MAJOR life updatee :)

whoa whoa WHOA..
i haven't blogged..
D:




what's good in my hood... (ooh that's naughty.. bahaha)




Cabin Fever
a couple of weekends ago i stayed in a cabin. i know i know, those of you who know me are saying "WHAT?! A cabin.. were you high.. you hate the outdoors!" to what i respond with, "Guys, it was a heated cabin, with flush-able toilets, beds, a kitchen, and all other awesome home-like commodities!" 

"MURDER IN THE DARK!" was the most repeated line that whole weekend, due to our mad murdering skills ;) but all in all, i had cabin fever. i did not want to leave to return to a world where i had homework and responsibilities.. but i'm back.. :)


Job Interview
i had a job interview at rue21 in orem, ut :) that went super well! i know the managers loved me, but i haven't heard back yet. to which i am not extremely disappointed because i just want to serve a mission :)

Amazing Race

i had a great date with Miss Michelle Fortune :) where we had a great and Amazing Race, to which we forfeited due to injury.. but the fun and enjoyment lived for the rest of the night as we played Curses, Apple to Apples and Just Dance on the Wii. great date with such a great friend :)

Farewell

tis the season to bid farewell to close friends as they leave to serve full time missions :) this past sunday i said goodbye to Elder Andres Lattanzio who reports to the MTC this wednesday :) to him i say thanks for setting a great example to me :) see you in 2+years brother!

School..

....
HA! well i want it to be over.. a little less than a week and a half left :) projects are coming up, papers are due, and tests are approaching.. and yet i don't stress like i should.. someday i will learn. i hope. :) i'm keeping it positive.. :)

My Mission

sigh.. i still await for an interview with my stake president.. i've been waiting for a month now.. which kinda sucks. as you all may know i really just want to serve a mission. if i could i'd leave tomorrow i would.. but i can't.. my time hasn't come yet.. but soon enough.. :)

Final Thoughts :)

life is so wonderful. i am blessed. i am most definitely crazy. i am a procrastinator. i need to learn more. i need to leave this country. i need to leave this blog and continue on projects..


see you the next time i want to procrastinate on homework :)

parking lot parties :)

BAHAHA

parking lot parties are the BEST :)

last night, the bruin ballroom company had their awesome ballroom concert :)

concert was great, buut the after party was the BEST :)

Tia, Chelsea, Ashlyn and I had the most random, best, craziest parking lot party ever..
here are some video of dancing in the parking lot, dancing infront of cars stopped at the light, and other random things :) oh and you can't forget.. we made it facebook official..

we then decided to stop...

andd

go to WENDY'S :D

there we were loud and crazy.

pretty sure people looked at us like crazy.. 

bahaha :)

we had so much fun. 

and it was refreshing to my soul to just dance like a crazy man. :)

being with these crazy ladies made me feel young again.. ;)

BHAHA

so happy last night happened.. 

now i am back to college-like tasks.. 

a.k.a.

not dancing in the UofU parking lot..

i think if i did someone would call the popo.. :/ 

:)

no regrets

yesterday (april 5th, 2011), i had the wonderful opportunity

to audition for BYU Young Ambassadors.

it was such a wonderful experience:

i learned an AWESOME dance.

i learned AWESOME audition songs.

aaand

i made new friends :)

i didn't get a call back though.. 

but i don't regret 

ANYTHING

:)

which made me think of that one time my really good friend ashley told me something i wanted to be more concsious about..

i don't know you just have no inhibitions about going after hard things.

you risk failure in order to succeed. it's a good quality :)

although i did not make a callback i am happy i went after a hard thing

and had fun doing so :) 

april fools

i know, i know. its been like 5 whole days since april fools day, but i have to post about the awesome prank Freshman Council played of E-Cab :)

blessings :)

 

you never really know how blessed you are until someone or something puts it into perspective. 

to quote my good friend Elder Eldridge in one of his recent letters from the Philippines, 

"One last thought, Well while living here I have seen so many people struggling daily to earn money for food, to live. They live in dirt huts, eat a hand full of rice a day, and yet so many of them recognize that handful of rice as a blessing, I have been humbled so much and recognized how much I took the everyday blessings of life in America for granted. I did not appreciate running water until I had to shower with a bucket and a little ladle. I did not appreciate my family, my friends, and my religion. I would encourage all of you to count your blessings... the poor conditions these wonderful people live in and I'd challenge you to recognize your blessings and how easy you truly do have it."
