The Beginning

Without the family website and considering my inability to express myself over the phone, I'll post my updates here on this pseudo-journal of not-so-personal happenings. Lately, there has been enough going on to make this somewhat interesting, but I hope life continues to throw the curve-balls at me that will keep me from settling into some... comfortable... routine. Life's all about being uncomfortable after all, right? That's how we grow.



So it is, that I, a simple and quite regular guy (possibly a redundant statement), go through life, just trying to be extraordinary. One thing I have learned is we all have our extraordinary moments. To truly know someone is to know about these times in thier life. Few people really know me, I guess. So let's review what has been happening on my adventure here in the culturific shockwave of... PROVO!



My stay has been great, to say the least. If I had a twin back in Texas, I would pity him very much for not being here. I mean, I miss my family and all, but it feels good to progress again, and to have somewhat of a social life. This is where I should be. I live in an apartment with five other pretty regular guys. The brotherhood here is chill, we all get along fine and are connected in some way before our arrival here (except Austin, but we'll keep him). Much of the time is spent stressing over what to do to promote local popularity among the female population, and we do relatively well. Two of them just got back. Make that three. Now the nightly updates between roommates begin... I haven't been home since 8 this morning, and it's now after 10. This is my usual Tuesday/Thursday schedule.

Now it's Saturday. The week has gone by super fast, as it usually does. Such is life when you keep yourself busy enough. I feel really good about everything... work was good, I spent extra hours studying my calculus for the upcoming test on Monday, and I did really well on another test for Civ... I think... The only thing I'm missing now is a female... ya, thus I am at home at 8:00 on Saturday writing a blog. I asked a girl on a date, but she never returned my call. I guess that's normal for a regular guy like me. I am looking forward to tomorrow, because general conference will be only ONE WEEK AWAY!! And at the rates the weeks are going, it'll pretty much be tomorrow anyways! Conference is like Christmas for me now.
So, facing another brutal week of examinations and yellow flags, and rejections, I have this bright star to look forward to at the end. Life is sweet.
