Uneventful

Not a lot has happened this week. It's sorta just been one of those weeks. However, I did get the fun opportunity today to go to ACDA (whatever that stands for) with BYU Womens Choir! We basically got to sing our 3 pieces for a lot of choral directors. It was awesome! I really love singing the music we have, especially Magnificat. If you want to watch a recording of us singing Magnificat follow this link and like us on FB!!

Anyways, that was super awesome. We even got a standing ovation from all of the choral directors! I really feel blessed to get to sing in that amazing choir. Other than that, not a lot has happened. I've hung out with my friends, had my regular Tuesday Temple Trip with Erin and Gideon, and been going to class. Maybe next week will be more exciting!

Fall Leaves & Mexican Food

Fall is so beautiful here! All the leaves are falling and all the trees are absolutely gorgeous. Today, me Shayla and Erin decided that we wanted to make a leaf pile and jump in it like the responsible and mature adults that we are. We didn't have a rake, so we just had to use our hands. It was still so fun though. Me and Erin haven't seen fall in a while, but Shayla is a professional. We got some pretty cute fall leaves pictures, and even shared our leaf pile with some small children. They were so adorable.

Also today, for my Spanish project we have to do some type of cultural activity once a month, so Erin, Gideon and I went to a Mexican restaurant off campus. It was pretty good! Erin was really excited that they had caffeine. (On campus caffeine is non-existent)

The Homecoming Game

Okay, so yesterday before the homecoming game I went to a research lab and let some lady run tests on my brain for some experiment. Don't worry, it's totally safe and I'm getting some credit towards my Psych major for it, but I looked pretty dang awesome in my head wrap.

To get all the sensors to work right they had to get them wet first, so I sort of had an unexpected shower. Leaving the building I saw one of the BYU cheerleaders, so I had to stop and take a wet hair cheer leader selfie.

Then the real fun began! My friends Spencer and Shayla had basically been camping out getting a really good seat for the Homecoming football game, and then when I got there they said I could sit with them! It was awesome! We got to meet two of the football players, one of them is the linebacker and the other one was after the game, and we have no clue who he is. But we know he played and that he's super tall! We were on about the 3rd row of the ROC section and were around the 20 yard line. It was awesome! The game was super intense too. It went into double overtime, and we won! After we won everyone stormed the field. It was so crazy.

We're pretty sure this guy is literally two feet taller than both of us

I'm Awk

So, as per usual Spencer and I left Biology and decided that in lou of doing homework, we would go eat. So we went and got some Taco Bell, and then scoured the Cougar Eat looking for somewhere to sit.. we eventually stole some guys table by swooping in the second he stood up. Anyways, there we were casually enjoying our tacos, when lo and behold, James from Studio C comes walking. He went up to the table next to us that had a girl sitting at it, and tried to get her attention to ask if he could sit with her, but she was plugged into her phone and wasn't noticing so I was all like, you can come sit with us!! SO HE DID. It was awesome! I was so awkward for the first couple minutes. I was like I'm Courtney, I feel like I should ask your name even though I already know who you are. Anyways.. I'm awkward. So sorry lol. But we got to just sit and talk to him for like 45 minutes, and he was so cool! Actual blessings. I even told him my skit idea for Studio C, in that they should make a skit based on the southern mentality of the phrase "Bless Your Heart" where you can say anything you want about a person as long as you precede it with that, and he said that they literally filmed that skit a couple weeks ago and that it hasn't gone live yet. I feel so legit.

In other news, I got a bunch of pictures off of Shutterfly and used them to decorate my room. It's nice to have some pictures of my family and friends up on the wall.
