Day one of week two

so math is easy, therefore i get to blog today!

ummm things i have learned thus far will be a nice start to my blog

1. FOOD-- THERE IS NOTHING like home cooked meals. yes the market place has good food, but it's not good enough. and they dont have the good ranch! oh and dont try the potatoes, as an avid potato picker-upper in pocatello every year at harvest time until i was about 12, i know a good potato and Utah State doesnt have them.

2. WATCH OUT! so today is technically the second day of week two but the first of class, yet we didnt have class yesterday due to UNLABOR day (i re-named it). but it is clearly evident that everyone went home by the looks of campus. Firstly, every light in my whole building was off when i got home, with little if any life on campus (excluding the delinquent acts happening on the side of my building, and all the cops), but you can mostly tell by all the wheels hittin campus! those long boards!!!! long boarders are out for blood, yet are extremely talented and can pass any level on their psp while wheeling through campus. it you do not see anything else, the long boarders are the ones to watch out for.

3. ENGLISH- is not the common language. there isnt one! and there is no American accent, but there are hundreds of others, which makes listening very difficult.

4. T.V. oh gosh on campus tv is the most amazing! we have like 115 channels! and MTV with ONLY music videos... who would have thunk... WHAT IS AMARICA COMING TO?! all music videos all the time?

5. MUSIC- you are not going to meet anyone if you have music in your ears. its hard enough meeting people, but music isnt universal when its only in your head.

6. BOOT SEASON- is probably the best season EVER! because you now have an excuse to wear socks, but no one will ever have to see them. yet hooker boots. they are not cool and yo might as well be wearing those brown sandels everyone have back in 4th grade, with purple socks!

7. FLAMINGOS named Gilbert do attract guys! maybe not the really cute football players 5 doors down, and espically not when you are cleaning chocolate off his beak for the third time in the same week, but it works. other things that dont attract football players are sandals and socks and a girl who doesnt eat meat (or thats what is assumed by me as for now, after listening to their conversations at lunch). Football and Flamingos do not mix.

so thats what college has taught me thus far. maybe not totally what my mom was looking for in a college education, but hey its something.

How does your creepy flamingo keep getting chocolate on his beak!??!

I'm glad you started blogging on your own blog - but keep blogging on the family blog too!

Have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do (which basically means you can do whatever you want!)

Love ya!

Sounds like you are on the right track. You listed some very important things you have learned in a very short time. Just think how long the list will be by Christmas!

Who Used All the Black Crayon?

Guys, I am used to about 14 views each post. That's it (which is weird, because I post every blog link to my family's Facebook group and there are 40 of us in there... Thanks guys!). I was not expecting that many hits on one post, but I got it, and it has sparked a lot of conversation that I feel to be very productive. I have been so honored by the respect I have been given from those who’s opinions differ from mine, and the dialogue we have been able to have on the matter of race in today's society. Some of the best conversations have come from the, "But why?" question. But why is that offensive? On Facebook I shared this Vox link , so I won't get into that, but I do want to take some time to talk about taking offense. Life is a collection of experience. After one is written into our book, the next experience will be affected because of it. In kindergarten, I had a true Corrina, Corrina experience in class, when someone asked, "Who used all ...

PSA: You Didn't Win Halloween & Neither Did I

Last night my social media feed was filled with photos of friends attending their weekend parties in their Halloween costumes. There were a couple families and friend groups who were the cast of Napoleon Dynamite, a hilarious couple who went as their dogs, Curious George and the man in the Yellow Suite, and even Tess and Emily Tyler (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from Billboard Dad). People are so creative when it comes to Halloween costumes! I am so not! But then I saw a couple’s costume I was so unbelievable uncomfortable with. alloween It was on Snapchat. Two people, one had painted himself brown to depict a character, a “hero” from a TV show we all watched in high school. Not just face painted, but arms, neck, chest. Then they added the chains. This, to that couple was a costume, but this also has a name, and that name is “blackface”. Minstrel shows started in the mid to late 19 th century, where white actors would paint their face to depict blacks on stage. The acto...
