Life is unusual. I find it strange that some get so many opportunities and blessings while so many get so few. The moral I've learned is you take what life will give you because you don't know what tomorrow will offer. For many, life is a long path with only the occasional fork to choose from. My life forks regularly. And when I mean regularly, I mean monthly, biweekly, even weekly. I'll offer one recent tidbit that happened today
Today I interviewed for and was accepted into the exclusive Asia Business study abroad. You can learn about it here. This spring, if I accept my acceptance, I will be going with 21 other students and 4 faculty and staff from BYU. For three weeks we will visit various cities in China, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong (I know that's China, but not really), and potentially Malaysia and Cambodia. We'll be meeting with business leaders like the CEO of BMW China daily to learn how they do business. I still am reticent to go because of the cost (with grants and scholarships I hope to get the cost down to about $1,700) and the fact that May is the ideal time during the next year and a half to study and take the GMAT and LSAT.
But alas, not all of life is rose colored glasses. My computer is on the ultimate fritz. No longer do I bat an eye when "the frost" comes. A swift series of hooks, whacking my computer screen shakes it from the "sickness" as Thamina called it. The screen goes still and a frosty glow starts crystalizing in from the sides of the screen until it frosts everything in a dirty colored mist. But along with the keyboard falling off, the wireless internet card being fickle, and more, I fear a new computer might be in the immediate future. We shall see. I hope Dell will fix it all because it should be under warranty. Stay tuned.

i can just see you, your hair going slightly einstein-ish, shaking a frosty computer screen while a million other things are going on around you. there is slight panic in your eyes and you are begging the computer in muttered tones to wake up.... then the vision fades with you much too put together for any of this to happen... anyway-i'm glad you have a blog now.
What I hope is Dell feels so bad about how deathly ill your computer is that they give you a new one, hopefully one with a web cam. Then you being in Asia for three weeks won't feel so long.
1) This is me commenting so that you know WHY you're getting a hit from Lex-vegas KY. (my sisters have no interest in blogs...)
2) GO TO ASIA! I regret not going this summer when I was invited and I would hate for you to miss such an incredible opportunity. Particularly if you ever want to do international work.
3) I still think you should introduce some political dialogue or indulge in current events. Just saying, is all...
