I made it!
(And I realize that I am a couple weeks late. School has been so fun. I have many classes with my previously mentioned friends. I couldn't be happier. Life is good.)

Nail-Biter
Tomorrow's the big day. The potentially best/potentially worst day of my life. Yikes.
Rather than think about how tomorrow could change my life, I want to (need to) divert my attention. One appropriate outlet is watching the olympics. But I can only watch a game that I don't understand for so long. Seriously, swords make that sport sound so much cooler than it is.
Perhaps a more appropriate diversion, no offense, would be to think of how the days that have led up to tomorrow have changed my life. I submit the following:
I doubt it was fate (but maybe karma) that placed me in four classes with Manasseh, two classes with Regan, and one class (and lots of "extra-curricular" activities) with Rory. You get to know each other really well when stripped of all pride and confidence by your teachers, and then forced to stay awake until 2 o'clock. Luckily, they still liked the pride-less, tired me, and friendship ensued. Surviving last winter semester would've been impossible without them. I'll never forget walking through that trailer door and seeing them hard at work... It was beautiful. Talk of pizza parties, New Kids on the Block videos, random Misfits sing-alongs, a real pizza party, the notes we left on the board, bags of candy, dogging on others' "really well-designed" magazines... That time Rory took his shirt off... No matter what happens tomorrow, it wasn't all for nothing! It was worth every minute.
They are all great, and they, equally as anxiously as I, await the news tomorrow. In fact tonight, I got a good-luck email from Rory, a blog post/animation thing from Regan, and a phone call from Manasseh. They are the best.
Tomorrow is the day. But regardless of what happens, I have made some great friends, which might even be more important than a BFA degree... might. So thanks fellas. I couldn't have done it without you (nor would I want to). Besides, didn't we say "all or nothing?"

Awkward Second Post
I haven't touched my "blog" lately. Mainly for 2 reasons:
1. I set myself up for an awkward second post. I'll just say it, I wasn't accepted into design school. My second post was going to be celebratory, where I would announce the beginning of this new chapter. But i was rejected, forced into taking another class in the spring and reapplying in August. I have fixed what was deemed wrong by my potential professors and am hopeful and confident about the August review.
2. My life doesn't deserve to be the subject of a web site. Even if it is just a Blogger, making my life the subject would be pointless. I don't live far away from my friends or family, so a run in at the grocery store is more than enough time for those people to catch up on my life. I will probably mention things that are happening, and you'll probably get a glimpse of where I'm going and what I'm into by the things I post. I think baby pictures are great so I'll probably post pictures of my nephew too. And I will have my own stuff up here for your pleasure and opinion as well. What I'm saying is that this won't be a detailed blog about me, or gossip (unless it's really juicy), or other boring things. So until now, I haven't had a reason to post. But today I found this picture of Robert Downey Jr.

following the crowd, again.
Yesterday morning, I, along with 3 of my closest friends applied to the Graphic Design program here at BYU. Since then i have not been able to function. I still have finals but all I can think about is getting an email from the secretary telling me when i can go pick up my letter of acceptance (or rejection).
All the kids i applied with were like, "i mentioned you on my blog." so i was like, "i'm totally going to start my own."
So here it is.
I can't wait to start posting and gossiping about my friends Rory, Regan, and Manasseh. I'll be sure to write all about the drama that we go through in our newest chapter in life: Design School. Watch for a new reality TV show, probably on MTV.
Love you.
