Goodbye Rexburg, hello Ohio...well in a few hours. I'm currently at my roommates house waiting for my 2:00am shuttle to take me to SLC so I can catch an 8:00am flight to Houston then on to Ohio. It'll be quite a long day as I won't arrive in Dayton until 5:00pm. But I LOVE flying so it shouldn't be too bad...except that I have an stinkin' isle seat instead of a window :( Oh I lead such a hard life.
This past week has been a blast filled with "firsts" for me. Wednesday, I got my first 100% on a final. Thursday, I went boating for the first time and tried wakeboarding. I did not, however, actually achieve wakeboarding status as I never got too far out of the water. It was a fun experience despite the extreme soreness in my arms and back and multiple bruises on my hands and legs. Thursday was also the last day of my first year of college. Friday, I rode a motorcycle for the first time...and lived to tell the tale. Saturday I visited the sand dunes for the first time. And Sunday I took a nap in a hammock for the first time this year.
Life is good :)

The End of an Era
Sadly, this semester is coming to an end. And boy is it going out with a bang. Since I practically forgot I had a blog (lame, I know) I'll quickly update everyone on my life's adventures...
The University Band (in which I play alto sax) had a fantastically awesome concert entitled Patriots and Pioneers the week before the 4th. It was so amazing that I bought a CD for myself (to be passed on to my parents), both sets of grandparents, and my high school band directors. To see one song that we performed you can check youtube.com and search Aaron Pike, God of Our Fathers and I think it'll come up. That Saturday (the 4th of July) the band had the opportunity to travel to Huntsman Springs in Driggs, ID and play at their 4th celebration. Glenn Beck was the speaker that night and I got my picture with him backstage before the concert. Cool beans huh?!
Now, in the last week of school (aka finals week), I am working hard by studying, writing papers (which is what I was in the process of doing when I decided to update a blog...), taking tests, cleaning, and packing. Yeah, you can imagine the fun I'm having.
I GOT A JOB!!!!!!! Basically the highlight of my week. I am a part of the Student Ambassador program on campus that gives tours to prospective students this semester as a volunteer but in the fall I will come back as a PAID director. It will be a TON more work (20 hours a week at least) but I'm so excited!
Well my paper is calling me and my conscious won't let my type any more so I'm going to peace out for the evening.

I'm only a click away
I've been thinking of starting a blog for a few years now. I don't know what's stopped me since I lead a fairly exciting life. Simple, but exciting. Well mostly exciting. I guess it's all relative since my "exciting" Friday night of a three-day weekend, at college, is composed of creating a blog while sitting in my apartment on a dirty, old couch listening to itunes and wondering why flats make my feet smell so bad.
