5 Long Years

Dear Reader,

Yesterday I officially declared my major. Ever since starting school I had been listed as a Pre-Music Major, but now my transcripts and official records have Computer Science down on file. I took long enough, right? Well, it's been a grand time figuring out how long it will take to graduate. Looking the plan I made using the BYU MyMap system, I can graduate as early as 2016. That would only be 6 years since I started. Go figure. Graduation will possibly postponed until spring of 2017, but we will see how things go.

The most appropriate song to go along with this happy event is a spoof on the song "1000 Miles." The original song has little or no significance to me, but the spoof done by an Acappella group has pretty funny lyrics that are not far off from how planning a college graduation are. Here is a video with the lyrics posted out so you can read them.


It goes through and explains very well how you can plan do something and how something simple can completely change those plans. One of those change of plans is something my own mother asked me about.

She asked me about the commitment required by the University to go on a Study Abroad. She then asked about what would happen if I met a girl before going on said Study Abroad. I sarcastically answered, "She'll just have to wait for me!" I actually have no idea what will happen, but we will tackle that when we get there.

That is the plan for my academic career right now as well. For right now, I have a plan to graduate in December 2016. However, if something else comes up (Marriage, job opportunities, etc), I will just have to accept that I will be here for five long years.

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...

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...
