Kick Carroll College's (you know what)!!!!

Well Its Tuesday everyone, which is one day closer to kicking Carroll College's (you know what) on this Saturday afternoon. We will prepare for this week just like every other week in the season. But it seems like we fly around a little harder this week in practice. If you haven’t heard we stomped Western last weekend 42-28, it was a good game at first. They would score and we would score which happened a couple rounds then we stopped them right before halftime and we scored to go up by a touchdown and never looked back from there. After the game I rode back with my parents and we ate in Melrose, I have never had a burger so big in my life! I’m not joking at all everyone, these burgers were gigantic. These burgers were 8oz and had a half pound of roast beef stalked on top of it. So Ms. Abigail came to Butte on Sunday night from Helena and stayed the night. Then yesterday we decided we would go out and try shooting my new 17/HMR. We were shooting bottles and I will not lie to my loyal blog readers, Abby shot two bottles and I didn’t shoot one. She out shot me yesterday, so GOOD JOB ABBY! Well I hope that you all come to the CARROLL game this weekend to watch us go 2-0 in the Frontier Conference. I hope you like the video of Abby shooting the 17/HMR!!!!!

Frontier Conference

What’s cracking everyone? I just got done doing some homework and cooking a very scrumptious dinner. I cooked three burgers, and I would just like to say they were the best burgers that I have ever cooked on the BBQ! Well everyone, the first full week of school is here and almost done. Geez the weeks and days just seem to roll just right on by when I’m so darn busy. Football keeps me very busy between practice, lifting, film and trying to catch some shut eye in between. We lost last weekend in South Dakota, which we shouldn’t have at all, but let’s not talk a lot about last weekend. So this weekend we play Western. They always play us tough, and I will be watching a lot of film from last year’s two games so I can scout the guy I will be playing against. So Sully will be in the house this weekend, and I’m excited to see him since I haven’t seen him in a really long time, not to mention how weird it is not having Shannon Baby and Sully here this school year. My parents will be coming down on Friday night so they can just get up and drive to the game Saturday morning. We are practicing very well so far this week, a lot better than last week’s practices, and I’m really excited to dominate some Dawgs this weekend. So we only had two applications turned in for the Freshman Senators this semester, and elections are tomorrow and Thursday, so everyone should vote! Well everyone have a good week, and I’ll check back in when we are 1-0 in the Frontier Conference.

ASMT!

Well happy first week of school everyone, if there is such a thing (LOL)! Lately I have been spending a lot of time with the other ASMT executive team pretty much gutting the office. When I say “gutting the office”, I mean getting rid of boxes and boxes of papers, like the Student Handbook from 1972. This office has been the storage room for a while, and we have cleaned it out, and it isn’t looking too shabby if I say so myself. Well it’s the first GAME WEEK of our 2009 season, and our destination is the National Championship. We leave Thursday night at midnight for South Dakota. It’s nice leaving so late because then we can sleep on the bus and wake up and be in South Dakota. If you are a freshman here at Montana Tech and want to join the student government, come to the SUB in room 202 and pick up an application to run for our two openings. Employers really like you to have extracurricular activities, and student government looks really good on an application. Well I took my first ice bath yesterday, and let’s just say it was cold. It was different sitting in ice-cold water, but it felt really good. I was ice-bathing for my right leg and ankle. So I was sitting in the ice bath with two ice bags on my shoulders, so I looked like I was really beat up, which I am. Well everyone have a great first week of school!!!!!

Back In Butte!

Well first of all I’m sorry I haven’t blogged in a really long time everyone!!! I finally have time to sit down and take a break to give a shout out to all my loyal readers. I’m back down in Butte, and football is in full swing. We just finished up with two-a-days, and now we only have one-a-day, which is a good thing because I don’t think my body could take much more beating. I had Direct TV installed on Monday, so I’m really excited to have that up and going and really excited to have NFL Sunday Ticket, which means I will be able to watch every Dallas Cowboy game this season. I’m really excited to have DVR so I can record the Cowboys games when we are watching game film and I can watch the game after. My parents came to Butte this last weekend because they were in Yellowstone for the weekend and made a slight swing towards Butte. They will be back this weekend for my scrimmage, and my sister and Vance will be down also, so it will be nice to see everyone again. So I got my Sunday Ticket room all setup, and I have buddies that have already decided to invite themselves over to come and watch the games with me (LOL). School starts next Tuesday, and I’m excited to get back in the swing of things here in Butte. I have already started my ASMT work: I put in my order to get keys to the office so I can go in and clean and look around. Well everyone I promise to start blogging twice a week, so I will talk to you very soon!!!!

Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone, and welcome to my last week of work until I go back and the real work starts LOL. Well I really have enjoyed working at MDT this summer, even though the summer has just flown by. I really feel like I fit in, and I made a lot of great connections for the future. If you guys would like to see some of the videos that I have created you can click on this link http://www.mdt.mt.gov/jobs/video.shtml, and they obviously are on the left hand side. They will probably glitch at first, but if you click play and then stop it and play it again, it should work like a champ. So those are just a couple of videos that I have created this summer. As you probably already know, I went around and made a video for most every intern. I had a couple of interns who didn’t return my emails or phone calls, so they didn’t get one. It’s official everyone: I have ordered Direct TV which only means I have, oh yes, I have NFL SUNDAY TICKET now, which is great news, because now I can watch every Cowboy game and watch them dominate the league. Well when we get back there are around twelve of us that are going to get a fantasy football league going, and I think that if we all put in ten bucks then the pot will pay out $120 bucks, which isn’t too bad for doing something fun. This week I have to pack everything up, and when I say everything, I mean my clothes and that’s about it LOL. Since I kept my house over the summer, I don’t have to move anything back and forth between Helena and Butte, which is always nice. Well everyone, my summer in review will be coming on Thursday, so stay tuned!!!!!!!

Well Good Morning!

Well good morning to all my loyal bloggers! It’s Thursday, which means I only have six days of work left in my first official internship with the Department of Transportation. Actually my Aunt and I were talking yesterday, and she couldn’t believe how fast this summer has gone by. She said it seemed like it was just two weeks ago that I was starting on here at MDT! Well this week has been busy upon busy, but really, what else is new! I have been coming to work every day, and then after work I go and do yard work for Liz at the new house in town that she bought. Russell is helping me with everything, so it’s nice having someone else there, and also the help is really nice too. On Monday, we went to bring up some of the patio furniture from her house in Montana City, and then she explained really what she wanted us to do. So then on Tuesday, we got everything ready to go work up there, and we got rained out. I was mad because it just put us a day behind of where I really wanted to be. So yesterday we did cut a lot of dead branches off trees, and then we cut down a fairly good size tree, but my chainsaw started to act up after a while, so we quit for the day and will go and finish up with all the tree stuff today. So this weekend is really my last weekend, and I plan on going fishing at least one of the days. It’s going to be weird when I go back to Butte, because it’s a whole different lifestyle down there than here in Helena. Actually it’s pretty much like a whole different life. I say this because I won’t see my parents until our game in South Dakota, and I have been working and mowing every day this summer. Then when I get to Butte, I will start with the ASMT Vice President job and football pretty much 24/7 for the next, oh, four months, and then in about a month I will be adding school to the schedule. But I’m excited for school and football to start. I say this now but I’m sure I’ll be regretting those words soon. Well everyone, next week I will be recapping the summer so stay tuned!!!!

Intern Wrap Up!

Well good morning everyone, and HAPPY MONDAY to all my loyal blog readers! So I have been very busy at work doing editing upon editing. My eyes have been red and sore all week from doing so much editing; I had to complete all of my intern spotlight videos before yesterday because we had our intern wrap up day. The day went pretty good. In the morning we had a little class taught by Kila, and she’s a bad ‘A’ if you catch my drift. Her class was on generation caps in the work place. The four different generations are Veterans, Baby Boomers, Gen X and Millenniums, which I’m a Millennium. It was a pretty cool training with a lot of pictures and open discussion of what we thought about the other generations, and then they told us what they thought about us. For example, she taught them that our generation can multitask (we can text and still be productive or listen), and that if we are texting it’s not to be disrespectful, it’s just that we need to be in constant contact with our friends and family. Then we had a BBQ out in the courtyard, and the Director flipped burgers for us, which was pretty cool. After lunch was a session where we went around and told everyone about our internships. There were a lot of great ones, but sadly a couple where people just kind of hated being an intern here. When it was my time, I showed on the big projector screen everyone’s intern spotlight videos. They all seemed to really like them, which really made me feel good that I did a good job, which brings me back to the generations thing. Kila told us that my generation needs to pretty much have an “At a boy” or instant positive feedback. So this weekend I will be moving stuff around at the units. I will be moving my stuff which is a little here and a little there into one 10x10 unit. So I will be getting up early Saturday morning to move this stuff before the sun hits and then probably hit the lake or the rope swing. Well everyone, have a great weekend and HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
