First Day Of School

Well yesterday was my first day of school. I was a little nervous about it since I haven't gone full time to school in 1 1/2 years. Yikes! Of course, Belnap adventures ensued.

My first class was at the Ricks building which is all the way on the other side of the campus!



I had to switch off riding and walking every other block. Yeah, I'm pretty much out of shape. Good thing I have a fitness class that will require me to work out. I was 1 minute late but the teacher didn't care or if he did, he didn't show it.

He then began to explain his policies and such. I admit that my mind started to wander and I realized that I forgot my calculator for chemistry! I had lab that day as well and I was worrying that my teacher might mark off points for forgetting. Chemistry teachers can be like that but I would soon find out that he wasn't one of those teachers.

As soon as class was over I hopped back on my bike and tried to get to my Chemistry building. but since there is so much construction, I had a difficult time finding a way through. I ended up having to take this route:


Yes there is a shorter way but obviously I didn't see it. I also kindly game some guy a flat tire with my bike tire because I was following his so closely. Ooops. I said sorry probably 20 times and he said it was okay but I don't think he meant it. I could tell he was pretty pissed. My next class was English but I really needed to print off stuff for Chemistry so I purposely was late to print off some papers but non-purposely lost my way in the wrong building. I was about 15 minutes late but he didn't seen to care either. He probably thought I was a freshman...diss.

Next was uneventful. Chemistry class. Library to study. Home to eat. Back to chemistry for lab. Back home to get laptop. Back to library to study until 6:00. Back home.

I feel like I biked a marathon and throughout the whole school experience, I lost my cell phone. Thankfully it was somewhere at BYU-I so I knew I would get it back soon. Time to shine ye faithful BYU-I students.

What a fun and crazy day! I loved feeling like a student and riding my bike everywhere like I was an environmentalist even though I had a car. I guess Tyler had an eventful day as well because as soon as I was able to talk to him, he told me of his experience where he saw some motorcyclist get hit by a car and fly into a trash can. He was wearing a helmet and was okay except his shoes flew off and were pretty scratched up.
What's ironic is that just the other day, I was talking to Tyler about how a lot of people at BYU-I ride bikes but I never see anyone with a helmet and I was feeling like the only person who did. I don't want my brains on the cement form getting hit from a fat lady in her car who is not paying attention. So to all the students and anyone who rides a bike or motorcycle: wear a helmet!
