University excused spring break

Probably the best idea I have had this year has been to add the careers in recreation class. I have had more fun in this class than any other classes I have taken, and I have taken some pretty fun classes. Of course is it possible to not love a class in which you go to California during the middle of February and get university credit for it. On top of that be able to have the opportunity to tour some sweet recreational facilities from St George to Los Angeles. 

Some of my personal highlights was talking to imagineers from Disney (we may have spent the whole day in Disneyland also), touring the Angels stadium (including going to the dugout and their locker room), getting a free Trans-Siberian Orchestra t-shirt, going to the strip in Vegas, and just being able to see all the many career choices I have before me. 

Best final ever? Without a doubt.

Giving a "coke" to a stranger

So this past week my professor challenged the class to "buy a coke" for a stranger and then blog about it. Here's the problems with this picture, #1 I hardly ever buy anything for myself, which brought about problem #2 I might have completely forgotten about it and not done it, oops. And #3 I was supposed to blog about it next week.  I have however given a "coke" to a stranger before so instead of making something up I will just retell this story.

So one day I decide to help my friend, Cami, with a booth that she has in the middle of Brigham Square.  At this booth we are giving away brownies to people that come talk to us.  As we start closing down we still have some brownies left. Cami, gets this brilliant idea that I should give it to some cute boy. Then as her mind keeps going she decides I should put my phone number on the napkin underneath the last two brownies.  I just laughed at her ridiculousness. She proceeds to further entice me by promising to buy me lunch if I do it.

Now I am a poor starving college student, If you know anything about those you know they will do almost anything for a free meal. So I agreed to her challenge.  We proceeded to wander around the BYU campus for what I would call my victim.  After wandering for a long time, I might have just gotten sick of it so I just ran up to some random boy and handed him this napkin with two brownies and one phone number on it. 

So just like that mission accomplished. I got a free lunch and gave a "coke" to a random stranger even if it was a few months early.  I think that I will try it again and maybe even stick around for the reaction.

My only claim to fame thus far

It was just an average day working at the ticket office when destiny arrived, in the form of two college boys.  They approached my window and asked if I would be in a movie for them.  They were filming it to give to some girl so I figured why not, might as well help out my fellow man. 

What I didn't realize was how many people were actually going to see this video.  They film me with my little 10 second part and go on their way.  As I continue my day I go to class which is in the basement of the MARB aka no cell phone service.  When I finally get out of class my phone starts vibrating like crazy 11 unread text messages.  They were all telling me how famous i was. Same day I got filmed I got famous, not even all of the movie stars can say that. New life goal achieved. 

I have heard rumors that it even got onto ESPN? Sweet.

You're it

I may have found my new love.... Laser Tag I have learned from last month that there are two types of laser tag: Laser tag and Laser TAG. Now the first was in your normal run around a room painted black with wooden walls shooting at each other’s vests, while music is playing over the speakers. Fun? Yes... could it be better? apparently... Now laser TAG stands for Tactical Action Games. Basically in this game we went outside, yes outside in January, in the Provo canyon (at Timpanogos park to be exact), to play a glorious mixture of laser tag and the best night games you have ever experienced.  Each game we played the games got more exciting and intense than the next. By the final game we had bases to protect, bases to rebuild, bases to destroy (the other teams bases), enemies to shoot, our own butt to save, other peoples butt to rescue and we were also trying to capture the enemies’ flag while of course protecting our own.  I would have to say along with the fun I learned some valuable skills, especially if zombies attack.
