So I stopped eating my muffin and realized I needed to jog for 35 minutes to make up for it.

QLC= Quarter-Life Crisis
Pretty sure I'm not the only one going through this right now. And for all of you who think I am too young to be dealing with this you are WRONG.
According to Wikipedia:
The quarterlife crisis (QLC) is a term applied to the period of life immediately following the major changes of adolescence, usually ranging from the ages of 21 - 29. The term is named by analogy with mid-life crisis.
I need some oreos and milk. I'm reverting back to my childhood.

On the brink of death.
These are the days that I wish I were more computer literate. I mean, really, how is it that I cant access my gmail account today? There is some security firewall preventing me from getting to gmail and therefore preventing me from all communication with the outside world.
Its sad, but true. I function through my gmail account. Everyone knows that if I'm not logged in something is seriously wrong. Well ladies and gentlemen, something is seriously wrong. The worlds are against me and preventing me from my only source of sanity on this crazy-never-ending day of a Monday.
I need help?

St Patricks Day is such an interesting holiday. Either you are super into it, or you just dont care. Well ok so not really, because I consider myself to be a hybrid.Ive never been super into it, but I am sporting the green argyle sweater today and will be attending some St Pattys parties tonight (water parties of course ... I mean, I am at BYU people).
Here's a shout out to good ol Rob Peterson, who i'm sure is lamenting being in Provo and not in Chicago for this blessed event.

President Hinckley:
There is a sign on the gate of this campus that reads: “Enter to learn; go forth to serve.”
I invite you, every one of you, to make that your motto. Mediocrity will never do. You are capable of something better. Give it your very best. You will never again have such an opportunity. Pray about it. Work at it. Make it happen. Drink in the great knowledge here to be obtained from this dedicated faculty. Qualify yourselves for the work of the world that lies ahead. It will largely compensate you in terms of what it thinks you are worth. Walk the high road of charity, respect, and love for others and particularly those who are less fortunate. Be happy. Look for the sunlight in life. Reach for the stars.
_________
I came across this today. What a powerful and inspiring statement. Many of these things I have tried to incorporate into my life over the past few years, such as rising above mediocrity, taking every opportunity, qualifying myself for the work I know my Father in Heaven has in store for me. I also love to serve and strive to be a happy person, always looking for the sunlight in life (literarlly and hypothetically speaking). What a great leader President Hinckley was.

The Perfect Storm
After watching just about everyone in Provo go jogging (pronounced yagging)today I finally decided to go for a run myself (and can I just say -- for the ever so brief glimpse of spring we had on Friday, it was not enought to allow girls to be so scantily-clad while jogging around Provo. Definition: scantily clad would mean pulling your shorts up so high that they cant be seen under your t-shirt or tying your wife-beater up with a rubberband, thus displaying your stomach. Really? Come on girls!) So, I had been outside earlier, and it was fairly warm (in Utah terms that means 40) so I threw on my running pants and my proud UCI Mens Volleyball National Champions t-shirt and took off. I figured if I got cold I'd just run a little faster and warm myself up.
About half-way through my run the wind started blowing and the clouds began to look a little more ominous.
Then I noticed the trees blowing a little harder… and little spots on the cement which I soon realized were rain drops.
I felt the temperature begin to drop and the storm begin to come into full effect. Before I knew it, I realized this was the first time I had been running in the snow. The wind was blowing so hard my legs would trip each other as they attempted to hit the pavement with each step. The snow falling lightly and grazing past my cheek, landing softly on the grass beside me.
As I ran I realized that it wasn’t the cold air hitting my face, or the constant stinging on my bare arms that bothered me most about running in the storm. The worst part was the numbing in my fingers and the intense concentration it took to change the song on my iPod shuffle each time a lackluster song would emerge.
I thought the first day of March would mean I could put my cold gear away. Guess I was wrong. I better buy some running gloves.

Hells Bells
Probably my favorite person in the MPA program, not only for, but especially because she is the founding member of the greatest club in the Marriot School (CfC). This post is attributed to her. For making my life better by simply being who she is.
Beautiful
Intelligent
Witty
Bold
Stylish
Daring
Keeps me sane (I know its not 1 word, but how to do you limit that?)
... basically the most amazing woman ever.
*pictures to come soon.

The EPA is going GREEN.
Ok, so I know what you are thinking. EPA= Environmental Protection Agency ... they are the definition of Green. They are the one federal agency that is pushing this whole 'Global Warming' thing onto policy-makers and therefore the rest of the world, right? Well, ok, maybe. But that's not what I am talking about here. I am talking about their new approach to initiating a "green" movement into their agency--through the building.
We all know we are encouraged to use energy efficient light bulbs and shut off the lights when you are not in the room and blah blah blah (if any of you know me, you know that I am a huge advocate of this) anyway, the EPA decided on some things, lights just are necessary. Like in the elevator.
yes. i just said the elevator.
If you are to take a trip on the elevator in the EPA building in Washington DC you will be going in pitch black. Just think Tower of Terror. Which is usually a fantastic experience at Disneyland, but not so hot when you are filled with 10 other people screaming because we really dont know if we will ever get out. However, the realism of the experience made it exciting and got the point across-- lights are not always necessary.
So cut them out of your life in as many places as possible and save a few polar bears.

I've been getting grief for not blogging lately-- sorry everyone after Nashville life got a little crazy.
In case you were all wondering its ULTRA cold here in Utah. I mean, as if the snow wasnt enough. Now we need wind and chill factor. I swear this is the temperature outside right now:
OK ok ok so perhaps that is a little dramatic. but it is really cold. like 12 degrees. Feel bad for me.

I'm like Nashville ... with a tan.
This weekend I had a conference in the heart of the bible belt, the home of American Country Music, Nashville, TN. Now, I had never in my life really thought about going to Nashville, but once I got the opportunity, I was so excited. Everyone I talked to loved Nashville, and my experience was better than I had ever expected. I've put up some pictures of my favorite things.
Vanderbilt Campus -- buildings date back to the 1880's
State Capital -- just a really cool old building. Russ didnt quite understand.
Parthenon -- just a replica but pretty sweet at night.
Jacks BBQ -- homestyle CLASSIC bbq. the in house entertainment was also pretty classic.
Broadway -- the heart of downtown nashville.
Pancake Pantry -- the sweet potato pancakes are incredible. oh and don't let the 2 hour line fool you.
Layla's Bluegrass Inn -- probably the dirtiest bar i've been in ... but the crazy bands were too entertaining to leave.
Tootsies
Wild Horse Saloon -- think Buck Owens Crystal Palace x 5
Dueling Piano Bar -- pretty much the coolest thing ever.
Coyote Ugly -- just had to do it.
Tootsies -- CRAZY. but dancing on the speakers and singing "i've got friends in low places" was incredible.
