Any Thoughts?....

Most of my professors are awesome. One however, struggles a little bit.

First, he was not supposed to teach our class. He kinda got roped into it. We'll cut him some slack for that.
Second of all, he is completely monotone. And he likes to pronounce Monday as Mondeee and Tuesday and Tuesdee and so on. Normally, this probably wouldn't bug me. But it is a Foundations of Literacy class. So we should be pronouncing words correctly.

He does an I Clicker Quiz to entice *eh hem force us to come to class on time. He does one right at the beginning of class so if your one minute late you don't get credit (this is at 9AM mind you), in the middle of class, and the end of class. Paranoid much? Oh. And if you miss more than one day, you drop a letter grade. (is that even legal?!?)

These kind of things create enemies. Even among the most loving, tender hearted Elementary Education girls. (oh and two boys)

But the worst of all is this: during his dry, monotonous lectures that put us into comas, after every slide he asks "Any Thoughts?"

                          *****************Insert Long Awkward Silence***********************

Nobody ever has thoughts. Then he'll say "I'm modeling wait time." Wait more, and then move on.
Bless his little heart.

Only at BYU...

Okay. Call me a nerd. I don't care. 
Last night a group of us met in an apartment after ward prayer and just read scriptures together. 
We went around the room and read the Book of Mormon and just had a great gospel discussion for hours!
It was wonderful. I loved it. I am a fan. Everyone had such good insights, and I learned and realized things that I have never noticed before. It was awesome :)
The Gospel is true. 
The Book of Mormon is true. 
One other thing I thought of was just how true the Book of Mormon was. 
I mean....could college students sit around and make sense of and learn things and make connections, take apart, and learn life lessons from a book that was just made up by some crazy guy? No. 
I know Joseph Smith is a prophet of the Restoration and he restored the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
