For once, I actually have a lot to report from the last two weeks or so.

Last Monday I was in the “spotlight” at FHE. They do this thing where one person gets up at the beginning of FHE and tells everyone else about him or herself. As part of the deal you get to pick someone to go the next week when you are done. As no one knew me, I got picked pretty much right off the bat. It wasn’t that big of a deal for me, I just talked about Idaho and joining the church, CBC and getting the heck done with school. Then they asked questions and it was my turn to pick someone new. That was certainly the hardest part, especially since I really knew no one at that point.

Today, as with many other days, I wore my BYU-Idaho sweatshirt to Cal State Fullerton. I literally wear the thing practically everyday, and have never that I can remember had one comment about it. (One girl at In-N-Out asked what ward I was in once, but that wasn’t at CSUF). Today, I got two within one minute of each other! Ashley, a girl in my leadership class who reminds me of Nicole Grondin for some reason, always sits at the front of class. Except today there was already someone sitting in her spot, so she ended up in the back in the same row as me. She saw the sweatshirt on her way back and asked, “Are you LDS?” Confused at first, I stumbled and said, “What?” She repeated and I answered yes. It turns out she is too.

Well, not more than one minute later, our teacher walks back and asks me if I went to BYU-Idaho. He tells me his wife’s family was somehow involved with Ricks College – and that was her maiden name! At this point I was just way confused. I hadn’t expected Ashley, to surprise me like that, and I never in my imagination could have expected my teacher to be married to someone involved with early BYU-Idaho! I think I spent the entire class just trying to sort out my thoughts.

I’m sure there is more, but I am practically falling asleep typing, so I think it is time to call it a night.
