Internships

This past week was full of things to do. School isn't what made me so busy but all the other things that I needed to do. So it was a good week to be busy with things outside of school because I didn't have any school to do. I hope that made sense to whoever reads this stuff. I was able to get in touch with some companies about being hired on for an intern this next summer. I had some good looks with a couple of companies from Texas. Some were from San Antonio and another in Houston. I think it will be nice to go back to Texas for an internship. Houston isn't that close to San Antonio but it is a lot closer than Provo. I am not even sure why I want to go back to San Antonio anyway. I just feel that it will be a good option. I am not even sure if I am 100 percent convinced that it is the best option either. But I do know that the chance to go out to Houston will be exactly what I am looking for. So I guess I will just have to wait and see where my life takes me. I do have to admit that think this point of my life is pretty exciting.

Just a college weekend

I had a really bummer weekend. I didn't do much. pretty much all of my friends went to St. George to go ski diving at a reasonable price and I couldn't because I had to take a test. It was pretty bad actually. I studied all day Friday to go and do so-so on a test. It turned out OK in the end because other people pulled me away from the books on Saturday to play games at night. I also had time to do some service and a date in the afternoon. But I know that I would have loved to have went skydiving. I guess there will be another time for that.

Me and Dating

I have always liked dating. If you know me even a little bit you will know that I am thinking about who I will take out every weekend all week long. Or least it is on the back of mind. Not everyone is like this though. I know plenty of guys that are OK with not going on a single date for three weeks. Why am I like this? I am not sure but I have a few opinions. First opinion is simply because I would rather have a plan of what could happen during the weekend as opposed to asking to be a part of someone elses weekend. I will explain this in the least boring way possible. I like to be in control of my own life. That doesn't mean that I want to control others too, because anyone that knows me knows that I am a very passive guy. I make a conscious effort to not be intense with anyone. But I like to have an agenda of all my activities and assignments of the day. If I ask someone to do something with me then I am expected to have the plan and I like that. Second is that I feel a personal obligation to make girls feel special. Some girls seem to feel good when I playfully flirt with them even though we both know that we could never be together and others just like to have someone with whom they can talk about whatever. But the ones that I am interested in will usually know within the first couple of minutes or two from knowing them because I am so forward. I have straight out told people many times. These are a few reasons why I think about women all the time. As you can see I didn't have much else to wright about. So enjoy my jabbering!

Have you ever wondered what it was like for Moses or Nephi to hike up the mountain to listen to the words of the prophets? Well, yesterday some friends and I hiked up the mountain to listen to conference. It was a great experience. We found a great spot amongst trees with pink leaves and laid blanks out so we could eat lunch and listen at the same time. I wondered a few things as I was walking up the mountain. How was it for Moses who didn't have a pair of comfortable Nike's to walk up a steep lope with a lot of loose rocks and brush that scratches and pokes your skin. Yeah, I know it is a random thought but it put in perspective for me what people did to listen to the word of the Lord. I can count my blessing when I wake up at 9:55 am to turn on the T.V. just in time for the opening prayer before the Prophets portray to us what the Lord wants us to know. This was a great experience at the end of the week especially because this past week was so busy with tests and meetings with all the companies that came out for the career fair. I had to be at the top of my game all week long. I must say that the word of the Lord is worth a hike up the mountain, not just because it is a cool idea but for the experience of making the peaceful rest after the hike while you bask in the comfort of the word of the Lord.
