A quick look at last year

3 different homes, 3 different positions at work, 3 semesters of school encompassing 2 separate universities, 1 ended relationship, 2 weddings, 2 funerals, one baby blessing, one epic BBQ, one trip to Vegas, a couple finished tv series, mission farewells, true brotherhood on xbox live, and a whole lot of sitting around doing nothing. That sums up the past year, the past 12 full months of living in Utah county. This is the first time in over 6 years in which that has happened.
Now as I sit in the hall of flags trying to pass the time until my next class, which I wait hours upon hours for, I dread the thought of going to work after being up for 24 hours, all I want to do is sleep at this moment in time. Thank the heavens for the invent of energy drinks.
Listing off what I did in the past year made me realize, I don't really do much, especially since it made me see how much time is spent watching Netflix, and just sitting around. I am hoping that this year I can do less of both of those and more of things that I don't feel so ashamed to admit to; more vacation, BBQ's, or even just dates or just going out on the weekend and doing SOMETHING.

Return of the....poorly worded blog

Well, to those...couple people, here you go a return to this writing.
As I lay in my bed feeling sick from a nasty in-n-out lunch earlier, I sit and wonder what I could begin to ramble about. School? Work? New goals? The extreme cold? A lack luster romantic life? Or even just the contemplation of whether I should keep this iPad I am "typing" on, I have decided......none of those. Well at least right now. I figure I will take some time to write this entry and all those to follow, kind of like Derek does when writing a letter to Coles or Strawberry. So I will sleep now so that I can hopefully make it to work tonight, and add to this later.
Okay, so no more in-n-out, ever. That place ALWAYS makes me sick. I had a miserable night trying to sleep and not throw up...fantastic experience! Today is great though, I started my volunteering at Salem Hills, it'll be interesting to actually be working in a school. I'm excited to see how it goes. Though it will be hard to do anything else other than work and my volunteer hours for a while, sleep will be in short supply Monday through Thursdays. Well, not much else is happening, school is great. I am glad it has started again it gives me something to do and is nice to be active doing something more than watching Netflix.
I did meet with one of my professors from last semester and interestingly enough she offered to let me teach one of her classes. The offer was great and made me excited, I want to but am nervous to do so. I told her I would love to but possibly wait until next semester and help out in one of her history 1500 classes. Though it still scares me to think about teaching in a college class.
I am still enjoying my new housing. Despite the fact that our trashy neighbors keep me awake at times and sometimes kind of creep me out. I like having a place to live that nice and new, clean and respectable. I am stoked for the spring to come so that I can rebuild the yard and throw some killer BBQ's, though I am not sure any will beat the one Derek and I threw at the pad before we moved. I have started collecting some recipes that I can try for them and hopefully they'll turn out well.
Just to touch on this because I know it's a subject that is of apparent concern to some people, the love life of myself is empty and non-existent. Though that is not something I am complaining out here, it is something I am just stating. I have thought about meeting new girls on campus while at school but who really wants to get bothered by me while at school, that and a great number of them are almost 10 years younger than myself and that kinda bugs me. Tell you what, Derek if you read this, as soon as you find a lady friend, I will consider doing like wise.
With that I will finish this entry and go back to doling homework.
