Job Hunt

Well, I am going to be leaving bYu in a few weeks and my job hunt is heating up. Just when I think that I have my decisions narrowed down, I get a reply to an email that I had previously sent out and given up on. I currently have three places that I am seriously talking to. They are scattered across the country:
1. Houston Oaks Golf and Country Club- Hockley, Texas
2. Quail Hollow Golf Club- Charlotte, North Carolina
3. The Ridge at Back Brook- Ringoes, New Jersey
4. Chenal Country Club- Little Rock, Arkansas

Some of the offers are full-time, some are internships. I am traveling out to Charlotte December 7th to meet with the company. So hopefully I can get in touch with all of my prospects and get things figured out. It is really exciting to have people want to talk with you and to be considered for great jobs.

Work, Work, Work

Well I started working on the bYu pesticide crew about two weeks ago. We have been spreading a lot of fertilizer to get the fall application done. We have finished campus and now are moving onto other shurch owned properties in Provo. We also take care of other pests across campus. We harvested some empty bee hives out of some trees and caught a cat at the football stadium.

College Game Day

Here are my two signs. Right when I showed up, the police came and told me that the bottom one was unacceptable, and also we could not have signs on poles, so I just put it back in my car.

College Game Day made their weekly stop in Provo this week. So I went out bought some supplies, made some signs, put a flag on a pole, and headed out to show my support for the greatest thing to happen to Saturday's EVER!!!!

It was so much fun. There were a bunch of BSU, UofU, TCU, and fans from many other colleges in attendance. Everyone told the BSU fans that they were overrated. Which is funny because bYu has never defeated the team.

Security was rather intense. I should have expected that, being at bYu, but it was surprising. Originally they told us that ESPN would not allow any flags or signs on poles. Also we were not to have any signs that were demeaning to any other team or player.
All in all I had a blast!!!!

Views of Garden Valley

Each morning when I woke up there was mist that filled the valley, I thought that it gave the mountains "personality"

Workin' with Brent and YSA Activity

On Saturday, Brent called and asked me what I was doing in Idaho. He told me that he needed to do some work on his house in Emmett, and I had already finished all I wanted to, so I headed to Emmett. On my way to Emmett, I stopped at a girl's house and she invited me to a YSA activity later on in the evening. It was altogether a good time. I did feel like a bum at the activity dressed in some crummy work clothes, but oh well...
The YSA activity was a dessert auction/dance? I think that people danced to about 3 songs. It was pretty fun, I bought my dessert early in the auction, and had to wait about 30 minutes for the rest of the auction to take place. It was fun and the dessert was good too.

Weekend in Idaho

So while my parents were away on vacation, I went home to do some chores. I had a great time enjoying the peace and quiet, and getting dirty! I stacked a bunch of wood in preparation for Christmas and also built some shelves in the garage.



















I also rewarded myself after a long day of work with some steak and oreos.

Adios Bicycle! :(

Well in an attempt to save some money for the Rutgers professional turf school, I decided to sell my bike. I did not want to do it, but I can always get a new one next summer. I sold it on ebay to someone up in Ogden. I had some good times, but sometimes sacrifices must be made.
