ASL+online+summer = no fun!

Ok well my title to this blog should be a dead give away to what this blog is about. It is about taking sign language online during the summer. That is definitely not my idea of fun.

Anyway so a long time ago I decided I would go to summer school this summer to lessen my load during the school year. So I decided I would take about 2 classes this summer. So I was going to take a week long music workshop class, but that might even fall through due to my procrastination. I also decided to take sign language 1. So I registered for it and it was going to be real 4 week class on campus. However a few days after registering I got an email from the professor saying due to budget cuts the class would only be offered online during the summer. So I thought it's only 4 weeks, how bad can it really be? Well to answer that question, it is really hard. But on the bright side I'm just about finished with week 1 meaning I only have to endure it for 3 more weeks, that is if I make it out alive.

Oh also another frustrating thing is since it is online. I have no reason to be up here in Logan. I could have went home and saved money, and worked somewhere other than a grocery store at least for the summer so I could have variety in my life. Oh well I'm sure it will be fun anyway.

Biology!

Well as you may have noticed. I have not blogged in a while. this is mainly due to the fact that school has taken over all or at least most of my free time. Now school is not quite over yet, but I'm really close. I only have 2 more finals. I will be completely finished with the semester in just 2 days, less than 48 hours. Now the question is, why do I now have time to blog if I'm going through the most intense week of the semester right now. Well I suppose I will tell you now.

This semester has been pretty tough for me especially since last semester I hardly had to study and work for good grades. But I had to take biology which was the only class I had left to take before I could apply to my major. The only problem is biology and I are not friends. I'd say that was my toughest class this semester. I had already taken biology before and I basically failed. I didn't get an F though.

After 2 failed tests in biology this semester, I thought that there was no way I was going to pass the class and I would have to try a 3rd time. But then I really got my butt into gear and did significantly better on my third test, and I studied like crazy all week this week and took the final for the class today. After I took it I was worried and didn't know if I did well enough. Then later I checked my email to see the results were waiting there in my inbox. I didn't want to open it for fear of a low score so I navigated away to another site. A little while later I couldn't take it anymore. I had to know. So I opened my results to see that..... I got a good enough grade on my final to PASS the class. That's right I'M THROUGH WITH BIOLOGY!!! I was soo excited and relieved that I had to blog about it and I couldn't study for my other tests upcoming.

The moral of this story is never give up, or lose hope because you can succeed!

Now I'm off to study for my remaining tests which wont be as hard, and then I can celebrate!

Spring Break!

So it was spring break this week, and I regret to inform that it was yet again another lame one! Just the same as last year, well not just the same, I did a few monumental things this break, or not you decide.

First off on Saturday I was chilling at work and I was on break, when my phone started ringing and it was my mother, she called to tell me that my little brother Troy was giving a talk in his singles ward sacrament meeting the next day. Sacrament was at 9 for him and it was also daylight savings time so in a way it was really 8:00. I decided since I was going to go home anyway, that I would go hear him speak, but the question was if I went home late after work on saturday or really early sunday morning. I chose to go home on Saturday, I had all my stuff together and was on the road by 11:30 p.m. and arrived safely at my house at 12:30 a.m. It was great. Anyway and my brother did an awesome job on his talk!

Then on Monday I had the opportunity to go all the way inside a temple for the second time in my life, I went to the Draper temple open house with my roommates, Jennie, Maddie, Nicole, and Brooke, and our friends Nathan and Spencer. The temple was absolutely gorgeous and amazing I'm glad that I went. That evening I went with my parents and Troy to a musical in Salt Lake it was called My School Musical, it was a spoof on high school musical and it was hillarious! We also rode the frontrunner which was way fun!

On Tuesday, my brother-in-law Jon was kind enough to take me to a shooting range so I could practice shooting because I have to take Hunters safety for a class next week. I also haven't really shot before so I needed to learn. I thought shooting was pretty fun, then the rest of the day and wednesday as well I didn't really do anyhing but I did work on a 1,000 piece puzzle, it was pretty fun!

Then on Thursday I came back to Logan so I could work the rest of the week, and that was basically my spring break! So I guess it wasn't too shabby!

Missionaries!

well somehow half this original entry got deleted I'm pretty upset, oh well it was a lame entry anyway.

Another huge bonus of people that I know choosing to go on missions, is that I get mail. If there were no missionaries I would never get mail besides lame bank statements and other sorts of things that isn't a real, personal letter. Anyway currently I am actively receiving letters from 4 different missionaries, but only 2 of them do I actually personally know. The other 2 are missionaries that I learned about getting no mail ever so I decided to write them once, and yet they are still writing me back, It's cool, because they both seem really cool, and I don't know why other people, who actually know these missionaries. But 3 of the 4 missionaries will be going home by October, so then I will be writing only 1 missionary till June of 2010. But it's ok, because secretly he's my favorite missionary to get letters from anyway. Even though he is the last one to get back. However, that's why patience is a virtue.

Anyway so yup, missionaries are awesome!

Macey's

It all started on May 30, 2006. On that day my life would never be the same. Yes, that was the day that I was hired as an employee at the one and only Clearfield Maceys food and drug store. I have worked at a maceys ever since that day. So I have worked their for more than 2 and a 1/2 years now. I never knew that I would be an employee of a grocery store for so long. However, I now work at a maceys far larger and far better than the clearfield Maceys. I am talking about the Providence Maceys which is only about 2 years old. It really is an exquisite grocery store.

But working at a grocery store does have its drawbacks, I know that this is hard to believe, but it does. Some of these drawbacks include working until midnight on occasion, and also working with ornery or annoying guests. It's okay to have a bad day every once in a while. But please don't show it when your checking out at the grocery store. It affects us cashiers. We some times end up getting ornery or even feel bad when we shouldn't feel bad that you are ornery. Also I hate it when people tell me how to bag their groceries, I have been trained, I know what I am doing. These along with countless other reasons are why working at a grocery store can be a drawback, not to mention the pay.

On the bright side, working at a grocery store does have it's perks. One is that you get to meet and work with a lot of really cool and humorous people. Some of these people I have worked with in the past have turned out to become really close friends. Also late at night when hardly anyone is in the store you get to make up and play crazy weird games and even have random dance parties to the horrble music they play over the Intercom. But the best part of all, only comes to employees who are cashiers. I get paid to check people out all day long! I bet your all jealous now!

NEW!

New shoes, New clothes, new classes, new friends, a new start, and new jobs.


The above are a few of the many new things I enjoy a long with this new blog. It gives me an opportunity to express myself. I love the feeling of new. One of my favorite new things is a new semester in school, especially after bombing a semester. It gives me a chance to redeem myself and for a fresh start in my education. Ironically, I'm making this post at the end of a semester rather than the beginning of one. Oh well! So I hope I can bring enjoyment and entertainment to all who choose to read this blog. Until the next post, happy new experiences to all.
