Frustration

This is kind of emo... but I don't care. I am tired, frustrated, and in a strange mood. I'm thinking of drawing a picture of something and burning it. So I will.

Condoleezza Rice

A couple weeks ago Condoleezza Rice, the former secretary of state, came to BYU and gave a forum address. It was way better than I expected it to be. Well, I wasn't really expecting anything so I guess you could say I was pleasantly surprised. I wish I had taken notes during it because I knew they wouldn't put this one on the Devotional/Forum website where you can go back and re-read or re-watch previous devos. (I know because they didn't put the Apollo 13 guy, James Lovell, on that website either. Dang them!) But I got an email from BYU this week that had remarks from her address. So for those of you that were not in attendance or haven't read this yet, you can take a look at some of the things she had to say. Click here.

It was nice that she tailored her address to her college audience. She talked about finding and choosing a major that you will wake up every morning and say "I want to do that today". She talked about herself too and how she had been a music major and then changed to international politics or something like that. She was more personable than I imagined she would be. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt like I learned a lot from it.
