Just call me Piet

This weekend I became an artist- I painted a painting for my bathroom.
It all started because I had this shower curtain that was white and black, and both yellow and blue towels and I felt that I needed something to tie it all together.
I started by coloring a few of the white circles on the shower curtain yellow, but that took too long. Markers are small! So I thought bigger. And that led me to a painting I loved from ArtH 202 a year ago. An altered version of it was going to be just what I needed! So, I bought canvas, paint and those cheap sponge brushes and designed my work in the neo-plasticism style of Piet Mondrian's Tableau 2.
And then I took the paint to the shower curtain (much faster). :) I had a lot of fun, and didn't even get the paint too many places that it isn't supposed to be! But I am still waiting for the blue to come off my toe :)

Honorable mention for this blog goes to the football team. There has yet to be a point scored against BYU during their past two games! Woohoo! They are so awesome!

As a very random side note, I would also like to mention that I apologize for the obnoxiously gigantic picture of myself that has been at the top of my blog for such a long time now. "How conceited is this girl?" you are wondering. The truth of the matter is I couldn't figure out how to make it so much smaller the way I wanted, and so I got frustrated and gave up and have been ignoring it ever since. Please try to do the same until I find the time and patience to fix the problem. Cheers!

I suddenly love football

Dear readers,
I am writing to inform you that I went to the BYU vs. UCLA football game today, and I loved it! As someone who previously has had a very hard time sitting through an entire game, this comes as a small surprise. My throat hurts from screaming, and my hands were sore from clapping. I would just like to say that admiring the skill with which people beat each other up in a civilized way is thrilling. I mean, at the beginning of the game there was this amazing tackle, and another time one guy vaulted himself over the man that was running at him. It was crazy! The point is that this is the first time I have owned an all-sports pass, and I am loving it! I had excellent, twelfth-row seats today and I heard that they aren't rotating the seating this year! (And btw, I was so glad when the guy in front of me finally took off his huge gardening hat. It was totally blocking the view.) An added perk is that we are in the corner next to the portal through which the players run onto the field! Mmmm yeah :) Ha ha ha! Life rocks.

Major #4 or #5, I've lost track.

Yes, its true. I've done it again! I changed my major. I understand that these changes are so frequent its getting a bit ridiculous, but the change was necessary. I left the elementary education program and am now a business management pre-major. I have some classes I have to take before I can apply, but hopefully I will be in the program by spring term, so that way I will not be as behind in my efforts to graduate on time.
After starting off here at the Y as a Physiology and Developmental Biology major I've switched to education, to accounting, to the Elementary Ed and Early Childhood Education program and now to business. Its been a lot of work!! And just so you know, I'm not making any guarantees that this one is going to stick. Maybe I have commitment issues :-) But seriously, I am almost nervous to post this, because I realize how flighty all of these changes make me seem. But all I can say is that it is what it is :)
So good thing I enjoy going to school, because I'm going to be around for a bit longer, especially if I take a break and leave on a mission this summer. But who knows if I will ever be able to make a decision and stick to it on that one! Ha ha ha :) So, come 2011, look for me on campus, because I might still be here!
