- Waking up at the butt crack of dawn to go running (potential highlight of my day crushed into what is the groggy can't-really-call-it-awake wakefulness)
- Going to work where I generally sit and/or do completely random jobs...like make a mass of baby boy cards
- Mondays/Wednesdays I have two classes. Both two and an half hours long. In a row. That means 5 hours of sitting, listening to lectures. No, beauty is not the word I would use to define it...
- After all that I study. Need I say more?
I'm not implying that SUU ultimately kicks BYU's trash...not necessarily...Nor am I implying that BYU is a monster. And I'm not saying anything about SUU eventually killing a man to get away with fornication...actually, I might be on to something there...
Anyway. What I am saying is that BYU is ginormous. Really. It is gargantuan. Especially when compared to the minisculosity of SUU.
Like today was the first time that I actually ventured into BYU's library. That library has potential to swallow you whole. It's terrifying. And I love libraries (I mean, I work at the one on campus in Cedar). But, after plunging to the depths, I decided I very much love that huge HBLL. Minus the fact that it smells kind of like an old person's house when you get in the not-so-commonly-used sections. I love it, but my heart will always belong to the Gerald R. Sherratt Library.
But, clearly, the library is not the only place of all consuming ginormity. It spreads across campus. There are like a bazillion students. And then some. And they probably have enough buildings with enough rooms so that each student could have his or her own personal study space.
SUU is kind of like the size of a really huge high school. Big. But not so big that you run into (literally) a new person every day. I believe the best way to illustrate this is to show a picture of each football stadium:
Lavell Edwards Stadium Seats: 65,000 
Eccles Coliseum Seats: 9,500 (on a good day).And, yes,
That really is the best picture I could find of SUU's stadium.
All other pictures show an empty arena.
Clearly, BYU also loves their football more.
This might have to do with the fact that they are actually good when it comes to football.

Glad to see you are still blogging. That is awesome. And BYU is huge...very, very huge. And it seems to continue to grow.
Sadly, UVU, population-wise, is getting bigger.
Kim, this post made me almost wet my pants. Mostly the part where your rambling about Goliath and David just keeps getting smaller and smaller. Also, I really appreciate the hand drawn commentary on the picture. Also, I believe our football field is quite small as well.
I agree, the diminishing in size rant was my fav too. You're right, BYU is pretty darn huge.
I can't believe you've waited so long to plunge into the HBLL. It was my very favorite building on campus and still is my very favorite library. It pretty much nearly has every published work imaginable...well, except for Playboy. I know for a fact that Playboy is definitely NOT available. I still walk into that building and feel like I've come home.
