english
i forgot to tell everyone that i finally changed my major - officially - to english.
for the past year i've just been telling people that i was an english major whenever it suited me since it meant that i could win an argument. okay, it never actually meant that, i just tried to win by saying, 'hey! i'm an english major, i should know what's right.'
it never really worked since i always got a response like 'are you really, matti? really?'
to which i would have to respond that no, i wasn't.
it probably didn't help that i called myself a psychology major when that suited me. i seldom, if ever, won arguments this way but i felt like i would.
anyway. i am now, officially, an english major. as such i can - officially - claim to know things because i am. unfortunately, i can no longer say that i know things because i am a psych major.
'i used to be a psych major' just doesn't carry the same weight.
*sigh*

yay!
finals are now officially over, now the dreaded wait to see if i actually passed everything that i thought i would and how dismally i did on the others. fun!
two of my roommates moved out, one on thursday and one friday. the two new ones came in on saturday. breanne has a brother living in the ward already and is really nice. helen williams used to live in the same ward as amy (who stayed but is currently in new york) and i, it's great to see her again and it'll be great having her as a roommate for these four months.
yesterday in church, my friend, dan, asked me if i wanted to make dinner with him. i said sure, but asked him what we would be making. he told me that he had some ground elk meat. for some reason, i don't think it occurred to me that they actually made ground elk meat. but we made meat pies which were really good, but the flavor was...different.
after we made dinner we played Life Twists & Turns. It was a lot of fun, i lost both times. Yay for me!

two down
three to go.
and actually, one of the ones down was from my bowling class so it doesn't really count. but oh well, i'm using it. this way i feel more accomplished.

deaf ninja
so, in my asl 202 class last night, my teacher tried to bring up 'deaf ninja' on youtube. unfortunately, youtube is blocked on byu campus. so instead she told my classmates and myself to look it up when we got home.
gotta tell you, this was hilarious.
here's the first video:
deaf ninja: origin
and the sequel in which deaf ninja fights off an evil transformer:
deaf ninja: dn vs tf
they might be a little hard to understand if you don't sign at all. and the intro to the first will be completely useless (he tells us that his brother had a really old hearing aid system that he wore on his chest, austin then has a daydream in which he sees deaf ninja fighting off hordes of enemies). but transformation of the transformer is awesome!
