I believe that I'm about 1/2 way through the semester now. I'm scraping by. By scraping I mean doing as little as I can and still get semi decent grades. But I'm surviving. I have finally started to consistently attend the singles branch down here. 2 weeks in a row + activities and fhe. Yeah for me. There are a couple of guys that have really tried to include me, but other than that Me and my shy self find it hard to force myself into other peoples' social circles. I did get to sing in a mens choir this last sunday, "Brightly Beams our Father's Mercy." I thought we sounded pretty good. The whole choir is now practicing "This is The Christ," written by James E. Faust and composed by Tim's mission president. When I'm not looking for a job, and when I should be studying or something, I end up reading. I should say listening, because mostly its audio books. They come in very handy riding the train and walking to class. Recently I started reading books by Orson Scott Card. Great Books. I'm having fun with Ed and Sheila and their girls. I get to help with homework sometimes which is always a treat, especially with Emma. Its always too hard. Well I think I'll wrap things up here. Hopefully I'll go home this weekend and see Mom and Dad.

It is now week 5 of my first semester at Sac State. Unfortunately I am not impressed with the school at all. Some of my teachers are decent communicators, but as far as this information being beneficial to my future career as an accountant, not so much. I am still looking for a job in the area. Something in accounting would be nice, but I'm beginning to think that I might need to settle for something else until I find a bookkeeping position. I am going to try and post my first link on the website today. I'm pretty sure just about everybody who reads this blog is family and shares my political views, but I plan on branching out in the future and should be prepared. I hope y'all enjoy reading it, because I certainly did.

Well, this is attempt two at a blog entry. Since not very many people read this blog at the moment think of it as a journal of sorts. I have been home at my parents house for the weekend and have enjoyed it very much. I'm thinking about coming back up here for all weekends, although I don't know how they feel about it yet. Today I got to go the temple early in the morning. It was difficult for me to stay awake but I managed and the payoff was well worth the trip. I also played ultimate frisbee/utlimate football with some members of the Auburn 5th branch. I had a blast, but was worn out after the 1st 2 minutes. It reminded me yet again of why I should stay in shape. I have been assigned to speak in sacrament meeting at the spanish branch in auburn. I get to do it once or twice a year. It is always a great experience, and it helps me to stay updated on my knowledge of the language. I know Jason said he isn't an artist, but I have been very impressed with everything he has done, especially that bowl he made me for my birthday. Thanks Jase.

Pues, I have just created this blog and have no idea what I am doing, so please bear with me. Last week I began my first semester at Sac State. It has been a good experience for me. The classes are not that different than what I have previosly experienced at Sierra, but there is a whole lot more walking involoved. I am very grateful to my brother Ed and his wife Sheila for opening up there home to me. Life would be a lot more difficult without them. I need to find a job, preferably bookkeeping, so if anyone knows anybody. . . Well, this concludes my 1st attempt at blogging. Cuidense todos.
