The Waiting Game

So here I am, Friday night, waiting for a kid to call me. I need to get some quotes from him for an article that I'm writing for the school paper. I've already had 3 articles in this semester, and it just adds to the stress level that I already have thanks to my other classes. Oh well.

I went down to Salt Lake on Tuesday with a group of about 15 students for the Intermountain Sports and Entertainment Fair. All the sports teams in the Salt Lake area were there, like the Jazz, the Bees, the Real Salt Lake and some others that aren't as prominent. Well, I was expecting a lot more out of it haha. When we got there, our group made up about 1/3 of the people there haha, and instead of booths, there were just plain tables set up with a piece of paper on it that said what team that person represented. I talked to a few teams,  but the team that I talked with the most was the Jazz. They only have 1 internship they are looking for at the moment, and it's in sales. The guy seemed to like me and gave me his business card and told me to send another resume if I was interested. So we'll see what happens with that, it's probably a pretty competitive internship. I have been planning on going to Reno this summer with my roommate Luke to install security systems for APX, it'll probably still happen.

After the business fair was over, my Aunt Alison picked me up and we went out to eat and I got some amazing Thai food, only the second time I've had Thai, it was amazing! After that, Alison dropped me off at Energy Solutions Arena (formerly known as the Delta Center) and I went to a Jazz game. The Jazz played the Grizzlies, so we were expecting it to be a lame game, but the Grizzlies made it close. 

I came back to Rexburg on Wednesday and had to get back into school after having 5 days off.  It's kind of hard getting back into it after that many days off, but whatever. It's still school, I still don't like it a whole lot, but I only have 1 year left, so that's good at least.

Well, that kid still hasn't called me, he said he would around 7:00 and now it is 8:00, what a punk haha, jk. My editor isn't gonna be so happy if I can't get my story done haha, oh well, I already did a small article for this week, it might be enough to make her
 happy. I'm thirsty, time for a drink, laters!

Jazz win!

Oh, It's February

Well, I decided to put another entry in. It's been a few days and the Super Bowl has come and gone. What I expected to happen did. I'm pretty proud of myself, the Super Bowl preview story I wrote for the school paper was almost dead on to what happened in the game, oh yeah! But now that football is over, I want baseball to start already haha. 

Something to look forward to is a trip I have coming up to Salt Lake. In a week and a half I'm gonna go down with a bunch of students who are interested in working around athletic teams. We're gonna go to a Jazz game and then go to a job fair that'll have all the sports teams in the area, including the Jazz, the Real Salt Lake, the athletics departments from BYU, U of U and Utah State, the Salt Lake Bees, and I think 1 or 2 others. I'm pretty excited about that. I would love to work for just one team, so it'll be interesting to see what all the different teams have to say.

Oh yeah, something new started up too in my life, dodgeball!!!! We had our first game of the semester yesterday, and we won of course. But it's really funny how into it some people get, just like the kid we played against yesterday. He started getting mad, so we started laughing at him, which made him even more angry. One time he kicked a ball really hard and it was hilarious. I was like "Wow! Did you see how hard he kicked that!?" hahaha! Then he kept on talkin' crap and one of my teammates told him to shut up and play, and after that he put his finger in my teammates face and said "Don't tell me to shut up!" Haha, that was funny too. So we are 1-0, we didn't play that great, but good enough for the win. Our team also wears ugly vests, it's funny haha, I went and got mine at the D.I. haha, it's niiiiiiiiiice. 

School is kind of a pain at the moment, but I'm pushing through it. I can't wait for it to be over with. I like being in Rexburg, but I don't like doing the school work. How weird haha. Oh well.

Tomorrow there'll be a concert here in Rexburg. It'll be a benefit concert for a girl that goes to school here that had a vein burst in her head while she was in a class. I'm going for sure, to support the girl and to hear some good music, Allred is playing, they're pretty good, i've listened to them online.

But speaking of music, recently I've been listening to a lot of Muse. The song I've been listening to the most is Supermassive Black Hole, it's pretty rockin'. And during Christmas break, I saw the music video for Knights of Cydonia for the first time, and it was one of the sweetest music videos I've ever seen haha, it's pretty epic. 



Well, I'll leave it at that, I'm pretty proud of this entry, it's some-what long haha.
