:D

Hey all, Just another update.

Classes have been going well but I am having trouble coming up with an idea for my 2-D design class. We are suppose to paint something that shows rhythm and I can't find anything to paint it on. this is a dilemma as the assignment is due on Monday :S. All of my other classes are going well though. I was able to sign up for classes on Wed. and I was lucky enough to get into my second photography class but I will have to wait for my drawing and web design classes until the fall when they are offered which will suck.

I still haven't found a job yet but my dad and uncle Kyle know a guy that works at Questar and I may be able to get a temp job there replacing some meter things. It is only for 2 months but it is about $9 an hour plus how ever many new meter things I install. I am still waiting to hear back about the security job I put in for and i am still looking for a job. No one seems to want to hire right now. Fast food place like McDonalds isn't even hiring right now, it is crazy.

I am going to be able to make it up to see every one this coming weekend. I can't wait to see you all! It is to bad that you guys couldn't come up during Thanksgiving :(.

It is getting late now and I should get up early so I can do my assignment for 2-D design so it is done and ready to go.

Missing you all,

Austin

My week in a glance

Hey all,
My week has been fairly busy. This Wed. I had a retreat for SUUSA and got free pizza and then we played wallyball. That was so much fun. My classes have been good, not a lot going on just some assignments and preparation for finals.
This weekend I played night games with some friends and we went back and watched a part of Aladdin and then we went to Little Ceasers and ate pizza on the top of the only parking garage in Cedar City and just hung out. When we went back to the girls' apartment we just sat around talking for a little bit and then we started to play Twister. This week has been a lot of fun, I haven't had a real dull moment this week which is really odd. I am off to play some more wallyball with some of my roommates and some of the girls from downstairs.


Can't wait to see you all,

An eventful Halloween

Hey all,

I hope you all had a happy Halloween, I know I did. I went trick or treating last night with some of my roommates and some of the girls from across the hall and below them. It was so much fun just because we actually got some candy. I was dressed up as a gangster and I looked so good that my roommate Sean dressed up as one too. We went up to some houses that sit up on top of this hill and we actually made a nice walk through a lot of houses and streets but we ended up back at our apartment for a little bit eating candy and trying to figure out something fun that we could do. Our friend Kadi from downstairs went trick or treating with us and she also hung out with us after our candy fun time trick or treating. Sean ended up leaving to go help his friend with some car troubles he was having so Kadi, Ryland, my other roommate, and I just sat around talking for a little bit and at about 12 we walked to the Maverick right down the road and they got something to drink and I just went for the fun. At about 2 though we walked to Dennys for breakfast. There was a big dance that the school put on and a lot of people went to but from what I heard it was pretty dumb, but when we were at Dennys we had to wait for a table because almost everyone who was at the Howl had the same idea as we did but we got an early table because some groups left just before us. We saw so many strange and funny costumes. On our way back to our apartment I had a sudden idea. i waited for no car in front of were our basketball stadium is and I climbed up on top of this big statue of a horse that is in front. It was really really stupid at the time but it was fun. I am going to try and put the pic up so you all can see :D. All in all, after we got back Sean was watching tv and we all just talked for what seemed like a few minutes but turned out to be about an hour and a half. I didn't get to sleep until about 5 in the morning.

Now about school. All of my classes have been going well and they have been fun but nothing really exciting to talk about. I have to do my work for my 2-D design class this weekend sometime so I can turn it in on Monday but it shouldn't be to hard. My photography class assignment is due on Wed and I haven't started yet but that is because I have no idea how to do an abstract picture :S.

That is about all that is happening this weekend and such. I will update again on Friday :D

Miss you all,
your college student

*cough cough*

Hey all,

The past week has been a bit slow but pretty eventful. I went deer hunting this past weekend and was able to skip classes on Friday so I decided to stay the night at my moms and Royce and I would go up to camp with our dad on Friday. It was tons of fun. Other than that none of us saw a buck to shoot, although my dad, his friend Chris, and I hiked up a small mountain and saw ourselves a coyote and we shot at him. After 6 shots he still got away but he was going to be picking some rocks out of his fur. It was lots of fun.
School has been going good. Classes have been fun and pretty easy going. I took 3 tests last week and I found out my scores for 2 of those tests. I did really well on my Art Retrospective class test. I got 27/30 so that brought my average up in there. The week before I took this last class the school sent home a letter notifying me that I was in danger of failing the class but that is just because we don't do any assignments in there and just take a test after each section and at the time of the letter we had only taken one test so I much not have done so well on it :S. The second test was in Psychology. I scored fairly well for studying the wrong material. Oops on my part. I got a mid B on it so I was still happy with the score I got. Tomorrow I will hopefully find out the score from my photography test. I am also turning in a self portrait for our assignment this week, it is at the bottom.

I have been pretty busy with Thor Corps. stuff lately. I have to attend a second meeting every month that is just for the presidents of the different clubs and we have been planning a few activities and on Halloween we are doing a car for the LDSSA and SUUSA trunk or treat. Then depending on if I get approval we will be doing a small game for a big club fund raiser, but that all depends on if we have the money.

On the deer hunt I have gotten a small cold and have been taking medicine for it like I should. But I accidentally bought night time cough syrup and took it just before my one o' clock class so, of course, I totally zonked out in the middle of the professors lecture and woke up just in time to have roll taken so that means I was out for about 15 minutes. I have learned my lesson and have started to read the labels of my medicines.

Can't wait to see you all at Thanksgiving!

Your stuffy headed college student,

A little late

Hey all,

Sorry for the late post. I was busy all weekend goofing off and studying. Classes have been going good like usual, my professor for 2-D drawing had a conference to go to so we only had that class once and my critique group for photography was on Wednesday so I had me a nice 3 day weekend. I have 3 test this week though. One in psychology, art retrospective, and photography. It should be a lot of fun.
This weekend was a blast though. We had a little party Thursday night. We had almost everyone on our floor come to our room to play poker and some board games. It was a blast. Then Friday one of the girls from across the hall came and hung out with us until 2, but that was because she got locked out and no one else was home, so we just talked and had a good time. Saturday I went to the girls soccer game. It was freezing. It snowed the last 5 minutes of the game and it was a mini blizzard with that bone chilling wind and the snow. We did win the game,3-0, against West Minster. Sunday we watched some of the football games and then went out and played a little catch with a football. Don't ask me how but i was able to find time to study this weekend. I was surprised at it myself.

In other news, Tanika and I broke up this weekend too. We just couldn't get the distance to work. She was always working and doing homework and I was always running around doing SUUSA and Thor Corps stuff. Don't say sorry and all though. This stuff happens, it is just how life is.

Happy October

Hello all,

Hope all are having a good October so far. I know I have :P.


I have finally got the all awaited picture of my "girlie friend".

There you all are. Hope you enjoy, I know I do ;)

So far my October has been a bit slow. Just been to classes and such but I am going on the Elk hunt this weekend so there is something exciting to look forward to.

This past week has just been classes and one flag football game. I have been having a lot of fun with the student government and getting things planned for football games and the tail gates. I was interviewed for the schools news station because I am the president of the Thor Corps, I will post the Youtube video as soon as I get it. That was an all new experience and a little hard to do because I was pretty nervous. But it is going to help me when I run for the school spirit position on the presidents cabinet in March. I hope I get it. I really like doing activities and planning things out. It will also look good on resumes and help me in learning more about leadership. :) I am already planning ahead.

Thought I would let everyone know that I am going to be bringing my "girlie friend" to Thanksgiving so all of you can meet her in person. I know you all will like her.

The college student you all know as

Austin.

P.S. I am attaching a link to Tanikas blog. please go read and let her know how you feel :D Thanks much!

Flag Football

Hey all,

Here is a mid-week update.

This week has been pretty good. Not a lot of work and not to busy.
This week I don't have any classes on Friday. :) lucky me. My 2-D design professor has a convention that he has to go to so he canceled class on Friday and my photography class is only meeting with half the class for critiquing pictures and my class did it today.

Now I don't think I have talked about this but I signed up with a few of my roommates and joined an inter mural flag football team. we have played 2 games . Our second game was today and the other team was just ridiculous. They started off with illegal block for flag football with basketball screens. I don't know how you get those two sports confused but they did it. Well one kid on the other team was rushing our quarterback so a teammate and I were defending him at the snap. This kid was about 2 of me tall and built solid. The way he kept rushing me was illegal for flag football. It was called bull rushing. I don't know. But the one time he did it he knocked me to the ground, no big deal, 5 yard penalty in our favor and I didn't think twice about it until I started to walk a little bit on my foot. I got me a nice bruise on my ankle and the picture doesn't do it much justice but you can see the bruise inside the yellow circle.

Just wanted to give a small update :)
