Taking a Breather

My Dear Little Blog, it's here! 

No more classes to rush to! Well.. at least for the rest of this week. Yes yes, it's the first of the beautiful stretch of days that occurs sporadically throughout the school year we humble students refer to as, "holiday breaks." And what I love so dearly about this particular one, is that there's absolutely NO reason (holiday-wise) to have it. None besides the fact that it is in fact, fall. But DLB, do you know what that means? Yours truly has now been back in school for an entire seven and a half weeks.

Your stunned silence speaks worlds.

You did truly hear me say the words: seven and a half weeks? If this were a true or false quiz and you were asked the question, "Has Joey really completed an entire seven and a half weeks of school?" you would answer, "True!" and you would get an A+! Seven and a half weeks gone. Moving so slowly, yet in a blink.  And still roughly seven and a half weeks remains in the semester. But need we worry about that future at the moment? I insist, no.

The future I'm concerned with right now consists of a leisurely drive up the scenic I-15 through the mountains and valleys of Utah and Idaho to the quaint town of Rexburg. Awaiting me there is my dear sister and friend, along with a flag football game, a rodeo, and a corn maze, plus other untold adventures that lie hidden, ready to catch us unawares. Oh happy day! A day that could only be made better by my roommates and certain friends accompanying me on this trip. Alas....

They go to BYU...

Caption? Ya'll know what I'm trying to say.

Down time, I am on my way.

Decisions.. decisions

For the longest time, I've joked about becoming a music major. There was always a half-serious note to these comments, but lately I've been wondering if something I could actually do. For various reasons:

-I love music
-I'm drawn to music like a moth to flames
-I love music
-I'm not too bad at it
-I would like to devote more time to it
-The people in the music program are AWESOME
-Imagining a life with a career music and teaching it to others is wonderful
-Did I mention I love music?

However, my dilemma has always been.. English. My current major. For various reasons:

-I love reading
-I get a kick outta picking meaning out of literature
-I love reading
-Discussing literature is a good time for me
-Sharing books and writing with other people happens to be a passion of mine
-I like creating something out of a bunch of words
-DID I mention that I love reading??

So you see my dilemma? I know it's killer. But as I've been praying about this and talking with various people, I've begun to realize that maybe I could do both. Double major in both and then get an advanced degree in teaching? Maybe? Possibly?

Hmmmmmm...

Well it's not a for sure thing quite yet, but it is definitely a consideration. Leaning waaayy towards yes. Just saying. We'll see.

Done!

Holy cow! Got my sociology project in with minutes to spare, after staying up all night working on it. I had to use a lot of pictures for it, and these two I thought were the best. (My topic was the effect of religion in society) It was kinda fun, ya know besides the staying up all night and stuff.

My favorite part about the first one is the boy in the blue overalls. Who doesn't feel like that when they're on their way to school!? His face MAKES that picture. The second pic is basically my thought process. If I had enough room for a ginormous sign in my room that's what it would say.
