Pimp My Blog

I am looking at the plain blackness of my blog and it sickens me. Can anyone help me? All 3 of you who read this... do you know anyone who can hook me up with some sweet blog decor???

I think it must be a rule at UVU that to be a math teacher, you must have a foreign accent. Every math class I have ever had came with a difficult to understand teacher from some foreign country (currently Russia) and it makes learning very difficult. I already have a short attention span when it comes to math, so throwing in someone who is difficult to understand, no matter how good they are at math, makes my (and I believe many others') learning process very tiring and difficult. We are having a test in two days, and I don't understand anything. I asked a question, and the teacher doesn't seem to understand what I am needing to know. If I fail this test (which I won't), I'll know why. Don't get me wrong though, I am not saying we shouldn't hire foreign teachers, but at least hire someone who speaks intelligibly.

I am also in pursuit of another job. Options I am considering are:
1. The MTC (difficult, but good pay and its kind of like being a missionary again!)
2. Saving up money as much as possible, getting another student loan, and hunting an internship.
3. Working with Dan at this Catering place (he doesn't know that I want that.... so maybe that won't work)

If anyone is hiring in Provo with a pay higher than $9 an hour (minimum), please contact me... please!

Correcting Political Correctness.

I suck a english research papers.

here is a sample of mine

"We live in a country built on revolutionary principles. The Founding Fathers had a vision of a country where a man could speak his mind without fear of a King or Dictator stopping you. Free Speech, in other words. When the Bill of Rights was put into effect on December 15, 1791, they assumed that no man would be able to erroneously interpret their dreams of the first truly free country. That, however, did not hold true. Free Speech has become Free Speech with certain limits, almost a list of “things you can say” and “things you cannot say”."

Fast Weeks, General Conference, and French Toast

Well there we have it. One more conference weekend. My first one back in the states!! For the saturday morning session we made french toast! (Correction... Dan did) They were delicious! I enjoyed each session, but especially the sunday ones. And is it just me, or does Elder Holland just make you wanna go to Salt Lake with a Book of Mormon and just slam it in some anti-mormon guys' face? He gets me so psyched up to bear testimony. I think that is way God has put him in a place where his voice can be heard. Wow.... simply wow. I noticed that a common theme throughout conference was love and revelation. Do you think God us trying to tell us something? Mens hearts must truly be failing them if the prophets are all speaking on how much we need to love others, especially those close to us.

This week just blew by. It seems like yesterday I was one my couch with Kelsey Mordue watching longboard videos when in reality that was seven days ago! Between work, tests, and other things these 7 days just blew on by!

This week, Verona makes its musical debut at the Gateway, and I couldn't be more nervous and excited! Thursday at 6:00 PM come see us!!!! It should be a good one. We are playing a lot of great music so come give us a look!

Sorry, no interesting rants today.... its sunday! Gotta keep it chill. Tchau!
