It's the Morning report!

Dear Reader,

For those who haven't seen The Lion King as a live musical production, today's title comes from one of the first songs in the show when Zazu and Simba are talking with Mufasa about what is going on in the animal kingdom. I use it today because my morning report is not very good.

This morning I woke up incredibly late (About 10:45). I was not happy. Luckily, there was no pressing matter to attend to this morning. On the other hand, it is not the most pleasant experience to waste three or four hours in the morning on sleeping. If I had it my way everyday, which rarely happens, the morning report would look something like this:

7:00 AM - Wake up/Shower/Eat Breakfast
8:00 AM - Read for about an hour (Preferably from the scriptures)
9:00 AM - Write something. This something can be a letter to a missionary, a blog post or even an entry in a journal
10:00 AM through 4:00 PM - Whatever activity is pressing that day. This may include cleaning, reading for work, shopping for groceries, etc.

Typical morning report for my liking. That did not happen today. Instead, it looked something like this:

10:45 - Wake up/Shower
11:30 - Write on Blog
12:00 - Ride up to Orem for Work

Yeah...we are going to work on getting this stuff down for getting up at a reasonable hour. We will see what we can do about that.

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...
