My college experiences so far, well their not the stuff of legends , but I still enjoy them. I guess we can start with my first college failure.
It all started with some chicken, and some rice. And as i'm sure you've guessed from the title, I am at least a little knowledgeable when it comes to the culinary aspects of life, I know my around a kitchen anyways. Well brilliant me, I decided to make some delicious taco's, and what better way than to christen my brand new, polka dotted crock pot, (the fact that it's polka-dotted is important). So I put my chicken in , and it's a crock pot, so there's not much else to do.Except I wanted rice with my taco's and so i put the rice in with the chicken and life was good.
Except that it may not have been.
Okay so maybe that's an exaggeration, for one I didn't really have an attractive man to share in the experience.
and Two, my rice didn't actually explode. It just.... wasn't exactly delicious. We'll put it this way, I had some crunchy tacos for about a week. Because there's this thing called having more water than you do rice. ya.... i forgot about that. So i had some not so delicious tacos for dinner, it was pretty sad.
Now moving on from depressing tacos,
Other things i have learned from SUU,
1. According to the band that played during the club fair, i need to put vodka in my lemonade. However i don't think this advice should be followed based on the fact that i don't want to ruin perfectly good lemonade and secondly, the band wasn't quite good enough to merit such devoted following.
2. Lightening DOES strike the same spot twice, lately its been targeting the wireless routers, which makes for an enjoyable time in doing my online classes.
3. Going off of the lightening thing, there has also been an oddly common occurrence of rainbows, i think the leprechauns are planning something.
4. SUU is pretty awesome, GO T-BIRDS, ( i don't even know what a thunder bird is) Definitions i have received of a T-Bird: A chicken with extremely large biceps, A mans body with a feathered head, the list goes on for a while, but the chicken one is my personal favorite.
Apparently this is a thunder bird.
i'm not sure, i didn't know we were dinosaurs
i kind of wish we could do dinosaur impressions.
it would definitely make things more entertaining.
6. Cedar City has these twinkly light on all the trees on main street. They are really rather beautiful. They remind of how beautiful everything is, beauty in some of the most simple things. The simplicity of tiny little light bulbs, some how it makes me want to go frolic around like a fairy.
It reminds me of how different it is here. The differences that lie in the tiny little things. I remember my house used to have a sound, the way the floor boards creaked and groaned at miscellaneous times, the way the crickets played pretend musician outside my window at night. And how the wind would blow and whistle through the trees , it was normal . I have never realized that the night sounds different, that is now. For the past week i've been listening at night, the way my apartment creaks, and how the wind sounds here. Its different, it was unnerving at first, the difference, and really its rather silly because you would never think that those night sounds would make a difference. They do make a difference, the music here is different.
I've been listening lately, listening to the way my days play out, how it sounds in my calculus class when half of the class falls prey to drowsy eyelids, and the squeak of almost remembered algorithms as i attempt to remain alert. The sounds of my bike as I ride around campus leaving strings of rickety chords along the cement, it's all becoming familiar to me. And more than that the sounds are starting to be me, this new place, this new experience, it's all mine, it's my own music, my own beat. And somehow that makes everything a little bit more okay.
