ZOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!

This past weekend, I went to Utah for one of my classes. For those of you who don't know, I'm going to library school. I'm getting my Master of Library and Information Science. I'm doing a distance learning class where I fly into Salt Lake City every month for class. Oddly enough the school is actually in Kansas. So I fly from Colorado to Utah to go to a school out of Kansas. Whew.

When I got my rental car (see below), my first thought was, hey, this is about the size of Marie's car in the Bourne movie. Then naturally at that point I started looking around for Matt Damon or some other well-built government agent who, despite being a seasoned assassin, was really just a good guy trying to find himself.



The man never materialized (story of my life), so I had to be satisfied with zipping around Salt Lake (this little sucker has great zipping power- all those rogue agents missed out) on my own.
I gotta be honest, I never really felt that bad for Jason Bourne. I felt worse for all the poor bystanders whose possessions were destroyed in his car chases. I mean, sometimes they were in third-world countries. Those people can't afford to be replacing cars and stuff. My favorite part, of course, is in the second movie where he causes a huge car pile-up during a car chase scene while trying to find a girl to apologize to her for killing her parents. AHHH, what about those people in the cars?! hmm, have I blogged about this before.


This trip I also stopped in at Temple Square where I took a couple pictures, dodged sister missionaries, did half of a tour of the conference center, and felt awed by the temple, as I always do.

All in all, a pleasant trip.
Oh, and school was nice.
