So apparently my mac arrived here yesterday morning. But I'm not really sure where and the BYU PO is closed on sat. so I can't check there. :(
Tradition of Honor was about the Honor Code. It was pretty funny. They had skits and two bands play. At the end a guy sang a song he wrote and proposed with it.
Finally a post with a title!
So my computer still hasn't come yet, but I'm in a computer lab. Hannah (roomroommate, btw) and I went to University Mall this afternoon and we got so lost. Just another reason why I'm glad I don't have a car! And I bought my first meal today (I got sweet & sour chicken, Mom). And I really don't have that much else to say. I'm going to "Tradition of Honor" at the Marriott Center in a little bit. Not really sure what that'll be...
Maybe it's a Provo thing or maybe it's a Utah thing. Some of the intersections have the regular green light first and then the left turn lane light turns green.
Mom and I were the Walmart beauty aisle I thought a sign said "Time Travel" (for anti-aging products) but nope...it said "Trial & Travel." Too bad :D
I'm so glad I don't have a car. I would get in a wreck in no time! Mom has already come way too close to running quite a few red lights.....
Unpacking & Such
It's around midnight and we've just finally got everything unpacked! There is definitely not enough kitchen space....

Mom and I just went to chinese and my fortune says, "Something nice is coming to you in the mail." and think it's right! Possibly multiple nice somethings....
Apple
The plastic on my mac was tearing so we stopped at apple in salt lake. They're going to fix it for me but now i'm computerless for a few days! Yikes!
Sushi!
25.8.08Ashley, Emily, and I had sushi today. Crab and shrimp. It was my first time eating it, and it could quite possibly be my last! To quote Ashley: "I'm not a sushi person." But it was fun to spend time with friends. The sushi place closed at 2:30 so we went to the park to eat (in case you were wondering why we are outside).
Know Your Technology
Because of the cookie post and because I give Mom a hard time about using my camera, I thought that I would share my most recent problem with using my camera:
My camera has three focus modes: One Shot (for still subjects), Al Servo (for moving subjects), and Al Focus (for still subjects that sometimes move). I normally have my camera set to Al Focus because it sounds the best (I had to look up what each mode did to write this..seriously, Al Servo?? how am I supposed to remember what that means?) but for some reason I decided to set my camera to Al Servo on Thursday.
So anyway, I'm taking pictures and for some reason I can't get the focus lock to work (you know...when you press the shutter button halfway down, the camera focus on the middle, and then you can recompose your image so every picture you take doesn't have your main subject in the dead center...). At first I though I was just being stupid and not holding the button down correctly or something like that, but after a while I realized that the focus lock wasn't working for any of my pictures!
I started to freak out because I must have focus lock! There is no way I could take pictures without it (without going insane). Sooo...at this point I started getting mentally prepared to send my camera to Canon Services and being camera-less for a week or two. Definitely not what I want to do, but I'll make sacrifices for a functional (functioning?) camera.
Of course before I shipped my camera off, I checked the online support to see if there was just a quick fix or something. And guess what?!? There is!!! Apparently the focus lock doesn't work when the camera is in Al Servo mode...so all I had to do was switch the mode back to Al Focus, and my camera worked again! Yay!
Well that story became a lot more technical than I wanted...but basically I set my camera in the wrong mode, the focusing wouldn't work right, I freaked out, and then I figured out how to fix the focus with just a simple mode adjustment.
So Mom, even I have problems with that camera.
