Dejected: Out of the House

When you're in love you never really know whether your elation comes from the qualities of the one you love, or if it attributes them to her; whether the light which surrounds her like a halo comes from you, from her, or from the meeting of your sparks.

Thats a bunch of **** love sucks

The Beginning

It has started! My first day of Pharmacy school has finally ended... Well it was orientation but long none the less. It was cool to see all of my future classmates and to see what is going to be expected of me over the next four years. The day was completely planned out so I thought I could give a rundown of the day and what I thought of each part of the schedule.

9-915: Welcome; this was the most awkward part of the day as we all found a place to sit and checked out the class. The class sponsor was very nice and seemed like she knew each of us very well.
915-930: Devotional; Same old SDA propaganda, although the pastor did a good job of catching my attention by talking about the NFL opening weekend. The Pastor talked about new beginnings and seeing things through to the end. I think his point was that we as humans aren't capable of seeing challenges to the end without God's help.
930-1000: Message from the Dean; Mostly he talked about his life and how he ended up the Dean of Pharmacy. He was interesting and it was good to know where he was coming from.
1000-1030; Welcome from upperclassmen; Basically, they introduced themselves and told us too hold on for the wild ride ahead
1030-1045 Break; After a summer with no school I was not used to sitting at a desk for hours at a time, this break was needed
1045-1130; History of LLU; The LLU historian gave a lecture, it was boring and long
1130-1200; Introduction of Faculty and Staff; They all came up and introduced themselves and gave a brief history. There was a lot more then I expected, and I think its going to be several years before I can sort them all out in my head
1200-130; Lunch; We had some sort of mexican dish with beans and chips. Of course I spilled my drink all over the ground and my desk. There was also a Q and A session with all the faculty and staff
130-145; Finacial Aid; Nothing new they just rehashed FinAid stuff that every undergrad should have learned years ago
145-215 Uncovering the mysteries of IPPE; Basically they explained to us What IPPE was and how it works. They are like mini rounds that should help us get ready for our fourth year.
215-300 Professional Organizations 101; They explain all the different organizations that we can join and told us that we need to join at least three.
300-345 Blackboard Tutorial; Since I've been using this system in undergrad for the last four years it was nothing new
345-400 Break
400-430 Elective Info; they just gave us a rundown of electives available for PY1
430-500 Some final thoughts from the instructors and gave us the game plan for the rest of the week

Even though there was no offical classes there was still tons of info to digest. Tomorrow we are going on a retreat sounds interesting but we shall see.

Blog Odyssey Vol 1.1

This is an account of my weekly excursions into the blogosphere and beyond.

My wife listens to imogen heap so I have heard of her before but I had no idea that she was so talented. However I was reading a post at LA LA LA and soon realized just how talented she is. LA LA LA found an amazing video of imogen heap mixing a song as she sings it. It was crazy I honestly have never seen anybody do that before.

If you don't know already my favorite baseball team is the LA Angels and on Tuesday they played a great game beating the Yankees by a score of 9-18. But Garrett Anderson a veteran of the team had a a career night going 4-6 with 2 home runs, one of them being a Grand Slam. On another note A-Rod has hit his 40th, 41st, and 42nd home runs of the year on us in the last two games. He is going to have the home run record and hopefully he will be on the Angels when he gets it.

Hurricane Dean has been cruising the Caribbean and making everybody remember New Orleans. Most Americans would want to get the hell out of Deans way, but not Kendra from Island Med Student. She is staying put and facing the storm head on. Will She Survive?

Not only did she survive she had a Hurricane Dean Party and made a movie of the party and the Hurricane.

Into The Heat

We took are semi annual family trip to Laughlin NV last week, we had a great time and took lots of great pictures.

My wife and Ava chilling out in the 115 degree heat. Her whole family was there with boats and jet skis. To get to our spot on the river (actually Lake Mead) we had to all load up in the boats, there was around 50 people so it took several trips.

I took my daughter on her first ever Jet Ski ride

She didn't last long before wanting to return

We stayed at the Tropicana Express which was newly remodeled. There was a train there so we of course took a train ride

We waited for over an hour for the train to arrive

Ava with her camera

Bang!

I'm not sure how my wife and I did not hear a car slamming into both of ours, but we didn't.

The honda was pushed into the truck

Hey dad somebody hit mommys car

Daddy mommys car died

They hit the cars so hard that is ended up on the side walk and pushed doem the street about three yards

Getting *&*^* from both ends

There is a good reason why I have not posted in a month and a half. I have not done anything since graduation except work and hang out with the family. I decided that I would not start posting again until about a week before I started school, but something happened that I felt was post worthy. We had both of our cars parked on the street in front of our house late on monday night. We watched some movies and went to bed. The next moring the cops were knocking on the door. They asked us what happened to our cars. We of course had no clue that anything had happened during the night. We slowly realized what had happened, somebody hit us late in the night. They slammed into the honda and pushed into the truck and pushed both cars about nine feet donw the street. Then they left the scene bafore they could get caught. The Honda is totalled and thetruck needs some front end work. The worst thing about this is that we had a $1000 deductable for each car so it is going to cost us 2K

The honda before its death RIP 2002-2007

The truck before is was brutally beatin

We hope to fill the void with this
