Books and Movies

Some people are avid "you must read the book before you can see the movie" type people. Last night I realized I am not. I thought I leaned toward this philosophy. Last night I finished reading The Lightening Thief. I saw the movie a couple weeks ago and loved it, so I thought I'd give the books a try. The book and the movie are so different, but I loved both of them. I'm glad I watched the movie first because I think that if I had read the book first and then had gone to see the movie I would have been comparing them the whole time and found the movie coming up very short. They vaguely have the same plot but not hardly at all. So I'm glad I watched the movie first and I don't think that I will grow up and make my children read the book first.

The Honor Code

This might sound a little rude of me and like I'm judging people but whatever. I don't really care.

BYU-Idaho has an honor code, a stricter honor code that BYU. In order to get in you have to sign a paper saying you will follow the Honor Code. That means, dear people, that you should actually follow the blasted Honor Code! Yes, it can be a pain. The fact that you can't wear capris or shorts is irritating once the weather is not butt freezing cold. But honestly, you signed it. You promised to follow it.

Here's the list of things that are not allowed and when I see people on campus or around campus doing it it irritates me:

Thigh length skirts with dotted nylons

Tunic length skirts with legging or jeggings (jeggings are NOT pants)

Being completely shocked when I wouldn't cross the Chastity Line in a guy's apartment (that is just stupid. You don't need to think I'm such a goodie two shoes or think that it's weird. It's what I'm supposed to do!)

Other obvious dress code violation especially when it's ugly

Frequent curfew violation- I've come in a couple minutes late, I have also been half an hour late once when we went to Idaho Falls. It's when roommates are in Rexburg and especially with boyfriends that it irritates me.

And there's it's for right now. It just bothers me that people don't seem to care that they promised to do something and then they completely ignore it.
