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.

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.
