Epic PHAIL.


I have done some pretty dumb stuff in my life, and while this morning didn't top the list.. it came pretty close.
Trey and I are in the same geography class. Yesterday, we spent most of the day studying for our final at 8:00am this morning. We left the Commons this morning around 7:30, stopped so Trey could get something to eat, then got to our classroom a couple minutes before eight. I said to Trey "look, our seats are open!" See, there are these kids who ALWAYS sit in our seats on test days. Not any other days, just test days.. I guess so they can cheat.. who knows. Clue number one- our seats were open on a test day.
Anyway, we go sit down. I looked to the front of the room only to find two teachers I have never seen before. Trey and I were like "aww man.. where is Mother Nature?" Fact: our geography teacher IS Mother Nature. Just accept it and move on. I was wondering why she would get someone else to give her final.. weird. Then Trey mentions that one of the teachers taught his film class last semester. Clue number two- the man at the front of the room was not only NOT a TA... he didn't even teach geography. But we still didn't get it..
I then noticed that everyone in the class already had scantrons so I walked to the front of the room and grabbed two. These scantrons were the full size 8.5" x 11" scantrons. I thought that was weird taking into account we never use those.. we always use the little skinny ones. Clue number three.
As I start to sit back down, Trey throws out the wild possibility that we may be in the wrong class. .......ehhh.... oh. I looked around.. didn't recognize anyone. Not that I really ever paid attention to the people in that class anyway.. but I mean I knew no one in there. Trey then turns to a girl sitting behind us and asks, "what final are you here to take?" She replied, "...film."
SOLID. Epic PHHAIL. Trey and I gather our things, leave our scantrons on our desks, and slowly make our way to the front of the room and back out the doors.
While part of me was really shocked that we had just done that, another part of me wasn't surprised at all. Winners I tell ya.. that's us.
We sat outside our classroom for about twenty minutes looking through the syllabus, looking through uLearn, calling/texting people in our class, only to find nothing and to have no one get back to us. We finally e-mailed Mother Nature herself and admitted our stupidity and asked if she could tell us one more time when the final was. Turns out it's this Thursday at 8:00am.
Awesome. We are awesome.

Better late than never.

I know Thanksgiving was like a whole five days ago... whatever.
Anyway, I thought that in the spirit of the season I would list a few things off the top of my head that made me smile this week.

These are in no particular order.. I'm just typing as things come to mind.

Tech beating Georgia. I really could not have asked for anything more than my Jackets beating up on the Dawgs in front of about 90,000 of their obnoxious fans. (I don't mean all of UGA's fans are obnoxious.. if you know one I'm sure they're lovely)
Family. I love my family so much, man. They are so cool and laid back.. awesome. They are awesome.
My Savior. This time of year is so spiritual for me. It just brings everything into focus in a way that I wish I viewed it all the time.
Trey's whistle "S" haha! So great.
Conversations on the floor outside my door.
Basketball. Gah, such a great game. And I love getting paid to watch it.
Really lame jokes... all day long. (none of you are going to understand that.. but I thought of it.. and I am holding nothing back)
My sister's kisses. The best.
And her finally sitting still long enough for me to draw her for my final art project. 
Fall and all the glorious goodness that comes with it.
My Jon Foreman vinyls finally coming in the mail.
My mom and everything about her.
Coldplay's new EP.
Hot apple cider.
Kristian and his love for the song Joy to the World.
Non-stop Christmas music on 104.7 fm.
Catchphrase and the wonderful people who played with me until 1:00 this morning.
You. You reading things like this. Really? I'm not sure why anyone reads this crap.. but thanks. =)
 
So yeah those were really random. I know.. and I'm sure that I left out a bunch. But those were just a few things that I have been blessed from this week.
