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.
