Remember how it's almost May?

Allow me to give you a little insight into my world yesterday:

Hello April 29, 2011. Last day of class for the week, happy Friday, life is good. Enter snow. Como what?! No. No. No. No. This is completely unacceptable. It’s just not right – snow at the end of April? “Do the words cruel and unusual punishment mean anything to you?!”

Plain and simple (in the world according to Lindsey) snowing when it is practically May is just plain wrong. No way around it, it’s just plain wrong. I have never done this whole Spring Semester thing at BYU from the end of April to the middle of June, but I feel like it snowing at the end of April blatantly violates some natural, universal (albeit unwritten) law.

Okay, I know I am totally spoiled having grown up in Southern California my whole life. But, really Utah? Can we try to pull it together and act like it’s Spring? You’re threatening to snow today, but after that I expect nothing but clear skies and smooth sailing. That is not negotiable.

Sincerely,

Lindsey

Long Time Coming

Despite my own resistance to its advances, I acknowledge that technology is amazing and admit that I broke down and got a facebook account a year ago, just got a twitter account and am starting a blog today. However, I have done none of this of my own free will, or at least it has not been of my own design. Allow me to explain.

The Reader’s Digest version of the facebook story is this: one day I asked my madre if I could see somebody’s pictures via her facebook account. She said no and told me I had to get my own account. Thus I now have a facebook.

As for twitter and this blog, I am currently enrolled in my last two undergraduate classes one of which is MCom 320 - a business communication class. This class promises to be entertaining and helpful in my future endeavors, but unfortunately requires each class member to regularly post on a blog and a twitter. Thus this blog and the twitter account.

Technology's amazing but I am weary of some of its advances and at what cost they come at in our lives. Call me Amish but it’s true. For the sake of my MCom 320 grade though I will regularly post on this blog until the middle of June and then all bets are off.

Also, it’s pretty humbling/just plain weird to have parents and grandparents that are more technologically advanced than I am, or at least more involved in the technological world than I. This being said, I am proud to announce that as of right now I am more a part of the 21^st century than any of my elders. Bring it on world.
