re college students who are broke as it is, expected to pay that much money for one semester of books? So let’s say on average you pay $600 per semester and you go five years like me, that’s a total of $6,000 just for freaking books. I even bought my books off the internet which probably saved me somewhere around $200. I think that you should be able to rent the books from the bookstore for a flat rate of like $25 or $50, and then at the end of the semester, if you don’t wreck the book or lose it you will get your money back. You might ask well what happens if I rented a book and never returned it, well you would get charged full price for it and it would just go on to your student fees. Well everyone I hope you all have a great week!!!!!!!!

Books Suck!!!!
Good afternoon, everyone. I hope all of you students had a great three day break like me. Well it’s official: football offseason has officially begun. Last night we did our 20’s, vertical jump, height & weight and digger agility. Now the next three days we will be doing our max lifting so we can base our lifting schedule for the next three months. It felt really good to get back with the team and see everyone again. It’s weird being with the football team from August till November, and then it seems like everyone has their own clicks outside of football. The topic for the rest of my blog is going to be books. I think that it is absolutely ridiculous that our books for school are so freaking expensive. My total for books for just this current semester was $600. Now how a

Denver Here I Come!!!!!
Back to the grindstone we go everyone. School has officially started back up, which means I’m that closer to going to Denver for my internship with NEWMONT. I’m so excited to spend the summer in Denver and test out the big city. My boss is coming up here to Tech this week, and we will be meeting to discuss some fine details about my internship. I’m even taking Process of Particulate Systems, which is a metallurgy class. My boss wanted me to take this so I’m more fluent with lingo, which is kind of exciting. This semester I will be taking nineteen credits, while having spring football and also doing the ASMT thing. If you haven’t heard, we are getting a new HPER complex here at Tech. 
They have already gone through the process of hiring the construction company and everything. I have been chosen to represent the students’ opinion in this important process. I will be mostly representing the athletes here on campus since I’m a football player. I thought it was really an honor that I was chosen. This Christmas Break was the sweetest ever. I hung out with a lot of my old high school friends and saw a lot of people that haven’t seen since graduation. I didn’t hang out with the family as much as I would have liked, but I had a lot of fun going out and letting my hair down, so to say, for once. Last semester seemed to drag on towards the end, and I just needed to have fun. I turned twenty-one over break and it feels awesome to be twenty-one. I still can’t believe that I’m already twenty-one years old, it feels like just yesterday I was having my birthday at the Adventure Zone in Helena, if you want to talk about a fun birthday party. Well Vance and I went ice fishing on Sunday, and we caught ten Perch. That’s not a lot by any means, but we did lose four or five each. Since we caught so many Perch at our spot last year, we GPS marked it so we could find the spot every time. Our spot wasn’t as hot as it should be, but from the sounds of it, we had a good day compared to everyone else. I can’t believe how big the Perch are this year; I bet that four or five of our Perch were pounders, which are a pretty darn nice Perch. Well everyone, I have to get my class stuff ready, so I will chat with you all later.

VEGAS BABY...........
Well everyone I finally got my account fixed and I’m back in action. My account password wouldn’t log me into my account and I apologize that I have kept everyone waiting. So let’s see, my Christmas went great. Autumn, Vance and Brad came over to open presents on Christmas Eve and then Autumn and Vance went up to Malta for Christmas but Brad still came over for Christmas dinner. Then two days after Christmas was my 21st birthday. Yes everyone I’m legal to drink now. Me and a couple of my buddies went out around Helena and had a great time. So then on New Year’s Eve I left for VEGAS. Me Sully, Atrain, Chuck , Bo and Wacy all drove down to VEGAS for a couple days and then we are going to Glendale Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl which will be so sweet. We are going to paint our bodies, be looking up in the end zone, that’s where we will be sitting. So we will be getting up early in the morning so we can try and go buy some tickets to the Packers and Cardinals game. I have never been to an NFL game so I really want to go and try to get tickets. I guess if we don’t we will be going to a pub or something to watch the other football games. Then on the way back we will be playing it by ear on if we will drive back in one day or break it up. Well everyone now that my account is working again I will check back in after I get back this next week.
