Somebody Better Step it Up

So far this week--

I used Spanish conjugations on my French quiz (ha. just in case you were wondering, it doesn't work)
I tried to interpret a poem in Humanities without reading it (curse you Keats...)
I have not done a single bit of reading for my Greek and Roman mythology class...and there's a whole lot of it (I missed the reading on Hades, too...does that mean I'm going there, academically speaking?)
I missed the whole point of the devotional because my mind was wandering the entire time (It was about Hawaii...and apparently leprosy...don't ask...)
And I was late to class this morning.
And it took me way too long to do my homework because I couldn't concentrate.
And I gave up on my reading for American humanities.

Somebody better step it up.

I've Got It!

I've been in a quandary of what to do because of a certain event that occurred this past week.

But, thanks to my cousin Megan, I now have a solution.

There's only one problem.

I don't think the mustache fits BYU's Honor Code.

Things a Professor Should Never Say

Yesterday in one of my humanities class my professor was reading through the roll. At BYU, each student's picture from their student ID is printed on the roll to help them identify the students.

He got to my name and read it. I raised my hand and smiled. He then looked at my picture, jerked his head up back towards me and looked shocked. It was slightly uncomfortable.

And then, with the entire class listening, he said, "You've matured."

He really said that.

I know sometimes I look like I'm still in high school.
I know my student ID picture wasn't taken on my most attractive day.
But seriously?!

The floor could have eaten me up and I would not have minded.

Of course, the entire class burst out laughing. I tried to defend myself, saying that perhaps it was because my hair is darker, but it was too late. I am forever doomed for the rest of the semester. I think I can forgive my professor, but I'm not sure yet. It may take some time.

Or I could just wear a disguise to class from now on.

Serendipity

The Oxford English dictionary describes serendipity as "the faculty of making happy and unexpected discoveries by accident. Also, the fact or an instance of such a discovery."
