"You know what Kyle? I am pretty stressed out. As a matter of fact, on a scale of 1-10 I would say it is definitely above a five and below a seven."
"So, you mean 6?"
"6.7 actually, why would you assume 6??? Thats just weird."
"You know what. I am pretty stressed out too. I would say mine is more like an 8 though."
"Man, finals week is a killer. The good news is we get to stop blogging after next week!"
"Hey, you know what we should do, we should find someone with a stress level above ours and do something nice for them."
"Is this like that time we had to buy a stranger a "coke""?
"Yup."
"Alright, I guess we can do it. How do we find some one with a stress level above 8?"
"Just start asking all the girls."
"why the girls?"
"So you can kiss them when they say the number 9. Come on, why else?"
"Nope. Not doin it."
"Alright, alright, we will clean someones apartment for them. As a matter of fact, my brother just said he was like a 10. Lets go clean his apartment."
"You know. I am starting to like the girl idea more and more."

Week 15 April 3 - 10
"Tracy, this is one LOONG semester. Just seems like it is not goint to end."
"I know.... .... ISN'T IT AMAZING!? So good!"
"What is so great about that?"
"C'mon Kyle, would you just park the sad parade and hop on my party boat? Think about it. With this semester taking so long, it is the perfect opportunity for you and me to think of the AWESOME thinks to do. Just think: while our semester is barely moving along, our minds are booking it down imagination lane! We have just got to come up with a few more things to do."
"I know Tracy.... This "blog" thing is really killing my semester. Who even writes blogs, much less has them as assignments in their class!?!?!? It is even more ridiculous that we come up with something to do each week for that one guy's blog. Really, what we should do is find his teacher and do something this week to him for making us do this blog activity."
"O my goodness Kyle, I think you are on to something. Rumor has it, this teacher is a falconer."
"Ok Tracy... what in the world does falconing have to do with ANYTHING?"
"Well, the truth is that I have no idea, but he seems to make it relate to anything. Including any job he is applying for."
"Well, now that we are taking steps backwards. What else can we do?"
"We could target his TA..."
"Oh your good. What do you think, find Handsome Rob and convince him to look past this blog and still give it an "A"?
"I know.... .... ISN'T IT AMAZING!? So good!"

Week 13 March 28 - Apr 1
Slowly, Kyle slips into his class next to his trusted friend. Tracy looks over inquisitively waiting for an answer. The tension continued to build as they exchanged glances for the 50 min class period. Still no answer.
They walked in silence to their next course, Tracy still waiting, Kyle not answering. They avoided looking at each other for fear of Kyle's possibly unwanted answer. The silence was brutal throughout their third course, partially because the professor apparently had some sort of vocal restriction that didn't allow him to use more than one tone throughout his lecture. Almost as if he had been dared to put every member in the class to sleep. This lecture only added to the tension between friends.
Five O'clock rolls around. By now, Kyle and Tracy had been eating dinner for 30 minutes still in silence. Finally Tracy couldn't take it anymore. He had to know. Asked the question as if he had been a balloon filled too far and exploded.
"WHAT happened?!?!? What did you tell them? What were you thinking?!?"
"What do you mean Tracy? I don't know what your talking about. maybe you are just fishing for an answer that I don't have."
"I'm not fishing. You disappeared for 2 hours today after a Professor pulled you out of class. Where were you and how did they find out it was us on the SWKT?"
"Again, you are fishing for an answer i dont have. The professor just asked me about an published paper I wrote."
"O alright. We are good then."
"Yup.. Like a jellyfish in the ocean"
Tracy calmed down and went to his room. Opened the covers laid down. something shot out from underneath his back and fell on the ground... He looked and saw a fish staring him blankly in the face.
"HEY TRACY! Did I mention I went fishing after the professor asked me about the paper?"

Week 12 March 21 - 27
"Tracy, is his blog almost done? I am running out of good ideas,"
"Kyle, you are not running out of good ideas... You can't run out of something you never had. That is just not the way the world turns."
"Very funny Tracy. But c'mon, you gotta give credit where credit is due. Freezing that mouse was the best thing we have ever done."
"Kyle.... That was my idea."
"Not the mouse part."
"Come on now, lets not get into semantics here."
"What do you mean? I love the Jewish people."
"Thats semitism Kyle.... Not semantics. Not exactly the sharpest tool in the crayon box are you?"
"At least i am not dumb enough to keep tools in my crayon boxes. Sucka."
"Yup... You got me Kyle. Now what do you say we go to the Cougareat and try to convince people that you Jimmer Fredette."
"Just because I am tall and have brown curly hair does not mean I am Jimmer."
"Really... Then why are those guys staring at you over there? I am pretty sure its not because they are attracted to you... But those girls over there, thats a different story. They are attracted to you and have no clue that you are Jimmer Fredette."
"Thats because I am not Jimmer Fredette."
"You are now. Go talk to them and introduce yourself as Jimmer and see what they do."
"Not a chance in this world I am doing that."
"I will pay for your date when the one on the right says yes."
"Sold."
"Kyle, you are not running out of good ideas... You can't run out of something you never had. That is just not the way the world turns."

Week 11 March 14- 20
"So, how about we go do some homework this week instead of doing some stupid thing for some stupid guy's blog that no one reads."
"Well, now thats just preposterous isn't it?"
"How so?"
"Kyle, You can't just do your own homework because you don't want to do anything crazy."
"why not?"
"Its just the way the ball crumbles and the cookie bounces. As a matter of fact. You are not allowed ot do your own homework until you have done at least a portion of somebody elses homework."
"WHAT!?!? That is the most rediculous thing i have EVER heard Tracy. There is no way that makes any sense to anyone."
"What do you mean Kyle. Of all the people it should make sense to, it's definitely you."
"And why is that?"
"You have done this guys homework for 11 weeks now, why not another?"
"Well, you have a point there. I guess I have been doing his homework for him."
"Yup. And you have a few options... You can do somebody elses difficult bookwork ORRR you could do something crazy with me and do that guys homework."
"Game, set, match. what are we doing this week you overexcited mischievous miscreant?"
"The best part about that plan is that this one is all up to you Kyle. I do what you say."
"Any thing?"
"Anything."
"Game on. Grab that kids back pack and start running as fast as you can."
"Well, now thats just preposterous isn't it?"
"How so?"

Week 10 March 7 - Mar 13
"Kyle, Kyle!"
"What? What?"
"So I realize what we have been missing out on this whole time!"
"Fishing in the duck pond?"
"Oh, you are good my friend... But I don't think there are many fish in the duck pond... but when it's your week to choose, I am happy to join you."
"Tracy, it is my week to choose."
"No, it most assuredly is not."
"What do you mean? You chose last week what we did, doesn't that mean it is, by default, my choice?"
"Ha! Kyle, it's your week when you actually come up with a good idea."
"Who says fishing in the duck pond wont draw the attention you want?"
"Kyle, fishing in the duck pond is just about as creative as playing Monopoly with your grandmother."
"My grandmother has alzheimers."
"That's why it would be fun. We would give her the ship and the dog and see which one wins."
"Oh, boy, this just gets better and better."
"So, how do you say we do what we have been missing out on."
"You mean you have a better idea than Monopoly huh?"
"We are going to steal road cones and detour signs and pretend like there is a parade... then take everyone in circular detours and see how long it takes for them to figure it out."
"I assume you know where to get the resources..."
"Kyle, Kyle, Kyle... I already stole them!"
"What? What?"
"So I realize what we have been missing out on this whole time!"
"Fishing in the duck pond?"
"Oh, you are good my friend... But I don't think there are many fish in the duck pond... but when it's your week to choose, I am happy to join you."

Week 9 Feb 28 - Mar 6
"So, that bungee jump was good and all Tracy... but after I blacked out and woke up in the Provo police officer's jail cell, can we think of something a bit more tame this time?"
"Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, That brings up a fantastic point. I am pretty sure i have got something a little better than last time."
"For you, for me, or for the cop that will be arresting us?"
"Yes"
"Bungee jump off of the police building?"
"Kyle, who do you think I am? We are going to take Becky and get her a wedding dress from DI and I will rent a tux while you take wedding photos of us in the MTC. We are going to see how long we can take pictures before we get kicked out."
"Ok, I judged you for the last stunt... but I am willing to get in trouble for this one. How are we gonna get Becky to do that? She may be your friend but she is still a little on the kooky side."
"Oh, about that. I told her you would go on a date with her if we did that."
"Well thank you for prostituting me off to the sisters in the ward."
"Thats what you get for being "so darn lovable" as the girls say."
"yeah yeah, I tell you what if this wasn't such a good idea, I definitely would not be up for that."
"Well, I am glad you are that impressed with the idea because I also told Becky that you would go on three dates with her by the end of the month."
"Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, That brings up a fantastic point. I am pretty sure i have got something a little better than last time."
"For you, for me, or for the cop that will be arresting us?"
"Yes"

Week 8 Feb 21 - 27
"So, we are really gonna do this huh?"
"Kyle, I want you to look behind you and tell me if we are really going to do this or not."
Kyle slowly turned his head, fearful that if he turned to quick he wouldn't have the option of answering his own question. As he turns he sees the Dome on the top of the Eyring Science Center. Not wanting to turn anymore he quickly angled his eyes down and thought he could count every single foot below his eyes to to the bottom of the SWKT. Jolting his head forward Kyle knew the answer to the question.
"Nope, not a chance I am not jumping."
"No, you are certainly not." Tracy said as he tightened the straps on the feet of his friend. As he finished securing the straps Kyle looked at him curiously.
"Tracy... Why did you tell me I wasn't as you tightened the straps that circle my feet and make it so I can't walk???"
"That's because you aren't jumping. I am pushing you."
Tracy was only patient enough to not touch his friend until he got to close to the end. Kyle only hear "...I am push.." before his world got turned upside down and screamed in a way that was reminiscent of a small child frightened by the costumes on Halloween. Luckily Kyle didn't feel as alone when he saw Tracy jump as if he were Superman off the building. Well, he did feel like more of a wimp, but that was the last of their worries.
"WOOOO HOOO! Dang Kyle! What did you think!?!?"
"Ok, you got me, it was a lot more fun than I expected.... but I was just wondering..."
"Yeah?"
"We are now hanging upside down 30 feet above the ground being held only by our feet.... What's your plan now?"
"Kyle, I want you to look behind you and tell me if we are really going to do this or not."
Kyle slowly turned his head, fearful that if he turned to quick he wouldn't have the option of answering his own question. As he turns he sees the Dome on the top of the Eyring Science Center.

Week 7 Feb 13-20
"I have been thinking Kyle... There is really a lot of things we can do for this guys blog. I mean a lot. Statue hunting around campus. Finding our teachers' cars and writing notes to them. Asking girls out that we have never met. Walking on stage to plays that are being performed in the HFAC. But really, what would be better than finding the physical science professors liquid nitrogen and using it to freeze everything we can think of?"
"WHAT!? ARE YOU SERIOUS??!??! We would get in SOOOO much trouble. But, only because I am curious... how would we get it?"
"Thats the part you don't have to worry about. I swiped some after the TA left the liquid nitrogen closet open."
"You did what? You can't... That's not... I can't believe you... can we freeze a banana?"
"Yes we can freeze a banana... but c'mon kyle, think more outside the box eh?"
"ok. ok... outside the... GOT IT!"
"yes?"
"let's freeze a mouse!"
"woah. that was really outside the box. You aren't messin' around anymore huh? alright. I will try to find a mouse. Where do you suppose I start?"
"oh, this time it is my turn to contribute. My sister has a pet mouse she keeps in her dorm for a friend. Lets use him."
"WHAT!? ARE YOU SERIOUS??!??! We would get in SOOOO much trouble. But, only because I am curious... how would we get it?"

Week 6 Feb 7 - 12
"All right Tracy, Some rough weeks we have had huh?"
"Yeah, We gonna keep up our streak or what?"
"Not a chance in this world."
"REALLY!??!?!? You mean it!? We are going to call up Becky and Samantha and have them go on an "as you are" date at 11:30 tonight?"
"What? NO! But what we are going to do this week is buy a 'coke' for someone we have never met before. Who's excited?!"
"C'mon Kyle, that's two ridiculously lame ideas out of you now. I'm starting to feel like I am the only one pulling my weight around here in these adventures."
"Just try it would you. We will even have a race to see who can do theirs first. The good news is we are already in this grocery store. So all we need now is a 'coke.'"
"Got mine, now lets go check out and I am gonna smoke you at this just so I can get to do something that is really good... like repelling off the side of the SWKT."
Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding.
"Oh, can you leave that 'coke' out of the bag there sir?" Said Tracy. "Here is the deal, I was thinking to myself today, what I would want if I were working here as a cashier, and I would really want someone to buy me a 'coke' so, as luck would have it, I saw a 'coke' and bought this for you. I hope that you will enjoy the rest of your day. Thanks for being such a great cashier today."
"Dang, Tracy, did you just--"
"Yup, consider yourself owned. Wanna go to the SWKT or what?"
"Yeah, We gonna keep up our streak or what?"
"Not a chance in this world."
"REALLY!??!?!? You mean it!? We are going to call up Becky and Samantha and have them go on an "as you are" date at 11:30 tonight?"

Week 5 Jan 31 - Feb 6
"You know what Kyle?"
"Yeah?"
"I am not up to it this week. I just don't feel like going out today to do something crazy."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?!? The basketball game is today, you have always wanted to run on court to steal the ball from a player!?"
"Yeah, I'm just not feeling it today."
"Look, I got something that will cheer you up."
"What is it?"
"The McKay Building put up new signs and one of them is ridiculous."
"Define rediculous."
"Oh, no. You are gonna have to see this one for yourself."
"Alright, lets try it."
(Sign reads: "ENCULTURATING THE YOUNG IN A DEMOCRACY")
"Kyle, you weren't kidding! That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen from this institution. Enculturating isn't even a word! They might as well have put a sign up that said "PEDANTRY, WHAT? YOU CAME TO SCHOOL FOR A DIFFERENT PURPOSE?" The only dictionary that I have seen that would have that word in it is something like dictionary.com, but that even has the word 'bwlch' in it and that is Swedish. Who came up with that idea? Who said, oh no, you know what would go better than 'REFORMING' there? The word 'ENCULURATING'. You think that would have stuck out to someone as more than pedantic? I guess not."
"What do you say we enculturate our afternoon activity and hit up that game huh?"
"You know what, you are right, and then after that we can enculturate some of the ladies into liking us. As a matter of fact, if we can enculturate them into liking us, I bet there will be such an enculturating atmosphere, we can come up with something better next week for that one guy with the blog."
"Yeah?"
"I am not up to it this week. I just don't feel like going out today to do something crazy."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?!? The basketball game is today, you have always wanted to run on court to steal the ball from a player!?"

Week 4 Jan 23-29
"All right Tracy, it is definitely my turn to pick what we do this week."
"Come on Kyle, you sound very very offended over what I chose to do last week"
"Your right, I'm sorry, I should have put on my happy face when #34 decided to run the over-sized flower in the snowbank rather than make the turn. I should have really been happy with on the ride to the hospital and I should have been especially happy with the hospital bill that wont be covered by my insurance because of 'unwise situational choices in an unsafe environment.' Yup, why don't you choose again huh?!"
"Ok, fine, you choose, but just know it isn't going to be as good as my idea. I have had this one on the backburner for years."
"Something simple this week. We are just going to go up to the U of U and vandalize a few cars there with BYU stickers."
"Um... Kyle... Not that I want to be a Derrick Downer here... But that, my friend, is LAME."
"No it's not. And besides, it's a heck of a lot safer than your ideas!"
"Come one Kyle. We cant do that. The U isn't even worth it. They are like our Canada!"
"Our Canada?"
"Yeah, you know, if you ever ask a Canadian what they think of Americans, they will tell you their opinion. If you ever ask and American what they think of Canada, they will say 'I don't.' Its the same with the Utes. If you ask one of them what they think of BYU, they will go on a HUGE diatribe on how dumb this school is and why someone shouldn't go there, but if you ever ask a student here they will say 'I don't.'"
"Come on Kyle, you sound very very offended over what I chose to do last week"
"Your right, I'm sorry, I should have put on my happy face when #34 decided to run the over-sized flower in the snowbank rather than make the turn. I should have really been happy with on the ride to the hospital and I should have been especially happy with the hospital bill that wont be covered by my insurance because of 'unwise situational choices in an unsafe environment.' Yup, why don't you choose again huh?!"
"Ok, fine, you choose, but just know it isn't going to be as good as my idea. I have had this one on the backburner for years."
"Something simple this week. We are just going to go up to the U of U and vandalize a few cars there with BYU stickers."
"Um... Kyle... Not that I want to be a Derrick Downer here... But that, my friend, is LAME."
"No it's not. And besides, it's a heck of a lot safer than your ideas!"
"Come one Kyle. We cant do that. The U isn't even worth it. They are like our Canada!"
"Our Canada?"
"Yeah, you know, if you ever ask a Canadian what they think of Americans, they will tell you their opinion. If you ever ask and American what they think of Canada, they will say 'I don't.'

Week 3 Jan 16-22
"Oh, no. No, no, no, nononono. There is no way this is on your list of things to do in public Tracy. I'm not going out there. Not a chance. You couldn't pay me to do this."
"What are you talking about Kyle!??! This is one of the best ideas I have had. Haven't you ever been to the snowmobile races?"
"Yes... But I have never been to them wearing a daisy costume on my head, running out to hide myself in the snow for them. There is no way I am going with you to bury myself in that snow with these dang pedals sticking out of my face. Remind me why we are doing this."
"Duh, one so that we can get on that blog, and two so that when the snowmobile driver crashes next to our snowbank we can pop out of the snow like a spring daisy.... Truthfully, I have no idea where I came up with this one, but wow am I good or what!?"
"I'm gonna go with the latter on that one Tracy. Anyway, keep your eye on #34, he looks prime time for an accident in this snow bank and you are up first."

Week 2 Jan 9 - Jan 15
Kyle: "Hey, Tracy, what do you say to doing something a little bit more different that we usually do to make it on this one guy's blog?"
Tracy: "You mean, some guy is going to watch what we do and then write a blog about it?"
Kyle: "Absolutely. You in?"
Tracy: "Am I in?! I have always kept a list of things I wanted to do, but only if they got publicized to the world. A blog is just public enough to be out and on the internet, but have everybody ignore what is written there. I was SO 'in' before you even asked."
Kyle: "Wait, wait, wait.... You've kept a list of things you will only do publicly? You know most of us keep different types of lists... Lists of things we want to do before we die, things we want to do before other people die, things we want to be doing while we die, things we would die to do, lists of things that we can't do because we would die, things we would do in private because if anybody else knew about them our social life would die. You know, those types of lists. I don't know of anyone keeping a list of things that they would only do in public. What exactly is on this list of yours?"
Tracy: "Here is the thing, I can only tell you right before we do them. I can't have my list leaked to the public, that on my list of things that would make me die on the inside!"

Week 1 Jan 2 - Jan 8
I have received many unique homework assignments in my time. From Paper Mache horses to recreating the the intestinal track using home appliances. Never once have I been tasked with created and writing a blog. With such a unique assignment, I assure you, comes many unique entries. Now, there are many routes to go as I attempt to elect the correct writing subject. I have often been tempted to see how many times I can use strange words in an assignment, words like "tergiversate," "amalgamation," or just see if I can throw in "disestablishmentarianism" just to sound politically involved.
Then again there is always the option of writing the fictional adventures of Kyle and Tracy, which are two male friends that go on different adventures because they know they are being written about on a blog somewhere for some guy's class assignment. They would do all sorts of interesting activities, just to see how many times they could get onto "that one guy's blog." First, they would try dumpster diving for treasure, then they would see how many times the pick up line "Did that hurt??? When you fell from heaaven?" works on the girls on campus, and soon enough they would find themselves finding the best things to post on the Overheard @ BYU Facebook page. Soon enough, they have got themselves a hefty resume on my blog, and I would have one heck of an assignment.
