I never really know how to start a blog post. I mean, its not as if I'm having a conversation with someone. But since I have to start somewhere, here goes. I woke up from a nap today thinking that it was tomorrow. And because it was light outside and I heard kids talking in the kitchen I got really worried thinking I had slept in and missed my classes for that day. Wondering why my alarm hadn't gone off I looked at my clock which read around 4:30. This confused me even more until I realized what I had done. I had been asleep for at most 15 min, and I had already had a dream.
So other news. I got my first call back from a job posting that I responded to. Unfortunately the guy was looking for someone with a little more experience than I have, but I'm on his back-up list. I guess thats better than nothing. I was a very suprised to be talking with him and I probably didn't make a great impression, but live and learn right.
I have tried to get more involved in the singles branch down here. Last Saturday the elders quorum hosted a women's appreciation activity. I got to play a piano piece for them and accompany another guy who sang a song for them. It was fun. Then tonight for Family Night, I took a huge leap out of my comfort zone and sang karyoke. Not my greatest performance ever but at least I can say I did it.
School goes on, some classes being pointless as ever. I didn't bother to attend one of my classes at all last week. Its a silly class in which the instructor simply reads from her PP slides, that she conveniently posts online. We'll see if it will make a difference on the next test, which is this wednesday. I doubt it will since the tests are taken primarily from the text book.
Ending a blog post seems just as difficult as beginning one. So rather than just leaving it at that, just kidding, I'll leave it at that.

Pues, I guess it's back to the real world for me. Spring Break ended and today was my first day back at school. I barely made it too. Somehow, I had changed the alarm on my clock to the CD and the volume was all the way down. But luckily I woke up with just enough time to get ready and go. My break was great. I got to go home and spend time with Mom and Dad, my other neices and nephews and my friends of course. I miss being up there all the time. General Conference was awesome. Its amazing how The Spirit can touch your heart and bring things to your mind when you are trying to learn and become better. I know that the gospel that I have heard since I was a kid is true. It has brought more happiness to my life than anything else. I guess the biggest challenge for me now(other than finding a job) is staying positive about school. I had my least favorite class today. The teacher put in a plug for gun control while we were talking about conflict resolution. Fortunately, I think that the rest of the class also realizes how dense the professor is and doesn't put much stock into what is said. Congrads to Vanessa and Jashon for little Thomas, and Tim and Kimi for their even littler Noah.
