Campus Life

Leaving campus last night, Shelby and I were discussing how while our class consumes our lives, we love the feeling of productivity it brings.  We have been spending more time on campus studying for this class that we do when we are taking 5 classes during the regular semester.  Honestly, it's not the most fun thing to do.  But at least it brings a feeling of accomplishment.

So, while we're walking out of the business building, we see this person creeping behind this tree.  We walk past them, feeling kind of nervous, and notice another person crouching on the ground next to them.

Okayyy...could they be acting any creepier??  We burst out laughing, and just keep walking to the parking lot.

We subsequently found out that some people were playing night games on campus, felt significantly less concerned about the sketchy activity, went and bought some frozen dinners, and went to bed.

Sadly, we're kinda missing the fun part of campus life.  But hey, at least we're learning how to audit.  

Still Fun

I haven't been super good about blogging lately, obviously, because I know that no one cares about my Kinder Morgan LBO project, and that's about the extent of what I've posted lately.  At the beginning of the semester, I was just so excited to be back up at school, hanging out with all of my friends, doing fun roommate activities, and just enjoying being back up at USU.

I'm still doing all of that great stuff (as well as lots of studying and homework, because that has definitely picked up over the semester), but I'm just not appreciating it or recognizing it as much.  Also...I'm just not taking as many pictures, and pictures obviously make everything seem so much cooler.  

Anyways, we have been up to some fun, both photographically documented and not.  Here are some highlights of the weekend.

>Paying tribute to No-Shave-November...we attended the Lumberjack Party - there were mustaches, flapjacks, and a whole lot of plaid.  

>Game Night.  Always a pleasure.

>Watched Lexi come up with creative ways to save her art project.  I'm pretty sure she doesn't read my blog...so probably don't tell her these pictures are on the internet.  (For reals though, this was a great piece of artwork.  I'm already looking forward to next fall so she can try it again.)

>We did manage to spend a solid three hours at the library working on homework and studying.  It was quite productive.  

>But before we made it up to the library...we took our frequent trip down to Gossners.  This might be a slight exaggeration, but probably a quarter of the amount I spend on groceries...I spend on cheese.  Alexis and I might have a problem.  (One might determine this when we go through one of these in less than a week...but whatever, cheese makes everything better.)

>Aggie Basketball.  It was a pretty good game.  We had a nice time.  

>Alexis's friend let us come to his apartment where they are harboring a yorkie-poo (a poodle yorkie!) puppy.  Oh. My. Gosh.  It was so cute, and I was in heaven.  I wish I had a picture of this one.  

>On Sunday, Alexis and I made cauliflower pancakes.  Not to be confused with pancakes you with syrup... While Lex was disappointed with these, I was thrilled.  They are so dang good!  A current favorite for sure.  

Weekends are good stuff.  This one was pretty relaxed, which is nice.  It was good to hang out with friends, eat some good food (of course!), and just enjoy life.  

We Love the Library

Aggies all the Way!

The first half of nighttime Aggie football games are always real sunny.  The sun is in just the right place to blind all of the student section, so the minute the sun sinks behind the west side bleachers, the game automatically gets a whole lot better.

This is Alexis and I freshman year.  See how bright and sunny it is?  Hence my sunglasses.

The game tonight was against the University of Utah.  I felt like there's a pretty intense rivalry, especially because Utah State hasn't beaten the U in...years.  So we were hoping pretty hard that we would pull off a win.

It started off well!  I'd try to give a nice play-by-play of the game, but this is football, not basketball.  Let's just stick with the main highlight.  The fourth quarter ended with the score tied at 20.  In overtime, we scored, and they didn't.  That sentence makes it sound like it was a pretty calm thing, but even Alexis was getting real nervous!  It was super intense, but that made the win even more exciting!

Victorious.  We were too afraid to actually storm the field.

So we just walked down and took a picture by the stormers after it calmed.

Yup, Utah State is a great place to be.

Also, we made some new friends at the game, but there's no photographic evidence of that... But I've decided games are great places to meet new and fun people.  Tonight was definitely a success.
