Unleashing The Dormant Spirit

Finals. Ugh.

I was feeling quite discouraged today with school as well as some other things. So I pulled up this youtube video that I forgot about till today. Its from part of a talk called "Unleashing The Dormant Spirit" by Elder Busche.

One of my favorite quotes from it says, "In your life there have to be challenges. They will either bring you closer to God and therefore make you stronger, or they can destroy you. But you make the decision of which road you take."

Forest Xylophone

My physics teacher showed this today at the beginning of class.

I'll Never Eat A Green Bean Again!

In my sports nutrition class, my teacher showed us this video from America's Funniest Home Videos. Apparently the mom was making her child eat green beans and the child didn't like it. Lesson to be learned: Don't force your children to eat anything, ever.

United Breaks Guitars

So I was sitting in my business class last week when my teacher was telling this story that had to do with something in class but now I don't remember. Oh wait, I think he was telling how people can make a difference and sometimes it doesn't take a lot of people and you just have to get creative. He gave an example of a guy that was on a United Airlines flight and brought his guitar with him. He looked out the window and they were throwing his guitar and ended up breaking it. He tried to talk to a bunch of people and went as high up as he could go and they did nothing for him. Then he wrote this song and posted it on youtube and a few days later the CEO of United Airlines called him and apologized and fixed it or paid him or something. Anyway, my professor told us to look up this music video on youtube, so I did and it has been stuck in my head all day. But it is kind of catchy! Anyway here it is to watch:

Happy Official Baseball Season!

So, I guess yesterday was technically official baseball season with the first games and all. But today is the first game for the teams the really matter. I think we all know what team I am talking about.
