Spring term started out a lot cooler than I anticipated. I pictured myself wearing shorts and sandals, maybe even getting a tan on my walks to school. But instead the dark cloudy skies brought snow, soaking my feet and starting the semester off with a downer.
I'm taking Management Communications as my Advanced Written & Oral Communication credit, and so far I really like the class. One of our assignments is to blog two times a week about anything we want. The only requirement is that it is 150 words long, and both posts are written by 11:57pm Sunday evening (Thus the late night blogging tonight)
This is my first time ever going to school for Spring term. I've been making a list of pros and cons in my head each day while I walk home. Both sides of the list are pretty even. However, the one thing that overpowers the con side of the list would be the increase in BYU visitors. This includes both the pretentious teens visiting for
EFY, which always seem to holler obnoxious things all hours of the day for nearly every week of the summer as well as the masses of women that fill campus during
Women’s Conference.
We technically live on campus so during any event that goes on at BYU we are trapped until the traffic subsides. Last week while driving pass campus, I nearly hit two separate women at different intersections. People that are crossing the street without looking or going at the wrong time. These are women on a mission, and nothing will come between them and their spiritual workshops.
So as the summer begins, and campus swells with visitors, I will be attending school and most likely have more interesting encounters with tourists that I will be sure to blog about.

im excited about the blog posts. i wish i was at least somewhere taking classes this summer with you!!!
I miss you!
women fest was and is always out of control! so glad it's done with!
Wow....you almost killed WC women? BE CAREFUL!! They are most likely mothers or grandmothers you know....forget that they are talking on the phone AND texting at the same time all the while determining from the booklet they have in their hands, what class they are going to attend next!! But at least that's over now!!
Be SAFE this spring.
And by the way....it's a wonderful conference....you need to attend it one year so you can understand why they come.
blogging for class? fun!
As a person who has to deal with tourists on a daily basis...I feel for you. SERIOUSLY.
Snow? It's 80 degrees here . . . Just in case you are factoring in weather into the law school decision . . .
I know what you mean about the women's conference ladies. I've had several such run-ins with the sisters. Somehow, I think that traffic laws for pedestrians cease to exist during that weekend . . . at least in some people's minds:)
HA! When I was working at the Conference Center two summers ago I heard this horror story:
Three large-and-in-charge women were at the Marriott Center and needed to get down to the Wilk. They flagged over some poor student employee driving a BYU Catering van and demanded that he drive them down. When he protested, one of the woman said, "This is a church school and I pay my tithing, so you will drive us there right now without a fuss."
Women's Conference brings out the worst in some people. HA!
Atleast you aren't in rexburg.
