Back from Utah
Well, I made it back alive - and five weeks sooner than most of you, I might add. I accomplished much this year, including:
* Taking Calculus I twice, earning a D+ and an A, respectively
* Winning 1st place and $1500 in BYU's most prestigious, most lucrative writing contest (as a freshman, too - wam!)
* Writing the first draft of a novel
* Turning a 2.73 GPA into a 3.43 in just one semester
* Guessing one of the songs on Tati's list
At this point, I'm just chilling in Oregon, reflecting on my amazing achievements. I'm also getting paperwork done for my mission, which I'll likely leave for in late July or so. I'm spending most of my time reading, as I've banned myself from videogames. (I satisfy my competetive thirst by crushing my family at Cities and Knights. Taste my college-educated fury, siblings!) Anyway, if anybody's around Hillsboro or Oregon in general, give me a call or something.
