Hi ya'll, how's life treating you!

It has been a busy week since I last wrote to you. I had a paper due last Thursday, which took up a good eveing and a half to write. Git it back today, but without a grade so i ho[e it went well!?!?

I'm starting to feel the stress and sleepless nights take it toll on me. It gets harder to roll out of bed each Monday, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I'm working hard to get my speech started for the keynote speech I'm giving at the model UN summit in April, I think I will have killed about 3 tress by the end of it! My professor has had me print so many articles to use in Israel's defense, lol!

I'm so ready for a nap, lol, I have grown to love them more and more as the years go by.

Super Bowl was nothing special to me. I think I'm still bitter about how the Vikings season ended, but Dallas and Super Bowl 45, "We're Comin'!!!" We're going to the "Super Bowl, home boy!"

One thing I'm really excited about is this years Twins! The stadium is awesome, the moves thy've made are awesome, and our season should be awesome! I can't wait to go cheer them on at Target Field!

Next thing on my mind is the NFL draft, who will help the Vikes win it all next year? I'm sure I'll go on about this til April so I won't discuss it anymore with you, but I'm excited!

I think  it's time for me to call and see you later!

Back for Another Round!

Hey Ya'll, I'm back!

I'm back to fill you life with more randomness and interesting (in my opinion) nonsense. Been doing this school thing for the 3-4 weeks now and already ready for it to be over. This semester, I thought, was supposed to be a cake walk, but now I realize that was completely naive of me.

 I work 2 jobs (part of the reason I'm writing this), have 16 credits (4 of which is Deutsch!), and am part of a mentor ship program for History Day; not to mention my duties as Sargent at Arms for the History Club ( I love that title!). 

A highlight of this semester is my new role as Tour Guide, which has changed since last semester. I make more, which is always nice, and I feel like I'm the boss of someone, at least for a few hours a week! I have giving many awesome tours as of late as well, maybe to someone out there reading this! 

I have been "selected" to be a key note speaker at a Model UN convention I'm attending for the country of Israel. It is a short speech, but 400 students who are out to belittle you in front of everyone else will be in the audience, how Fun! I really looking forward to this experience though. One piece of advise to those of you reading this, take as many chance you can to speak in front of other, it good practice and will always help down the road.

My birthday is just weeks away, (49 days to be exact)!

Lastly I wish to write about the biggest event I have coming up in the near future, My trip to Germany!!!!!!!!!!!



I can't wait to visit Deutschland!!!

We will be spending 5 weeks over there going all over including Wittenburg, Berlin, and many more! We're going to a concentration camp, a castle, and check out Lutherfest, a big Renaissance Fair! I will probably have more updates as as the trip draws near, but I can't tell you how excited i am for it!

Back to work,
Stay Classy, and

Auf Wiedersehen!

Last Days of School!!!!

I cannot believe it, school is almost over for 2009! I only have 4 full days of classes and finals and I'm outta here! I can't wait til Christmas break and time off! School is school, we all know that routine and how sickening it can become. I love what I'm doing, don't get me wrong. It just gets a little overwhelming sometimes. Well, to what I care most about, The PURPLE and GOLD!

Wow, what a big couple of games for us! We showed our might and that we are an elite team in the league. Yes, their our those out there who will disregard what we've done and I say let them. Our actions speak for themselves. It's a proud day to be a Viking!

This is a couple weeks late, but I'm sure gald Mauer Power came through for us! The MVP award was his this year, and the voting showed that. I just hope we can sign him for an extended period of time. Hes important to our future.


I just gave a tour today to my sister and her friends. It's so wierd to see her out looking at schools! I feel so old! She's really interested in MSUM, which is good, but I can't believe this time is here! Life goes by faster every year, I swear.

Its official, I'm going to Germany this summer! I can't wait! Its gonna be hard, I will miss a few major events this year, but its an once in a lifetime opportunity to go and I don't think I can turn it down. I hope it all goes well going up to this trip.

Well, back to work.

Me a TV Star?!?!

Guten Abend,

Its good to be back with you! I in a good mood, for some unknown reason. I'm at work, entering data, and have a research paper due tomorrow, where is the joy in any of that!

I guess today went well. I will be on TV tonight, thats cool! I was giving a tour and when we entered the Wellness Center, their was my boss, a camera crew, and a local reporter! They taped me giving a tour through the building! They interviewed my guest for about five minutes and were off! I can't wait to get out and watch it!

The research paper tomorrow shouldn't be a big deal. i have some of it written and I only have to write about 5-6 pages total, so thats not to bad.

I'm happy with the Trade the Twins made, trading Carlos Gomez for J.J. Hardy. We needed a shortstop for the future and we had an extra outfield, solving both issues. Gomez will be missed by many though, including myself. he was one of the fastest men in the outfield and his defensive play will be missed. Good Luck and God bless you Go-Go!

Now to my favorite team, The Purple and Gold! This weekend should not be a major test for them, its the Lions. I do not expect a blowout: the games in the division are usually close. i just hope we can continue to rest Winfield and maybe get Jackson in for a few snaps. we need to start looking toward the playoffs after this past past weeks' events. We need to rest who we can when we can to have them more ready for that playoff push. One gane at a time, we can do great things!

Deer Hunting didn't go very well this weekend. I didn't see a buck big enough to shot, I didn't see many of them at all for that matter. i only shot at a doe, which I missed. I will have "limited action" this weekend due to my invovlement in a colunteer program on Saturday, so I really only have one full day. I better get busy!

Time to get back to work,

Stay Classy,

Numero Uno!

Guten Abend,

I'm finally in a dead week! No homework, no test (after today), no project, no nothing due!

YES!

Tonight I can finally get ahead, that is if I feel like it and not just taking a break. This has been a wild last two days for me, I have to say!

You can't expect me to not talk about the Vikings game!

That game was awesome! I will not soon, if ever forget it! We are in the driver seat in the NFC North and aren't showing any sign of letting it go. By not means is it without a doubt ours (I have seen major implosions of my favorite team before), but we should win this division with little to no problems. 7-1 is not too bad!

We needed the by this weekend, Winfield needs to heal, Harvin needs a break, Hutchinson's back could use it, Peterson's ankle could use a break, Berrian needs a break, and last and not least, Favre's 40 year old arm could use a rest! I think I need the break too! I have never been so nervous before games, and during, as I have been this year. Time to cool down!

Secondly, My job "title" may be changing in a BIG way! I don't know a lot about it and what's going down, but it will change a lot. I just hope I can still give campus tors!

Otherwise, classes are going well. I'm glad there is nothing for me to do and nothing to be done this week. I needed this "break" to get ahead of myself and get some stuff done. I have a paper to write by the end of the year, a book to read and other assignments I can do.

I had a good Halloween; I dressed up as Hugh Hefner (sp). No candy, but a good time!

Lastly, DEER HUNTING IS COMING UP! I can't wait to get out in the woods and get the "tirty-pointer!" Just spent over a hundred dollars on new gear, which really stinks, but its all worth it!

Well, I better get back to work!

Stay Classy, and

A "Blah" Stretch

What to write about, let's see.
I have had the last two days off of german class, that is a nice break to get. i have to go tomorrow, which means I have homework to do tonight, AHHH! It should be quick though.

I think I'm going out to buy my costume for Saturday, i don't really know what I'm gonna be though....

I have to say I'm happy with the outcome of the Vikings game this weekend. We lost, but very well could have won. I do realize that we should have lost a couple games this year already, so it just caught up on us this weekend. I'm looking forward to the game on Sunday @ Green Bay! I really have a feeling they will win this game. its important to us for the rest of the season and I think Favre will come out big!

I'm glad I got a 100% on a major project i recently handed in, I needed it. I didn't do so hot on the Midterm and needed a good grade on it to help dig my self out of the hole I made for myself.

I had to get a tetunus shot on Friday due to a cut I recieved at work. It didn't hurt too bad, but it was on rusty metal so... a shot was for the best. it hurt so bad, I had trouble sleeping because of it! I should have a pretty awesome scar from it, so that is good!

I can't wait until deerhunting, it is just around the corner! I have been shut out the last couple years so I think my time is over due. I just hope i can beat my brother this year, he seems to always get a nice one!

I went to a grosthunter last Tuesday that was on campus, it was pretty cool. He talked about all of his past experiences and showed us some of his EVP's and videos. I'm glad i gave up the time to do that. I do believe in ghost, so it was cool to see what he has to show as a ghosthunter.

Otherwise, I'm just trying to get through, Midterm is officially over, but not the exams. i have a POL SCI test on Friday, as well as a WWI test on Thursday! No rest for the wiery I guess!

Stay Classy,

Good Week

Guten Abend (Good Evening),

As you can see by the picture, I WAS AT THE VIKINGS GAME THIS WEEKEND! It was such a good time. It was the most exciting/ nervious experience I have had during a game in person.

The way it ended is something I will never forget. I still can't believe he missed the fieldgoal!

Midterm has come and gone the last couple weeks. It has been a VERY busy couple of weeks. I just finished my german test today, it went well, I hope! I handed in a major 32 PAGE project for my SPED 320 class on Monday, and soon I will start on my volunteer work for that class. I get the plessure of working with students in need and help them with whatever I'm assignment to do. I can't wait!

To make my life better, in one of my history classes, we banded together and talked the professor in pushing back our review assignment due date! One more test this week and two more next and I'm in the clear for a few weeks!

Let's go Vikings against the Steelers, we need you Winfield!

Stay Classy and,

Auf Wiedersehen!

BLEEDING PURPLE AND GOLD!!!!!

Packers here we come! I have been waiting for this week for a long time! On Monday, the Vikings and Packers square off on PRIMETIME! That play to end the game on Sunday was amazing! I haven't seen a Viking QB do that for years.

I'm not ignorant and am not in the crowd that believes a title is in our near future, but I do not rule out the possibility. IF we fix the minor problems in pass protection and miscommunication, we can do a lot! Enough about the Vikes.



How about those Twins! As I type they are in their second of two games today, winning the first! This year has been a roller coaster, to put it lightly, and I can't get enough of it. This final week of Twins Baseball in the dome will be a Good One!



For those of you who don't care about the Twins or Vikes....

School has been great! German is tough, but a lot of fun. I have had a lot of trouble in helping in another history reaction game. It is totally foreign information for we and the game rules are difficult to work with.



Otherwise, life is great. I'm enjoying working on the Rockwall and in the admissions. Just getting over a cold from this weekend, so that isn't fun.



I've been newly appointed as "Sergeant at Arms" of the History Club, lol! It is a position of power with few responsibilities, but requires full participation. I work with a good group of friends in the club and think this should be a lot of fun.



Well, I suppose it’s time to go. Stay Classy, and

I'm Back!! Tips for a Successful College Experience

Hey Everyone,

I'm back in school now, and have been here for a few weeks now. As I think about starting my third fall here at MSUM, I came up with a few things for you (future college students) to think about and try when you attend a school in the coming years. Now, before I tell you these things, realize they may not be easy to do, but are vital to having a good first semester.

• Use your time wisely. I realize many of these tips, including this one, you have heard over and over. Even so, in college you are EXPECTED to get your work done on time! Most professors in college are not nearly as easy to deal with high school teachers.

• BE READY TO START RIGHT AWAY!- I know that isn't the most favorable thing to do right off the bat, but if you want to have a successful year, this is important.

• I will also advise you to do projects and paper as early as possible. Many people have them build up due to procrastination and leave things until the end of the semester. This forces students to either have a nervous breakdown or spend many late nights catching up.

• Lastly, be ready to enjoy yourself! College is about gaining a knowledge of a lifetime, but that doesn't just include an academic one. Meet new people, see new things, visit new places! This is the biggest tip I can give you now. Just remember when you are buried in you notes before your final exams that college is about ENJOYMENT over everything else!

Until next time, Stay Classy and Auf Wiedersehen!

School is Almost Here!

Hey everyone, long time, no see. School is just around the corner and I'm excited for it. I know after a couple weeks, I will be hoping for summer once more, but I'm wishing to start back up soon. It has been a busy summer for. I work in construction and build grain bins. This job is a prefect summer job, but by this time in the summer, I'm ready to get done with this and back to school. I figured before school starts up again I would check in to let you all know how this summer has been going. During the 4th of July, I went tubing where I got sun burnt so bad I was unable to do much for a week. I will never put my self through that. If I can tell you one thing, where sunscreen, it is worth it, lol! I don't wish that pain on anyone. Moved into our new place and I'm happy about it. We have awesome wireless and direct tv, so I'm happy. I can't forget to mention we own a 50" tv as well. "Go Vikes" on the big screen! Speaking of the Vikes, I was more than a little upset about the Favre situation. It sounded so positive for so long, and than we were totally surprised by his commitment to retirement. Now, in my opinion, our only hope is J.D. Booty. we need to hope, somehow, that he can be like a Matt Cassel and come out of nowhere and be our savour. Well, time for me to go and see you in a few weeks. Lastly, Stay Classy!
