Poli Sci is running my life

So I just wrote a super long blog and I totally got deleted so I'm gonna try again. Anyways, my poli sci class is straight up running my life. Like it is all I think of. The worst part is its not like I think about politics non-stop, it's that I just totally think in an analyzing way now and I think about my English and sentence structure (though I'm sure Jack would argue that I still speak horribly). As I was saying, any social phenomena I see I want to automatically put it into a theory and I think about hypotheses that I could use to test that theory, it's flippin ridiculous!
Something cool I've learned however is from my most recent research assignment. I'm studying the voter turnout in swing states during presidential elections and its actually some pretty sweet stuff. Random cool fact: Ohio has voted for the president every election since 1950. How nuts is that?!? Every president for the past 60 years has won Ohio! That's so cool, it made me realize how important of a state we are. Which leads me to agree with dad...if you believe in a candidate you should definitely vote because your vote matters in Ohio (less be honest, Utah is sort of decided who they'll vote for). Speaking if candidates, I enjoyed the debates but it reminded me of one of the many reasons politics drive me crazy; politics turn good men into cutthroat politicians. They're smart people and on general good people but they have to be so heartless in elections, not enjoyable to watch. Well that's my two cents.
Now the best part by far of this week was las night. I don't know if you Gus remember me telling you about Cameron, but he was an inactive guys that I worked with for a long time in Tierrasanta who reactivated himself in early may. Well he has just been on fire since then and this week he came up to Utah for general conference with his girlfriend (he met her in the SDSU singles ward; she's awesome) and last night they stopped by! It was such a blast getting to see them and catch up with Cameron especially and see how strong he still is in the church. Definitely reminded me how much I love the people that I got to meet on the mission. Hopefully I get to see him again before they head back to San DIego
Love you guys!

So I know I whined a bit about my poli sci class but we did have a fun lab a couple of days ago. So we have to define things super specifically in order to measure them so our TA decided that we should try and identify how to measure the perfect first date (only at BYU). Hope you guys enjoy, it made me laugh.
