Beckham is Old. What the heck.

I'm  not a fan of soccer.
If you know me, you know that I don't like soccer, I don't really try to understand soccer, it's not something I'm good at, and the rules are weird to me. BUT, this weekend when Eliza and I went to her house (again), Sam got us tickets to go to a REAL game in Salt Lake! Now I'll be honest, when he asked if I wanted to go I immediately looked at Eliza, cause if she wanted to go, I would go and if she didn't I would have gladly declined. But then he said they were playing the LA Galaxy, and DAVID BECKHAM plays for LA, so of course I jumped on the bandwagon  =]
And ya know what? Beckham is lookin' OLD! Bruce took a couple pictures and he looks so old! He's gotta be about 35 or 36 years old, but it's Beckham, he should look 35 or 36 years YOUNG! But oh well, it was still worth it!

WE WON 4-1, which was so awesome! It was super cold, so it was good that we won, or I would have been grumpy. But thanks to Bruce I'm starting to figure out how the whole soccer thing works. Then we went to eat Mexican food (of course, cause Bruce and Sam love their Mexican food) and then we went home for hot chocolate. Eliza and I were still pretty cold when we got home about 2 hours later!

Anywho, that was the major event of my weekend. I can't guarantee that I will go to another soccer game, but I bet those Wilsons could talk me into it. Who knows, maybe I'll start liking soccer . . . don't hold your breath or anything though.

What's Up With the Owls?

Yea I HATE owls, and this weekend I realized how scary the little buggers are. So, I found the silliest picture of owls that I could that doesn't make them look so freakin' scary, and I'm hoping that if I keep seeing them in this positive light that I won't be so scared of them.

Ok, I lied. I got bored and decided to create my own template for my blog, and the owls were the only picture that I liked AND tiled as a background without seeing the seams. I know, I should be studying instead.

Also a new addition to the blog is some more music on my playlist! This weekend when Eliza and I went to her house (again) we watched The Fourth Kind! Well, I watched it and she fell asleep AS USUAL. Anyways, so in honor of the freaky movie we watched I thought Katy Perry's new song "E.T." would be an appropriate tribute.

(GAH! FREAKING CREEPY OWL FROM THE MOVIE!)

I was just thinking that I guess most of my crazy adventures on here do NOT happen at BYU. Uh oh. Maybe I should change the title of the blog. Hmmmm, OH WELL. 

My craziest adventure this weekend was at Eliza's house (again). I ditched my bestie (which was sad) and went with her older brothers, Bruce and Sam, to go rock climbing! On real rocks! Oh my gosh it was so scary, and I was SO SCARED, but of course I couldn't let Bruce and Sam see how freaked I was. I have too much pride =] My biggest fear (besides having all of my teeth fall out hahaha) is heights, but I wasn't about to let my fear get in the way of doing something as epic as rock climbing with Bruce and Sam! So I just did it. And it was crazy hard, but crazy fun too, and I want to go again! I felt bad, cause I think I slowed Bruce and Sam down, but they were super patient. 

This weekend was pretty legit, but now I gotta start another week of school. Eliza keeps telling me how close summer is, but all I hear when she says that is "FINALS ARE COMING FOR YOU!" I have 4 midterms to do this week which is gunna suck, but then I'm home-free till finals. 

And now, your reward for reading all of this stuff:

Keyboard Drum Kit! Thank you StumbleUpon =]

Peace and Blessings <3

Jellyfish. Big Ole Nasty Fish.

I have to give a shout-out to Julian Smith. You are a genius and I hope you are making a crap-load of money for your talents. If you don't know Julian (not that I know him personally, of course), you have not lived and you must see his stuff. LOVE IT.

This week is going to be epic for three reasons. 

1). I am going to go to bed by midnight every night, which may seem super late to some, but that is EARLY compared to how late Eliza and I have been staying up being crazy. Every time we could go to sleep we think about it, and go "Nah. Let's just stay up." and then we're tired the next day. So I'm going to bed by midnight. Sweet mercy . . .

2). I am going to get a job. Or at least I am applying and praying that I will get a job. Wells Fargo, I am COMING for you. 

3). Intramural Basketball Tournament starts! We are going to get that championship t-shirt or die trying, watch it happen. Go Team T!

 

And now I am going to whine about my Intro to Jazz class because this is my blog and I CAN. No, not Intro to Jazz like dancing, heck no. We're talking legitimate Jazz Music, oh and Bebop, Swing and Blues. When I signed up for the class I didn't need the class, I was only taking it because I did Jazz band in high school (try to contain your jealousy) and I think it's pretty cool. 

Yea, well that was BEFORE I was DROWNING in homework, listening quizzes and documentary assignments about the history of every scrap of music ever played and listened to from the 1880s-1970s. In case you didn't know, that's a ton of music. 

So yea, I'm not doing too good in that class, but I'm gunna try to pass, which is looking like a harder and harder goal to achieve as the reports and listening assignments rack up. Uh oh . . . 

So there was my whining section. 

Lastly, I don't know if any of you BYU Cougars have noticed, but it smells like Spring outside, YAY! When I walked outside the other day it smelled like a softball field and I started dreading running around the track, and then I remembered that I'm not in high school so I don't have to go to the track after class and run a bunch of 400 meter sprints. Yay college! And yay spring! 

Peace and blessings =]

Not Sleeping. (That is dumb of me)

I should be sleeping, but I am not. It's 2am and I am awake. WHY?! I do not *know* (say that like Eliza Wilson would say that, so if you know Eliza you should be laughing right now . . . )

BYU is awesome. I love it here. Classes are fun, my dorm is fun, my best friend is fun, BYU basketball is fun (sometimes, refer to the picture below), and I can not wait for more FUN this weekend!

Tonight was our intramural basketball game. Yea, we lost, but we worked hard. We were sweating, so it was good exercise and we are better off. Yay us *eye roll* (I just wanna WIN!)
Tomorrow I wanna play racquetball with Eliza cause it's also FUN and good exercise.

(that picture below is the BYU racquetball team. Eliza and I would join, but we would be WAAAAY to good, so we're just gunna let these nice people keep their pride)

I don't know any of those people in that picture . . .

ANYWAYS. I have nothing else to report, other than BYU continues to be awesome.

love, austi
