The odds are good... ;)

Well...sorry I've sorta been late on the blogging-band-wagon. I'm doing it though so it's all good. For introductions... Hey y'all! I'm a Texas girl, raised in Austin, living in Provo, still missing my Texas:) Real talk- why is it cold already here?!? It's craziness. I don't know how I'm going to survive the winter here...I mean, what is "winter"??? Haha but seriously, I'm ALWAYS cold :P

Anyway, right now, I'm an Electrical Engineering major...yeah I know...weird. But my physics professor summed it up pretty good. When someone in class asked (probably not jokingly either haha) where he could get a date, my professor promptly replied, "Well you know, I've heard from the women that are in Physics and I'm sure in Engineering as well... that the odds are good... but the goods are odd." And...he wasn't joking. I literally go into my physics class and have to sit by a new person every day...and have the same getting-to-know-you conversation. Except, it's worse than usual classes because you're in a class full of engineering/physics/slightly-socially-awkward geniuses. So after that conversation, I literally sit there and wait and see if they will say anything...but they don't...sooo I meet someone else the next day and do the same thing over again. Here it is:

-Hi what's your name?

-Bob

-Cool, I'm Julie. Where are you from?

-California

-Oh that's awesome. That's where my grandparents live. I'm from Austin, Texas.

-Oh that's cool...

[End of conversation]...yep that's the life of a girl in electrical engineering. Don't worry though, I actually have met some pretty cool guys...so girls, just know that the stereotype is pretty true, but don't let it dissuade you. You will have your pick of any guy that you want:) So that's the first awkward part of my life...haha really exciting right? :P

The other awkward story happened when Sadie, Cassidy, and I were coming back from the Divine Comedy Final Callbacks show (shout out to BYU Divine Comedy -------> )
Anyway, on our path back to Tingey, we pass the art garden next to the Museum of Art. We're all talking super loud and laughing about the show when out of the corner of my eye, I see this weird shape next to one of the tall animal sculptures. Sadie saw it at the same and we both do a double take and realize that it's a guy...who looks like he's face forward leaning against the sculpture. We then realize that he's not faced forward to the sculpture, but face-glued to a hidden person somewhere between him and the sculpture. Sadie and I look at each other and struggle not to laugh as we quickly hurry pass them and then burst out laughing, meanwhile Cassidy is looking at us like we're crazy...which we probably are but we're ok with that ;)

So that's my life. I'm living it up here in Provo, Utah and having a great time with my amazingly fabulous roommates... it's also almost 2 in the morning here...haha so goodnight y'all:) Have a great weekend!
