Three for Others

So today I felt super sick. It was a combination of a sore throat, stomach ache, head ache and extreme fatigue/malaise. It kinda of felt like mono so I'm really really hoping it's not mono. Today at work my boss tried making a new pizza he put chili, onions, jalapenos and sausage on it. He really wanted me to try it because for some odd reason he values my opinion on tastes. My stomach was hurting me so I didn't want to do it but I succumbed to peer pressure. Now I feel super gross and full of chili. That's a clear win-win. Also I just tried to press the space bar twice to add a period on the end of that sentence like I do on my phone. I feel dumb but it wouldn't be such a bad shortcut for computers either....

School! I'm all registered at the University of Idaho in the world renown town of Moscow. Also because it is a prestigious college town they decided they were too good to pronounce the last letter of Moscow. So the W is silent. I got all my classes scheduled on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday deal so I can just commute down and stay by my bubs. Except one class. Apparently all biology majors have to take "Perspective on Biology" a half semester lecture series worth...a whopping one credit. More interesting though is that the only time they offer this class is Thursday morning. So  I get to drive three hours for a one credit class for the half the semester... I'm so excited. Did I mention it's also pass/fail?

Emily and Kyle are staying this summer so that will be fun. Alex and Alia are due to make an appearance soon so it'll be fun to have the gang all together for a little. Except Alex because he smells like pea soup. Noah is doing  great. He sleeps a lot at night now and will occasionally sleep 4 or 5 hours. He also has very strong legs and can just about support his body weight and can scoot on the ground with some assistance. He turned three months yesterday. I  can't believe he is that old already... I was hoping he would be talking by now but  I guess you can't have everything. Oh and he can't clap either but we'll work on that....He's been very adorable and smiley lately and loves to look at himself in the mirror. I'm not sure where the narcissistic streak came from... Bonnie is doing a great job, she makes it all look easy. She's been very helpful with making sure I get lots of time of Noah even though he's 100% breastfeeding now and can't stay away long from his mother and it takes a little bit more work on her part but I'm very glad things are going smoothly. We had a BBQ last Sunday and the weather was really nice and we sad some delicious shish kabobs. Noah got some fun time outside and got to work on his pasty white complexion.  Well that about wraps things up for what's new in the world of Cameron the Great.

He really likes the Bumbo. Also known as The Iron Throne.

Back in the Saddle

Well I have decided to resurrect my blog, for what purpose I know not, but it will give me something for both me and my stalkers( if any) to do. So things have been different but wonderful since the arrival of the adorable baby named Noah. I guess I will use this as a way to show all the cool new stuff about our lives. I take so many pictures and I can't post them all on facebook so I guess this will have to do. I just hope that I will be diligent in my updates more for my sake than the few people that might actually read this. So enjoy my blog, or don't, it's a free country. But enough of this rambling preamble.

Today I gave Noah a bath which he needs quite frequently because of his habit of vomiting every time I pick him up. I didn't actually give him a bath I took him in the shower with me. Turns out babies can get kinda slippery when they are covered in soap. On the plus side though I didn't drop him and he smells significantly better. His mother Bonnie also got a new car which makes me feel way better because Noah won't be subjugated to riding in a screaming metal death trap. I mean seriously. That car had been wrecked, burned, driving through a lake, slid into snow banks, and was missing a good quarter of its parts to boot. It did serve its purpose surprisingly well but I'm sure Bonnie is as glad to be done with it as I am.

I've been working as a pizza delivery boy for Garlic Jim's. It's decent pay but everyone assumes I am a creep and probably rightfully so. I've also been picking up some hours doing filing work at my dad's office. So I've been fairly busy lately. Work isn't too bad but for once I look forward to getting back to school. The sooner I  graduate the sooner I get my Porsche. Jk I wouldn't get a Porsche. I'd get an Audi R8. not really but anyways I'm going this fall to U of I and see how it goes going between here and Moscow frequently. I know I couldn't take it to be far from Noah for long but CDA is thoroughly lacking in accredited universities. I'll think of better things to write about in the future but I just wanted to get one decent post out there for now. And with that bombshell it's time to go.

Anime Twilight for the win!

@AnimeTwilightgal.

This, friends, is a prime example of immaturity and overall fail

Seriously her name says it all you don't have to even read the comments.

Last night I went to a "Titanic" themed semi-formal dance. Do I need to say how horribly insensitive that is? Or is the Titanic old enough that it's funny when a couple thousand people die. I just only hope the Holocaust will be funny in time for my kids' dances. Overall it was fun though. The residents' association went all out with the decorations they even had an ice swan and hors d'oeuvres. There was also a carriage that looked like Cinderella's and they gave rides on it. Not sure what that has to do with the Titanic. I wouldn't really know I never watched the movie. I'm sure Leonardo is secretly a princess. For part of it they had a group of art majors that would draw caricatures of you. The one who did mine was an RM that had actually served in CDA so that was kind of cool. It was fun but I swear if I hear Celine Dion again I might die.

Finals are coming up. Finals suck, I don't understand how taking a test every two weeks is not enough proof that we learned something. Shouldn't the grade I already have do the trick? But ok, ours is not to reason by, but to do and die. My only hard one will be calculus.

In 1957 President Eisenhower ordered the National Guard to integrate Little Rock High School, the result was the Little Rock 9x+C

My friend Mackayla and I compiled a book of the essays our writing class did. She did most the work but it turned out really nice I'm excited to have it. It's called "Drips of Thought" and the theme is a poem by Shel Silverstein. My essay is about being in the hospital and getting an Ipod, its pretty cheesey but I got an A so....ya.

So if you change your schedule to 28 hour days it will line up with the week, and you can stay awake for twenty hours and still sleep for 8 and get plenty of sleep. They better part is that if you start it at the right time the time you sleep will more or less line up with night, but on the weekends you'll be awake all night. I think I might do this for college since it's more or less what I do anyways.

Nutter Butters are great.

Living in the dorms is rather sucky. Considering how much it costs there aren't a lot of perks. For example the don't clean or resupply over weekends. So all weekend the bathrooms are disgusting and the vending machines are all empty. Also the doors lock from 12 to 6 am. It's really quite frightening, because if you get locked out during December when its 5 degrees outside theres not a whole lot you can do except freeze to death. A few weeks ago our bathrooms flooded and it took days for them to get around to removing the lake from our hallway. Then it smelled horribly.  

They turned the Cannon into a boat

We don't even get trashcans now....

Everything in this letter is true.... I didn't write it, some one posted it on the bathroom door

I drew a volcano! and a spider! I don't get any more artistic than this

My floor has a very refined, mature sense of humor

"Hello There Old Chap"

The title is the only bathroom stall vandalism I've find over all campus. Figures....

I'm publishing a book. Sort of. Mi amiga Mackayla and I are putting together a book of the essays our writing class wrote (Sponsored by the following corporations: BYU Honors Program). Our teacher like our essays and so she let us do this project. I have yet to publish a book in my life before so if anyone has any good helpful hints on how to design things let me know. Should be a fun project.

Today it snowed. I laughed on the inside (and the outside) about the the poor Californians who will soon freeze to death. I'm sure the hospitalization rate just jumped dramatically. Poor saps. Also I have no idea what to be for Halloween. It's killing me.

Every once in a while I'll over read someone's deeply personal text or note because they like to look at those things in class. A funny text that other day was To: Sarah (call don't text) "We need to have a talk. Not like a friend talk but like the talk". I guess one is its bad enough that Sarah is getting texted and not called, and two that they're having a talk. I wonder what she did....

My math professor, who insists we call him Coach, has a very particular expertise that he researches as a professor. Soap bubbles. Yes, he spends his spare time analyzing the mathematics of soap bubbles. Thats honestly what he does with his life. Yet he still wonders why no one wants to be a math major....

There's a daycare place I pass on the way to class. One day there were 6 of the exact same minivans all in a row. It was epic. There's also a suburban that has a sticker and a license plate that says "Twilight" so I figure the only  person who could get a Utah plate saying "Twilight" and not "Tw1light" or "Twlght" is Stephanie Meyer. It's gotta be her....

Yesterday I opened up someone's combination-lock mailbox by guessing. I don't know the probability of doing that but it's really really big. Suck that universe.

I'm pretty sure there is a secret dungeon/catacomb beneath the cannon. There are lots of hidden entryways into underground passageways of concrete. One of them, if you look just right, late at night, there's a light barely glowing far away. It's probably where they do sacrifices.

Ya.......

The same car we used to have. I miss that piece of crap

It was all an innocent hydrogen filled balloon fight until someone decided to light up. Also the only reason I stay awake in PS100

8 hours 14 miles and 12,00 feet later...

Yesterday I got a call when I woke up at noon and it was from my sister Emily. She said "Hey do you wanna hike timp?" "Uh....when?" "Like 2:30" "Uh..... you know that takes all day right?" "We'll bring flashlights." So that's how I got dragged into this insanity. So we ended up started at like 3:30. It was sunny and warm and generally pleasant.  Spirits were high and the hike was going well. We kept getting conflicting reports about how long it was to the summit. So we didn't really know what to expect. Well long story short it ended up taking A LOT longer than we though. We got to this one point were there were tons of rocks and we all rolled our ankles and it was jolly fun. We saw some mountain goats. I hate those things. Well we got to the top right after the sun went down so it was still really gorgeous albeit very very windy. I wish I had a real camera so you could tell. But it was really fun. Then when we walked down it was really cool because it was dark and we used the moonlight for most the time except were we went over the rocks again that kinda sucked. it was all fun until about hour 2.5 of the ascent. We thought we'd be done by then and everything looked unfamiliar so we got a little worried for a bit but we eventually got to the bottom. It was very tiring and Emily almost rolled off a cliff once but I saved her. I couldn't walk after that but it was an "experience" and if anything my legs are slightly stronger.

The Pass

Funny thing; 65% of Antropology majors become professors. That means a majority of the people who learn the subject just go on to teach more people about it who will only go on to teach other people. It's a vicious circle.

Last Saturday my Honors Writing class had lunch at my teachers house, Rebecca Clarke, and she gave us a tour of her house. It was very interesting. One of the rooms was originally a log cabin built in 1867, she said it's the second oldest standing building in the area. Living in the house was like a puzzle, they kept discovering secrets like rooms that were buried underground and windows and doors that had been covered and lots of old tools hidden in the dirt. It was a very cool house.

This rock says "In Provo We Trust 1899' They found it when remodeling their house

This was a pond where a two year old died almost a century ago

I caught a snake!

Their walls had 7 layers of different wallpaper

And they have a half-pipe

Bought my first real six string, bought it at the five and dime....

I bought a guitar! It's a Fender and it was only $100. I'm pretty excited. Hopefully I don't suck at this whole guitar playing thing. I realized a have a lot of down time. There's only so much you can do when you only have two dvd's and a couple computer games for entertainment. Plus chicks dig guys who can play guitar it turns out. I tried to get some piano music today at the bookstore but their selection sucked. So we'll have to wait on that. I also figured out I'm pretty talented at riding-a-bike-one-handed-whilst-holding-a-guitar. It's hard than it looks....

Man's search for a brain

So today a girl randomly walked by me in the cafeteria and said "I like your jeans." So thank you Emily for picking them out. The funny thing was I got dressed in the dark this morning. So chance worked out in my favor. I basically wanna punch the people in my physical science class. Today some one said "How did [Millikan] know the charge?" Professor; "He measured it." Student: "With his eyes?" Yes. He measured an electrical charge of  1.69x10^-19 with his eyes. Hooray for common sense. On the brighter side my bike is extremely fast and alone today saved me 40 minutes of walking and eating breakfast from a vending machine.

My wheels

A quote I overheard:
"You've never walked this way?!? Oh man! you're in for a treat! You'll never walk the old way again."
