Jiu-Jitsu gi victory!

I had a great last week of summer:

• A friend of mine invited me over for some fu fu fu PHO and it was super delicious. She's Hmong (which I hadn't heard of until I met her this summer) and her pho was better than what you'd get at a fancy restaurant. Also, I kind of fell in love with hoisin sauce that night.
• I saw The Weepies Friday with my roommates. They're one of Hannah's favorite bands but she hasn't been able to go to their show until this year. They're fantastic, and such a cute couple to see perform. Their banters are funny, and they seem to just "get it." They sang one song called "Strange" and they explained that they wrote it after they fell in love, got married, had kids and then were like "woahoa... this is strange" haha. BYU's animation dept made a cool video with a Weepies song.
• On Saturday I saw Carbon Leaf. I'm not super familiar with their songs but the concert was a blast. They've been around for awhile so they were great, one quality song after the next. Worth checking out if they're coming to your town.

And now for the new News:

Fall semester began today! I'm going for a super duper awesome super-senior year. I'm taking 4 academic classes and 4 fun classes. One of them is a martial arts class. Ha, I wouldn't have looked twice at a martial arts class but when I heard it's predominately based off of Jiu-Jitsu I thought "saweet" and signed up. I don't expect to learn anything spectacular in a .5 credit class, but learning some basics of grappling & leverage will be fun. All we learned today besides the course syllabus was "tapping" so that we don't hurt each other. Can't wait!

Anyway, we have to buy a Jiu-Jitsu gi because we'll be grabbing and throwing each other to the ground... Well a gi is kind of pricey, so I checked out DI and totally found one in the women's section for $8!! What a steal! I got a real dopamine rush from feeling oh so lucky :)

Going to own this senior year!
