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.

(See Left)

Yes, yes, yes... true other teams are playing too such as the Giants (for Julie), Twins (for Shawn), Cubs (for Joe), and anyone else's random, less than mediocre team. ;) Nonetheless, Happy Baseball Season everyone!!! Let's Play Ball!

2 Months and 14 Days Away...

Those numbers may have no significance to you, but they do to me! Yes, in 2 months and 14 days away I will be going into the MTC!!!!!!

Obviously I am excited.

I can hardly wait actually!! I also can't wait for this semester to be over. I am sad to say I have not been as diligent for preparing as I thought I would be. But today I'm turning over a new leaf and it's priority numero uno! So we won't be surprised if my grades are not what they have been in the past. Luckily, I don't think my Dad knows what a blog is so he won't be able to read this. Unless Joe makes him. In that case, just kidding Dad ;)

PS. I have started a new chant every time I drive into my mission boundaries, it goes like this " SALT - LAKE - SOUTH! SALT - LAKE- SOUTH!!!" and gets progressively faster. Try it with me now!

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.

Nation's Most Popular University

I logged on to the BYU homepage today and found this article. BYU was "[f]or the second year in a row, and the third time in the past four years, BYU has been named the most popular university in America by U.S. News & World Report."

Pretty cool! Made me kind of proud :)

Apparently we beat Harvard by just 0.4%, nevertheless, we beat them!

Go Cougars!

Just So You Know...

I'm going on a mission.

Saturday's Warrior

Tonight we took a trip down memory lane and watched an old favorite cheesy childhood movie: Saturday's Warrior. I now know one thing I want for Christmas. :)
