The HOWL!







So yesterday was the famous (or infamous) USU Howl. It was nuts, there were people everywhere. I wasn't planning on attending the Howl until Friday so my costume was rather lame, toga sheet thing. But it really doesn't matter because once you get their the biggest deal is dancing. There was also a hypnotist, live bands, and a DJ. The DJ was set up in the HUB, the food place in the lower level of the TSC (Taggert Student Center). The Hub isnt really a large area and there were about 500 people trying to dance in there at the same time. It was pretty squishy, smelly, and hot but it was rocking!

Hockey



So if you've been hearing about USU's stellar football record so far this year NEVER FEAR, because USU has a really good hockey team. I went one of their games a few days ago and it was crazy! The ice rink isn't too far from campus and a lot of students go so the place is packed. I was pleased to see that the hockey team hit harder than the football team (which isn't hard to do) but they hit significantly harder. There were three fights and lots of good plays and I got to eat churros!

Lazy Friday


This is a blog on how to correctly use a day off from school. First of all you cant have a lazy day if you have more than and hour of studying to do. Because you are in college and you pay money to be here you always study got it! That said take a lazy day whenever you feel like it even if you have 5 hours of work to do, just don't come crying to me when you suck at school.

A correct lazy day starts the night before with some kind of late night activity, basically you have to stay out late so that you don't go to bed until it is the early (or late) morning of the designated Lazy day. What time you wake up on a Lazy day is very important, if you sleep past 1 then its not a Lazy day but just a wasted day, so wake up before 1! I usually wake up around 11 and then go down to the junction for some brunch. After brunching it up you can either get your hour of work done or you can play some Guitar Hero II. Guitar Hero II is very critical to a Lazy day because it is a video game that makes you feel like you are doing something productive when your really not. After you have gotten your hour of work done and played Free Bird on Guitar Hero you can have some social interaction. You can either invite people over for more Guitar Hero or you could go over to a friends house and make food. I personally went with the food option because snacking in vital to Lazy days. After a few more hours it is dark and you can either end your Lazy day by starting a new one (by staying up late again) or you can remember that too much of anything is not so good and go to bed at a reasonable time, around 12.

Well that's the formula for a Lazy day, but remember to use sparingly.

Tango master


Today I was made tango master in my social ballroom dance class, yeah that's right tango master. We've been learning tango in my class for a few weeks and today we had the competition that the teacher said we were going to have. We had three rounds and my partner and I got tapped all three times. Then the teacher had the last five couples face the wall and had the class vote which couple was the best. And needless to say (because of the title) my partner and I were the best.

FIRE ALARMS!!

So I roll out of bed at 8:35 and have Biology at 9. So i throw on a shirt and pants, and then shoes (shoes first doesn't work too well). I get to the Marketplace in the Taggert Center which is THE place for breakfast. They have french toast, muffins, tons of cereal, and waffles. So i get myself a huge tray of a healthy balanced breakfast and sit down and take my first bite. AND as soon as i do the lights flicker, the fire alarms go off, and the Marketplace starts to empty. So i think this is RIDICULOUS! I've never been in a fire alarm that I didn't know was a drill so I figured that everyone would run out and whatnot but most everyone seemed as bored as I did about the alarm. But since it was a fire drill and people who don't leave buildings that are on fire usually don't look so good after, I left my delicious meal and walked outside to saftey. By this time my class was starting in two minutes I did not break my fast this morning. But this blog is not totally sad because Iwent back to the Marketplace for lunch and they had my favorite, chicken Cordon Bleu, awesome!
