On the other hand.....

So this is going to be a somewhat longer post. If you really aren't interested in hearing all of it, you may leave now.
So first thing, Kathryn and I went grocery shopping last saturday and she went coupon crazy. Now I must admit that I am somewhat embarrassed when it comes to using those things. I mean I kinda feel like white trash when I bust out a coupon for like 25 cents off a $1 item. Can I afford to pay that 25 cents? Sure can. Why save a quarter? Cuz I am stingy and want to take an extra five minuets in line what the checker makes sure I grabbed the correct item. So Kathryn busts out like a dozen coupons, albertson doubler coupons, and the savings card. Now I am all for saving money and using it for fun stuff but boy did I feel like a jerk. I mean I let like a half dozen people go in front of me so that they wouldn't have to wait for this chaos to ensue. Well, suffice it to say, we spent about $75 on groceries that day. They even crazier part is that when we go home I added up our savings and found out we should have paid over $150 for everything we go. We SAVED about 50% off our grocery bill. So I guess it was worth it.
On the next note, how crazy are all these women who love Twilight. I just found a site called twilightmoms.com on the internets. I watched a video about how people have leaked photos from the next movie and blah blah blah. Anyway I ended up googleing to see these pictures and got that site! On the front page it says that it is a site for Moms and Adult women who love twilight! Is it just me or is this really creepy? I admit that I can't really grow up and get over video games but I think there is a difference in enjoying a game where you shoot aliens and stuff like that and drooling over a kid who is like barely 17 or 18. Icky! Do I not get it?
On my final note; I reall enjoy a comedian named Gabriel Iglesia. He has this joke about there being 6 levels of fat. Healthy, hefty, husky, fluffy, damn, and "AH Hell NO!". I wonder if there are like half levels of fat. Like in-between healthy and hefty is there a "huh?" category? The reason I ask this is because I walked down some stairs in one of the buildings on campus, the smith to be exact, and had a guy stop and have to decide which side of me he was going to go on so as not to accidentally grope me. Now I admit that I was coming down the middle of the stairs but how fat do I have to be that you need to stop, look, and think to yourself, "hmm, his left side is looking a little more fluffy then his right side. I think I will pass on the right." These stairs are like 6 feet wide! I cannot be like more then like 2 feet wide myself! HOW FAT AM I!?!?!?! Am I an odd shape of fat? Like not round or oval but like a five year-olds rendition of a circle. You know where one side is a little more pronounced then the other. What is wrong with me?

So anyway that is everything that is on my mind right now. Have a great day and hopefully nothing else crazy happens to me.
laters and love,
The awkward circle.

Something amazing I guess......

So today was an interesting day. In archery we were trying to shoot little balloons from about 20 yards away. One of the other students shot and his arrow went in sideways (he shot from the other side of the gym). I then shot an arrow and shot threw the shaft of his. Pretty cool if you ask me.
Other then that today is going alright. Nothing great in the news. LATERS!

BLAH BLAH BLAH I'm back to blogging!

So I know that I don't blog all that often but that is mostly cuz NOTHING exciting happens to up. We are home bodies, who don't socialize. We are so boring sometimes but I wouldn't change a thing. Anyway just wanted to let anyone and everyone know that I am going to try to do better and blogging this year and who know, I may even vlog a bit. I don't really know. Also i will hopefully be posting a picture of my art piece that I just did. I hope ya'll like it. It took my about 5 hours to do. Anyway, that should be up later today. Oh and please keep the missionaries in your prayers. There were a couple of elders in Romania, I think, who accidental suffocated due to a natural gas leak in the apartment. Have a great day guys! oh and you can follow me on twitter @UltimoEdrick! LATERS!

Like the US government, I am undecided.

So I thought that I would post this to the blog and see what the rest of the family thinks we should do. I am not saying that your opinions will have much weight when it comes to the final decision but I am looking for other outside opinions.
I am currently enrolled in school as an art major. My specific degree title at this point is Integrated Studio Art. For the real world this a Bachelor of Art degree. I am looking of applying to the BFA or Bachelor of Fine Arts program. In the real world these two degrees really don't mean much to potential employers. My current concern is that I want to get into and finish a BFA but I am not sure if it will really help me out in the real world. I will now proceed to list the good and bad of each degree.

B.A.- (GOOD) I won't have to spend an extra $2,000 to finish this degree and I can still minor in Photography. I can minor in art ED and get a teaching certificate. (BAD) I will have a harder time getting into a masters program.

B.F.A.- (GOOD) Easier time getting into masters programs if I need to. May give me more credit to the more artsy jobs. (BAD) I will need to take out a student loan to pay for all the costs. Doesn't guarantee a better paying job out of college then a BA degree.

Now this really isn't a comprehensive list of all that is good or bad with each degree but I think it hits the main points. There are also family issues and school issues that I haven't included to keep things less complicated.
Suffice it to say that I am really torn as to which I want to do but I think I know which way I am leaning. Please e-mail me or facebook me what you think. Thanks.

Doing the Party

So this past weekend I went down to Twin to Shoot some Pictures for my sisters birthday. It was kind of crazy but it did give me some good shots. I only have one that I have done work for so far so I will post that one. Also I am going to try and enter a competition here at the school for my photography. I don't know if I will even place but I will post my submissions next tuesday.

Maybe I'm back.

After a long hiatus from writing on the blog, I am here to make an update. The past little while has been both crazy and mundane. One semester has ended and another begun. Kathryn is out of school right now and working two, almost three, jobs. She is still working for the school, she is working at the Rexburg Opinion Center, and she will be starting another job in about 2 weeks. I am working for the school and doing almost 19 credits. Suffice it to say, we don't see much of each other. I will be down in twin falls this weekend taking pictures so that should be crazy. Not much else to report on.
