Apathy

As a short in-class exercise, we wrote sensory poems in my writing class.  Everyone had to choose an abstract noun and describe it using the "five senses."

Apathy is a sort of off-white color; nothing too offensive, it goes with pretty much anything.

It smells old.  Not a bad smell, but not pleasant either.

It feels comfortable.  It feels nice enough that one can overlook its negative connotations.

It sounds like a long, hesitant groan.

Apathy has no flavor.

Confrontation

David and I prepared this for our ward's talent show tonight... I think it went over pretty well!  (Please forgive the wardrobe malfunction at the end.)  Thanks to Bethany for filming it.

Other blog is finished

So remember a few months ago when I mentioned I'd started a new blog as one of the requirements of a class I took? When I posted that, the other blog was brand new with only one post. Now that the class is over, I won't be adding anything to it; however, I wanted to mention it again here because now there are lots of interesting things to read!  Some of the posts are good, others maybe not so much.  But I think the quality improved as the semester wore on.

The class I took was 'Humanities of Latin America: Achievements of Latin American culture regarding art, philosophy, literature, and music from the pre-Columbian era to the present.' It's one of the best classes I've taken at BYU (in the top 3, for sure).
