I made it through another test. Only two more and I am done with physics. It has been a busy summer Ill tell you that much, but it's nice to have it out of the way. A year's worth of physics classes done in 12 weeks. Can't really complain about that now can you? I actually feel okay about today's test which is something that hasn't happened for a couple of weeks. I'm glad it's the weekend and I can just relax. Tomorrow is Aimee's birthday. That should be a good time. I hope she likes her presents.
Anyways, just wanted to say a few words.
Keep on keepin' on.
I don't think I have ever appreciated the 4th of July more than I did this year. I guess spending a couple of years in a country where most of the people don't have much good to say about the U.S. will make you realize how good you've really got it here. This year I went with the wife and a few friends to camp out for the Freedom Festival parade in good ol' Provo, Utah. Of course I didn't sleep much considering all of the obnoxious people around us and the simple fact that I was trying to sleep on the side of the road. But, there is something special about thousands of people coming together to celebrate one great thing: Freedom. I won't lie that I didn't almost ball like a baby when a few floats passed by. Namely one that was honoring the military, firefighters, and the police. It really is an incredible thing to think that we are so free. We can say what we want, we can believe what we want, we can choose what we want to make of our lives. Is there really anything better than that? So, to all of those out there that are constantly complaining about war and government and all of that crap, take a step back for one second and just think about how good you have it. Try living in a third world country where your voice doesn't mean crap, where money, drugs, and corruption are what rules. Yeah, I know, war isn't great and people aren't perfect (especially politicians) but seriously, that's life. People aren't perfect. Deal with it. Luckily for us, our government leaders are changed pretty regularly. If you don't like em, don't vote for em. You have your voice. Use it or just shut up.
I feel like I have been absent to the blogging scene-like-forever. (It has been quite a while.) There are some new things going on in my little life though. I started working at a biochemistry research lab. It's pretty intense because I don't really know what's going on yet. I'm working with a Korean girl that doesn't speak English all that well so most of the time I am just really confused about what is going on. I hope I get it. It's really interesting stuff though. I'm loving it.
Today I had another physics test that kicked me straight in the brain. I did not do too great, that's for sure. Five more weeks and it's over though so I can't complain too much.
I'm really tired today because I didn't go to sleep until almost 2 a.m. because Aim and I randomly got to go to the Kenny Chesney concert last night. It was loads of fun. I tell you what, if you want to see some really funny people and maybe get a little self-esteem boost, go to a country music concert. Wow. In the words of the great Bill Engvall: "I saw people that could be their own dad." Good for a laugh at least, right?
It was because of Mat that we got to go. I seriously owe that man my life. The things he has done for me are just crazy. He got me my current job, took me to a concert, and is working on getting me another job. Seriously a good guy.
Well, I am done ranting for now. I have to get to work. Have a wonderful weekend and hopefully I'll be back real soon.
