Working and having fun!

Hey Yall,

This week I've learned that I love working where I work. Where do I work? Western Nut Company. What do I do? I work with Boxes. Lots and lots of Boxes. I pack boxes. I unpack boxes. Load boxes, unload boxes, move boxes, make boxes, brake boxes, etc. I love boxes. Did I mention I count boxes too?

Haha, no. It's not exactly that all the time. We also prepare the stations of nuts that go out to stores for the holiday season, drive trucks, count products and even do some shipping. My Boss is pretty awesome. He gets stressed, but he's still a great guy who really knows how to say what he wants you to understand. :) He sometimes doesn't understand what you're trying to say, but it's just important that the job gets done. I also work with a guy who is always trying to set me up on dates. He's a funny guy who personally declares himself evil. Why, I don't know.

The best part about work? I feel like I'm part of the crew. We come from so many different backgrounds: ex-missionaries, weekend drunks and young guns from California among many more. However, that does not affect how well we interact with each other. I feel like we're friends, even though we hardly know each other. I have to thank them for that. :)

So, if you ever wonder what to do at work, have a nice conversation with your coworkers and find common points in your lives. Thank them for what they do. :) I thank all of my good friends, Family and coworkers for what they do.

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American." With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly. Am I really proud to be an American? Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
