Makin' Progress

Well, 2011 is here! 2010 was a doozy. Let me give you a recap:

Winer semester:

In January I moved to The Ridge. This is one of the nicest apartment complexes in Rexburg. What makes it nice is that each unit is HUGE and has two fridges, which is nice when you have 6 guys in one place. I did well in my classes and got straight A's once again.

Summer semester:

This was a big semester for me because I had 16 credits and a couple of those were really hard classes. I was on a program at my school that lets me go to all three of the semesters they offer rather than the regular two they usually allow you to attend. The problem is that in order to be on this program you have to take 15 credits or more and with the classes I had left, that was going to be too much. I ended up getting 1 or 2 B's for the first time in my college career and decided it was time for me to scale things back. I got off the program which meant during the Fall semester I wouldn't be able to take any classes.

I got a job at Wingers to make some money now that I would be able to get my scholarship or grants anymore. (You need to be taking 14 credits or more to receive free money)

Fall semester:

I worked as much as I could and end up making enough to pay alot of my bills for the next semester. I had some awesome roommates and partied a ton! But all good things must come to an end. As the semester came to a close I decided to part ways with The Ridge. The apartment it self was awesome but there wasn't a great social scene there and the management was horrible. To people considering it as their new home: caution. I moved back to the old complex I used to live at and I'm rooming with some way cool guys that I roomed with at The Ridge.

I went home for a week during Christmas and decided it was time for me to get a car. I had been driving a scooter which was awesome for the summer but for 7 months of the year up here it is snowy so it wasn't to practical considering I'm looking to get married one of these days. With the help of my friend Mark Orwig I was able to buy a 2007 Honda Civic coupe for an amazing price! I absolutely love the car and I just know the honeys are gonna come runnin'!

Now:

I'm typing this from my new bedroom. It's small but nice. I'm nervous for classes to start this week but I'm gonna do my best and that's all I can do! I'll try to keep you updated as the semester/year progresses. I have a feeling it's gonna be a big one.
