Classes

Hey all, long time no post.

I have been kinda busy lately with classes and homework all ready. I am only into week two of classes and I am busy, busy, busy. I have a big plate full this semester. 17.5 credits in fact. I am taking:
3D Design
Intro to Film
Chemistry
Large Format Photography
Art insights >:P
and SNOWBOARDING!
I like all my classes even though they have just started. I REALLY like my snowboarding class though. I don't have to go on any certain day of the week just when ever I go snowboarding I just have to let my professor know and I have to get a minimum of 20 hours. I actually just got back from a nice day of boarding. It was great! My two roommates Sean and Shay our friend Dillon and myself went up this morning and were up there all morning. The weather was cold and foggy but the fresh powder and the great runs made up for it by far. I already have 14 hours for my class and I am going next Sunday with a bunch of my friends from Arizona. I forgot to mention that with the class I had to get a season pass for the class but it was at a discounted price and I got it for about $100 cheaper than normal. I love it!

I'm going to go sit in the hot tub with the guys and some friends and relax the rest of the night, I have a long drive tomorrow. I have to go to Arizona for my friend Kaylyn's wedding. I am going down with Dillon and his girlfriend and we are going to stay at Kaylyn's house until Sunday when we are going to head back up here to Utah.

Until next time,
Austin

P.S. here are some pictures from today's board session.

Christmas Break

Finally the winter break has begun, I am sitting around at my moms right now with a few days.....well weeks actually instead of days. It is going to be really nice, no work to worry about or anything nearly school related :D. I am really excited to be home for a little while and I can't wait to see everyone at Christmas!!!

Long time, lots of stuff going on.

I know, I know, it has been a long time since I updated and I haven't been up on it like I was last year but more homework this year.

Thanksgiving was lots of fun, I went to my dads house for Thanksgiving this year and we had a lot of food! we did a big breakfast of French toast and eggs and all that was followed by delicious food all through out the day!

I left good ol' Emery County and I get to wait one more week and I get to go back for the Christmas break. I can't wait to see everyone up there! It's going to be a nice visit and so good to see everyone and catch up!

I do have a bit of cool news though! My friend Kurts brother is getting married in a few months and his original photographer that they lines up to take the engagement pictures flaked out on them and so they asked me to do it for them and I get to do that on Friday! It's really exciting and still more good news! My friend Kaylyn is engaged to my friend Kurt and they have also asked me to take their engagement pictures AND wedding pictures. I'm going down to Mesa for new years to take the engagement and spring break I get to take the wedding pictures and hopefully I can make my name known here in Cedar and take more pictures for other peoples weddings and make some money!

That is all for now, I need to go study for finals next week.

Classes

Well folks it is that time of year again. I am choosing my classes for the spring semester and it is looking very full already. I am taking chemistry with a lab, large format photography, a small computer class, intro to film, and the ever evil that is art insights. I am going to be very busy this up coming semester but it will be full of fun!

SNOW

This is the second day it has decided to snow here in Cedar,yesterday we got a skiff and this morning I woke up to the sound of a snowplow. This is going to be one great Halloween!

Vollyball and Deer

Hey everyone,

This last weekend was the start of the deer hunt, I didn't get my buck but I did get a shot off at a real nice big buck but missed :( I had a good time up on the hunt with everyone and it was really fun to hang out around the campfire and all that.

After I got back home on Monday afternoon I hit the sack early because I was so exhausted from the deer hunt and then Tuesday classes were really easy thank goodness! Tuesday night I went to the Volleyball game here on campus with some friends and we were asked to participate in a competition with my friends and other people and we had the chance to win a ton of prizes and all that, all we had to do was serve a volleyball over the net and hit the prize. Unfortunately no one hit anything including me but we all had fun and it was exciting to do it after last year and the bungee basketball thing. Unfortunately our volleyball team lost and it was kinda depressing but oh well there is always the next game!

Until next post,

Austin

Long time no write

Hey there family,

Been a while since I have updated, I know. I have been pretty busy lately with school. I have been doing well and of course keeping busy like I said, my classes have been going pretty good. Web Design 1 isn't exactly what I thought it would be but it is just as much fun. My drawing class is going good, still not a very good drawer but I am improving so that is always good. We are drawing from reference photos right now and I really enjoy the one that I took, I'm going to put it at the end of my post. English is ok, it is at a really bad time because I'm up early for web design and then I have a HUGE break and then English so it is really hard to stay awake and get everything that I need to do but I manage.
I have some good news though. I have a job for a few more weeks now. I am back working for the Shakespeare Festival as a House Manager again but this time I am a supervisor, I get paid $35 a show and I only work for about 4 hours a show so it isn't to bad. The shows for the fall are all ok. Complete Works of Shakespeare Abridged is by far the funniest and the best one this year, and that isn't just my opinion. Lady in Black is suppose to be scary but I was rather disappointed in it and Tuesday's with Morrie was ok. I still like the book better though.
I am really liking school so far this year, the place I am living is really cool and it is a lot cheaper than what I was paying last year. So that means more money for food right now :D I am still friends with all the same people as last year. In fact I am at my friends, Kaylyn, house right now typing this up. We have been having a lot of fun and over the weekend we went to the abandoned train tracks here in town and took some really cool pictures with my camera. They are all up on Facebook so they are there to take a look at (way to many to upload here onto a blog :P) I haven't been taking as many pictures as I had hoped to so far but the semester is still young and I will have plenty of time to take more!
Connie and Frank stopped through on Friday on their way to Bryce Canyon and took me out to lunch at Hermies, the best burger place in Cedar City and the maker of the number 5 hamburger in the state, it was really fun to catch up and visit with them and talk to them about my classes.


I have a little bit of homework to finish up for tomorrow so I had better get going, I'll try and update a little more often I promise!

Hugs to everyone,
Austin
