Time for an update.
Let us start with School
Last semester was probably the biggest waste of time ever as far as school work goes. I honest to goodness can say that I learned next to nothing in all of my classes. I produced huge piles of BS one after another and received high marks of all of them.
In my Survey of Therapy Class I gave a group presentation, my partner and I only met 30 minutes prior to put our individual slides together (I spent about an hour on my slides, and the vast majority of that was spent finding funny pictures to put on the slides; the presentation was on preventative therapy and all the other presenters had pictures of beautiful people only on their slides, so I got pictures of some of the ugliest couples I could find to bring it back down to earth). Well, the teacher praised our presentation and we received full marks. This survey class was the class I was doing the worst in actually and I was a little nervous about the final. I ended up getting a 74% on the final, which mean I was a good guesser on some of the questions. With my grade in jeopardy I was relieved to know that there was extra credit. All we had to do was show the teacher that we had learned something in the class (dang) and we could get up to 35 extra points. He told us to get creative and would accept any medium. I decided to make some songs. I realized that with only 24 hours left I couldn’t write anything new, so I just changed the words of popular songs to reflect Marriage and Family Therapy approaches. I did three in total, Blackbird, The Scientist and Bad Romance. My roommate sang on Blackbird and the Scientist, and I got a girl I knew to sing bad romance. I was up until about 4 in the morning tweaking them, but I feel like they turned out fine. The biggest disappointment was that I accidently deleted the track when my female friend was singing in French. It was my proudest moment, writing song lyrics in french, but it is Lost and Gone Forever now, just like my favorite Guster album. After I turned it in I received praise from my teacher and full points, which gave me an A in the class. He then asked permission to use them in the future for teaching experiences and to show his peers.

I got my CDL Class B license. I failed my pre-trip the first time around. The only thing I forgot was a brake test, so I had to redo that part. I mastered the skills course and driving portion though. Fortunately I didn’t have to pay for the retest the guy just let me do it. He was nice.

I spent a lot of time with my older brother before I left the Utah area and he introduced me to Curb Your Enthusiasm which I was sucked in by. I just couldn’t stop watching. I also finished Battlestar Galactica with him as well. Only the first 2 seasons were any good of that show, but the series finale almost made making the other two worth it. It is also filled with Mormon references which I found amusing. It was there with mein bruder that I tried the Royal Robin, and I must say “I was no longer waiting to be impreshed.” Then we tripped the fire alarm and left.

Then it was time for the Journey, but my posts are always to long, so I will shut up for now.

Reason for name of post – I made a promise to Stev-N

He’s my friend, but we like to call him Uncle Jack.

This was in the days before punctuation. We were helping Uncle Jack off a horse–when we realized! It’s his birthday.

So Happy Birthday or whatever, Xakary Chims.
