I found this event by signing up through an email sent by the COJO department head. I took the day off to attend with a school excused absence. It was difficult to get the shot because of the crowded room, which made it hard to get a clear shot that encompassed the events. I usedContinue reading “Photo Journalism”

On August 17 2019 I made what could have been a life ending move by some. I said I do and got married at the ripe old age of 19. I got married before “living it up in college” and I don’t regret it at all. I love being married because I live with myContinue reading “I got married at 19: Five reasons my life isn’t over”

A couple weeks ago I wrote about Teddy Roosevelt’s method for schoolwork. Last time I wrote about this method I talked about how I had gotten my work time down to a three hour a day average, which is only an hour over the great Theodore’s average.

I am not too great at photography and I also don’t like putting myself in the positionsContinue reading “Developing skills (and anxiety)”

I’ve been bouldering for half a year and I’m pretty okay at it. But as I would boulder I’d finish my problems and look up at the others. The ones who were climbing top rope and loving it. They’d take bigger risks for bigger pay outs and rely only on the rope and their partnerContinue reading “My experiences taking a top rope climbing class”

So guys, I am a nerd. Recently I read a massive biography on Teddy Roosevelt, the politician who said what he thought and did what he said he would do. During his time as an assemblyman in New York he even clocked one (off hours of course.) He lead a fascinating life, but to meContinue reading “Working like Teddy Week 1”

For those who don’t know, winters in Southern Wyoming are typically long and harsh. This is fine, it can get uncomfortable but all in all it is fine. Unless, you like to hike. What happens if you like to hike is that you end up thigh deep in snow that can cushion a fall, andContinue reading “Out of Season”
