9:30 am: economics 110 - economics + public policy 

#1 most failed class at byu. yikes. i really like economics, but boy am i scared. the tests are multiple choice, options a thru k. and it's economics. my teacher has an infamous reputation at byu, but i like him. i know he's a stickler, but he also seems genuinely excited to teach, and for us to learn.

that was pretty much the extent of my day. ha. comical. i only have that one class on tuesday and thursday. but i was slightly productive in studying, talking to family, and standing in bookstore lines.

i just have to keep reminding myself that i am excited. excited to be learning + moving forward + for a recently engaged friend from high school + to just be american. grateful for storms, because it turns the atmosphere pleasantly warm right before a big one hits. 

today, would have taken a picture of: 

• two adjacent trash cans, one overflowing, one empty. 
  
• being shooed away from a film shoot.
  
• thousands of students lined up to devour ice cream sundaes for karl's birthday. 
  
• the miraculous pair of mittens i found in the box labeled grandma's gloves + purses. among gold + gaudy handbags + opera glasses, were the marvel of brown yarn, complexly knitted, double {phospholipid} bilayer that keep my hands on fire.
