little risk
Exactly! Sometimes, you just need a little adrenaline
i have to agree
Too bad more people don't think like that Sometimes people can be lame hahaha
it does take a bit of couage though
yeah, thats true But the world needs more of that in my opinion hey, one sec Sorry, people are starting to ask more and more complex questions lol
how do they do that this early in the morning?
I don't know dude. I can barely remember the password to the system this early
right? i have a love hate relationship with morning people i admire them but I hate that they are so cheerful in the morning
Same. I'm definetly a night owl Everything is just better late at night And I found the coolest place to go
oh?
It's like a mormon bar, where you can get cool drinks that aren't alchoholic and chill with the squad And they have killer music And a sick vibe the whole place is sick
that sounds so cool dang
Yeah, when you get to provo, make sure to stop by the wash (that's what it's called) Oh, and go to penguin brothers too They have custom ice cream sandwhiches behind a dry cleaners
ice creammmmm what are somethings i should expect going to the states?
Oh, and it's good ice cream too
i haven't been so
Hmm...
i know i'll be in for culture shock
Expect that people are going to ask you where you're from a lot Also, you can pay for everything with a card Huge portions Hmm... What else Ooooh, we love concerts And everyone wears Jeans Here in provo its unique tho Since so many people have been on missions, everyone speaks different languages, and it's really awesome
im not worried about language barriers but i am really worried about the way of living ans stuff like that
Hmm... Like what do you want to know?
do you really all wear shoes in the house? and when you say huge portions... like how big....
Depends on the house. Like guests usually take shoes off, but if you don't, nobody will really say anything And big enough portions that they fill up teenage boys hahaha But that's just at restaraunts, in homes it's different
i am very much used to being barefooted or wearing slippers in the house...
Yeah, nobody really pays attention to that here. People can wear shoes or not wear shoes and nobody really notices or cares hahaha
okay i'll have to get used to that for sure but i'm really worried about meals because I have heard about the large portions
Yeah, its actually pretty relaxed here (I think)
thats kind of a relief to hear
Ehh, it's not too bad. Lots of restaraunts will prepare more than they know you can eat, with the expectation that people will take the extras home.
i guess that makes sense
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it too much. The only thing is that people do put in crazy hours to work
really?
yeah, like I have probably less than 10 hours of free time a week
that sucks
Because I work 20 hours a week, school 40 hours a week, and in a biology lab 10 hours a week, and that's pretty norma
how do you get your work done?
I multi task
like you are now?
Exactly hahaha It usually ends up working out pretty well
at least it works for you
Yeah, but that might just be a high school thing. Things slow down in college Do you know what you want to major in? :)
special education mild disabilites
That's cool! Any particular reason?
we actually have a class at my school i got to be a teacher's aide and it kind of went from there what bout you ? what do you wanna study?
I want to study bioinformatics and go to med school I want to develop a model for viral infection evolution within a host and then use that to create new anti-viral drugs
that is so cool
It probably won't work out that way, but I mean, if it did, it would be kinda sweet
i would personally hate doing that though
How come?
i don't like the sciences as much im decent at chem but i detest bio
Yeah, I like chem and bio, but hate physics because yah know, chem is like a puzzle, but physics is like calculus but with approximation math instead of actual math (at least in my high school)
i never took physics past icp
whats icp?
intro to chem and phsyics
oh, ok, here we take intro to those courses seperately but I do not reccomend it
i really hated physics since then so i never bothered with taking it
It just makes no sense hahaha
it really doesnt i hate the calc problems that relates to velocity acceleration etc
Or the ones with related rates Those are the worst.
yessss
Why can't everything be basic derivation hahaha
right? did you take ab or bc?
I took ab, they don't offer bc at my school
oh our school offers both but in the same class
My school only offers like 8 AP courses, and I'll have taken 6 of them But that is really cool, I wish I could have taken BC
thats such a pity i feel kinda of bad now
Why?
my school offers so many aps through my highschool career i have taken 9
I wish I could have done that. Because I dont know about you, but I'm a lot more engaged when it's a hard class than when it's busy work
i have to agree
I can't stand busy work. It's like fam, why did I even come if I'm just going to do arts and crafts all day?
i have to agree i really dislike having excess assignments that are unrealted to the subject
Or even just like barely related.
yeah
My favorite are research projects
my apes teacher had us do an assignment that is going to be uesless but it took an hour to complete
What was it?
we had to create 4 seperate countries' population timeline
That seems really long, really tedious, and really boring
it was
Ok, I need your opinion on something unrelated to this
go ahead
My school is having a senior dance tonight... And my gf wants to come... But she doesn't go to our school... And I kinda wanted to just go with my friends... Is that bad of me to not want to go with her? Its more of a party than a dance
i honestly don't think so i feel like with dating you need to find a balance between friends and gf
Ok, that makes me feel better.
cuz when i dated the guy did not let me out of sight basically
That is crazy.
and i did not see him interact with his friends AT ALL like ZERO interaction
Really?
yup at least when we were both free he was with me it was rather restrictive
Yeah, thats a plus side. Did you break up with him?
yeah of course he was the one who broke it off though because he was getting stre which i was really grateful for
Yeah, people like that are just not fun to date The best people to date are the ones that have their own lives because their interesting to talk to and to get to know they keep having surprises haha
I haven't dated anyone like that yet but i'll keep my hopes up
Well you know what they say about Provo hahaha
what?
The most popular major is marriage
HAHAHA I can see that
Its so funny hahaha. I literally know someone who has got engaged on the SECOND DATE!!!
WHAT? how......
I KNOW RIGHT?! I was like dude, how did you even get a ring that fast?
more like how did you even get the feeling... like how do you know thats the right person....
I know right? Like you wouldn't even know their middle name
I don't get how you can do it without knowing if you can be best friends for the rest of your life especially if its a temple marriage
Seriously tho. I mean, I feel like it takes more than two dates, regardless of how sure you are Like I would say a 6 month minium for engagement, a 1 year minimum for marriage
even that is really short...
Yeah, even then, its only like if you are 10000% sure But that's a pretty typical time frame for BYU unfortunately
i guess i've seen it happen
My girlfriends brother is getting engaged to a girl he met on the mission And he's been back for less than 3 weeks I was like Yikes
danggggg are you planning on going on a mission?
Yeah, but I'm going to either a semester or a year of school first I'm just barely 18 and wanna live on my own for a little bit first Are you planning on going on a mission?
Im still considering
If you were to make the decision right now, what would you choose?
i think no i dont like the thought of taking a break from education
Yeah, that makes sense. I'm just going to go with the faith that I won't lose too much
thats what i am most worried about
But I fully expect to have to retake at least 1 math course after the mish hahaha
hahaha it would be hard to remeber all the silly formulas and stuff
Seriously tho! I mean like the proof formula for derivatives is the worst!
thats one of the worst for sure
Hey, I'm off of my shift in 15 minutes, so I gotta go. Nice talkin to you! If you're ever on campus and meet a Jacob, make sure to say hi!
