Satelite phones are wierd!

Friday, August 29th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment

So work asked me to make sure their satelite phone worked. The thing is bulky and in reliable! It seems like just another way to make it harder to escape society.
I stood outside for ten min pointing the oversized antena at the skies and had no service. Ha ha ha. Aparently we have our hand in all sorts of technologizes.
However I just learned that the company that provides our service has satelite issues. So we’re going to cancel.

Back to school mess ups

School is important, I know, I get told that all the time.  And yes I do understand that it is important.  However, ever since I returned home from my mission I have had nothing but bad luck getting into school.

1st try, provo colledge.  I was accepted, but they didn’t have courses I wanted to take, and infact tried to talk me into taking classes I had no desire to take.  later I learned they were short in those classes.  man those guys were pushy.

2nd try, BYU.  first off, BYU’s website is a joke.  I recently went back and found the only way to actually get around their site is by going through their crappy HTML and javascript encrusted site.  than the acceptance letter.  oh wow, they got it too me too late for me to sign up for any of their classes.  the people who tried to “help” were stuck up snobs.  frankly, I’m glad I didn’t go there.

3rd, SLCC.  they ran into a small problem that BYU ran into as well.  for some reason the state of Utah had me down as a non U.S. citizen and there for my semester of 3 classes was going to cost me about $4000 dollars.  hmm, doesn’t seem fair.

4th try.  Again SLCC, and again, non-U.S. citizen.  however, after my birth certificate and valid drivers license wasn’t enough, a letter from my mission presidet seemed to do the trick.  still I had to drop a class because they couldn’t offer it to a non-U.S. citizen.

well now I”m on my 5th try.  again SLCC.  the people at SLCC are super friendly (a lot more than I can say about the people at BYU)  however, this time I ran into some issues as well.  I had signed up for a math and english class along with a web page design class.

my english teacher resigned and the class was dropped due to lack of teacher.  my math class was given to a non-U.S. citizen version of me which I later recieved an e-mail for apologizing that they had messed up and they were sorry but the class is now full.

for being institutions of education, there are not a lot of smart people running schools these days.  I guess the nice thing is my fees will be next to nothing this year, but now I have another semester to take on later.  goo!

Why I NEED an Iphone

1: it’s cool
2: it’s cool
3: organize my life
4: it’s cool
5: all the cool new apps.
6: it’s cool
7: work wants me to get one
8: It’s cool
9: GPS
10: it’s cool
11: I want one.
12: it’s cool

ok so more than half the reasons are that it’s cool, but today my supervisor hooked me up with a 1st gen iphone and frankly, I love it. yes I can remember my days with a suddely crappy nokia and or motorola phone. they remind me of the days in my mission when really bad news comes from home. Hell would be a welcomed sight than returning to those days!!!
frankly I find myself running into very few reasons not to have one! The one thing keeping me from the phone that will link me to 3g internet at all times is, School. thus I have decided that School is an assistant to the leages of hell! or maybe I just have already realized that school is more imporant in the long run than an Iphone.
darn it!

Should not be repeated! Lesson learned.

Family Picitures

Monday, August 4th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 5 Comments

So My Mom decided it was time for a new family picture. Probably a good idea considering our last one was taken before Mark’s mission (about 6 years ago). Since our last picture there have been a few minor changes to our family, the first being Debbie, the second, Merrill, and the Third, Zoey. Oh I’m almost forgetting the fourth, my missing eye.
Alright I admit that fourth one was a lie.

Anyway, there is our family picture.

Us Nott kids (deb included) as many of you know, are very creative/exciting (except Mark. Mark is not exciting) and we can’t stand the typical family pictures without a bit of a twist. and here you have it.

by the way, this picture was Mark’s idea, so I guess he’s a little exciting.

mingling with millionairs

Last night work gave me a the great oportunity to attend, the Utah Fast Pass gala dinner. we arrived about an hour and a half early for the gala, but that gave us ample time to view the “beyond expensive” cars.
The table we sat at there were two couples who casually talked about the over 100,000 dollar cars they bought and traded because they wanted something else.
It was a lot of fun.
After the gala My boss gave me and my date and me a ride in the ferrari 360 spider.
The seats aren’t the most comfortable, but man, it’s a sweet ride!
they offered to let me drive it, or rather while my date was in the car i was offed to drive it, I asked the price of the car, and with a smile said, no thanks. I in no way wanted to be buying one of those any time soon.
