Ring or Sing....le??

BYU. No one comes here with the intent to just "get an education." There is an ulterior motive for everyone being in Provo, Mormon-central...yep. Marriage. Mawwidge is wat bwings us togefar today...Or at least what brings us to Provo. So naturally, you would expect a lot of people to be married and have that little sparkle on their left hand. Now anyone who has ever been to BYU, taken a tour of it or anything can tell you that it is a big campus. Big. Yes. And walking from one end to the other can sometimes get a little tedious. Good thing I love watching people. Now you are probably thinking "Jamie, what does a big campus have to do with people getting married?" And I'm about to tell you. My new favorite pasttime when I walk pretty much anywhere on campus is to look at people. Just look at them. And then decide in my mind whether I think they are married or single. And then I look at their left hand. Is there a ring there on their fourth finger? If I guess right, I win!! If not, well, I just keep playing until I win. It keeps me occupied throughout my long walk from the HFAC to the Marb and back again. It's really funny because there are some people who you can just tell are married. They just look married, even they aren't with anyone else at the moment. And then there are those that are most definitely single, even though it may just be them and someone of the opposite sex walking to or from class. It kind of makes me wonder what people think when they look at me.....
