it's a game of give and take

so i just wanted to share my happy news. my group received 138/150 on our Ad Campaign. (that's a 92 p.s.) the ad campaign was our work for the whole semester in that class and the fact we did so well, makes me really happy. what we had to do was form a whole new campaign for a company/brand that he chose for us. we had our presentation of the campaign on monday and our whole campaign was graded.

and the other happy news is that on my ad file i got a 90. that was something else we had to work on over the semester. we had to find all these ads for certain styles and types. there were at least 60 ads we had to find, and then we had to put them into a book and make it look all nice, etc.

so yeah, that was my class i was fearing the most. and i'm doing pretty well on it. which is awesome.

home in 6 days!!!

19 in 12!!!

captain pahkah!! captain pahkah!!

HAPPY PATRIOTS' DAY!!!!!

So today is the official real day of the American Revolution. Sadly, it was really celebrated on Monday in Boston, and I was unable to attend as I was stuck out here in Utah. But it's okay, I will make it through.

and i'm already gone

dang. this semester has stinking flown by so fast, it's ridiculous. i can't believe it. i'll be home in a week and a half. that's just weird. heck the whole idea of me even being in college is weird, but hey...

life's going good. had my advertising presentation today. it went pretty well. but that could be just me. had to dress up for it, which by the way was a major pain in the neck. i have my first final tomorrow: sign language. should be lots of fun. in fact the whole week should be lots of fun. finals are all that's going to be happening around here...

so today. was walking out of the library and guess who i saw. yep that's right, the one and only elder jason arias. had to do a double take to decide if it was him or not. and it was him. we talked for a little bit. it was kind of fun. weird cuz he's a missionary but still nice to run into him. he's freaking tall!!!! i barely came to his chest. i've never felt so short in my life.

life's going. as we all expect it to be. roommate gets married in 6 weeks. scary!!! yeah, can't wait to be home. near a beach. cuz that's where i really want to go right now.

10 days til i'm home!!!

16 days til i'm 19!!!!

...and he don't know....

so it's been a good day. didn't do too much, but practiced for my test in sign. i had to sign a children's book to the class. it was interesting. the author and artist of the book are from boston, so that was pretty cool. and then i had work. which seemed pretty long but short at the same time. i guess it was just one of those times...next thursday is harry potter night. they bought us robes to wear and we're supposed to wear a white collared shirt and tie to go with the outfit. should be fun. i like theme nights. and harry potter. so it's a good combination on their part.

when i got back i ran into one of my home teachers. he opened his mission call tonight and wanted me to come for it (he's going to new mexico). still trying to get used to the idea that missionaries are my age. yeah hasn't sunk in.

the other news i have to share is my roommate is engaged. we all predicted it but it's still kind of weird to think she's getting married soon. i'm actually a day older than her, and maybe that's what scares me about it. then again, she's way more mature than i am, and i figure that makes a world of difference. no mom, i'm not getting any ideas.

last night was movie night with betsy, tanner, katy, micah, paul and i. it's fun. i like movies. a lot. it's usually the only time i get to see betsy besides sundays so yeah...saw night at the museum. i think i liked it better the second time around.

conference was cool. i've only ever been to the conference center for the christmas devotional so it was nice to be there for conference. however, waking up at 5:30 a.m. to go was not fun. whatever, didn't make too much of a difference. i still got to sleep a little bit. it was cool being that close to the prophet. could actually see him pretty clearly.

i'll also be going up this sunday for the easter broadcast thing in the tabernacle (paul's parents again...). it's the motab's first broadcast in there and i'll get to be there for it. cool. never been.

anyways, it's late. i think i'm going to go to bed now. well, maybe. we'll see.

20 days til i'm home!!

26 days til i'm 19!!!!!!

sooner or later, you're gonna hate it

so yeah, life's going dandy. school's really starting to pick up, what with finals just a couple weeks away. got to get all the last minute assignments in so they can test us on it. i think i might be able to get them all done, so i'm pretty pumped. bring it on!!

conference was good. actually quite proud of myself for staying awake through the whole thing. we left at 6 in the a.m. because paul's parents had to be there early for their motab thingy. slept in the car and stuff. and his mom packed us lunch. it was more ike a bunch of groceries, so she wouldn't forget anything and that we'd be sure to eat something. it was funny.

tired. but i'm always tired. so that's no shocker. going to go get something done. cuz i figured you might have wanted to hear from me. so yeah, i'm alive.

have a grandiose day!
