In the MBA program, we have something called Learning Teams. These consist of 4 to 5 MBA students thrown together more or less randomly and expected to help each other work on group projects and generally succeed. I am part of Learning Team 8 (they are numbered, for your convenience).
My group consists of Robert, Ron, Terry, and I. Rob is your typical white guy from Utah. He is my favorite group member because his attitude about things mirrors my own. This attitude usually involves us lamenting the fact that we are stuck in such a rigorous program with a group that is all but effective. Ron is another typical white guy from Middle America. He is ok; however he has some traits that leave me wanting to inflict bodily harm on him. Terry is a Chinese girl from Nanjing, China. She is probably really smart, intelligent, and interesting; however, I cannot understand a SINGLE word that comes out of her mouth. Interestingly enough, this problem seems to be getting worse, not better. It seems that I can understand her even less as the semester goes on. Now that’s just terrible.
The reason for my current digression on my group is so you know a little bit about the people I spend my 8am to 5pm hours with. Rob is basically the only reason that this group has been bearable. He is just an all round smart and good guy, and he has his moments where he is hilarious too. I will share one such moment with you now.
My group had to finish a group paper for our communications class this afternoon. So, we went in search of a room to study in. The Tanner Building was all full everywhere we went so we headed over to the Library. On our way there Rob saw a girl that he thought was, and I quote, “FREEKIN AMAZINGLY HOT!” I laughed and continued on my way through the library atrium toward the Wilk because I needed a fork from the Cougar Eat to eat my lunch. Rob followed me because his dream girl was heading that way too. She didn’t go into the Wilk but she went right by it so he was able to look his fill, and let me tell you for the next 10 minutes he was just useless. I was trying to talk to him and he was like, “Sorry, but I can’t seem to focus right now, all I can see is her... [Here he starts staring off into space again].” This was funny in and of itself but then he said something I will be laughing about for some time.
Rob was babbling on about that girl being the hottest girl he has seen at BYU yet and then he just blurts out, “That’s the kind of thing that ruins a marriage!” I just about busted a gut laughing so hard. I just didn’t know what to think of that comment, but it was funny!
Anyway, that’s my update for now, sorry so little but between the mid term today, group project due tomorrow, and the 15 page group paper due Thursday I’m going to be very busy for some time.

So, no one got the quote from last week, which is ok because it was from a rated “R” movie called “Sin City.” Its easily one of my favorite movies though. It was one of the first movies filmed entirely in front of a Green screen; gotta love technology.
Anyway, there’s a new quote up for all you Party People. However, I may do more than one quote this week since I think you will get this one really fast. We’ll see.

YAY SERENITY. You are my HERO!
I told you guys I would have to do 2 quotes this week. Its kinda cool that you guys got it though. It was pretty obscure, even for such a great movie.
Ok, the next one will be a little harder, but Ill try to keep it at something that you would still know.
