Well, hello there sexy blog, havent seen you in while.

I was taking a few minutes to breathe after trying to ingest some new material for one of my classes, and I realized that it had been almost an eternity since I posted something new. School is going really well, and I am loving my professors. One in particular is Jason Shaw. He is a stick of a man, but very smart, and has a good teaching strategies to help students learn the material fast. He is my American Epidemic teacher.

Ive been learning about the cardiovascular system, and it is great. A lot to learn, but so far, the chemistry is coming along fine.

Excited for the next conference session though because I will get to go to the mission reunion, and see many former companions, some that I havent seen in a while.

Since the last post, I have purchased three little fishes, and they are added to the blog. Ricky Bobby, is blue, goober is green, and Bo is black. And so they are represented on the blog. How fun.

The Stache

Well, I was looking around campus the other day and I realized something that I should have never forgotten. Mustaches are OK with the honor code! So I set out to grow one. It took me two short days and a dirty upper lip to again realize that staches are hideous, and I am trying to get a second job, so I need to be looking my best. As a result of those findings I am putting off the growth of the stache till after I get the second job. Look out ladies!

i got the sucker!

Employment

Having a job is real nice. Not having to worry about buying food and other such things is a huge relief. I Feel very blessed because I am totally self reliant, well aside from getting everything from Heavenly Father, I am self sufficient. hahaha. My new job as a paralegal is going very well. Out of the new people hired, I am moving along at the quickest pace in term of new employee training.

I have had training every day this week from 5 to 9 PM. Mike, my boss has been letting us out at about 8:15 and I have taken the opportunity to stay till 9 and keep learning my duties. One of the reasons I am doing this is because I was told by President Rhodes that I will keep any job I have as long as I show the management that I am a good hard worker, and that I produce more than I get paid. So, I have been studying credit laws, and learning the system to try and get used to the company, so I can move on up in the organization. So far its working.

School is going well, and I am excited for the end of the semester so I can find another job, and save for school. Another huge blessing of having a job here in Rexburg is that I am able to work many more hours than I otherwise could have if I had to travel to idaho falls. So, I am able to stay in my apartment, ward, and school all year round, and have limited debt! Trials make you stronger, and as a quick shout out to sam/kanye: that that that that that dont kill me, can only make me stronger.... hopefully he reads that. Anyways, I need to sleep. I have an essay to write tomorrow, and some other important homework like a power point presentation for Comm 201: Crucial Conversations in the Business World. Its a great class btw.

today on this fine sabbath, I had an excellent idea. Many times throughout my membership in the church, I have been counseled to keep a journal. For some strange reason, it has always been difficult, but today I had an epiphany. I have an ipodtouch, and I value the thing very much. Well, it has the ability to take notes, and I now am able to "write" in my "journal" which is really typing on my ipod. The reason that this was such a great idea to me is that now I have a way to document my thoughts, and my feelings on life, and various gospel subjects. I am happy because now I can use the entries as support when times are tough, and I also get to share them with others when I deem prudent. To me this seems like a great option. 

Other than this, my life is pretty much the same. I go to class everyday, workout everyday, and look for a job....every stinkin day. But, things should pick up soon.

As far as the dates are concerned, I am performing admirably. Since I have arrived at BYU-I I have been blessed with many opportunities to go on dates, but it has only been in the last few weeks that I have really spread my wings and flown. I have had a blast in these last few weeks, going on many dates, and meeting lots of new people. I am also keeping track of traits and values that I like. Personality is a huge deal for me, and I love talking and getting to know different women. I can remember when I was thinking about not coming to Idaho, and I am grateful that I listened to my folks and came back to school here. I have experienced many things, and I count myself lucky to be here. 

I guess you could call this a special shout out to my parents. They are exceptional and I am glad that they are mine.  

well, school is over for a week, and i am searching for a job. thus far i have applied at lowes, home depot, walmart, sams club, albertsons, taco bell, lexington law firm, and tomorrow i will go to McD's, and the infamous call center. Donating plasma is also an option. Basically, i am ready to do whatever.

In other aspects of my life things are going very well too.

This is a picture of me as I try to finish my math homework. The other is me smiling...I know what your thinking: such good captions. I know. Well, today was very eventful. I had class all day, then applied for a job at a law firm, as a paralegal, and I know the floor manager, and she said I will get an interview, so thats cool, and at 7 I am going western/country dancing with a girl. And I just got back a paper from my writing class. My Prof is a very good teacher, and this draft is two away form the final, due on monday. let me know what you think. I already am going to change and improve the grammar, and add some better verbs. He says details=power, so I am going to spruce it up. Plus I am going to integrate choices and accountability with the Holy Ghost and Satan. So thats all in the works. Here is the paper.
