So close...

Well, my paper did get finished and turned in a week ago. It was nice to get it over with and pretty much be able to cruise through the last 3 weeks of school. Cruise in my mind means that I'm not stressed on writing a paper or cramming for an exam.

I'm still working on my video...which is more fun for me because it's about snowboarding. I was in editing for 9 hours on Tuesday. Pretty ridiculous but I got a lot done. I'll be at school editing more for the next week...I need to do a lot more detailed stuff now. Like color correction, some cool transition/edits, and type stuff. Should be a good time. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on it already!

Then after that, I only have my Law final, which is all hypothetical essay type questions but is also open book and notes. Sooooooo, I mostly just have to mark my book and study over a few things (maybe).

I need to get my announcements out soon too. I'll probably work on those this weekend and hopefully get them in the mail by Monday.

Other than that...I'm trying to look for an internship anywhere. And maybe a second job. And still hoping for Hawaii...or I've even been considering New Zealand (if I can get a work visa). Who knows...I'll probably be stuck in Utah for the summer. Hello hot desert wasteland.

The Process of Writing a Paper

Well...I'm halfway through with this paper. Just over 2 pages into it and feeling good. My thesis and background is set. I need to work on my arguments a little more though, hence this break. My arguments have to be awesome. At least I think so, since I'm proving that a case was ruled wrongly.

Sorry for the bore. If you want to check out the case, I'm going against check this out: Hosty v. Carter. It's not the actual court documents that I'm using, but it gives a good overview. Very controversial...and in my opinion, obviously in the wrong. Which is the very reason I chose it, over others of course!

Anyways, I'm going to get some dinner to give my brain some rest and my stomach some real food instead of all this Easter candy.

Dead Computer = Stress

My computer decided to die today. Or at least inhibit me from using it for awhile. I think it may have gotten a virus because the internet has been acting weird for the last week or two. I ran some tests on it (because I'm a nerd and know how to do that at least). It looks like the memory is having a lot of issues...and I hope that all my pictures, projects and everything are ok. I would be devastated. I actually tried to back everything up last night because I had a feeling this would happen. BUT it wouldn't read my external hard drive and kept saying it had to be reformatted (which would erase everything on there). No good. I haven't backed things up since before last summer...so Hawaii pics, football stuff, school projects to use in my portfolio, etc. would all be gone if we can't recover them. :(

And my computer has such awesome timing as well...I have my last college paper due on Thursday. A 5 page law paper arguing against a case. So I'm using Mal's laptop tonight...THANKS MAL! Lifesaver for sure. I'll probably work on it at school if I have to tomorrow. And once this paper is out of the way, I'll work on getting my laptop fixed.

But good news is I've just figured out my thesis and how I'm approaching the paper. Always the hardest part for me when writing...I like to have things organized before I dive in and write it. So now to find all my backup and points...

No need to waste more time and STRESS!

The Future (aka this summer)

I ordered my graduation announcements! It's so close! One month from tomorrow I graduate!

I've been looking for an internship and I just got an email back for an interview with a video production company. So exciting! We'll see what happens with that.

I also got an email from Wainani in Hawaii. I taught her kids swim lessons all summer. She was hoping I was coming back. I told her that I wouldn't be able to unless I got a job first. She's going to check on jobs at Surfer magazine for me. It would really be an awesome surprise if things worked out and I did get to go back. Everyone that I was friends with over there has contacted me to see if I was coming for the summer again. I'll cross my fingers.

April News

I got a job! I'm now working at Red Mango. It's a frozen yogurt place that's super healthy. I'm excited to have any job at this point, but I think it will be fun.

I've been busy snowboarding in all the new powder! It's been amazing.

Rocking a sweet goggle tan!

School is wrapping up and I have tons of things to get done this month (my last in school). Test, 5 page paper, editing and a little more filming for my video final, and then a law final. Doesn't sound like a ton but they're all time consuming for sure. I graduate in ONE month!

I went on a little adventure to Gen X clothing with my friend Josh. He needs long XL shirts because he's so tall and he was super excited when I told him about this ghetto fab clothes store. He found his shirts and I found some super comfy men's v-necks (my new favorite style - they're easy, plain and really comfortable...oh and cheap). I decided to look around in the girls...though none of the clothes really appeal to my taste (I'd rather wear a looser guys shirt). But I spotted these mannequins...pregnant mannequins. LOL. This is not a maternity store! It's more of a place for teenagers and such. Josh and I were both pretty amused. And I HAD to get a picture.
