I know it's been a while, and I tried writing a few days ago but when I went to post it disappeared! So I just gave up. And I was mad cause it was a good one too! And I don't remember everything I wrote so I'll write what I do remember I guess...
The Y Awards were great, and Bryan Kehl did come! Oh, and he was sitting in the row right in front of me and my dad! I think I almost fell over in my chair when I saw him standing there...and of course I was just staring at him throughout the whole show. And he did win the Spirit of Sport award! His speech really stole the whole show. He started out by thanking his "wife", but pretty much everybody knew he wasn't married so we all laughed...then he said if he starts thanking her in public then maybe she'll stop hiding. Right then I wanted to jump up and scream, "It's me! It's me!"--but somehow I managed to have a little self-control. I wish I would have though! He then thanked Jonathan Tavernari-who was dressed in an all-white tuxedo-for dressing for the wedding! Then the cameras showed Tavernari and he looked so embarrassed! It was the best!
Speaking of which, Tavernari won the male crowd-pleaser! I was so happy because NO ONE deserves that award like JT does, no one can bring a crowd to their feet so fast. His speech was cute, at some points it looked like he was going to cry! But he looked really good in that tux--and he would be the only one to wear it, too. The football team won "team of the year", and of course Bryan Kehl was the first to stand up and walk up to the stage. I didn't think anyone else would, but finally they got the courage I guess. Harvey Unga, football running back, won newcomer of the year. I'm really glad he won as well, and his speech was really long because he said he might not get another chance so he had to take his time! Also, Dave Rose, men's basketball coach, won the highest honor of the night. It is given to whomever impacts sports in Utah the most for that year. It was a pretty big deal, and I was really happy! Next year though--men's basketball will win team of the year for sure!
The entertainment of the night was John Bytheway, and I always love listening to him. He was pretty good for a religion teacher! He did this one thing where he had his 10-year-old son come out and he named two players and his son would name another player that the previous two are equal to. For example: Matt Allen(10)+Sam Burgess(20)=Lee Cummard(30)! It was so funny because me and my friend Michelle do that kind of thing all the time! Instead of saying a number we'll just name a player, and we both always know what the other is talking about! I could have so showed up that little boy. It was a really fun time.
Last Saturday, I took the ACT for the 4th(yes, 4th) time. It's not like my other scores have been bad, it's just that I want all the practice I can get, because my ultimate goal is to get a 30. I also am really OCD when it comes to filling in bubbles and I need to get used to the time limits and everything. My last score was only 3 points off of my goal, so as long as I improve then I'm good--I still can take it at least 2 more times. And also, left-handers are treated like outcasts when it comes to the ACT! Seriously, I go in and they assign me to this corner desk all by myself so I won't "cheat". Everyone else can sit wherever they want, but I sure can't because I'm a cheater.
As soon as I got home, me and my family went to the BYU football blue and white game. It was fun, and I am so excited because I got my year's first SUNBURN! I know it's weird but it made me so glad that it was actually warm enough to get burned pretty good in about an hour. I LOVE that feeling.
I also love it when you're coming to an intersection where the light is red, but right when you're about to stop it turns green...so you never actually have to stop! It's great!
For spring break this week, we went to the zoo, my first time probably since I went to the San Diego zoo when I was four. It was cool, but little kids should not be allowed in. That might defeat the purpose, but they were so annoying! And just so you know, if you see someone push the button of a drinking fountain and it doesn't work, it won't work if you try right after. I don't think some people can magically turn on drinking fountains and "come to the rescue." None of their fountains were on yet because of it being earlier in the year, and we sat next to one while we were eating lunch. I kid you not, at least fifty people came up and tried to turn it on, one right after the other. I wanted to post a sign over it or something--but that probably wouldn't have stopped some people. I also got a reassurance of why you don't touch your mouth to the nozzle...plenty of kids were standing there licking it, trying to suck out water or something. I have never been more disgusted in my life. Oh, and I got another sunburn that day! But that was the last of the warmth...:(
Right now I'm trying to enjoy spring break, but I'm kind of upset that I had to wear pants today. Isn't spring break supposed to warm the whole time?
