the joys of being home

I'm sitting on my couch in St. George right now while my mom is making me food. It's wonderful! I love being able to just sit back, relax, and not have to worry about work or school. Too bad I have to return to the great white north on Monday morning. This has been a really good break so far and it will only get better with CHRISTMAS tomorrow! As I've gotten older, Christmas gets me less and less excited which is not cool. Maybe it's because I don't really ask for anything anymore?

Last semesters grades are starting to roll in and I'm not excited about how I did. Probably the worst semester of my life. The C+ in Accounting 200 is a killer and I am going to re-take the class this coming semester. The rest will all be between A- and B+ which I think I can live with. My goal for next semester is A- or better in every class so we'll see how it goes. I'll be taking Acc 200, Poly Sci 150, Rel 122, Econ 110, and Math 119. Should be fun.

It seems that our little blog here is starting to gain some fans! haha even Michael is a reader! Now we just need to get Aaron to post on here a bit more.

finals finals finals........... suck!

First and foremost, I'd like to give a birthday shout out to Smalls. Our boy Josh is a real gem of a guy and it's a true pleasure to be his friend. I really believe that the true measure of a person is how talks crap on them behind their back and I have never heard anyone say anything truly mean about Smalls. He may do some pretty dumb stuff sometimes, but he was one of the greatest people I know. Happy Birthday little buddy!

In other exciting news, Aaron and I have officially signed our new contracts to live at Alpine Village for winter semester. Joining us will be our good friend Matt Beck. It's going to be pretty crazy with the three of us leaving together and speaking non-stop Spanish. I for one couldn't be happier at the prospect of having my own room finally!!!!! No more waking up at 1 am when Aaron gets home and he won't have to wake up at 6 am when I have to get ready for work. It's just a better arrangement for the both of us.

Finals are upon us and I want to kill myself. I set some pretty high expectations for myself here at the BYU and I'm just not going to reach them. I had a pretty bad run of exams to begin the semester and I've played catch-up ever since. Now that I've got this place figured out, next semester should be a piece of cake! For those that have been following along, I ended up dropping the Accounting stuff from my schedule. I'm still trying to get in the Marriott School of Business but I'm taking a Poly Sci course on the side to see how I like that. Anywho, its like 1 am and Aaron still isn't here, so I'm going to bed. Night!
