One Thing

Dear Reader,

I wish it was possible to type fast enough so as to keep up with the speed my brain goes. Think how nice it would be being able to write every single word that comes across your mind, in addition to monitoring and editing those words at the same time.

This is made difficult when one thing is on your mind. One Direction sings a song called "One thing" in which they sing about how the girl has that "One thing" that no one else has. I can imagine having that on your mind would make it very difficult to be able to communicate yourself well and type as fast as you think. If that didn't make sense, don't worry. It made sense in my head.

Alas, I can only write as fast as my fingers will let me. This allows for many thoughts to drift by and soon be forgot in the vast abyss called the unconscious. I wonder where those thoughts go. Anyway, I write to you about what is going on as of late. My roommate is having an Art Show today which is really cool. His family is really awesome, too. He, my other roommate and I are going to be moving in to our new apartment today. That will be fun. It will be interesting living as six guys in one apartment. It will be the first time in a long time for me to have to arrange shower schedules in the morning. Right now I can get up anytime before 10 and get in the shower no problem. Now we will have to coordinate our class schedules and whatnot to shower in order.

In other news, there are some changes here at work as well. Today is the last day for a couple of our coworkers, Linda and Jared. I didn't get to work alongside them much, but it was a blast while it lasted. :) They are both called to serve full-time missions in the next couple months. They will be back in the MTC, just as residents and not attendants!

My social life is going to take both a positive and negative spin during spring semester. On the up side, I won't have one because every one will be gone home for the summer or on missions! On the down side, I won't have one because every one will be gone home for the summer or on missions. That's both a pro and a con because it means I will have time to do my homework but I will miss my favorite people in the whole entire world! Luckily I will still be around my awesome roommates and it will be a new opportunity to make some new friends as well. It will be a change, that is for sure.

Again, that one thing is passing through, so it is hard to type as fast as my mind thinks. Hopefully you have a good day!

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...
