Coming Around Another Bend

Bunnies!
Happy Easter everyone!  I hope you all had a good day.  While it may not be chronologically accurate, the point is to commemorate the day the Savior overcame death and resurrected from death three days after He performed the Atonement.  As for my more secular friends, I hope you had good family dinners and decent amounts of chocolate.

This week marked the last week of March.  It seems like the year is flying by already.  I am excited for the change that's coming up later in April.

I registered for classes this week and managed to sort out most of my schedule.  Although I have classes everyday Monday through Thursday from 8am to 3pm, I do get breaks in between.  I will have an exam every week, however, we'll see how I handle that.  The bottom line is, I can still do research and work at BYU Broadcasting for a little bit during the upcoming semesters.

As for fun things, I had the opportunity to attend Lance's wedding reception on Thursday night after a painful biochemistry test.  It's crazy how everyone is moving on in life!  Needless to say, it was great to see the groom one more time before he embarks on a new journey with his bride.

Bioshock Infinite
I shouldn't be spending time on games lately since I have so much work to do, but I couldn't help it as the new Bioshock games came out.  Bioshock Infinite, like its predecessors, take ideologies prevalent through historical periods and weave it into a story that amazes the audience.  This game focuses on the ideas of American Exceptionalism, Manifest Destiny, and the social bigotry that occurred during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.  The science fiction element in this part of the series deals with the theory of multiverses set in the flying city of Columbia.  The series is one of the best FPSs I've ever played.  I recommend it to anyone who wishes a brain-stimulating experience.

Since it's Easter, my friend Jim invited me over to have dinner with his friend Steve and his family.  I am lucky to have buddies that care about me.  Jim is a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for about a year and half.  He plans on letting his family know that he had converted starting when his father visits him next month.  Keep him in your thoughts and prayers because things like this could get ugly unnecessarily.

I got the chance to write Lyn back because she actually wrote a letter in return.  From the sound of it, she's doing well.  I'm still waiting for the day when she returns and I could observe it for myself how much she'd have changed.  It's still early in the process, but I think I'll enjoy some more mission tales in the next 17 and half months.

No audio logs this week, I think this post says more than enough.
