college #4

Since the last post a lot of great new things have been happening:


First (and perhaps most important) Alex bought the original 007 for N64:
On Friday night, we went over to visit our friends from wyview (who have a mush more spacious apartment, and a much better couch) and to watch School of Rock:
When we returned, we discovered that our small and insignificant couch had gone missing:

We then realized how much we love our couch, even if it is really small.

The next morning we were invited back to the Wyview apartment (did I say they have an awesome couch?) for a breakfast of french toast and wonderful buttermilk syrup before the football game. The buttermilk was a little alive.

Then we went to what some people called a football game, I'd say it was just a session of humiliation for poor UCLA. 59-0 is a really depressing score (for them).

I think it's great that everyone in the entire stadium shoots their hands up whenever a touchdown is scored.

Even better than the hands were the cheers:

We were all pretty exhausted after the game. This picture is especically funny after something that had happeded the previous night.

When we finally made it home, we made spaghetti to share with one of the other apartments in our ward. (But I forgot to take any pictures...)



Next on the agenda was the big freshman dance party for the beginning of the year, which involved a lot of preperation.
So we danced until we were all exhausted, then came home and ate ice-cream in our still couch-less kitchen.

College #3

This week so far has been a pretty crazy one with a lot of fun things to do.

We started out with church on Sunday:

Where we got to hear from 4 general authorities.

Monday afternoon, we discovered that our 7th roommate, Angel, was no longer in our kitchen.

Upon further investigation, we saw that he had been stolen by a room in the building opposite ours, F. Smith. Not standing for this, our honorary roommate, Jake Loveland, was able to sneak in and make off with our beloved cut-out.

The next morning, we were pleased to find this over our window:

Thankfully, by this time we had already devised a plan that was better than revenge.

We began with this:

And later that afternoon, unveiled our 2 newest roommates:

The other apartment came over and complimented our response, and we realized that they aren't little thieving punks, but they're actually cool people (who happen to also be in our fhe group).

That evening was the Mariachi meeting, and on the way, we found ANOTHER new roommate.

We realized that he was maybe a little too messy, so we left him outside and went to our ward opening bbq.

They were just posing BUT...

Jacob actually had a GREAT time. (cause he deserved it)

After having our fill, we headed over to the wonderful Wyview apartment of Jessica, Rachel and Amy. We tried and failed several times to record a answering message for their phone, so we eventually pulled out the instruction manual:

Which was no help at all.

We eventually figured it out, and recorded the coolest message you will ever hear on an answering machine. I'd post the number for you to call and listen to it, but I don't think the residents would appreciate that.

College #2

The first week of college has been pretty great, a lot of new exciting things have happened, and a few boring classes have also happened.

Last week on Friday, me and the roommates decided to make something real for breakfast. So, We invited some people over (If we're actually going to work to make food, we might as well share it).

Maybe some other people were a little scared of us for something, but Rachel, Amy and Jessica were the only ones that showed up. (More waffles for us)

Jacob Likes to have a clean Kitchen:

Later that day I got to drive all the way back to boise for My sister's wedding reception the next day. It was a long drive, but the sunset was really cool:

When we got back, I played a little frisbee for Labor day and we had a little ward Ice-cream party thing where I met a few people I hadn't the day before (since I was in Boise when church happened)

Class finally started, and I discovered that I know someone in every single one of my classes except one. Auditions for the Jazz Band were on wednesday, and I found out Thursday that I made it as the 4th trumpet into the BYU Jazz Ensemble.

But that's no big deal, because I found out on Friday that I may also be able to be part of BYU's own Mariachi band!

Unfortunately, even though a well-kept moustache is allowed at BYU, I don't know if my face will allow it.
