Really, it's the best college on earth and I am truly blessed to be here. Sure, I'm a little biased (aren't most LDS children?), but it's an amazing school. I feel safe, I can learn about the gospel in a school environment, there's a wonderful dress code, and I'm surrounded by fabulous people.
But maybe this little "Provo bubble" has been wearing on me a little bit. Maybe in my last month here I've become a little sheltered. Or maybe I'm just immature. Whatever the case may be, I saw something I didn't expect to see on campus yesterday. Now before you freak - no, it's not as bad as it could be. But like I said earlier, maybe I'm just immature.
I walked into the testing center yesterday to take my first ExSc 302 test (Philosophical and Ethical Issues in Exercise Science - yeah, it's a mouthful). My professor, Professor Lockhart, is incredible. She has a really strong testimony and applies it to every classroom discussion. However, I had NO IDEA what to study for this gosh dang test. We usually get distracted and go on long tangents about different things like agency vs. freedom or absolute worth or even running addictions. Anyways, I was sitting downstairs pouring over my "notes" one last time before going up to take the test. I finished, walked upstairs, got my test, and went to my usual seat. I like the chairs against the walls because I feel less claustrophobic in them.
A few minutes went by and the test was...a lot harder than I thought it would be. I was trying to take my time and kind of glancing around and resting my brain.
Then I looked in front of me.
The guy sitting two chairs in front of me was also working diligently on his test, leaning over it as if he'd do better if it were an inch from his face. His butt was also hanging out of his pants. Full. On. Butt. And let me tell ya, it was NOT pretty.
First of all, I don't like butts. I think they're kinda gross. Second, I've seen very few man butts in my lifetime. The occasional few were seen during Skype sessions when immature freshman boys thought it would be funny to flash the poor little freshman girls last year. Or when little brothers thought it would be hilarious if they flashed their older sister. Third, this guy's butt was just hideous. I mean, it was hairy, pasty white, and covered in zits. Yes, zits.
How was I supposed to concentrate on this test?? It's one of two for the whole semester! If I failed it, I would fail the class. All I could think about was this butt. It's not like I could ignore it. It was right in front of me. It took every ounce of self-control to not tell the dude to fix his pants. But if I said one word, the testing center employees could take my test away. So I tried my best to focus and finished the test. I could not WAIT to get out of there.
My grades didn't suffer, but my brain definitely did. I've seen enough butt to last me a LONG time. Laugh if you must.
For my next test, I'm going to be very careful about where I sit in the testing center.
