I have many friends who walked the Halls and Hills/Mountains (?) of the BYU campus in Provo Utah. They are proud to call it their Alma Mater. They for a few years of their lives spent time in a place filled with spiritual and intellectual learning. I can understand the appeal of attending such a place and will admit that there have been a few times when I myself would have appreciated the environment that is provided by a school like BYU. But the truth is I am grateful for the education that I have received while not attending BYU. (Don't judge my school for my bad grammar. My grammar can be purely blamed on me.)* I am grateful for the experience that I have had with the many diverse individuals I am surrounded by. And I think that BYU was never the school for me to attend, I created my own spiritual University. That being said I found myself a tad Jealous when on the News the other day I heard about the World's Largest Balloon Fight being held at BYU in Provo.
120,000 Balloons
WOW
All I can say is I am glad that I am not the person that had to tie off all those balloons. For my birthday I had somewhere around 500 and my youngest brother and sister helped me out in filling and tying. My poor fingers! I can't imagine 120,000.
But what an awesome fight it would have been to attend!
*I have many friends who are wonderful writers and very articulate with words. I unfortunately am not as articulate as my friends and am sure many times I can hear my friends cringing as they read over my post. Possible run on sentences... random dots that don't mean anything... my use of ish... And my good Texas accent leavin off the g's in ing at the end of a word. I do try my best to at least read over what I wrote once.
