Above and beyond.

So I just finished editing my Joseph Smith paper with about 3 hours to spare before it's due.  And I ended up writing more than the minimum requirement and used more than the minimum number of sources.  Crazy.  Don't expect that to happen again any time soon.  There's just so much good stuff on Joseph Smith!  It's hard to not write a lot.  In celebration of the completion of that paper and in the spirit of procrastination for another writing assignment that is due tomorrow, I am now going to blog.  Ha.

1.  PB&Js.  Delicious.  I probably ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch for at least 50% of my K-12 school career.  My dad's PB&Js cannot be beat.  However, even now when I manage to make one for myself, I realize how good they really are.  And I'm not even close to making them as good as my dad's.  I usually end up with too much peanut butter and not enough jelly.  In honor of this simply delicious sandwich, here are a few facts from dear old Wikipedia:

• In Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, they are called peanut butter and jam sandwiches
• Sometimes people eat PB&Js open-faced.  (Strange.)
• A 2002 survey showed the average American will have eaten 1,500 of these sandwiches before graduating from high school. 

P.S. Chunky peanut better is the best.

2.  Utah bread.  Utah has the BEST bread.  Yes, this could be due to the fact that we end up buying cheap bread in California.  However, my Grandma Ostler who lives in Utah always has the best bread.  Luckily she has converted me to buying delicious, seemingly home-baked bread from the grocery store.

3.  One Monday a few weeks ago, I grabbed the Daily Universe (as I do every day) and looked at the top story on the front cover.  Because it was the first Daily Universe since a basketball victory the previous Saturday, the top story was about basketball.  The headline was something about Charles Abouo having a great game, yet the picture accompanying the article was still of Jimmer. Good one.

4.  I'm currently taking an Introductory Astronomy class.  A component of this class was being able to identify a list of prominent constellations, stars, etc.  I did in fact pass the quiz.  The only problem is now when I walk home when it's dark, I can't help staring at the sky and trying to identify the stars and constellations I learned.  This is very dangerous considering it means that I fail to look where I'm going.  The other night I almost ran right into this girl running in the opposite direction.  It could have been bad.

5.  If you ever want to take two religion classes at the same time, take Doctrine and Teachings of Joseph Smith and one of the halves of Doctrine and Covenants.  They complement each other so nicely.  Questions in one class are answered in another.  It's great. 

Five is far more than enough.  See ya.
