Pinecone Revamped

Alas! We salute these two!

After eight months of madness here at the Pinecone, we, once again, have to change the line up as our dear friend Ammon is now wedded to his missus. No worries, though, I'm sure it's not the last time you'll hear about these two in all their glories.

Since T.K.'s premature departure, we had to fill two spots here at our house. Naturally, we chose who we wanted to live here because we are past the point of playing roommate roulette.

As usual, I get to write a quick synopsis of the state of the Pinecone on my blog.

Me at Ammon & Julie's wedding!

Now that Ammon has moved on, I am the oldest person in the house. As usual, I try to set the standards and code of conduct. But most importantly, I have cooperative roommates with similar values.

I'm onto my last semester of medical laboratory science and will be done with all my coursework by this April! Then, I'll embark on an internship in Murray, Utah this upcoming summer until the end of the year.

I'll probably be around Provo, or at least the Utah Valley for another year or two as I have unfinished business around here.

Jonathan, our resident physicist, has had exciting changes in his life. Be sure to ask him about it! He's got some big plans and an unexpected change in course in his studies.

Don't get me wrong, he's gonna use all that physics he's learned, but he's found a way to utilize it more in the long run.

In addition, talk to him about his recent experience/run-in with B-money here at Provo. It's a pretty funny story.

John as his usual creative self

I'm not sure how many excellent costumes for cosplay has he done since the last time I wrote about him, but you can't deny that John is not handy with these sorts of stuff. He did all that in the picture while under the intense pressure of the BYU Information Systems program.

This man landed himself a nice internship with the Church this summer and will soon be using his acquired skills in the real world when the time hits.

This is the one of the only persons I know who has the abilities to do almost everything he wants to get done in a given time while having a tough schedule. I think he's secretly a jedi. And no, he's not single.

And the winter cheer continues

One of the most monumental things that happened to Nick recently was being accepted into the BYU Film program. From now on, he can kiss a lot of time goodbye.

The good fellow from Missouri is adept at making films and Photoshop; something I witnessed myself as he put forth hours after hours refining his skills in these areas.

Needless to say, this is one good-looking dude who is not single. Like I mentioned before, he's got a time sink coming up as he strives to finish not only complete his degree in film, but also take on a business strategy minor from the Marriott School of Management.

He's just as I remembered

Klint may be a newcomer to the Pinecone, but he is no stranger to me. Both Ammon and I had lived with this man before he was a returned missionary.

Having served in Germany, he's at least bilingual and hopes to keep his language skills up. He is hoping to get into the nursing program here at BYU. Since his exposure to the European culture, especially after the study abroad to Austria, he's got some style, literally!

In many aspects, Klint is the combination of all of us. That's why we get along with him so well. As for the ladies, be sure to look this guy up. I promise you that you won't be disappointed!

He loves his cars

Looks like our house can never be without people from Missouri. Alex is from Liberty, Missouri and already knew likes of Ammon, Dalin, and Nick since they were boys.

He's studying mechanical engineering here at BYU and he's got some ambition as he plans on taking on another field of engineering simultaneously!

He is a car fanatic (have you seen the rims on his car?) and is absolutely enamoured by them. This man is definitely one of the eligible bachelors we have at this house.

The many seasons of life and the many faces of roommates I've encountered during my lifetime here at BYU. I'm looking forward for another ridiculous semester with my friends and roommates here at the Pinecone. I'm going to enjoy my time as I don't think I'll be enjoying my semester very much this time with the sheer amounts of work and tests creeping up. Don't find us! We'll find you.
