I think school needs to be staggerred better. Everything seems to be due on the same freaking day. I was just looking at the syllabus for this class, and it seems a rough draft of our lovely research paper is due on Wednesday. That is soooooo convenient because I have a test in my financial economics class. Nothing big right?
BAH
I am going to see my adviser this week. I may be able to graduate in April and then finish the rest of my credits on online through independant study. This is great news! I can finally be done with the school part of my life and move into the part of my life where i get a real job and start making real money. I am so excited.
Football was pretty boring this weekend. The Jets didn't play. Watching the world series was the highlight of my sports viewing week. That series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers will be remembered forever. What a great series it was. It is great because I hate Texas sports teams. Everyone from Texas is so big headed, so it is nice to see them fail!
I'm bad I know.
6 months left.
Peace OUT

All I want to do is get on with my life.
I am at this point in my life where I know what I am going to be doing when I graduate. If all goes well, I have a job lined up working for my older brother who bought the family plumbing company from my dad. I want to learn the odds and ends of the company so that I can add value to the company. I know that this is a very unique experience, and I am very grateful for this opportunity.
I'm in this finance class, and I am learning a lot about houses and cars. It is unbelieveable. I looked at semi luxurious hoses near where I grew up where i could get a mortgage of like $200 more a month than I pay now for rent. I want to buy my own home, and start doing all those awesome grown up things with my own house! Just thinking how I will have my OWN garage, and my OWN office is so cool to me. I need to buy a lawn mower and all that fancy lawn equipment. I am just so excited for this part of life, and all that separates me from this is 2 and a half more semesters of college. I love all the things I have learned, but with light at the end of the tunnel, it is getting tougher to care about finding derivatives and writing research papers. I guess this is all that life is about: enduring!
I cannot wait to have kids. I am scared todeath of them at the same time. I cannot even imagine that Heavenly Father trusts people to raise a little child. I have never changed a diaper before, and i refuse to until it is my own child. I may even vomit before I actually change that diaper. Who knows. Also, even before we get to that point, I will probably faint when my wife is giving birth. Scary stuff ahead for sure! Scary and exciting. I just want my own garage!

Buy someone a Coke
Shayne is crazy. He is telling us to be Christlike at BYU! What a weirdo.
So I work for the BYU Moving Crew. The building is located on University Ave and 2230 North in provo. If you are familiar with this road, it wraps around into the shoping center that Cafe Rio is located in. There are occasionally a few homeless people right there on the street with signs out. I stopped and gave the guy a five dollar bill. He seemed very happy, and grateful. It was a nice seeing his face brighten up a bit. I hope that he didn't use it for drugs or alcohol or smokes, but whatever he did use it for, at least I was able to helph someone out who is less fortuante than I am.
You gotta feel for those people. I wonder why they are in that situation? I wonder if they are just milking people, or if they get enough money to clean themselves up to go apply for a job. Either way, it is sad that one person resorts to begging. I need to be better at giving more to these people, and not think about what bad things they may do with the money.
Thanks for making us do this exercise Shayne, I got a good message out of it.

I Just Woke Up
do you know that feeling you get when you wake up from a long nap? Yeah, I am totally in that mode right now. I have heard it referred to a nap hangover before, and I feel like that is very appropriate. It fits, I guess. I don't know what a hangover is like, so maybe it doesnt fit at all, but that is for another day of discussion.
An AC/DC song just came on my itunes. I have had one of the most incredible feelings that music can give a person. I feel like it only can come to someone who has faithfully served a two year mission. No one else is entitled to this feeling. I grew up loving classic rock, and loving many other types of bands. I also played in a band in high school. I had as great of a love for music as the next person, and then I was asked to give it all up. This was probably the hardest part of my mission, and it realy wasn't even that hard. I know lots of missions that weren't very strict on the music rule, but my mission was very strict. WE could only listen to hymns or mo-tab. It got very repetitive, but I was obedient. IT was worth it. When I got home, and finally able to be alone, I rocked out. I got into a car and put in some old CDs. First song up was Led Zeppelin's Rock n Roll. It was like magic ran through my veins as my blood pumped. I then turned to Highway to Hell (yeah, the day I got home, I know, right?) by AC/DC. and seriously I felt like there was something in my veins that had been gone forever. It was magical. I felt alive! I had my entire life in front of me, and I could rock out the entire time. That was one of the more special moments in my life, so if it seemed dull here, its because I couldn't show you how I felt with the volume of the music. I promise it is incredible.

Another Sunday
General Conference was really good. It is weird that the further away from my mission I get, the harder it is to remember what each talk was about. Maybe I need to repent or something. My favorite talk had to be Sister Daltons. It s weird, because I'm actually pretty harsh when it comes to the women speaking in general conference. They have this voice that is like they speak condescendingly at me, but Sis Dalton's talk wasn't like that. She spoke of how to raise a daughter, which is one thing I am pretty scared about. Kids are something that are soon to come in my life, and I will probbaly have at least one girl, but I have no idea what to do! Her talk told me exactly what I need to do. To raise my daughter right, I need to treat her mother perfectly so she knows what to expect from a man in a relationship. Sounds good enough to me!
We also made some really good pulled pork sandwiches. Took 8+ hours too cook, but in the end it was worth it. We used Dr. Pepper to sweeten it, so that just gives you a hint of how good they tasted.
Im still tired of school. I am already doing pretty bad, and to make it worse, I missed a little class last week because of my health. I had to go to the doctor and she is telling me to lose some weight. Well, a lot of weight. Im supposed to eat a lot more vegeables and fruits and less junk. It is going to be hard, but i Guess it is time to change my lifestyle up. I want to be around for a long time to see those littlke girls I was talking about earlier!
Back to school. It was a mistake to take financial economics! The class is very difficult, and I feel like I am the dumbest person in the class. At least there is a big study group that knows what is going one that lets me join in!
Good things in my life are my wife and my fantasy football league! What more can a man ask for! haha
