2008

I decided that I wanted to let you know how my 2008 year went.

Work

To start off the new year I got to start off with a new job. Micah my brother was kind enough to hook me up with a job at LogoWorks. It was pretty nice of him to let me work around him. Before I was worked at logoworks, Micah tried to get me to go work for him, but I declined because I loved my job and then they sucked at collecting money and had they had to let me go. So, I was thankful that Micah let me have a job opportunity. Logoworks was fun, but, I sucked at selling. I wanted so bad to do well, and, it never happened. I stayed there for about four months and I had to let it go, due to bad performance and school was breathing down my throat.
After school and quiting my job, I then gave plasma for a good month or two faithfully. I was able to find a job as a waiter at a hotel restaurant and they had to let me go because I didn't perform well and I didn't take the job serious which is true. I also found a job doing soccer camps and that was a blast! During the summer it was hard to earn money and find a good job. The summer was ending and I still didn't have a solid job.
I decided to really look into myself and was thinking about my career options. Since I wanted to be a teacher, I decided to look into a job as a teacher. I found a job as a Teachers Assistant for the special needs program at Timpanogos High School. I'm grateful that I got this job because this is a way for me to start my life and start building my resume. I am thankful that I have a solid job that I am happy at. I've had this job since August and it has been great!

School.

2008 spring semester wasn't my best. I took Biology, English 2010, Math 1010, and Music history. I tried really hard in Biology and failed because I blanked out on each test. English 2010 I failed because my teacher was a terrible teacher and he didn't like me because I constantly argued his points of view and how he was so bad at keeping track of his assignments.
After failing math 1010 last semester I passed this semester and I also had a better teacher. Music theory was easy and it was an easy grade.
2008 Fall I passed all my classes. I took racquetball, ethics and values, English 2010, development of the adolescent. I was so stressed that I wouldn't pass my English class again and also ethics and values. I am glad I passed every one of them and it rocked! I was actually shocked that I passed all of them because I didn't think I had smarts for the classes I took.
For 2009 I am only taking one course and it is Math 1050. I hope I pass this class.

Love Life

I did date and nothing but heart ache is there. I find it hard for me to date, because I fall so fast. I've had a lot of none-committal cuddles. but nothing has worked out. I did find this girl that I still think is amazing, but she doesn't want me in her life, so I don't get to talk to her anymore. She swept me off my feet and I got to kiss her and it was awesome! I went to California to visit her, a 350 dollar investment in a relationship, and I totally got dumped. I'm glad I got to have a good time with her but I'm not the one for her. I did take a girl on a couple dates and she wasn't the one for me because she got married within 2 weeks after our last date. Right now I wish I was actually interested in girls but that's not going to happen for a while.

Activities.

I went to moab for spring break and went jeeping, hiking and camping. I had a blast. I went snowboarding for the first time in my life and loved it. and I took up racquetball and I have progressed in that sport. I also gave a talk to the graduating 2008 class of seminary about institute. That was way cool! I've done some hiking and camping. I've longboarded and had some fun. Oh, went I went to Cali to visit the girl I liked, she took me surfing! Though I wasn't able to get up, I still had a blast!

That is a sum up of this year and I just hope that this year will be better!
