Some pictures and some commentary

All right, I've got some pictures. I'm going to try and do this chronologically, but it may be off.












This is Y Mountain as I drove into Provo.













This is my dorm room right after unpacking. I assure you, it is no longer this neat.
Here's the sign welcoming one to BYU.













If you can't read it, it says "Enter to learn, go forth to serve."













To the left is one of the coolest hats I've seen worn in public. Where can I buy one?













This is my roommate. In the grand tradition of my life, he is much taller than me. (If you knew some of my friends, you would understand.)













The cheerleaders at the beginning of New Student Orientation. This was a three-day introduction program for new freshman and transfers. The cheerleaders and marching band followed the movie about the very inspiring stories surrounding the founding of BYU. It's very fascinating and can be found here. Let me just say, that Karl Maeser is one of my new heroes.













This is the Maeser Building, which is where the Honors Program is located. More on that later.













This is a statue in the atrium of the Joseph Smith Building. It's very inspiring in there, and I intend to make it one of my study spots. Fun fact: their are baptismal fonts located in the JSB, for those who decide to join the Church while attending BYU.












This bit of hardware is located in front of the Eyring Science Center. Believe it or not, it is the exhaust apparatus of an underground nuclear facility. I'm not joking. BYU has many underground laboratories, such as atom-smashers, etc. At least, so I am told. But this is indeed part of a small-scale nuclear power plant.













This is my Y-Group. They're all in my same area of academic interest. We're all geeks.













This is Professor Sowell. This guy's awesome. He's in charge of the Honors Program. This was taken during a Q&A session at the end of a meeting about the program. We broke the fire code many times over fitting every one into the Varsity Theater. Hundreds of students were interested. I was sold within the first ten minutes. The details and requirements of the program are found here, if you're interested in what I'll be doing for the next four years. Use the links at the left of the screen. After the meeting was a banquet, where a live jazz band played and we were served pork chops and mashed potatoes.













This is from a volleyball match played against Stanford. We crushed them most decisively, with a 15-point lead in the fourth game. It was pathetic. I made the mistake of sitting in the cheering section, where we stood for the whole hour-and-a-half. Then I rode my bike back to my dorm. Not fun. By the way, a moment of silence in grim acknowledgement of BYU's defeat by ASU.

Finally, this is Cosmo the Cougar. He is the single most awesome mascot in all of Athlitismos Kollegioy. I'd love that job! I hope to soon get a picture with him.

Furthermore, my experience also may include identifying the competitive advantage
for the few different companies and crafting
that advantage into a marketing strategy to develop start up
business. An HVAC repair company is most often started with a technician who may have learned the trade through previous employment.
If you're still at the loss, you are able to contact the client care team either by email, live chat, or

Around one quarter of adult men and as many as half of all adult women are likely to suffer acne at some time in their
adulthood. Now, if you're an adult and you suffer from acne scars,
you very well may need a professional treatment.
If you have sensitive skin or if you're applying it anywhere near your
face you might want to dilute it further by mixing water to reduce the acid level of it.
