Back to Noah's.


Yes, I am back to working at Noah's for two months. Good thing I am sick of eating all the food there, otherwise I would probably be in danger of gaining a few pounds. The food there is pretty good, but there's only so much of it you can eat before experiencing adverse effects. Anyways, it's good to be back working with the old crew for a little bit. It's a very flexible job and easy to pick up where I left off, so I'm glad that I have it!

The end of tax season!

the end of tax season has finally come for me! well at least the end of personal tax season and it will be great to have a full free weekend for the first time in weeks.

I thought I should write a celebratory haiku to recognise the occasion and recognise the end for all of the three university kids as well who just finished their exams and finally have a wee break for a while.

Endless stacks of woe
Sinking fast into despair
The end brings grand bliss

Some other guy's blog

Thought this was pretty funny - it's from some other guy's blog who I follow from time to time.

Sometimes pranks at church can be funny.
Like one time in my old ward, I started messing around with my Ward Clerk and one week I paid my month’s tithing in pennies.
So then each week, when he was going around counting people during sacrament meeting, when he got to me, he would start counting audibly and was like "eighty, eighty one, eighty two, (points at me) eighty two and A HALF..."
So then one week I changed the program so instead of saying he was the ward clerk, it said he was the ward jerk.
So then one week he transferred my records to some ward in Idaho.
So the next week I put a whoopee cushion on his chair in Elder’s Quorum.
But then the next week we found out he had been stealing the ward’s tithing money and he was probably going to get excommunicated.
I didn’t quite get that last one, but it just goes to show that sometimes pranks at church can go too far.

The End


So I finally came to an end of finals. It seems like everybody was stressed for finals this year. I have to say that my last couple of years of undergrad were really not stressful but first year law definitely was. 100% Finals in a couple of classes covering everything you've studied from September to April. Hundreds and hundreds of hours of lecture, reading and studying compressed into 2.5 hours of heart wrenching suspense, drama (even a little mystery when you had no idea what the question was about) and anxiety. I think the most stressful thing about it was the unknown I just really didn't know what to expect for the finals how I would handle it, how to manage the time etc. Next year probably wouldn't be quite as stressful, at least I hope not. All I can say is I'm finally glad it's over and hopefully I didn't fail property.

Passages






Great to see rico and rach in transition for the summer. They were on MI for a few days, and it was like turning back the clock. Thanks for a great few days, guys. Rach is slinging bagels on MI for a few weeks, and Rico couldn't give up BYU so he is back for spring term. Congratulations to student family members for another successful year of higher education. And we love it when any of you can pass through on your many exciting travels. Luv, Gramps

Another Post to try to keep up

Ok so I am 3 posts behind and I really couldn't think of much to write about. So I thought about posting this video I found. I know Christmas was like 4 months ago or is still 8 months away depending on how you want to look at it. But I thought this video showed how even stubborn people can change. Maybe some of you have all ready seen it, maybe not. Hopefully the link works.
