Ok so this week has been a beast! Have you noticed the trend! I have! Everyweek is a beast, busy, out of control, or what ever phase you would like to use! Oh well so is life. So I had a short week as far as school goes. A bunch of guys at work got sick this week and took time off work, so guess what happened to me! Come on Guess! yeah that is right! I got sick too! Unfortunately for me I could not take time of work, so I had to take time away from school. Yeah it sucks, but part of the responsibility of being a husband is putting food on the table. So work or school had to be removed from the equation. So I figured that I might as well return the favor and pass my "bug" onto someone at work, seams how they gave the bug to me. Anyway I am feeling much better, the last two days were brutal, but I survived, even though i didn't want too.
Well I the bad thing about working full time and going to school full time is the extreme lack of sleep. I think after going 36 hours without sleep somewhat contributed to my immune system weakening, and the whole idea of being up since 3:00 and having to be up at 3:00 to go back to work on a Saturday is weakening my thought process, so I'm going to bed!

Another Week!
Wow, what a week! I have to say that I survived another week fighting in the undergraduate trenches, and the only thing I have to look forward to is another one. I almost feel like I am standing in the ranks of the 300 Spartan soldiers fighting off the hordes of Persians.
Anyway, the NFL started as well! that is a good thing, because that means Fantasy Football has began as well! So far I'm doing well! I won two out of three games, the bad thing is the ONE GAME I LOST was the ONLY one that I'm MAJORLY concerned ABOUT!!!!! There is only 250 bucks for the winner in that league! The other thing is, I out score every other team in the league except the team I played!!!! ARRGGGGHHH.
Anyway, enough of that! So i participated in the college tour this week. It went very well. We had several students come and talk to us about USU Price. Of course a lot of these students were concerned about what is going to happen with the CEU and USU increased affiliation. And of course, we had no answers for them. The good thing is is that I have seen a big change around the CEU campus. It is no longer considered to be a bad thing, I'm sure there is still some people that are not comfortable, but I'm sure that will all change in time.
Ok, so I have a crap load of homework to get done so I'm signing off for now. Maybe next time I'll be a little more creative!

Getting Things Going in Price!
Hey everyone! How goes it now? I think that I am finally become accustomed to USU Price Atmosphere (it only took me, What? Three weeks?). Its kind of sad considering how small the campus is compared to others. Anyway that is besides the point. Things are finally getting going for the Price Campus. I have been in contact with Jen and Rebecca about getting a tailgate party going on for the homecoming game; this of course completely depends on being able to get a broadcast of the game to the campus. The works are in the process! I'm thinking: burgers, dogs, chips, soda, and pizza! Really any type of football food would be great!
Other than that I have another event set up..... which is actually set set up for the 6th of Nov. I have spoken with Dr. Robert Mueller about a lecture for potential students. Obviously this is a free event in order to show students the quality of instruction that exists in USU! If any of you have not taken a class from Dr. Meuller I would highly recommend it! The work load is intense, but well worth it. Due to the fact that the homework is highly demanding I would only take the class if you, first need it to fulfill a requirement or you just absolutely love history. I am really excited about this event, not only because Dr. Mueller is such great instructor, but because it will open up the campus to CEU students.
Right now there is a lot of questions about CEU-USU increased affiliation. Unfortunately we have no new information about what is going to happen, so when people ask us question, we have to reply with the programed response: I don't know. All I know is that the Board of Regence has become involved and has asked USU to become more involved in the Price area. To be honest I'm extremely excited about it. I think that it will open the doors to more and more educational opportunities to the people around this area!
Alright! I'm sure I've bored the average reader enough. Plus, the cold hard facts are that this blog has 2 followers, so both of you have my number so you can call me any time if you need any more info!

Getting Things Started!
Well,.... How goes it everyone? Not too shabby here, just extremely tired. The second week of school has passed and we are heading into a long weekend and boy of boy do I need it! So this week I went 48 hours with a combined three hours of sleep. Yeah I realized that I was behind and I had to get some home work done. So what did I do? I drank a gallon of coffee (not really) and stayed up until 2:00 am. Not that big of a deal huh? Well, it got the best of me, because I start work at 4:00 am. I did that two nights in a row, and now I'm nodding off while I'm typing!
I actually met with Brad this week and we discussed some idea for recruitment. We discussed having a brown bag lunch lecture series for our CEU students. After asking my wife about what issues she would have about attending classes at USU Price, her main concern was taking broadcast classes. To be honest I was a little concerned myself, but after attending these classes my worries have been put to rest. So I thought that if my wife and I shared the same concern their is a strong chance that other students may share the same concern. So as an effort to introduce our prospective students to the distance education life we are going to host these lectures provided by some of the professors. This semester we will only do one... just to see how it goes. If we have success we will hopefully host one lecture a month. So now my work begins to find a professor that will be willing to take time out of their schedule to this for us.
Well, I'm off. It's 6:00 pm and I'm ready to crash. What a way to spend a Friday night!!!!!

The First Week of School!
Well the first week of school has came and gone. I have to say that I am excited and worried as well! But a lot of My worries have been put to rest after the first day of my classes. Every one of my professors are absolutely amazing! Which puts me at ease, but that ease was quickly erased when I printed out my first 38 page syllabus! Goodbye ease and hello stress! But I am looking forward to this semester and all the information that I can learn.
So there has been a lot questions around the CEU campus about the CEU and USU merger. As of now, we still do not have a lot of information about the changes that are going to take place, but we took a bit step this week, as far as the USU ambassador position. Brad Watson, Dan Allred, myself, and Terry Johnson (the recruitment specialist for CEU) all sat down for a meeting to discuss my interaction with the CEU ambassadors. It went really well and I will be able to attend the leadership classes at CEU and coordinate activities with the CEU ambassadors. We also explained to him the "Comprehensive College Model" will not only be a huge benefit to USU Price but CEU as well, because he will be able pitch the idea of a four year degree availbe in Price. Like I said before, we don't know much, but I am excited about all of educational opportunities that will be available to CEU students as well as the residents of Price. The greatest thing is is that more people will have access to upper level education without having to leave the area! And that includes ME!!!!!
Well I best be off to do some homework! Yeah... I'm kind of a loser I do homework on Friday nights. Oh well huh!!!!!!
