I don't know how those crazy scientists did it. How did Einstein understand the laws of the universe? How did Newton figure out his little laws of motion? (I especially like F=ma) My physics professor was talking about how Mozart started writing minuets at age 5. Wait a second, age 5? Is that possible. Most kids are worried about pooping at age 5 let alone writing music. Anyways, back to my professor. He was talking about how Mozart, like Einstein and Newton were born with this great understanding of music and science, respectively. So, this made me wonder. What was I born for? Do I have some hidden thing deep inside me somewhere just waiting to be discovered? or am I just a regular guy trying to make my way? I kinda wish for the first of the two. What is it though? When will I find it? No, I'm not talking about what I will do for a living for the rest of my life. I want to know if there is one thing that I just really understand naturally without much effort. I have always seen myself as a sort of Jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none kind of guy so it makes me wonder. Do I have the mental capacity to discover some fundamental law of physics or write an opera or develop some new medical procedure? I hope so, but it's hard to imagine. I guess it'll be a little bit difficult until I can at least get the basic scientific knowledge part under my belt right? I'm working on it don't worry.

I am pretty sure this year was my greatest birthday ever. I was planning on a nice quiet dinner with my folks. I actually was pretty excited about it. But.....what I got was so much better. I walked into my parents house oblivious to what was about to happen. I rounded the corner and received the typical "surprise!" of a surprise party. I looked into a room of all of the people that I care for the most. All of my best friends were there. It really was a fantastic feeling. It was an awesome night. I got to spend time with some fun people. I got amazing gifts that I totally didn't expect at all. Overall, it really was just a good day. Aimee, you did a really really good job with this one. I usually catch on to this kind of thing. I usually suspect something cause I hear or see something. But, I gotta give it to you, you're good. Thank you!
On a side note I put in my two weeks today at my job. It was scary and I was really nervous about it because they really have been good to me hear. It has been a fairly decent job. But, now that it's sent (even though I don't know if my bosses have seen it) I feel pretty calm about it. It'll be hard to leave the good money and some of the people, but I think it's for the better. I've gotta reach out and take a chance and be adventurous and all that, right? It'll work out.
On yet another note I started my physics class today. It's going to be intense, but I think I will certainly like it. I'm a nerd what can I say.
She's really good!
I'm sitting at work in an office. On the East side of the office where I sit, there are huge windows that wrap around the entire side of the room. We're four stories up so we are taller than anything around. I have the most amazing view of the mountains. It is amazing the grandeur that they display. It makes me feel so small and insignificant. They are simply beautiful. I am amazed at not only the incredible Utah landscape, but how much people don't appreciate it. Why in the world are the blinds closed when I get here everyday? Why in the crap do people stand up and shut the blinds for no apparent reason in the middle of the afternoon when the view is at its best? Why? Because I work with a bunch of ungrateful, pessimistic, ignorant people. I hate my job, but why do they have to take this one joy that I get out of working here away from me? Those mountains are the only happiness I can find in this little office. I often dream of finding some new trail while I am sitting at my desk pecking at my keyboard. I am convinced that they shut those blinds just to spite me. Boo.
Admiring the greatness of those Wasatch mountains puts me into Captain Planet mode. Landscapes such as this one deserve honor and respect but all we do is tear it down in a scrambled effort to make as much profit as possible. I am just one small being in this immense planet. Can one person really make a difference? Does it matter if I throw my candy wrapper on the ground, or don't pick up that piece of trash as I walk by? It may not seem like much looking at the whole, but it helps. It may just be small gesture, but it helps. Every single little effort helps. Will I single-handedly save the planet? Perhaps no. But I can certainly tell you I will feel good about doing what I could to keep it beautiful a little while longer.
My ignorant co-workers may not see it, but this earth truly is an amazingly beautiful place. Our job is to keep it that way.
It feels great to finally be done with this semester. Mostly it was enjoyable but there were a few moments here and there that were nigh unbearable. But, I'm officially done. My last final was today and it seriously is a huge weight off my shoulders. I'm sure all of you college-going folk know exactly what I'm talking about.
And tomorrow we're headin' to Boise, Id. to visit the in-laws and see one of the most amazing things ever-the baptism of an eight-year-old child. I seriously can't wait.
So, see you all in a few day. I'm out.
