So the results of my pole are in....drum role please.....
Europe-2
Saint Johns-4
ASU-5
BYU-6
I have to say I was really rooting for Europe, but alas BYU won and so this will be next years destination. I know this probably isn't the sanest way to decide ones future, but I've never been one for sanity.
So come August I will be packing up and leaving the sunny splendor of Arizona and entering the dark dismal abyss of Utah.
Two years of soul sucking is going to go by fast....right?

Lora vs. High Altitude
This last week was spring break and I was bound and determined to exercise even if it meant doing it without Enrique (my Spanish elliptical trainer). So I got up Monday morning and decided I would run an hour for optimal weight loss. I started down the block and every thing was going fine and then came the pain......
15 minutes into the run and my lungs felt like they were on fire and I started wheezing hard core. I immediately redirected my run to the fastest route home. I barely dragged my body up the driveway and crawled to the middle of the family room. It was here that I was overcome with hot flashes and couldn't get my swish swish pants off fast enough (to ease your mind I was wearing shorts underneath). Then came the strong need to rid my stomach of all its contents thank goodness it was a false alarm. After the stomach debacle my poor heart was beating as fast as a hummingbirds (nice metaphor huh, I guess English class is paying off). And after 10 minutes of intense breathing exercises I was finally able to get up and grab some crackers and a pillow and then get some well deserved rest.
It was in this position, passed out with my pants lying next to me, that mom found me.
Pathetic right.
Mom deduced that high altitude was the culprit and I deduced that I would never run ever ever again…..and then I baked cookies.
I’m starting to think I need to embrace the college weight instead of making it feel like that annoying smelly person that won't stop following you around.

Heckling, Good or Bad?
In my physics class there are six tables with four people seated around each of them. Each table has a distinguishing quality about it. One is made up of the football players who stumble in 20 minutes late with a hangover and immediately fall asleep. Another is made up of all the smart boys who taunt us with their vast knowledge for everything physics. And my group is made up girls and because of this our classmates assume that we are stupid, shallow, and very ditsy. This misconception is very annoying to me since I am a straight A student.
Anyhoo, yesterday we were doing a lab and our group was the only group who did the lab perfectly. Everybody else had to restart several times because of their inferiority to our marvelous lab skills. Our teacher even came up and gave us a high five and exclaimed to the whole class how wonderful we were. At this opportune moment I took the time to heckle the smart group with sayings like,
“Who’s stupid now, Huh punks!?” (In retrospect this is not a proud moment)
Because of our awesomenosity our group even got to leave early with the glow of victory fresh on our faces.
Well the next class one of the smart boys came and gave us cookies with a bow on top to congratulate us for doing so well……
yah, I felt like the biggest shmutz
…..but even though my head was hung in shame I was still able to consume a good amount of victory cookies.
