Thrown Off

Everyone has those things that they just do every day. You brush your teeth in the morning, you walk the same way to class, you come home and eat a snack. Whatever it may be, if it doesn't happen your day is kind of thrown off. Here at BYU there is a huge bell tower.

Very picturesque wouldn't you say? Anyways, it can be heard all the way across campus, playing Come Come Ye Saints at the top of every hour and a nice little chime at the half hour mark. It's very loud and because I live so close to it, there's not a day that goes by that isn't affected in some way by the bells. Whether it's waking me up, interrupting a good song I'm listening to, or even letting me know the time as I walk up the path to my house. It's sometimes very annoying but completely out of my control so the other day when I was coming home and didn't hear the bell I was very confused. Throughout the day I proceeded to listen for it but it never played. I realized how much I rely on it to give me a frame of reference and how much I appreciated it despite of how loud it is. 

Today I finished an amazing book! The second Hunger Games book, Catching Fire. I didn't even want to read this series but now I love them! I'm so excited to read the last one and see what surprises await me. I seriously could not put this one down and was shocked at the turn of events. Out of all the books I've read, this series is definitely up there with Harry Potter. I'm so glad the movie comes out soon!
