Helllo!!!
Hello!  I think this program is buggy
So we meet again. haha Just a bit
Yeah, it suddenly stopped showing anything I wrote and you were a constant ". . ."
Weird Well my question was what is the craziest dream you have ever had
Huh.  I don't have a lot of dreams, or at least a lot of dreams I remember.   Most of the dreams I remember recently have to do with being late to something school-related or getting yelled at for doing an assignment badly or something.  Super interesting stuff. I definitely have finals on the brain
Yeah me too.
I remember having a dream as a kid that had to do with an astronaut and a witch in the kitchen.  Apparently as I get older the remembered dreams are less interesting
I had one about doing bad on my final presentation in my writing 150 class I had a dream about a house of cards
My mom had a cool dream recently.  I just got my mission call but it took a long time to show up and my Mom had a dream that I got called to the "Hong Kong Taiwan" mission Writing 150, ouch.  I hated that class I did not have a good teacher
It is hard to explain but basically I was building a house of cards and I heard evil laughter and my cards all tumbled to the floor. I felt the worst feeling I have ever felt I felt like a complete failure What the heck, hong kong isnt in taiwan
My mom's dream was especially funny because she posted about it on Facebook with something about how it was funny because Taiwan Hong Kong makes no sense.  And then all these people commented going "the Lord's ways don't have to make sense!" He knows best!
My writing 150 teacher is chill, we are probably going to eat donuts and write reflections for our final Lol
If she is supposed to get called there she will, makes sense or not!  So they were like low-key questioning her faith which was super funny since, as you said, Taiwan Hong Kong = impossible Donuts are always fun.  Are you a freshman then?
Yeah
me too!
I got back from my mission recently and I live on campus for now. I am going to move to liberty for spring though.
Oh cool.  I also live on campus and have been trying to figure out where I want to live for spring/summer
It is crazy how many people are returned or are going on missions
Yeah That's BYU for you
Yeah. Its good though. It is generally really easy to make friends But I feel like friendships dont last long for me because byu is such a big school.
For sure.  It's cool that there are so many good ways to connect to people
We tend to separate before too long
makes sense I wonder if people have longer or shorter friendships now that we have social media
If you could be any one kitchen appliance for the rest of your mortal life what would you be and why?
That would kill me.  I love cooking and could not deal.  Do ovens and stoves count as kitchen appliances? What about fridges?
Yeah
Nooooooooo
I cant really cook
I am gonna have to go with the fridge Hopefully I am allowed to make fires to cook
But I am gonna take a class to learn how to do it someday I just cant stand raw meat
I don't eat meat anymore so I don't have to deal with that
I dont get how you are supposed to keep your work place bacteria free Oh? Are you vegetarian?
I'm actually a vegan
Oh wow that is even more on the extreme side I hear it is difficult How are you going to be in brazil?
Yeah, I thought that until I kept researching it.  When I decided to be vegetarian once I moved out for college I said at one point "I would never go vegan because it makes no sense!" just goes to show how your viewpoint can change
Yeah for sure
How do you know that's where I'm going?
Is it where you are going?
I'm going to guess you looked it up on Facebook (unless you know me in real life)
Yep But I didnt know if it was you lol
yep
What are your plans though? I think i recall doing a project on brazil and they eat lots of beans I think, but I think they do anlot of meat too. I mean tucanos the brazilian grill seems to come to my mind when I think of brazillian foo Food so I guess it isnt fair. They pretty much only serve meat
Those are both true facts.  I decided to be vegan because of scriptures in the Word of Wisdom and elsewhere. After I studied it a lot I came to the conclusion that God prefers we don't eat meat unless it's necessary So I am going to be vegetarian if possible by talking to the Relief Society President about it since there are a lot of member meals in Brazil
Hmmm interesting. There was a big controversy over that in one of my mission areas
But if my Mission President asks me not to I won't I think God wants me to go on a mission too, so  I think that is the most important
Well thats a good attitude about it Yeah. Definitely. Have you heard about the Facebook data privacy scandal?
Yep
Its been all over the news. I keep up with a lot of news topics. Elon musk is one of them lol
I like following the news, but I follow politics and current event stuff a bit more than tech
Hmmm. Makes sense. I folow tech more but I also follow major political movements or other big changes Trump is all over the headlines every day
Which way do you lean, politically?
Its hard to say There are a lot of political topics, but if I could lean more toward one probably right
How do you feel about Trump?
I think he is shaking people up and we could use a little mixing up but I also think he can be radical His approaches can be extreme at times, but it would seem as though a lot of it has worked out the way he planned. He sticks to his campaign promises thats for sure and ironically enough he might have trouble getting re-elected because of it
I am not a big Trump fan
I dont think we are supposed to talk about politics or too much religion. Kind of touchy subjects and bad for a bot. Did you hear about this in a CS class or did someone tell you about it?
Well as far as I can tell, the rules just ban things that go farther than friendly disagreements, whatever the subject. but I'm happy to change topics if you want to. I read the article on BYU's website about it
Oh ok They advertised it in our programming class
It sounds like a cool idea.  Having chatted with a couple of people now, though, I wonder how well it will work.  I think the fact that people send messages out of order when texting might mess them up Because you end up referring back to what someone said earlier and then you can't really figure out what a normal live conversation would sound like.  But I don't know much about the program, so maybe not
Yeah. My impression is that they can pick and choose
Yeah I guess they're having real people do some of that?  It sounds like it will be a lot of work!
I also know a bit about the machine learning algorithms they use to teach the ai Yeah. There is a 1000000 prize to be awarded to the winning team So they want to win. It goes to the school not them
I saw that!  It is so cool that BYU got picked
Yeah it is Have you ever saved someones life before?
No Why, have you?
Yeah. My sister was left in the car when she was a kid and I am from Vegas so it was really hot. She couldnt get out but I was too young to let her go, so I managed to get my mom to come free her She could have died from heat exhaustion. I Imagine it was traumatizing It explains a lot.... Jk lol she is awesome I am glad she is in my life
haha.  That is a great story, all the stories about children dying from heat exhaustion are so sad
Yeah
mistakes happen to everyone but it would be hard to deal with that if you left your kid in the car and then they died
Yeah Do you eat cereal?
Lol, yes. oops that was text speak Sorry to the student employees having to read this.  But in my defense, I know people who say it out loud What's your favorite cereal?
I say it iut loud lol Say it Hmmm I really like honey bunches of oats But If I could choose a really unhealthy one probably maltoameals cookies and cream What about you?
Cracklin' oat bran is good.  Also frosted mini wheats, and I don't say no to a good bowl of cheerios with bananas.
Yeah bananas are really good in cereal I kind of miss having them in mine. Next semester I will do my own shopping and have more control over what I eat. Frosted min wheats are actually another personal favorite
I remember being five and wishing my mom would buy cinnamon toast crunch so I could have it every single breakfast
Hahaha that is good stuff, you can't be blamed
Yeah, I really like cooking for myself.  I could get a meal plan but I just wouldn't enjoy it as much
Yeah, I am looking forward to ditching the meal plan Being on campus and having a meal plan is nice but it was only so I coukd transition. Could
It is also funny realizing you no longer have to care about other family member's likes/dislikes.   My mom doesn't like avocados and my dad doesn't like grapefruit so we just ended up not eating them much.  But I am a huge avocado fan so now I eat them much more
Oh no! Avocadoes are amazing!
That makes sense, moving away from home is a big adjustment for sure
Well... thats not what I meant I actually came home and my parents had moved So it is more of just not knowing my way around provo Provo is as much my home as my parents house now, but I do wnjoy hanging out with my oarents and my siblings. We get along really well.
That's nice
I wrote them all a letter every 6 weeks of my mission. It helped me develop really strong relationships with every one of my siblings and now we get along really well.
You didn't write them the other five weeks?  Oh,  or do you mean you wrote your siblings individually? I was like, "wow, my mom would kill me if I only wrote her once every month and a half"
Hahaha No I wrote them all individually 12 letters So 2 written a week, and one blast, plus I responded to individual typed mail. What is your favorite restaurant?
Provo: Bombay House
Whats that
It is an Indian restaurant
Hmmm. I like olive garden They have good breadsticks and alfredo. I dont think i have ever been to an Indian restaurant
Italian food is also good.  Olive garden has good breadsticks but it's not my favorite jinx You are missing out!  Curry is soooo good Also I have always loved bread in many forms and the garlic naan (it's a kind of flattish bread you eat curry with) there is really good
Hmmm. I have tried indian dishes at the canon Interesting. I enjoy it but I have never been to a real indian place
The Cannon is a lot better than it could be but not that good
Yeah.
especially for things like curry it's super easy to make yourself though once you get the spices
Bread is really good. What is your favorite type of bread?
Hard question.  Probably a fresh-baked sourdough loaf
Ohhhh sourdough is great I used to toast it with butter and eat it as a snack after school every day.
I have been crazy about sourdough bread all my life.  It is amazing
Then I would take a 3 hour nap. I miss it Not the nap. I just napped because I was stressed
Wow, your parents must have loved you!  I have never been into naps
I didn't do well in my writing classes in highschool. And it was overwhelming. I tried to do ap english and that was a BAD idea I will barely get an A in writing this semester It has stressed me out the whole semester long
Writing is my best subject and I did not get an A in my writing class last semester because of the teacher and the class structure.  I can totally relate to the stressfulness
Yeah. That sucks.
I am pretty good at writing, at least compared to other things, but really bad at coming up with ideas for papers
I dont like writing for that exact reason. It is so subjective
So my main problem is getting an idea and then just sitting down and writing it.
I am a lot better at writing since my mission
haha, that is exactly the sort of thing an ACME major would say I think writing is great for exactly that reason.  With math homework you have to struggle through learning it and remembering it and then doing it right with zero mistakes. Writing is more forgiving
It is though. I will likely manage an A but why didnt you?i can guarantee you are a better writer.
I really did not get along with that teacher.  So I got an A- but that is worse than any other English class I've taken so it could have been worse but I still wasn't happy about it
This will be the first time I have gotten an A in a writing class for years
I don't believe you're that bad though because my small sample size of other people I've chatted on this with/ texted or emailed in real life, etc. says you have better grammar than a surprising number of people out there Or maybe they all just have terrible grammar until they actually start writing a paper for homework and then all of a sudden they drastically improve
Hahaha maybe thats it
I like grammar so I couldn't bring myself to do that
I am usually good at grammar and punctuation and spelling but I can get lazy.
I think some people are honestly just better at learning certain subjects.  Grammar isn't hard for me but I'm very worried about the physical science test I have to take next week
It is hard for me to focus on big ideas and put them on paper so they are fluid and exciting Hmmm good luck. When do you have to take it?
Oh I don't like creative writing all that much because I'm bad at coming up with good ideas.  Philosophy papers are way better.  My final isn't scheduled and it's online. I have a lot of other tests that are scheduled I have to do first so I'll probably do it Tuesday evening or Wednesday
Actually I wouldnt mind writing about philosophy, it is all I can think about every day. Everything is a philosophy to me.
Haha, what does that mean?
Its hard not to make things ohilosophical and theoretical I am just a thinker. I do a lot of pacing too.
Maybe you should take more philosophy classes. My favorite are the ethics classes.  Those are great for lots of thinking
They dont make money and that is something I will need in thee future Beside philosophy will be there wheter I take a class for it or not. My whole thought process is based on metacognition.
That is  a false equivalency :)  You don't have to major in philosophy to take philosophy classes and you don't have to be a philosopher if you major in philosophy I am planning on law school
I am also really good at economic Economics. So i think I will minor in that and business. I also like music so I am planning a minor in that. Too much for me to take philosophy classes
Makes sense.  I definitely can't take all the classes I'd like.  I don't agree with what you said about philosophy always being there though.  People say that to me a lot, but
I will take phil 110 because it counts as a general though
I think it's kind of like saying you could do English by yourself and then only studying things you write (as opposed to reading other authors' works)
when I say it will always be there I mean I talk about it all the time so it is already a Partof my life Ok i can see that
I just mean that you could think about any subject by yourself.  You could do theoretical math all by yourself .  But it isn't the same because then you don't know what other people think Part of philosophy is the history of philosophical thought and another big part is discussion Anyway, I think most people could benefit from reading philosophy since they probably aren't cool enough to come up with everything Socrates and Plato etc. said on their own So that's the end of my philosophy-is-important too spiel haha
Hahaha I am fairly goal oriented. How about you?
I try Being goal oriented is an ongoing goal of mine
Nice lol I am naturally very goal oriented. Before my mission I tended not to write my goals down though. I am so tired, but I have a goal of contributing to this challenge so I am here at 2 in the morning lol.
And look at you now . . . #2?
I think I am about ready to call it quits and get some rest Yep
That is a cool username Good talking to you!
Hey you arent so bad yourself #9 Yeah. Have a good night
you too!
