My LDSBC Experience... So Far...

Okay. Since I've survived my first 2 weeks and it looks like I'm staying, I'll tell you about LDS Business College. Imagine every awkward person you've ever encountered mixed with a couple dozen RMs, a few self-absorbed jerks, and a limited number of normal people. That's the business college. Seriously. I love it, and I don't think I've laughed so hard at school, but it's true. There are some C-R-A-Z-Y people that go there.

Exhibit A: There was this kid in one of my classes who got home from his mission exactly 2 DAYS before school started. I've never seen such an awkward creature in my whole life. He was so sad and so hilarious all at the same time. A few other kids and me stayed after class to talk to him. He had served in Africa so he was telling us all of the different languages he learned there. Then he said (and I quote exactly- I'm not making this up), "But the most important language I learned on my mission, was the language of the Spirit." Oh jeez. I had to put my hand over my mouth so that I wouldn't bust out laughing at him. It was SO funny. Since this class period he has switched out, but we had a few fun days with him.

Exhibit B: There is this girl in my English class and I can't help but stare at her. She probably thinks I'm a lesbo or something, but seriously, she is really odd. She always raises her hand and says whatever the heck she is thinking whether or not it applies to the lesson. And the other day, she wore a tie!!! She wore a tie to school. And I know what you're thinking, Maddi don't judge her, she probably just got back from her work where that's her uniform. But, I can tell you that it wasn't a uniform because it was a crocheted tie. It was handmade. Not a uniform. Strange. Very strange.

Exhibit C: MY WHOLE PERSONAL FINANCE CLASS. I have to take this at night because it is the only class I could get into. It full of married people that think they know everything. Then they look at me and think that I'm stupid because I'm not married. There's like one other kid in the class that's not married but he smells like body odor. It's just... it's just a really strange class for me.

Anyway, I know there will be many more stories to come, but that's all I've got from my first two weeks. That's all for now!
Bye.
