Avoiding finals

Okay, so today was my last day of class at BYU. It's just strange that this experience is coming to an end. I started at BYU in 2002. That was 7 years ago! I think BYU is a fantastic institution*; I learned a lot here, and I'm glad that I was able to attend here. Obviously, my beliefs and morals are important, and I don't think I would have gotten an academic opportunity to examine those kinds of things anywhere else. It will be sad to leave.

*If you have any positive affiliation with a certain red institution north of Provo, you are not welcome to comment on this assertion. ;)

I'm trying to find a job for the summer. It's not the most enjoyable experience. So if anybody knows of any place that is hiring that will pay me a lot to do something that I'm really good at, let me know.

In grad school news, we finally decided on George Washington University. We have both felt like it was a good decision, and we have lots of reasons to go for it. It's going to be great! We'll definitely miss Utah...especially all of our awesome family here. But I think it will be a great move for us as a family and for me as a professional. So we've sent rejection letters to BYU and ASU (nice to be on the other side of those letters for once), and we sent our acceptance to GW (along with a $100, non-refundable deposit, so there's no turning back now!).
