ice caves.

I went on an adventure!

Just a few minutes away from this lovely town called Rexburg there are ICE CAVES.

Caves. Full of ice. It's cold and exciting.

You get to slide around and your bum and knees get really wet and cold and it's so fun!

The whole time I felt like I was in one of those Mario Party mini-games where you're a penguin and you have to slide on the ice and catch fish and stuff.

I had a lovely time with lovely people.

science.

Science is probably my worst subject, but I'm in an Energy in the 21st Century science class this semester and it's all kinds of fun. I'm a Marriage and Family Studies major and the class is full of Mechanical Engineering and Physics majors.

So naturally, the class is nice and nerdy and hilarious a lot of the time.

We like to make jokes about 100% efficient systems (utterly impossible) and nuclear energy (let's use nuclear energy for everything and have bombs rolling around everywhere!) and cats made of antimatter (because who doesn't want to completely obliterate a furry animal?).

We also play with liquid nitrogen a lot. (Did you know that when you stick your hand in liquid nitrogen really fast, it won't freeze because the heat from your hand makes it boil and all those bubbles make a pocket of air around your hand. Science is cool!)

And when we discuss how a car would get better gas mileage on the moon we can't ignore the fact that a car wouldn't be able to go anywhere on the moon because there's not enough oxygen to ignite the fuel (bahahaha)!

Science class is basically entertainment central. But what I really love is how a lot of these science major people are truly passionate about this stuff and it makes them happy! Their passion for science makes me happy. And I get a good laugh every once in a while, so that's an added bonus.

football.

BYU-Idaho is awesome. Did you know we have the largest intramural sports program in the country? Well, we do! Wanna know why? Because we don't have any "real" sports. It's great fun!

And you better believe that one of the many intramural sports offered here is football! But since we don't play against any other schools, the intramural teams play against each other. With team names like "Falcons" and "Spartans" because that makes perfect sense.

These football teams play in our nice big stadium, of course, and they even have commentators! I live right across the street from the stadium and had the pleasure of hearing all the excitement of the games from those commentators last weekend. (Is commentating an intramural sport, too? I honestly don't know. But I wouldn't be surprised. Who else would do it?)

I couldn't help but crack up every time I heard them get so excited about certain plays. And this went on all day because there had to be more than one game because we have like 6 football teams.

I really love this school!

national free cookie day.

Yesterday I was waiting in line at the Copy Spot on campus to pay for some copies.

A couple of girls walked in with a box of cookies claiming it was National Free Cookie Day. They offered a cookie to everyone and then went on their way.

It wasn't really National Free Cookie Day yesterday. That day doesn't even exist! (I Googled it.)

Maybe those girls were just trying to get rid of some cookies or maybe they had planned to go around giving out free cookies that day. Either way, it made me happy. I love cookies! And I love people!
