This is surely the department for us...

The Comms department sent out an email to all of the Comms students today concerning lost and found items. I hope you enjoy it as much as me and Hallie did. It really shows how special both the Comms students and administrators are.

Dear Comms students,

We have a few things in our office that we will turn into the WILK if they are not claimed. Here is a brief list of what we have:

1. A Wrist Watch (if you can tell us the brand, and describe what it looks like, it’s yours. It’s a nice watch, otherwise I’d tell you more about it – Found during the Summer, I think)

2. Two small keys that look like they belong to a small bike lock or something of that nature. They are connected to a bracelet with a rhinestone “CTR” on it (Found over the summer—a while ago).

3. Beaded lady bug coin purse (if you can tell us what’s inside, we’ll know it’s yours – found 10/5)

4. Bus Pass (tell us your name, and if it matches the bus pass we found, it’s yours. – found 12/7)

Due to the monetary value of some items, PLEASE be honest in coming to look for your items.

Thanks.

Absurd!!

Even though this is the busiest 2 weeks of school and I'm completely freaking out, I still took the time to complete the 122 question sorting hat quiz that Hallie sent to me. This is what we do at school. AND I GOT SLYTHERIN.

What is this???? In fact, I was the most compatible with the worst houses! I was 31/100 Gryffindor, 52/100 Ravenclaw, 62/100 Hufflepuff, and 63/100 Slytherin!

I'm evil!

The sorting hat says that I belong in Slytherin!

Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those whose ancestry is purest."

Slytherin students are typically cunning and hungry for power. Important members include Draco Malfoy (Harry's nemesis), Professor Severus Snape (head of Slytherin), and Lord Voldemort.

Take the most scientific Harry Potter
Quiz ever created.

Some slight personal boasting, feel free to skip:

This weekend I officially broke my record (4 in 4) with 5 dates in 3 days, baby! I didn't have to feed myself a single meal from lunch Thursday to dinner Sunday, including breakfasts! It was awesome! Nothing too serious with anyone obviously, but it was just a lot of fun, a really good weekend. I love this dating thing! I feel like it's really helped me realize that I can get along with just about anyone and be a lot more comfortable with people and have a ton of fun. I love meeting new people and I've gone out with some of the coolest guys. I've gone on dozens of dates this semester, but I have yet to go out on a bad date! BYU is awesome, so many great (and freaking good looking!) people, and being off campus is amazing.

In the spirit of thanksgiving, I am SO grateful that I get to go to BYU. This semester has been probably the most fun time of my life. I had this fantasy of BYU life since Rob first came to college here when I was 5, but when I came here I found that my BYU life wasn't quite what I had imagined for the past 12 years. Honestly, the problem was probably at least 85% myself. But this is the first semester where I finally understand why BYU is SO great. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I love the people here, I love being around good LDS kids, I love learning about people, I love getting to know people, I love learning about people and myself, I love growing, and I love going to school and learning. I'm sad that the semester is ending, it's been one of the happiest times of my life, but I am very excited for next semester. Thanks so much, Mom and Dad for letting me be here!

Typing rant over, back to homework.

Mom wants me to post my pictures from NY but I really don't have many. In fact, I have none with Rachel & her crew. :) Sorry. But I do have pictures of our great-grandparents houses and grandma and grandpa. So here's a little sampling of what I took. Sorry if it's boring. I'll put them in order of interesting-ness, so you can bail early if you want.

Jeff with a nice outfit. The knickers alone cost $900.

Mom with the bittersweet wreath we picked.

The house grammy lived in when she was a little girl. Her dad tended the farm across the way.

Was this granddaddy's parent's house? I can't remember now.

Grandpa and Grandma waving goodbye. See them up there all tiny?

Hooray, you made it through the pictures! Here is a prize shot for you of mom and dad on the very exciting plane ride:

Rebekah, 1; Landlord, 0

We call our landlord all the time to come and fix things that break in our apartment, like when our blinds crashed to the floor randomly one night. Anyway, we figure it's getting tedious for him, so I decided to mix things up a little when I emailed him today about our lights.

Hey Lance,

Yesterday the fluorescent light went out in our kitchen. Both of the bulbs went out at once so we're not sure if it's the bulbs or the whole fixture. Anyway, it would be great if you could come soon to fix it.

It is dark and I'm scared.

Thanks,

Rebekah

What's new here?

P.S. It will wash out in 28 washes or so...I'm not that daring :)

I hope you think this is as hilarious as I think it is...

So I have a goal of trying to post more often this year, given that I have at least marginally interesting things to post about--which is a pretty big risk.

I'm back in school. School's fine. My apartment's fine. My roommates are fine. My ward is fine. That's about all there is to say there. Let's see....

School: I have class from 9-4 MW, no class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and one class on Friday. Pretty good, right? They're all general eds and pretty boring. Except my graphic design class, which should be cool but I'm a little nervous about. The graphic design majors in that class are all pretty snooty. I don't know how Rob made it through BYU's art program and retain his sanity.

Apartment: It's okay. Fairly roomy, some furniture is nice, others are pretty crappy. The paint on the walls is pretty chipped, but it's really not that bad.

Roommates: I'm in a room with my freshman roommate Hallie, then there are two other girls that she knew-Morgan and Angela. They both seem nice.

Ward: I've been to two activities and not a sunday, but they all seem fairly normal. Not much to say there!

Anyway, here's a picture from the summer of Matt and Jake launching the boat.
