Okay, I just need to go on a mini rant about the number one thing I've found to bother me at BYUI.
The dress code. DISCLAIMER: I really don't have a problem not wearing shorts on campus, not being able to wear capri's is a little bit much but I can deal with that to. I can deal with their no flip flop rule even though I'd much rather be able to wear flip flops on campus. So now maybe you are wondering what then is my problem with the dress code. My problem comes when I go to work out. Example number 1. Many girls wear leggings to yoga, so one time I decided to along with my room mate. I don't own a BYUI shirt so I always have to go and rent one, and when I did they told me that I wasn't allowed to wear leggings and I'd have to change into their shorts. My room mate was standing right next to me in her leggings but they never said anything to her and then I walked into the yoga room and look around and what do you know there are probably 10 other girls in leggings. How come you are the exception to the rule?
Example 2. This happened today. I had just finished my run around the track and was going to meet up with my room mate Sam (she likes to run on treadmills) in the Exercise room to finish off our workout with abs. I walked in and one of the workers comes to me with a pair of shorts and tells me that her boss says my capris are too tight and I need to change into their shorts. Well like before I do, and as I look around I notice many girls in tighter and shorter capris and shorts then mine. Why are they off the hook? Also let me just point out that during my ab workout a lot more of me was getting shown off then when I wear my "tight" yoga capris.
BYUI I love you, but if you are going to make rules enforce them on everyone. I'm sure the girl told me to change because her boss was there and asked her to, but if you are going to do that go around to every girl that was in the gym before and go ask them to change as well.
I know it's important to be modest, but I don't really see myself as being immodest, My yoga pants leave just as much to the imagination as your usual everyday pants. Many people say that young woman need to dress modest because we shouldn't want to be some young mans pornography and you know I get that part but something my room mate said about this issue makes a lot of sense. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS. If you have a pornography problem don't blame it on me. People can't keep justifing their actions based on other peoples actions, if they do what incentive do they have to overcome their problem? It's a girls responsibility to dress modestly and it's a guys responsibility to not entertain or look at pornography. Also not to justify my tight yoga pants but guys are goig to be bombarded with a lot more suggustive images when they go to a beach or watch a movie so if they can't handle a girls body in clothes good luck in the world outside BYUI's campus.
Okay I feel better. The end.

Today...
Well today was an interesting day to say the least. First I'll start with my effective living class. We are on chapter 4-health and wellness. For 45 minutes today we did some chinese meditation. I wish with all my heart I could remember the silly name of it, but it was in chinese and it doesn't sound anything like how it looked so i forgot. But we had to do some of the most awkward moves ever. And it was all about pushing out the negative energy and bringing in the positive. It was actually kind of fun, but very interesting. Even more interesting then yoga.
Another event from my day. So usually you go to devotional to get spiritually fed. Well I tried really hard today, because the talk was on a really good subject "sharing your talents" and itwas by Elder Rasband. President of the 70 so I was really looking forward to it. Little did I know that the couple we had chosen to sit in front of would kiss and whisper sweet nothings into each others ears the whole time! Oh I was getting so sick. Every time they did I would give madison this horrified and annoyed look, then I'd pretend to punch them, claw them, strangle them and whatever else. I know that sounds a little extreme but really, isn't kissing in public like that all the time a little extreme too? I mean I'm fine with seeing a couple kiss once, maybe twice, but do you need to every 5 minutes? Can't you control your hormones for 45 mins and pay attention to what a leader of the church is saying? I'm sure it's a lot more important then kissing your loved one. Just a thought. I could be wrong...But I'm not.
Perhaps I needed to spend more time meditating so that I could better control my anger.
