This Made My Life

This week has been filled with great events. I officially got a job as a research assistant for a political science professor. That was a miracle. I had interviewed for another job with the same professor and I didn’t get, but then out of the blue he e-mailed me and offered me a job. I’m going to be searching through books about Supreme Court Justices to look at their interactions with the Press and Politics. Awesome! Then as a result of getting a job, I got to put in my two weeks notice at the Cannon Center. I will miss my co-workers, but I will not miss smelling like a hamburger at the end of my shift. I could not stop smiling the whole day. I was so happy.

Yesterday was Cougar Tip Off and I really wanted to go to it. Cougar Tip Off is where the BYU Basketball Team splits in two and they play against each other. I talked Mike into going, which was way good because that meant that I didn’t have to go by myself and I didn’t have to walk in the cold, windy weather (I’m so grateful for roommates with cars). I didn’t think there would be a lot of people there, but there were tons of people. The game was well played. We rooted for the blue team because of Jimmer. He not only won a guy a trek mountain bike at half time, but he also scored the winning shot at the buzzer. P.S. He had 22 points in the game.



So…I am a really huge fan of Jimmer Fredette. His name is Jimmer! How can he not be the coolest guy ever? That is such an awesome name. He is also from Glenns Falls, New York (just like Rachel Ray) and we know that people from New York are awesome. So, I had seen him on campus a couple of times, but never had the nerves to go talk to him. After the game they had an autograph line with all of the team members. After waiting in line for a while we approached the table. Notice Jimmer in the background.



Getting closer….



Then we made it. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. He didn’t even hesitate when I asked him if I could have my picture taken. I also shook his hand. It was awesome. Needless to say I was on cloud nine all night. I would have to say that this has been one of the best weeks ever! And it’s not even over yet.
