Straw Maze and the Future

If it wasn't for my programming class and archery class I would really not like my classes or feel like I am going anywhere.  Family Foundations I just read talks which is good but feels like my mission and zone conference again so it doesn't feel really like class.  And I feel like I am always somewhat lost in Physics and Calc so those can be frustrating.  After my last class I expected to be in the Linux Lab until about closing time finishing up my airport simulation program, but after talking to a couple of the others guys I figured out how to change my algorithm and got to past test bed.  I wasn't even in their for an hour including the time to comment everything.  Can I just tell you how amazing it is when you run the test bed and this screen pops up.  Well if you don't its pretty much saying you have atleast a 90-95% on the assignment hands down if you followed the directions.  I am excited and nervous because we will really be diving into the STL (standered template library) in the upcoming assignments which will be good for me because then I will get better and using per-defined functions instead of the ones I create.

I go home and checked my e-mail and did a couple of things then I was told that our FHE sisters wanted to go to the Straw maze and that we were invited and that they were going to bring "some" friends.  Well let me tell you we went over and got a ride to La Jolla and we all crammed into this apartment and there was almost a total of 40 of us there.  There was a lot of people there and it was crazy, we almost didn't go because not having enough cars, but in the end it was enough and we went.  The broke us up into groups of six and in my group was another guy I didn't know and me, Cacia, Andrea, Alisa and Courtney  Cacias cousin who goes to BYU.  Although it was really wet and muddy it was a lot of fun and there was lots of haunts because it was the weekend.  They definitely scared the girls a lot especially this crazy clown that was on stilts he was awesome.

After we finally finished the straw maze which probably took about an hour and this included many scares, a lost phone a quick prayer for said phone and going through a really small dark tunnel we made it out of the maze.  Over all it was a lot of fun and there was a crazy clown with balloons that was messing with Tori and Courtney and would give them a balloon and then would take it away or would pop it which was funny. 

After that we went to my roommate Kris' soccer game which was really cool because it went into over time then to a shoot out but it eneded up having to be a tie because the stadium lights went out due to it being midnight and they are automatically timed and they couldn't turn them back on.  I'm pretty sure I have never heard of a game that went to shoot out and still was a tie in the end.  Overall it was a fun game to go to and I saw Jessica and Ashley there also which was fun.  The thing that was not fun was running home afterwards which is not fun in my Vans especially since I am out of shape.  Man I just need to suck it up and start running consistently maybe try to get a running buddy that would help.  Afterwards we went and hung out at the girls apartment until curfew and just sat and talked and got to see Corina's PJ's which are a the one-sees you see little kids where it took a lot of coaxing before she would finally put it on.   Then we drank some hot chocolate and pumpkin cookies and headed back to the apartment. 

My roommate Andrew showed me this cool music video and thought I should save/share it.  Its a group called The Chemical Brothers and the song is Star Guitar.  Pay attention to the music in relation to the objects going by.

 

 I also have been thinking alot about my future and where I will end up. Currently I am looking at interning in about a year at Batelle in my home town and I may work there after I get done with college though I would prefer other places.  But I was thinking that what country I would like to live in if I decided to go somewhere foriegn and I decided I would love to live in Taiwan.  It is a beatiful country and it has a lot of my type of industry and work in that country and it is one of the most stable of the countries of the world.  That and it would be cool to be able to visit Japan, Korea, China, Australia and New Zealand fairly easily from there which would make things pretty exciting.  But we shall see only time will tell.
