511 days since I joined xanga. 3 days until I join my new friends at BYU.
I wish someone would slap me though for deciding I’d only need one day off work to clean my room out and pack all my stuff. I am still barely knee deep in stuff. I had no idea I had so much stuff.
Oh, and I have sooooo much artwork I can hardly store it all. Which for some unexplainable reason made me really scared about being an art major for the first time. What if I don’t make it? Then I will have all this unsold artwork and I will starve to death or worse- work at McDonalds for the rest of my life.
My last weekend here was sweet and fun and wonderful yet very unmemorable. It was really just a normal weekend with a little packing. (er . . . lot).
Yesterday at work I listened to the Bill Engvil CD’s Margaret burned for me. And then I went to Lou Malnatis after work to visit Mary and Dana. Wendy’s, then Mary’s house.
Today I packed and shopped (got a really cool back pack and lap top case thing) and organized and cleared and trashed and then went to Walker Brothers with my family to say goodbye. I will miss my family, but I will also miss walker brothers. And chineese food in general. And pizza. Good bye Chicago.
Tomorrow will be my last Sunday as a full time member of the Buffalo Grove first ward (from wence comes the _bg1)

Can’t wait to see you in Provo! It’ll be good times my friend
I totally know what you mean about not knowing how much stuff you have!! I thankfully took work off a week early, and had slowly been packing throughout the summer. But that last week (and last night!) were definitely crunch time!!
Yeah…don’t even owrry about not making it art-wise lol! And don’t ya know that McDonald’s is a growinng business! They have a lot of room to grow in foreign countries!
See ya in a few days!
My career advice: do what you love. Don’t worry about money, you can’t take it with you to the other side.
But hey, it’ll be cool meeting you.
BYU is the coolest place in the whole world!!! i hope you have a SUPER time!!!
my bro and sister are actually gonna be on their way out there this week! yay for mormon schools! luv, me…the cool kid on the block.
dude dan…i dont know much about LDS art, but i’m quite a fan of art in general and i tend to be quite unique with the work myself so i thought “i’m a latter day artist and i like art in general…so i’ve GOTTA love LDS art.” but anywho, you’re gonna have to enlighten me with some stuff up in BYU…i’m already having such a blast!
*slap* you needed more time off!
i’m definetly kidding, i want to hear all about BYU when you get there, and make sure you say hi to gloria ok?
