I am a failure.
Literally.
I got kicked out of Snow College. Shhh, don't tell.
This was years ago of course, and I have learned so much throughout my time at Snow. The biggest thing I've learned, or perhaps re-learned, is to love education. I'm going to Weber State now and between my time at Snow as well as taking a break from school, I want to be here. I LOVE LEARNING! I LOVE SCHOOL! I feel like I just want to be a permanent student as my career. I cannot get enough of school and the things I'm learning. I am actually studying and going to class unlike last time and it is making a phenomenal impact!
I just took my first exam in history and I got 78%. I was not very happy with that score so I went to my professors office hours today. He informed me that he changed one of the answers so I actually got 80%. Wahoo! Not amazing, but better than a C, and much better than a D or F. I appreciate the one-on-one he was willing to provide during office hours so I can succeed in school. I know professors can be really busy so it's nice to know they actually care and want their students to do well.

Mountains
When I was young and I saw my first Paramount Pictures video, I thought the mountain was my mountain--Ben Lomond Mountain.
Paramount vs. Ben Lomond
I did not take this picture. My computer is broken therefore I have no pictures that aren't already on my deleted facebook or cds.
You may think I was delusional but ever since I was little I have believed that Paramount Pictures was the Ben Lomond Mountain. Blame my siblings, they made me believe that big fat lie. More specifically, probably Shane or Aaron. Anyways me and Clifton were talking about it the other night and...I can't remember what he said about it actually. So I looked it up like I always do. I'm obsessed with finding answers and educating myself since I'm not in college. I feel like there's a stereotype against people in their 20's that work at sandwich shops and don't go to college. Plus I feel myself getting less intelligent. And you never know when these random factoids will help you win on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". Go ahead and laugh, we'll see who has the most money at the end of the game show.
Apparently, the guy who designed the Paramount Pictures logo was in fact inspired by our beautiful North Ogden mountain. Don't believe me? Fine see for yourself.
Our mountains are so beautiful and I'm so grateful to have them. Especially so close! I walk 2 blocks and they are there to keep me entertained on fun adventures.
