I just finished an AWESOME semester at the Business College.

FOR SERIOUS, YO! I'm gonna miss it!

some highlights ...

- All the concerts I had to go to for my music and culture class. Best one: Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. YES. So cool.

- GUTEN TAAAAG! The adventures of Beethoven and Bach (Jessie and I. You're jealous. I know). Ludwig Newtons and Count Bachula!

- Acting class ... in general. Best class ever? Yes.

- Religion with Brother Hardy and his awesomeness and how my scriptures look like a child's coloring book now. A very neat, very holy coloring book.

- Discovering the majesty that is Apple Beer.

- Actually having to be somewhat social since Linnea and Cortney left me [OPEN WOUND].

- Kicking some serious US History butt. 3 papers a week. I'll try to never complain about papers again. Wait, no, I will. They suck. It's a proven fact.

- The fact that my new favorite thing to say is Eine Kleine Nachtmusik! And how I can hum all four movements. Nerd alert!

yes yes, good good.

but now I get to move to Provo.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Party time, excellent. And Linnea comes in June! YAY!

And for the 2 of you who occasionally may read my blog ... I'll try and update more.

OPERATION: FRIGGIN AWESOME SUMMER STARTS NOWWWWWW!

talk about being nostalgic ...

So it's cold in Utah.

WAAAY cold.

This makes me sad.

But THIS makes me happy:

BEST. SODA EVERRRRRR.

So Salvadoran. Soooooo Salvadoran.

It's all I drink when I go.

Gio had some at his house and I freaked out. I gave some to Cecily and she liked it! YES!

And now Jose and Juan are going to make fun of my tiny amazing country. Jerks.

Soooooooo ... Utah SUCKS without Cortney and Linnea here.

I haven't even been here a whole day yet and I'm bored out of my mind.

I miss them and how we would do nothing and still be somewhat entertained.

But now they aren't here ... and I really have nothing to do.

So I guess I'll study ... PARTY FOUL. 

Come back to meeeeeeeeeee guys!!

Winter break was pretty awesome. I miss the Bay already *emo tears*

HIGHLIGHTSSSSSSS!:

ARCHIBALD!

My new favorite raccoon from the Berkeley Marina.

We fed him fries, so he probably went into cardiac arrest after we left.

Poor bugger.

BOSSING at bowling. Absolutely WHOOPING on Kim, Brenda and Angie.

4 games in a row suckaaaaaaaaaaz!

BEING REUNITED WITH KIM!

Too much rock for 4 hands!

Playing Scrabble at Tapioca Express. I put down dong. *giggle*

This was that nativity I mentioned in the other blog.

A la gran puchica, voz! Los pichingos de la natividad! Cuando perdimos el pequeno Jesus.

Fantasia Mickey had to entertain the crowd while baby Jesus came along.

My Mom didn't notice me and Byron added all the random junk until the next day.

I'm taking Book of Mormon part 2 and Pearl of Great Price for religion ... and Music and Culture, American Civilization and an Acting class ... heehehe.

This semester better not suck.

Deep Thoughts ....

by Jack Handey

If you're a young mafia gangster out on your first date, I bet it's really embarrassing if someone tries to kill you.

When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who makes people happy, but inside he's real sad. Also, he has severe diarrhea. 

I remember that fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

"Well," said Coach, "you never really were on the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."

It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought, something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time for no good reason.

Contrary to popular belief, the most dangerous animal is not the lion or tiger or even the elephant. The most dangerous animal is a shark riding on an elephant, just trampling and eating everything they see. 

If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mister Brave Man, I guess I am a coward.

ROLFCOPTER!!

I love being home.

Real food is amazing.

I went to church in spanish yesterday ... and I loved it.

I missed it! I know it's not different at all, the gospel is the gospel, but I guess I missed using my spanish scriptures or something.

So I feel mega awesome.

3 A's and 2 B's for this past semester.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Those 2 B's are totally my fault. But they're harsh, the only reason I didn't get A's are because I didn't do one homework assignment for each class. Really!??! Cmooooon. Fine.

And I'm taking an ACTING class next semester. Haaaaaaaa. That'll be funny.

So apparently for our xmas nativity, BABY JESUS IS LOST.

So what do me and Byron do?

Get all the random toys and "trinkets" from the house and put them in the nativity.

You know, for a distraction.

So right now Fantasia Mickey Mouse is in the middle and it looks like everyone is watching him do magic.

I wish I brought my camera cord so I could upload pics. It really looks funny.

I was looking through Salt Lake's Craigslist and I found this and I started cracking up so bad, it was a laughing snort attack. It was embarrassing. I want it. Now. It can live in my bathroom.

DO YOU REMEMBER THIS?! Because heck yea I do.

Start watching at the 2 minute mark.

Ooooh yea. They're singing about the Mesozoic Period.

Me and my brothers would watch that ALL the time.

And I definitely hadn't watched it in about 15 years, and as I was watching it with Marito and Byron, I knew exactly what was going to happen next.

The human mind amazing the crap out of me.

Maybe that's where all my nerdness started.

I blame my brothers ....
