I doubt he's in the SWKT, the unfortunates of that are my Poli Sci 170 tests are in class. Judging from this first one it going to be a long and tedious year. But the first test is over and there is nothing I can do to change it, so I will not dwell on it.
In other news: BYU dominated in men's volley ball last night 3 games to 1. This week was pretty uneventful as I mostly just did homework.

Oh, sweet joy of wheels beneath my feet
After more than a month of being bound to my boots and tennis shoes the sidewalks were finally clear of ice and I could once again revel in the splendor of wheels on my heels. It was wonderful to be able to travel fast again, to whip down the sidewalk without taking steps.
In other news: We were suppose to go on a triple date(classic skating!!) on Friday but do to my lack of charisma and Tyler's fear of telephones it had to postponed so we just hung out as an apartment. Saturday we went up to Tyler's home in South Jordon to have dinner with his family. We had a really good time. Tomorrow is a holiday so I don't have to go to school, I'm very happy.

How could we have been so wrong?
I remember it clearly. We slapped high fives all around as we joyfully exclaimed that we would never have another geography quiz or journal again. Imagine my surprise when in Poli Sci 170 it is announced that we will have quiz on geography and current events papers. How could we have been so wrong? How could I have landed in another class doing the things I dreaded most last semester.
Oh, such is life.

Nose to the grindstone
Oh, for the carefree days of christmas break, why didst thou not cherish them when thine they were?
Such is the question I find myself wondering as I'm back at the grindstone(formerly called BYU), I had a wonderful break but it wasn't nearly long enough, and now its back to school and work. My Book of Mormon teacher even said the word FINAL today. How could that be? How could he say something so horrible after I just endured a whole semester?
In other news: the new roommate moved in and he seems pretty cool, Steven caved over Christmas to the Facebook pressure, and Brent is in the MTC learning Spanish.

They taste the same but somehow they taste better
While in the creamery getting my milk and cookies I couldn't resist the "Winter" Oreos with red cream and holiday prints. While eating them I told Brent and Steven, "Nothing tastes better than christmas oreos." "Do they actually taste different?" Brent asked. "Nope," I said, "they taste the same but somehow they taste better" Brent just stared at me and was like "think about that, Ben"
I have thought about it and eaten some more and I still say they taste the same but somehow they taste better.

DUCOM and the Forgotten Carols
Well, yesterday was the little known holiday DUCOM(dress up comb over monday), I think it was the first time I've parted my hair in like 6 years. Four of us(Josh, Ryan, Jesse and myself) participated and I must say we looked snazy.
In other news: My friend Josh had an extra ticket to the Forgotten Carols last night so we went up to it last night(some of you will remember that we missed it several years back because of snow) and it was absolutely amazing. Also Finals start next week and I am seriously doubting if God is in the Testing Center, but what I really hope is that He's in the JSB where most of my finals will take place.
