Hey How are you doing this morning
Pretty good! Just finished my IB psych test and got to go home. What about you?
Nice! I just got up and I am doing a few things before work
Are you an upperclassman at BYU? Or not a freshman? Most of the freshman I've talked to are still in school
Ill be starting my second year this coming fall, I only went these past semester though
Thats cool, this will be my first year Where do you work?
Nice! are you stoked to start? I work in marketing for my dads company, he is a contractor
Im so stoked man! Im sick of the rank and file high school thing, its just boring Thats sounds like a cool job. Are you going into marketing?
Like class rank and gpa? No, I will be going into Industrial design
Nah, my GPA and class rank is fine, its not hard to get those if you play by their rules. Im talking about the 7 hour school thing waking up early every day
Oh okay
Thats cool! Im going into engineering.
Yeah its nice to have your own schedule to plan Oh way cool! I considered doing engineering, I have a lot of friends who are doing that What kind?
Havent decided yet. Either electrical or mechanical. Like circuits and programming but i also like CAD and stuff like that
Ok, that would be way cool CAD is a lot of fun
Yeah Ive had a bunch of engineering classes where we used it. Although we used inventor Do you use CAD for industrial design?
Yeah I took an engineering class in high school and we used autodesk inventor Further along in the program I believe they do The first year or so its all building things
Like building models?
Yeah, its forms and what not. To help you understand more about the principles of design
Thats cool From what ive seen engineering just stsrts right off with maths and sciences
pretty much that is what ive seen too
Wooo! Calculus straight off the bat!
I dont think I have to take calculus again
I actually quite like calculus Its like algebra but smarter and it makes everything simpler to do
I do to, I like math and science a lot because it makes a lot of sense and comes pretty easy to me But highschool AP covered it and my program doesnt require it
Yeah same. Although i did IB I just kind of want to get into more advanced maths and sciences
That makes sense What other kinds of things do you like doing?
I like reading, making stuff. Ive got a 3D pen i like to make stuff with. Metal models are fun too. I also play guitar and sing for fun. For sports i ran cross country, swam and played tennis What about you?
Wow you have done a lot I like being outside, photography, hiking, water sports, dance
Ooo i like outdoors stuff too! Ive never reslly tried photography though And im a horrid dancer ;)
Hahaha thats funny
Well thanks! I can spin in circles with a girl and call that slow dancing but thats about it
Im probably terrible too, but its just so much fun Have you ever tried country swing?
I can also bounce up and down to the beat! Yeah one of the leaders grew up in the country and knows a bunch of square dance and swing songs That was cool, i cant remember any of them though
Country swing is my favorite to go with friends becuase you can just do whatever They have a few country swing clubs in town that I would go to occassionaly
I cant say ive ever thought about going to a club..... Also, would not have pegged Provo as a place for swing clubs
Its not like a nasty club, they have a floor and teach people how to do some moves the first hour, then the rest they just play country music and people swing dance Its jam packed every single weekend
I figured it wouldnt be gross, it is provo after all ;) I just didnt think a country swing club specifically would be a thing
Its fun, you should try it some time They also have country swing club in the wilkinson building on tuesday nights
Is it a date type thing or just friends?
Either
Maybe ill have to go when school starts I havent even picked classes yet so....
Its easier if you go with someone to learn moves, they have a similar set up, lesson first then open dance But the dance part you can go and ask anyone When does registration open for you? I was looking at my schedule this morning
I can officially register on the 13th of june
Nice
Do they count you as a sophmore or a freshman? Since you're sorta in the middle
By semester just a freshman, because I am only doing my second this fall. By credit sophomore
Okay, makes sense. Why did you only do one semester?
I didnt get back in time to start fall, so I just worked until winter started
Back from a mission?
Yep
Thats great! Where did you go?
I went to northern california
Are you a girl and went 18 months or did you just have a really weird leave date for the 2 years to end in the middle of a semester?
Weird leave date, I started at the end of september I had to wait a while because I graduated when I was 17
Hey so will I! But that means you are super young for your grade I could still leave by july if i wanted
Nice! I was always ahead but after coming back I had to wait to be old enough anyways in the first place. So now I am just at the same point as everyone else
That works Whats really weird is that my roomates sister will be the same grade as us when we come back from our missions
Haha yeah that happens
She still seems 12 to me
My friends little siblings are ahead of me now by a semester and that is crazy that they were two grades younger Haha I get that
You know that one? Any sibling of my friends will always be a little kid until they are adults
Yeah Have you ever watched parks and rec?
I tried the first episode but i got kinda bored I made it like 10 mins
Yeah, it gets pretty dumb Its over hyped
Why do you ask?
It passed by on my hulu
Nice.
Do you follow any shows?
Im watching doctor who right now. I like a bunch of different shows
Nice I have never seen it
Sad, its a quality show The one i like most on hulu is brooklyn 99 That show is hilarious
I LOVE THAT SHOW
Thank goodness it got picked up again
Yeah when that news came out my sister texted me right away We were both sad it was going to end But now we can party
Heck yeah My friend and i always use the "name of your sex tape" joke for literally anything Its great
Hahaha
Have you seen deception?
I havent
That one is pretty good. Its about a magician whos brother is framed so he uses his skills of illusion to help the FBI solve  crimes Wait Have you seen Psych?!
Oh that sounds way cool I havent...
Do you at least know what it is?
I have heard about it a lot
Then i wont describe it for you But you should watch it
I will have to Do you know if it is on hulu?
Dont think so. I just rewatched it on amazon prime
Ah man One day I will see it
One day What else do you watch?
Right now nothing else really
Oh well
My friend recommended arrested development I want to see it but I dont know where to
I wouldnt know, havent seen that either What do you think about the BYU honors program? Are you in it?
My roommate was in it, it helps you think in new ways
Did it seem like he had more work to do? Cause ive been overloaded for the past 2 years and need a break
Yeah I think it can add more work and classes you need to take He was pretty busy, but I think it was just the other classes he was taking I am not sure
Hmmm What about you? Did you have free time?
I made myself busy, I was doing 16 credits and didnt have much of a social life I could have made more free time I guess
Dang, ive been hopeing for fun time
You dont have to take that many credits, and it will be alittle lighter Its different than highschool because you are paying to be a student at college. So your life is a student life full time
Thats still only 1 class more than 14 credits though isnt it?
Yeah, but depending on the class, it can add hours more of work
Yeah i can see that
Some weeks will be really bad and you wont have like any time if you care about grades, but other weeks will be pretty slow My favorite thing to do in free time after napping, was to sit and enjoy the sun, or throw a frisbee around And they have pool and ping pong tables that are open, those wer fun too
Did you have time to work out? Like runs and stuff?
I did well until the weather was bad I wont run when its snowing or raining and for a while it was just bad so I got out of the habit, but there is definitely time
Okay thats good. When do you wake up and go to sleep usually? Whats kind of the norm?
I usually got up at 7 sometimes earlier, then went to bed at 11 or midnight
Okay, that doesnt sound to bad
Yeah I value sleep a lot, so I make time for that I rarely give up sleep
Same, i just never take naps Unless im sick Then i just pass out whenever im sitting down
Hahaha yeah, I try not to nap, unless I cant keep going
Im looking at the honors program and it looks like it might not be any more classes. Each of the honors classes  counts for two of the generals
Oh that would be good, I obviously didnt know anything then
So instead of 6 generals i have to take 3 classes, but they might be two semester classes
So basically it comes out to the same thing if they are two semester classes
Yeah but i cant figure out the length
What do you mean?
I cant figure if they are semesters or year longs
I can text my roommate and ask him what all he is doing with honors and let you know
Cool thanks!
Yeah for sure He said "If you start it your first semester and use it to cover generals the workload will stay about the same. So far I really like it and its much better at making things relatable than other classes. The only really hard thing it adds is a thesis at the end, but that can count for a lot of majors final requirements too ."
Thanks man
Yeah for sure I hope that helps
Sounds like a good way to combine some things
Yeah, thats what it seems like Have you seen Infinity wars yet?
Heck yeah i have! Have you?
Yeah I saw it the morning it came out What did you think about it?
I really liked it And i really hated it
Hahaha relateable
I did think that the reasoning and development of thanos was good because it made me kinda relate to him snd feel bad for him He and killmonger are the best two villains i think And loki
They did make him more personable with his emotions
So do you think thay they are all dead?
I mean, yeah. But I dont think marvel will keep it that way
I heard that the directors confirmed that at least Gamora is in the soul stone
Really?! I figured he would turn back time because he missed her and it would undo everything and people would be back Playing off what dr strange said that it was the only way to give him that stone
Nah, i think that strange either messed with the stone somehow or saw that he needed to save tony for the one good future to happen
I just dont know how they got rid of so many without their contracts being over in real life But that would be interesting, I am sad that spiderman is gone I really liked tom holland
Me too! I wish i could do all of the cool stuff he does
Oh same Who is your favorite marvel super hero
Probably spiderman or doctor strange, what about you?
Hahaha literally  the same
They're just the funniest and the coolest
I like Dr strange's powers
The cinematic feel of all the magic stuff is super cool, kind of other worldly
Yeah for sure, I find is so fascinating
I also like the asthetic that they use to show the magic. Its like its the same energy but just arranged differently
Yeah and the dimensional stuff the way it is portrayed as glass is way cool since glass often changes the perspective and appearance of light
Yeah Hey did you know that mirrors are technically green?
That makes sense since when you line them up it just fades to green
Normally when i tell people that they kinda freak out and start asking a bunch of questions
Hm interesting, I think about a lot of things in general
How about this one? The greek didnt have the color blue
Like they didnt have that color dye?
No, they didnt have blue at all It wasnt a thing for them
Did they have a word for it, its not surprising they didnt have a color if nothing around had the dye for it
Not only did they not have a word for it but they couldnt see it at all
Why is that? Was blue green color blindness prevalent amongst their people?
blue doesnt really occur in nature all that much so the only blue things for them were the sky and the sea. Both of which arent very blue If we arent ever told that the sky and sea are blue then its been shown that it can make it so we dont see them as blue
Yeah there arnt a lot of naturally blue things When was the color introduced into their culure
Anything that is blue is because of raleigh scattering, not blue coloring. Except for some bird i think Im not sure it ever was
Way cool Its so interesting to think about all these things
I know right? i like watching Vsauce and stuff like that
Whats Vsauce
Its a sciency youtube channel Did you know that blue eyes are actually a dull gray?
Oh maybe I have, its kinda familiar now I have heard that before
The main guy always starts with "hey Vsauce, michael here" Thats raleigh scattering too
They teach like mini lessons sometimes right?
Yeah
I love watching nature documentaries, I think I have seen all the ones available on youtube
Did you ever watch Nature on PBS?
Oh all the time growing up
That used to be what my family watched on sundays Every sunday it was AFV and Nature
Nice, that was my favorite thing. We would eat dinner and watch AFV together then I would go watch Nature
They always seemed to be super sad at some point too
That is true, they really pull at the heart strings
Like "heres bob, the cute little horse, look how great bobs li- oh, oh bob,  RIP bob"
hahahaha yeah Did you ever see the planet earth documentaries?
I saw the first one
