just a bit of silliness really...

Dear Euro-Mullet Guy at the Gym,

I’m not quite sure why you insist on lifting weights in short shorts and V-neck shirts, but to each his own I suppose!

Dear Cloak Boy,

It brought me much satisfaction to see you again on BYU campus, however I was disappointed you were not singing. Blast that news article that led to you no longer being allowed to do your thing.

Dear Bruce C. Hafen,

I’ve very much enjoyed your biography on Elder Maxwell….best thing that I’ve read in a long time!

Dear Dr. Ward,

Thank you for canceling one of your papers. Having six due within the last couple weeks of school is a little excessive. I’m glad that you’ve recognized this and shown us students some mercy!

Dear Jackson Emery,

One question: why do you have to be married? (j/k)

Dear Couple Mackin-it-up on Campus,

That much PDA in front of so many? Kinda weird, but not as weird as the guy staring at the two of you in action.

Dear EFY,

I was sad to leave you this past Friday. I have thoroughly enjoyed working for you. It has been a main highlight of my college experience and I will always look back on the many memories that we’ve shared with fondness.

Dear Guys of the BYU 11th Ward,

Thanks for the root beer floats, Latin dances, musical serenades, philosophical chats, chick flick parties, jam sessions, dinners, kind notes, etc. You have all contributed to my feeling very valued, cared for, and protected. Good job!

Dear BYU 11th Ward,

Can I just say that being in a ward with 100% home/visiting teaching almost every month is awesome. I’ve been lucky to learn from being a part of such a wonderful group of people who try hard to do right…and having basketball tournaments, dinner groups, “Sisters' Appreciation Week,” and a bishopric with an average height of 6’5” is pretty cool too.

Thank you, all, for adding some color, laughter, and joy to my week!

Best,

Sam

  2. Thanks Kenneth! I miss your awesomeness as well. How many people can pull off brushing their teeth in the middle of the WILK and not look TOO crazy?! Kenneth--end of list. That experience definitely falls into the "memories to look back on with fondness" category!

  3. oh, sorry about that...I didn't know anyone was watching us mac-it-up or I totally would have toned it down a bit.

  4. Hahaha Kami. Yeah, trust me when I say I don't think that you and James have ever kissed like this in public. At least not in the middle of campus in broad daylight!

"I could more easily forgive his vanity had he not wounded mine."

This week, we were given the assignment to "buy a stranger a coke" and then write about our experience....supposedly this saying, "buying someone a coke," does not literally mean that you buy them a can/bottle/glass of coke, but rather that you give them any sort of drinkable refreshment. My Professor (the pithy writer, comedian, and falconer:Shayne Clarke) took an even looser definition of this phrase and dictated that we only needed to buy something (anything) for someone that we didn't know. Well, I had a very busy week this week, so right after class I decided to use my 45 min break to "get er done" so that I wouldn't have to worry about it later. I waltzed to the Cougareat, determined to walk up to the most attractive man with an unadorned left ring finger that I could find and ask him if he wanted to get ice cream with me. I looked around me and all of the attractive guys that seemed to maybe be my type were either already in line somewhe...

it's all in the details...

So a friend of mine posted a list of 25 random facts about herself and I enjoyed reading it so much that I copied her idea! So yeah....here it be 1. In my opinion, carrot juice is one of the most delicious things in the world. 2. I share a middle name with my maternal grandmother (Lee). 3. I have a phobia of cockroaches. 4. If I could live outside, I would seriously consider it. 5. I would pick Clark Kent over Superman any day! 6. I used to detest Neil Diamond’s voice…now I love it! 7. I wish I could take a year off and study ballet, choral conducting, world history, different religions, and woodworking. 8. I have more nicknames than just about everyone I know (Sammi, Sammi Poo, Samel Camel, Samuel, Samula, and “The Child” just to name a few). 9. I’m really attracted to guys that are good teachers…kinda weird, but very much true! 10. I genuinely believe that if you really get to know and understand a person, you will love them. 11. I’ve always wanted to be in a band. 12. I get really ...

Thanksgiving

My ultimate love, my ultimate passion, my ultimate joy is rooted in the one thing that gives direction, life, and purpose to all other things. This thing is the end to every means I ever put into motion. This thing is my family: earthly and heavenly--immediate and distant--past, present, and future. "Thankful" does not begin to capture the humble, sacred gratitude I feel for all in my family and for the relationships that I have (and will have) with them.
