College life so far

I haven't blogged since I left for Cedar City so I decided I should probably update everyone about my life. This past week I've been constantly meeting new people. Ha ha I've figured out that it takes me, on average, two meetings with a person to remember their name. I actually have made a few friends. First there is my roommate, Austin. He's a band nerd and A very devoted Mormon. He's such a funny and great guy. Second, my sister has introduced me to a few of her roommates/friends(they are mostly girls). I've also made friends with the neighbor girls. We actually had them over for dinner on sunday night. They are definitely silly girls, but pretty cool. The hardest friends to make have been in my classes. I met a cool nerdy girl in my computer programming class and another girl at orientation(she's the only one who talks and hangs out with me). And, of course, I've become closer with old friends: Forrest Hill, Michael Clegg, Maddie, and of course my sister Kim. My sister takes me shopping and goes to activities with me which is really cool. I basically wouldn't still be at college if it weren't for her. Wow. What a week... I've had to step out of my comfort zone so many times in order to meet new people. I'm still the shyest kid on the planet, but this experience has helped me out a whole lot.
Class wise, I'm doing great. I love my classes. And I even did my Math homework. It's a miracle. This year shouldn't be too hard. The class I'm most excited for is my computer programming class. I've always wanted to learn how to code and stuff as most of you know, so this should help accomplish my dreams. Soon I'll be able to get a job on the geek squad or become some computer help line guy. It should be fun.
If anybody wants to send me food or money, I'd gladly accept it. I'm basically poor right now. I'll blog about everything else later. You could also just call me... you know when I'm available.

love

Places to see part III

SUU

This is the University I am going to. I'm sure most of you have been there and have explored it a little, but here are some pictures anyways.

Library

Its a pretty big library with multiple computer labs.


Archeology class

haha I just had to put this in here... I think I see Jeff Peterson.

The Centrum



















The Centrum features these cool statues of Philosophers and artists. Its main purpose is for basketball games, but It hosts other events too.

PE Building


Probably one of my favorite places. It has a huge pool, Weight room, racketball courts, a track, plus so much more. Plus it looks amazing.

So basically, once you make it past the rocks and cacti, you'll find a pretty marvelous town and campus. The Buildings and scenery are amazing. If anybody comes down or wants to come down please let me know.

White Wedding

This last Friday I had the opportunity to help out at a wedding for somebody I didn't even know. It was Natalies moms best-friends daughter. Natalie, her mom, and I offered to help set up before the wedding. One of the first things we were in charge of was setting up all of the drinks and keeping them cold. First of all, I had never seen so much alcohol in one spot in my life(besides the store). Second of all, I had no idea getting totally drunk at a wedding was "the thing to do". I later figured out why everyone did it. When you are at a dance or party and there is loud music pumping, you don't want to let any part of your white show so you don't dance. But if everyone has a beer or two, then everyone suddenly stops caring about how white they are and they become "good" at dancing. So this is why there was so much alcohol there, so that later that night everyone could dance without a care. I was fortunate enough to see only about forty five minutes of dancing. It was a very entertaining forty five minutes though... haha. I think the bride was definitely one of the most drunk ones there. Follwed closely behind by her brides maids. Good times... Lesson of this story: Take dance lessons so you don't have to rely on booze to help you dance. Harness the whiteness

I really need to start blogging about my life and where it is going, but lately I haven't really wanted to talk about it all. I'm kind of just waiting for it to come first. Once it does, I'll tell you all about it.

Mr. Bloggerface

This is for Morgan. She said I was Mr. Bloggerface when, in fact, THIS is Mr. Bloggerface.

Mr. Bloggerface in his natural habitat: A field of orange paint

That's all.
