Work

For those of you who don't know, I work at BYU mail service. The job isn't that great but it keeps me active and helps me fight off the calories gained from eating fast food. As a mailman I work from 7am to 11am in the morning. On Monday mornings I pick up the mail at the postal processing plant and deliver the cargo to BYU to be sorted. after the mail is delivers a crack team of BYU employees, mostly students, clammer and fight over pieces of mail to sort the letters and packages into numerous small bins that cover a whole wall at the UPB (University Print Building). after the mail has been sorted into the separate bins, the drivers--a group of six to eight men load up the bins into trucks and deliver the mail to builds all over campus. the routs include red, black, and blue. red Route goes to upper campus and Admin building. Blue route goes to since buildings and museums. Black route does the buildings no one wants to go to, namely MTC, AXMB, AXLB, and other BYU buildings.

After work i normally am beat and want to retire for the day but am unable to do so because of school and homework. When i first took the job I had no hope of living a normal school schedule however after several weeks i was able to find a schedule that i could stick to in which allowed me the freedom to work and to study with a major impact on my social life and sleep patterns.

Valentines Day

My valentines weekend.

Valentines weekend was a rollercoaster of mixed emotion and experiences. For the record I don’t have a girlfriend so I am already am apposed to the holiday; however, Valentines Day does hold a special place in my heart because of experiences over the past years.

Despite my somewhat negative outlook on the holiday I had an enjoyable weekend. On Friday night my date cancelled on me about 30 minutes before the concert was supposed to start. This was a major set back for me because of two reasons, (1) being that I have not been on a date in a very long time and (2) I needed someone to go with me to the concert or else I wasted an unused ticket. Lucky for me my brain went into overdrive thinking about ways to score a date in time.

Plan A was to use my church singles ward directory and start at “A” and go down until someone said yes. Forgoing Plan “A,” I chose to go with Plan B which was the more shallow of the to plans. Plan B was to only call the cute, hot, or sexy chicks in my ward. After locating the select few in the directory I began to call several numbers without any luck. By now the time was nearing 20 minutes until the concert started and I was losing all hope of actually reaching someone, let alone having that person join me on a date. I continued to crawl through the pages of the directory until I came across a picture of a girl who had just moved into the ward. Her name was Alisha and she would be my salvation. Without a moment to lose I dialed her number and waited to hear if someone would answer. To my luck she answered the phone. In a condensed form I proceeded to tell her everything about myself and what I wanted to do on our date. I probably overwhelmed the girl but she said yes. Although I wonder if it was more out of remorse then actually wanting to go on the date.

The date last about four hours, which didn’t seem to drag or carry on longer then necessary. Alisha and I saw the BYU Young Ambassadors concert and then went out to get ice cream afterwards. I really enjoyed the time I sent with her more then I thought I would. In fact I might ask her out again. Time will have to tell that story later.

Check out the rest of this guy's videos! Hilarious!

Boring

It's the beginning of February and I'm already bored with most of my classes which is not a good thing. Bored will either lead to two actions. One is that i will fail all my classes become they are boring so I wont pay attention or I'll fail become i'm not interested. Secondly I will more then likely succeed in my efforts to triumph over the boredom and succeed in obtaining a good grade in my class. Classes that I'm in jeopardy of failing or loosing interest in, FILM and MCOM 320... not good because i need both classes to pass my major... sigh, such is life.
