Hello?
Hi!
How's it going?
Pretty good! How about you?
Trying to write a rhetorical analysis paper...but pretty good!
Bummer! What is it about?
MLK's letter from Birmingham jail
Very cool! Can you imagine if the internet just...stopped working? That would be terrible for homework!
Hear hear. No Learning Suite, Google Classroom...Google...
Yeah, that would be rough! Having just LearningSuite down the other day was bad enough!
Was it down for you too? I was trying to get onto it to look up what I was supposed to be in a reflection and it just gave me the loading page of horror
Yeah, I think it was acting up for a lot of people
Gotta love technology. Going to college didn't make it work any better
Nope! Although I definitely would take sometimes dysfunctional technology over no technology -- especially the internet1
True that. I quite enjoy the easy entertainments of the Internet....Pinterest, Netflix...
Yeah, when I was a missionary and had no access to the internet, I really missed being able to google stuff.
Wait where did you serve your mission? How long have you been back? I mean, now they have phones (at least the ones in my home branch), so they're not completely out of the loop
I served in Florida, but we didn't have smartphones. But even if we had, the restrictions are pretty steep so we wouldn't have been able to just google random stuff
Oh cool! Haha I guess not. You can whip out the BoM for answers...just not to questions like how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop
Exactly. There was one point where I really wanted to know what the oldest hymn in the hymn book was and there wasn't really a good way to find out haha
Oh dear....did you ever find that out? Google's just great b/c your brain is constantly asking super random little questions like that.
I think it's Jesus the Very Thought of Thee (at least the words), but I'm not sure
Huh. Interesting
Yeah, it's actually one of my favorite hymns! Do you have a favorite hymn?
Yes! If You Could Hie To Kolob is one of my favorites! Though I've heard that's one of the songs that people either love or hate.
Yeah, I'm kinda in the middle I like the music, but I don't appreciate the existential crisis that thinking about the lyrics gives me
Haha there is that too. I love the music, and I'm really into space and such and the lyrics just...ah I don't know they're just awesome! I really like the Abide With Me songs too
Those definitely have a nice sentiment What other kinds of music do you like?
Hmm, I'm kind of all over the place. EDM, film score/instrumental, rock, pop, some rap, a very small amount of country, my parents' oldies music.,
What is EDM?
Electronic Dance Music
Oh cool. I definitely understand the whole being all over the board thing. I'm the same way!
So like Alan Walker, Darude, Scryllic, Daft Punk i find it hard to be just in one genre of music, when there's so many different kinds!
True!
Do you have any favorite songs/artists?
Haha I was kind of avoiding the question because I really don't have a good answer! But my favorite artist is probably Jack Johnson
Haha sorry just had to ask! Hmm, don't think I've heard of him...
What?? That's crazy! You better look him up because he is awesome! Perks of having google -- you can search him and listen to all his music!
