Clear!!!

Ba-dump, ba-dump, ba-dump.  You guys hear that? That's me breathing life back into the still lifeless body that is my blog.  It lives!!!!  Yeah, so it would be awesome if I had some sweet excuse for not posting in a month and a half (something like a long coma that I've only recently miraculously overcome), but in reality, I just suck.  Fortunately I'm back and ready for action.  It's blogging time, baby!

Just to fill everybody in on what's been going on since my last post... jack squat.  Fortunately, I took AP English and learned enough to be able to make up a three to five page paper at will.  Probably the biggest change in my life since my last post is that I've stepped up my political activist game.  I've started a huge initiative against unemployment, one person at a time.  To begin with, I got myself a job. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, I've had to put the initiative on standby.  I work at the Smith Field House, the place where dedicated people go to work out, and where less dedicated people go to give up on their New Year's resolutions.  The best part is that my shift is from four to eight... in the morning.  And by best, I mean "clearly, obviously worst part."  The only reason I'm still a part of the labor force is that, through sheer luck of the draw, I got assigned to clean the gymnastics room.  I get to goof off on the trampoline and get paid for it, plus cheerleading practice is at seven. Holla!!

The new semester has been decent interesting.  I'm taking math again which is awesome and sucks at the same time.  I like it, but taking a year and a half off wasn't great for my abilities. [Side note: I know a good portion of you guys are saying to yourselves, "but Matt... I know you took AP stats and Calc II your senior year." To which I respond, "Do you honestly think I did anything in those classes?" Freak, guys, I wish you knew me.]  My other classes are mostly just busywork to knock out my GE's, but I had to do it sometime.  Might as well be before a two year hiatus.  Also, the whole getting up at 3:30 am kinda killed my social life, but hey, it's money.

Currently, I'm writing this from the Salt Lake airport as I wait to board my plane to fly home for the three day weekend and it's kind of a hassle.  How, I love public internet connections.

Peace out, ladies and gents,
Matty Boy

Also, my old roomie Nate Garlick has started up a blog telling the stories of his mission [to be updated by his family], which he will be leaving on on Wednesday. Check it out :http://www.eldergarlickgermany.blogspot.com/.
