Live anew

Well Today was rather interesting

I got up at 5:30 am for my 7am class. that was interesting! It was my Ethics and Values class.. and I wasn't allowed participate for half the meeting because I was a physicist and I knew the answer to most of his questions.

then my 8:45 am class came around. POLS 1100.. it was crazy. I'll leave it at that.

Then my 10:25am class up in GT.. 6 floors is a lot of stairs to clime in 5 minutes across half a mile... I was hoping there'd be more ladies in my Thea 1013 class.. but that was not the case.. 1 girl and 5 guys.. ugg.. I felt like I was back in a physics class... only I wasn't learning physics.

Then I had a two hour break. I went to the book store to purchase the books for the classes I had that day, to make sure I was getting the right ones. damages came out to 130$. Not bad for a semester at 12 credit hours. I think I might keep all of these books too. there's still one I'd like to get, and that's the second volume to my Java Software development class.

I had noodles for lunch goofed around for an hour. and then went to my Java software Development class at 2pm

it was good, but the whole period was spent going over the reasons why Java is good, and why it's bad, and then what features it has, and what features it doesn't have. The last 10 minutes we went over a simple Hello world program.. yay, I can write my first java program now. During the class I had time to download a the Java JDK and 2 IDE's for the language. it helps when the school has a very nice internet connection. I ran after class and picked Robbie up from school.

I had a meeting at the church to go over how to use the church software, that was interesting. all the while I got a text from Alishka saying she was too full and cold to get ice cream with me... I was looking forward to visiting with Alishka and getting ice cream with her! So the news was depressing to say the least.

And now I find myself here, writing this blog. joyful and triumphant.

Networking

Today I made a trip to UVSC to hand visit with my Optics professor, and ran into my research professor. It was fun because me and Dr. Matheson (my research professor) ran to Bestbuy and bought a wireless network bridge kit for our solar lab trainer project. It was fun talking with him.

Afterwards I traveled home and where my family and I then left to pick up pkk, my younger brother, from school to go to the movies to see Forbidden kingdom. It was a great movie... though I had too much popcorn again! We came straight home because we were too full of junk food for dinner. On the way home we drove by the park where my old singles ward was having their family home evening; since it was close to my house I decided to drop by and tell my old friends about my exciting news as of last Tuesday (That I got a great offer from the University of Utah's physics Ph.D. program and and I received a teaching assistantship to help with expenses.). They were playing kickball and I decided to join in. We don't really know who's team won, but we had fun.

It was very good visiting with some of my old friends. They were all very surprised to see me because I haven't been to the ward in 2 months. (I have been attending my family ward, which has been good for me!) Anyway it's been quite an eventful day. After coming home me and pkk cooked ourselves up some food, and we watched the last episode of Star Trek: Enterprise - these are the voyages. It was a weird, yet very good episode. and now here I am, blogging away.

I have been chatting with Alishka throughout the day. She has a crazy week schedule, and her grandmother's memorial is in a few days. I hope she is well.

I'm still debating on whither or not I want to move out for this coming fall semester up at the University of Utah.. or if I want to commute. My friends are telling me to move, my family wants me to commute... My professors are telling me to move up there, and experience it. We'll see who wins. Hopefully me!

Beautiful days

Yesterday after the visits with Alishka I waited around for my other friends to show up, where we ended up watching all 5 hours of Pride and Prejudice (BBC/A&E version). it was glorious! Although I went through 3 sets of speakers to find ones loud enough to hear over the other TV in the house.

Then today I gave the lesson in Elders Quorum. The talk from conference that I chose was Born Again by Elder Christofferson. It was great. The weather is beautiful, and our home teachers are coming over soon!

Movie days

Well today has been quite the adventure and it's not even over yet!

In waking up this morning from sleeping in until 1030 I got online and started chatting with my amazing friend Alishka! I told her I was thinking of taking myself to a movie, and she was like, "you should bring a friend! it's more then that way (paraprased of course)." so I asked her if she wanted to go. and she was like sure! so we went to the movies. We saw Nim's Island today at 1300. It was a very good movie, and we both enjoyed it. After words I went to Provo Town center mall and picked up my trial contacts. I hope this new pair works out. After getting home I chatted more with Alishka and she introduced me to her blog... that made me want to start my old blog back up (She inspired me!). It'll have to be my adventures as a grad student; for that is the new chapter I am starting in my life. I was accepted Tuesday into the University of Utah's Physics Ph.D. program. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time. This should be quite the adventure.
